The Amish girls are educated up until 13-14. They have a fertility rate of 6.1, church attendance at 85%, marriage age 21 to 22, virginity rate 90-95%, and divorce rate less than 1%. College educated career woman have a fertility rate of 1.73, church attendance of 68%, marriage age 27 to 28, virginity rate 25-30%, and divorce rate of 32%. But go ahead and tell me how important it is that your daughters go to college and have a career.

UPDATE: AIs have achieved the highest *possible* score on the Mensa Norway IQ test - 151 3 years ago: cognitively impaired human (64 IQ) 2 years ago: average human 1 year ago: genius human Today: literally off the charts Next year?

The worst and most prolonged psychological torture you can inflict on a woman is to convince her she's as good as any man. This torture is lifelong, unendurable, and once you set up the initial conditions, the pain becomes self-inflicted. You see, women are genetically programmed for two things. First, to raise children. Second, to select a man who is superior to her to bear those children for. Not equal. Certainly not lesser. Superior. There is no point in arguing about this. It is obviously true to anyone who looks around himself without blinders made of wishful thinking. There is no point in becoming angry at me or anyone else about this. It is true whether I wish it to be or not, and whether you wish it to be or not. There is no point in trying to talk women out of this. It is not a part of their culture or education. It is not an individual character flaw in them. It is part of their genetic recipe. Therefore, if you convince a woman she is equal to most men, she will only be willing to bear children to a small percentage of exceptional men. If you convince her that she is the equal of any man, she will be unwilling to start a family with anyone. And she will remain genetically programmed to do so. When I was a child, and again when I was a young man, in high school and college, I noticed that the older adults who staffed the education system seemed to think "girls' self-esteem" was our most precious resource, perhaps because it's good for stable nuclear fusion containment, or as a growth medium for cancer-curing fruit trees. Well, I sure hope they're making good progress on that nuclear fusion thing, because it sure is hard on the women they grow up into. Perhaps they thought having a high self-esteem is the same as feeling good. Perhaps they thought half of humanity's potential Newtons, Einsteins, and Da Vincis were hidden among the ranks of the fair sex, waiting to be unlocked by "Project Self Esteem", and no, I did not make that name up. Perhaps they were retarded. They did, after all, work for the government. Self-esteem is not being happy. Self-esteem is not even feeling good. Self-esteem is how awesome you think you are. And if you think you're awesome, when you're mediocre, then you're miserable, because everyone around you treats you a whole lot worse than you think you deserve. High self-esteem is great for young men. It makes them take risks. And to thrive men need to take risks, and achieve things, for many reasons, one of which is that women only mate up. High self-esteem is not so good for young women. It doesn't get them anything they wouldn't have already had. It just makes them less happy with it. Sure, there's such a thing as self-esteem too low, but if a woman can look you in the eye, instead of in the shoes, when she talks to you, she's pretty much good to go. Anything more than that is superfluous at best, and at worst... well, eyeball the video for a moment and you'll see what I mean. But the misery isn't just personal. This is the fertility crisis in a nutshell. We, Western civilization, have spent the past five or six decades telling little boys that they are worthless sacks of protoplasm, and telling little girls that the sun shines out of their collective girl parts. And look what's happened. The fertility crisis is stupidly simple. When you elevate the status of women by giving them a greater share of respect, and of society's wealth, which is created by men, they refuse to have children. You can reverse this by allowing men to keep the wealth they create, instead of giving it to women. Then they will give it to women themselves, but the women will look up to them, and there will be children again. During the Trump administration so far, 94% of new job went to women. This is not natural or organic. This doesn't happen on its own. This is not happening because women are "crushing it". Women are the same women they have always been, risk averse, clustered around average intelligence, prone to wait for others to lead. This is not an accident. This is spin on the ball. Women vote. And pandering is an easy way to get those votes. But give a moderately pretty one a single email job at a Silicon Valley startup, and pretty soon she thinks that the father of her children should be a "post-economic" jet-setter with the body of a professional athlete who ticks all the boxes her therapist thinks are important. And she thinks she can pick him off a shelf at age 35. This is a vote, conscious or not, willing or not, for the extinction of humanity. Throughout the genetic history of humanity, approximately 80% of women had children, as opposed to 37% of men. Those numbers don't lie. Most men either weren't exceptional enough to breed, or died trying to become exceptional enough to breed. Women just had to not be in the bottom quintile. Not to be horrible, or horribly unlucky. This bears out what we already know. And this is why Western civilization told women they were the weaker sex, the dumber sex, the more fragile sex. Why Eve was said to made to serve Adam. Because this preserved civilization and the species. Women were actually happier that way, because women don't want to win. They want a winner. But even if it didn't, what choice would we have? The only nations and tribes in the world which are still breeding are the ones where women are still of low status. And if you try to replace Westerners with them, try to make them into Westerners, not only will you fail, but even if you succeed, they'll stop breeding, too. And we know now why there are no matriarchies. Its not because men have superior strength, and enslaved women with violence. It's because matriarchies don't breed. Humans are an animal, like any other animal. Every animal has mating rituals, and if those rituals can't be conducted, there will be no next generation. This is why some animals can be bred in zoos, and others cannot. We know what's wrong. We just lack the political will to fix it. Because it's "not fair". Well, of course it's not fair. But look around you. Look at the universe. Look at history. Whatever made you expect that things would be fair?

It is quite astounding the number of modern women who do not realise that one of the features of marriage is that you grow with the other person, you change along with them. No one is a perfect match to begin with, you grow and change together and through struggle and goodness of heart you become each others soulmate.

holy shit i asked claude to make a video on western civiization

Toys r us is reopening 120 physical stores thanks to adults that prefer to buy toys for themselves. Here’s to Never Growing Up

Wow, Cosmos Hub is now having its Juno Prop 16 moment. I never thought we'd see a repeat of this, yet here we are. And unfortunately for Cosmos Hub hodlers, we all know what happened to Juno. Here's a recap of the situation: 1) Someone, let's call him "ch_user" acquires a load of NTRN tokens in the open market. 2) ch_user uses those NTRN tokens to win a governance vote to acquire a bunch of tokens from Astroport (it could be argued that these are abandoned tokens, on an abandoned dex, on an abandoned chain). 3) Validators don't like the outcome of that governance vote (let's remember, this wasn't a hack or exploit) and choose instead to freeze the chain, alter it's state, and steal those tokens from ch_user (that he acquired through governance). 4) Chain restarts, ch_user no longer has his tokens. What was the point of him acquiring NTRN tokens in the first place? 4) ch_user says hey, if these tokens can't be fairly acquired through governance (rememeber, he bought the NTRN governance tokens in the open market to win the vote) then what is the point of them? Please give me back all the tokens you've stolen from me. And here we are: mintscan.io/cosmos/proposals… Whose side are you on? It certainly reminds everyone of the famous Juno Prop 16 vote, where validators chose to retroactively steal the airdroped JUNO tokens from a user who they thought had gotten too much. Crazy times.

The entire human race is going to collapse based on 6's waiting for Thor to show up in a Bugatti

I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron. Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence. Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones – they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons. Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist. After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers – including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament – believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence. New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today? worksinprogress.co/issue/wea…

How many children do you want? “As many as possible” is the only answer compatible with civilization.

The downfall of human society began with the mass proliferation of prisons. For all of human history prior to that, the penalty to virtually any crime was execution, and it has been proven to be highly eugenic to the human genome, culling anyone with low impulse control.

Almost everone on earth misunderstands the birth rate and why it is going down. The conclusions people give make it clear who is mentally broken.

wtf when did i get 5 million followers y’all are crazy

Memecoins are businesses. As a meme founder your only job early on is to ensure each token sold gets positive ROI. This exceeds all other factors. If someone doesn't bring more financial, social, cultural or creative capital than what they can extract, they should never be allowed the opportunity to enter early. The founders most important task is actually layering supply distribution to most positive ROI first, just like a real business. 2 common ways to kill coins are preferring friends, preferring silent whales and preferring timeline jeets. Friends are people you like, which frequently leads to ignoring objectively negative ROI. They're often along for the ride and it might seem fun, but they're not actually bringing more than they take, just like a family business. Silent whales may also hold, but their total lack of social influence or promotion often makes their ownership of supply costly. They are waiting for others to "do something" instead of doing it themselves. Timeline jeets doesn't need explaining. People who cannot hold more than minutes should never be allowed the opportunity to buy early unless you have a setup to ensure volume is eaten or gets you positive fee ROI. You can either think about this at the outset, or wait years to achieve the same organic distribution, by which time a lot of the other factors of success (energy, momentum, enthusiasm, etc) may have waned by more than what you gained in achieving distribution. Solution then is to think about ruthlessly at outset, because it's the absolute key to success, all being equal. Never let someone hold a coin who doesn't bring more than what they take

A majority of Walt Disney World traffic is childless adults Catering to adults increased revenues and profits as childless adults have more disposable income to spend on themselves. Thus, infantile adults have priced out many actual children, who make up a dwindling minority of the park's guests and who are by virtue of astronomical prices, restricted by class. The same dynamic has already transformed the toy industry: adult-only households account for 55 percent of spending on toys.

I took my kids to Disney and left feeling utterly disgusted with the entire experience, despite my kids loving it The entire thing enraged me, namely: 1) fat, useless, ugly women toting around equally fat, useless kids with diabetes. In my book, that’s child abuse; 2) pathetic, unhealthy men walking around with disgusting “wives” or girlfriends, acting like it’s normal to be an adult at Disney world without kids and that this behavior shouldn’t warrant an immediate ass kicking; 3) a general sense among the patrons that it’s ok to act like a fucking child and be there without small kids, even though it’s weird and creepy as shit; 4) an entire corporation there to remove these idiots from their (likely borrowed) money and recycle it into extremely gay content no one asked for; 5) endless lines that you could only avoid with a private tour ($) that obviously very few people could afford; and 6) a general sense that Disney was ripping everyone off just because its adult customers couldn’t grow up, control their appetite, and act like an adult
