“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The limits of engineering

There have been a number of high-IQ men who have stepped up occupy the highest office in the land – the Presidency of the United States of America. Some of them were extraordinarily intelligent – men like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Q....

Enough messing about

Pretty much what the US southern border looks like right about now… It would appear that there is a rather large invading army of South Americans headed straight for the US southern border at this time: Over 1,500 Central Americans are on a crusade across Mexico...

When white elephants fly

It is time to switch gears somewhat today and take a look at a really big plane. No, I have not gone mad. (Well, no more so than usual, I suppose.) I bring this up because the European-made, European-built superjumbo is, in my opinion, going to go down in history as a...

Here we go again… again

Did you watch Tropic Thunder a few years back? Hilarious movie, right? Remember the fake “trailers” at the beginning of the film? Specifically, this one? You know how it is said that life imitates art? Well, the apocalyptic (and half-arsed)...

Good old Uncle Milton

Milton Friedman is, of course, one of the greatest economists who ever lived- even if he was not quite as strong a defender of freedom and human liberty and capitalism as people tend to think he was. As Vox Day has repeatedly pointed out, his...

Preach it, Novak

Yeah. Totally equal in terms of achievements. The world’s greatest tennis player at the moment- who is increasingly becoming a real threat to Roger Federer’s peerless status as the “Greatest Of All Time”- recently made some quite innocuous...

There goes my alumni donation

One of the best universities in the world (according to several different standards) is now doing its damnedest to become one of the stupidest in the world, thanks to overzealous nitwits who want to suppress the free speech of their fellows: In a stunning display of...

r/K theory and conservative principles

Ever wondered what happens when you put two highly intelligent and well-read conservative/libertarian types on a podcast and get them talking about r/K selection theory and its applications to politics? Wonder no more: Grab yourself a tall drink, sit back, relax, and...
