An Intriguing Escalation

The IDF is bombing banks in Lebanon: The Israeli military launched airstrikes on branches of a bank in Lebanon that the U.S. and Israel have linked to Hezbollah, escalating its military campaign to strike institutions that are part of the group’s far-reaching network of economic and social influence. The Israeli air force hit branches of […]

On the Phenomenon of Male Flight

Martin van Creveld has pointed out the phenomenon of male flight from education and entire professions, repeatedly, for decades. But only now that the higher education system is on the point of complete collapse is anyone else beginning to recognize that it poses a very real and serious problem: This points to the underlying flaw […]

Are they admitting they're just making shit up?

"If you want your society to produce transcendent excellence in a given field, the only way to do so is to attach a competitive male status hierarchy to it. With status on the line, men will throw themselves into the arena, immersing themselves completely, devoting their every waking moment to mastering a skill or subject, making it their life’s purpose to push a discipline beyond its limits. Competitive pressures between the best of the best then raises performance to its apogee. Iron sharpens iron.

"Conversely, if you want reliable mediocrity, then you want women’s work. Women don’t have the same sexual incentive to compete with one another in performance, and so, by and large, don’t (they compete in other ways). Their instinct is to perform to a perfectly acceptable standard, but not, in general, to push themselves to exceed it."

"A sociologist studying gender in veterinary schools, Dr. Anne Lincoln says that in an attempt to describe this drastic drop in male enrollment, many keep pointing to financial reasons like the debt-to-income ratio or the high cost of schooling.

"But Lincoln’s research found that “men and women are equally affected by tuition and salaries.”

"Her research shows that the reason fewer men are enrolling in veterinary school boils down to one factor: the number of women in the classroom."

Amazon Goes Nuclear, to Invest More than $500 Million to Develop Small Modular Reactors

"In order to deconstruct the narrative of Canadian mythology—which implies widely believed garbage about the indigenous tribes that they were an egalitarian, racially monolithic, ethnic, and cultural group who "formed a country" that Europeans "emigrated" to, then "took over" and "stole," while immigrants are "just as Canadian" despite "living on stolen land")—we must identify the two juggernaut ethnolinguistic groups in the East. These groups are the Iroquoian and Algonquian. Both were present and reasonably populated during European arrival. These groups were ancient, visceral enemies, with a rivalry dating back an unknown number of centuries. Let's start with the most egregious."

Six top Alzheimer's researchers accused of fraud
Article, Comments

Today, in an attempt to seize the Archangel Michael Cathedral in Cherkassy in Ukraine, about 100 unidentified people in military uniform took part, smashing doors, windows, and video surveillance cameras. According to the information we have received, the police actively assisted them in this.

As a result, the funds collected by parishioners for the bell in the amount of about 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand UAH were stolen from the Cathedral, as well as the vestments of the bishop, panagia with parts of relics, crosses, icons, and much more.

At the moment the raiders have started to storm the Orthodox cathedral again.

In the Ukrainian media, the situation is presented with the following commentary:

"In Cherkassy, supporters of the Moscow Patriarchate are storming the largest Orthodox church in Ukraine, which has been transferred to the Kiev Patriarchate"


Things are too bad at the front for the AFU. The attempt to redirect the information flow in the other direction has succeeded.

Zelensky flew out this morning on another begging voyage to Brussels.
He will wave his "peace plan", which has already managed to make half the planet laugh and complain that Russia is even taking away churches from Ukraine.

For anybody who cares, my food science lab tested recycled aluminum foil vs. new (virgin) aluminum foil and found out something shocking. Given how some foods cooked in these foils (like tomato sauce) can ionize metals out of the foil, these metals can be absorbed into the foods. Here's the finding: RECYCLED aluminum foil has much higher levels of LEAD, CADMIUM and other toxic elements, compared to new foil. Unless you like eating lead, buy new aluminum foil. Except for lead in car batteries, recycling is largely a huge fail.

Why Africa Supports BRICS

While the West has mostly focused on the increased Chinese influence in Africa, it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire continent embraced the BRICS system due to the West’s attempt to protect the pro-Western post-colonial regimes: Speaking on the sidelines of the BRICS Business Forum in Moscow, which was held on October 17-18, Mantula highlighted […]
