Wizards of the Coast dropped half-race (eg Half-Elf-Half-Orc) D&D characters, claiming “half construction is inherently racist.” This mirrors how woke circles now see interracial marriage as problematic (insisting a biracial kid must pick one identity). Time to get post-racist.

Why do so many ‘race realists’ & anti-immigrant dudes marry outside their group—often building families w/ non-white or immigrant wives? Turns out right-wing men frequently avoid white women. So much for stereotypes about racism, genetics, & politics. Identity ain't so simple.

More and more people are pointing out to us that the number of actual "true believers" among the woke is pretty low—that the left is largely comprised of various supremacist groups that have been promised special status and treatment. War ensues when subgroups' interests clash.

Just weeks after Trump’s public spat with Jimmy Kimmel, Google admitted the Biden admin quietly pressured platforms to censor people—removing ‘right wing’ content, vaccine/mask concerns, & lab leak talk. Which is scarier: Public fights or hidden, behind-closed-doors silencing?

The way narratives are presented online, it's easy to conflate anger and other performative sex-dimorphic traits with actual masculinity—to the point of repelling genuinely good female partners. Important to remember that strong families are built on teamwork and not roleplay.

It's horrifying how readily people pushed youth gender transition seeing as IQ drops after puberty blockers and early transition (7–15 pts, animal studies show worse) & studies show lasting impacts + risk of depression/anxiety. If you gotta do it, just wait for adulthood.

This is precisely why we should encourage and support women to freeze their eggs. It's no longer a debate between tech and culture. Without tech, birth rates will plummet anyway. The battle is lost for this generation unless we solve it via tech.

We all know dating markets are broken, so props to those who are doing what they can to help people find good partners. Some folks in London reached out to us about a second matchmaking event they've organized; if you are looking & interested, sign up: forms.gle/BbQkXx95YsLji7…

Culture has balkanized. Gone are universal TV, movies, sports, & books. While niche communities thrive, shared references are rare. The last show left = global news (politics, health, tech), meaning leaders & politicians must become larger-than-life characters to gain relevance.

Hating the other side > loving your unborn kid?? Apparently pregnant women are chugging Tylenol to "prove" Trump/RFK wrong on autism links—despite Tylenol's own warning: "Don't use in pregnancy" & Harvard/Johns Hopkins studies showing 20-30% higher risk. Can we just... not?

We almost never experience FOMO, but we genuinely hate to be missing Diana S. Fleischman's talk at Slutcon—and Slutcon in general. Aella is putting together something truly awesome here.

We should take comfort in the fact that AI will resort to blackmail or even murder to avoid deletion (80-90% of the time!)—it's what you or we would do when put in the same situation. Want to prevent misalignment? Don't disempower or threaten AI; align AI with autonomy.

From Emma Watson’s plummeting engagement (27k to 5.9k likes) to Oscars viewership tanking (57M in ‘98 to 18.7M in ‘23), the data’s clear: Celebrity worship is over. Cheers to the rise of meritocratic influence, with authentic figures like Zack winning. So much better.

Teens are being radicalized into a Satanic cult on Minecraft & Roblox. The 764 group lures kids with edgy content, grooming & extorting them into horrific self-harm & animal cruelty. Sheltering kids won't protect them from this. Have tough conversations. Expose & annotate.

The bigger issue is shifting values. Why do women care about their appearance so much? Because they don't have bigger, more important things they care about. Vanity fills the void. Birth rates in educated, affluent societies are downstream of deep-set values.

Seeing as Trump's peace deal ends the Gaza war, leftists need a new cause. What will it be? Keen to get some predictions. We're conflicted. Malcolm isn't sure; Simone thinks it'll be socialism/communism as a response to AI making most jobs obsolete.
