Terence Tao gets a tiny taste of what the average American worker went through when we offshored all their factory jobs to China and imported 100M foreigners to take whatever jobs were left, and he immediately decides that all technological progress must cease and Heaven and Earth must move so that he can keep his job.

In fact he’s not even really getting a taste, since even after AI has made him useless, he will still be rich and famous. He will probably never turn to fentanyl or drink himself to death in despair of ever providing for his family.

A good reminder that the “elites” who destroyed this country are the most cowardly and self-centered people to ever exist.

Knoxville Symphony posted this rehearsal video of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, one of my favorite pieces to play. Gorgeous clarinet part with solos galore, wish I were playing it tonight like I should be.

But instead those solos will be played by the second-place finisher who got zero votes in the finals of their blind audition last fall, all because their CEO values “diversity” over merit and kicked me to the curb. Disgraceful.

DEI destroys everything it touches. Knoxville deserves better.

I am calling on various parts of the establishment to now ease off on their rhetoric about Restore Britain.

The Telegraph, Labour MPs, Farage, the Daily Mail, Lib Dems, the Guardian. Whoever.

It is putting our people at risk - directly leading to one being hospitalised for burns today, and endangering others.

Challenge our ideas, criticise our policies, debate us on our platform.

But to keep referring to our party as somehow 'nazi' or a whole other string of insults is evidently riling up these wild mobs.

Pushing for mass deportations is mainstream politics, backed by millions and millions of Brits. That is NOT 'nazism'.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, should be physically attacked in the street for peacefully campaigning.

This has to end.

Following my post outlining concerns that Dartford Grammar School for Girls has dropped from 52% white British to 7% in just ten years, the Labour leader of their council group has said I am "not welcome" in the town.

The Dartford Labour MP has described my concerns as "dangerous and divisive".

This is what happens.

Millions and millions of Brits are concerned about how their communities are rapidly changing.

Somebody openly discusses that, and the establishment attacks.

52% to 7% in ten years - with similar drops elsewhere.

This is an astonishing rate of change.

We are allowed to have concerns about how our communities are transforming.

I am not going to be bullied into silence.

The people of Dartford, and everywhere else, now have a political party willing to speak for them, and fight for them.

Restore Britain.

Whether Lindsay Clancy meets Massachusetts' legal definition of insanity is the least interesting part of this case to me. By far the most interesting, and disturbing, part is how people have reacted to it.

I understand that criminal responsibility matters legally, and that an insanity finding doesn't automatically mean someone goes free. MA allows continued psychiatric confinement when the legal requirements are met.

Personally, her mental state may change how I think she should be treated, it doesn't change how long I think she should remain confined after killing three children. Society needs protection whether someone knowingly does something horrific or is mentally unwell enough to do it without understanding it. I'm not going to relitigate every detail of her mental state here. That's not the point of this post.

The point is the line between understanding someone and excusing what they've done.

You can have empathy for anyone. Understanding the circumstances that led someone to do something terrible is human and natural. You can recognize their suffering without condoning what they did.

But with some of the reaction to this case, compassion became identification, identification became advocacy, and advocacy became exoneration.

There are people who identify so strongly with her that they appear to have decided upon her innocence first and then worked backwards on the facts of the case.

To be clear, wanting her to receive treatment or a fair trial isn't what I'm criticizing. Neither is believing, based on the evidence, that she wasn't criminally responsible. That's different from deciding she couldn't possibly have done it and inventing another story.

Further, when people say “the system failed her”... which system? And how?
She saw multiple mental health professionals. Patrick worked from home, and the family had hired a nanny in the months before the killings. This wasn't a situation where nobody was trying to help.
Does that prove her treatment was adequate?
No.
Both Lindsay and Patrick have filed lawsuits alleging failures in her medical care, including problems with diagnosis or medication. Those claims are disputed and should be evaluated on the evidence.
But that's exactly where the discussion needs to get specific. What did the system do wrong? What intervention was missing? What policy or treatment change do you believe could have prevented the deaths, and why?
For the people whose answer is always that she wasn't supported enough: at what point does she receive enough support that you're willing to consider her own responsibility?
The amount of support isn't a test of someone's mental capacity. But “she needed more support” isn't an answer to every question about responsibility either. I'm asking whether there is anything that would change your conclusion, or whether the blame will always move to someone else.
Even establishing that somebody else failed her wouldn't automatically settle the question of her responsibility. Those aren't mutually exclusive.

An explanation is not an excuse. Offering an excuse is not the same as establishing that someone wasn't responsible. And compassion is not exoneration.

Mental illness does not automatically mean the absence of agency. Illness and responsibility can occupy the same human being at the same time. Whether, and to what extent, they did here is something to establish from evidence, not identification.

And then there are the people claiming Patrick killed the children, despite Lindsay admitting that she strangled them. Her defense is about her mental state, not that Patrick did it. Even her own lawyer, Kevin Reddington, said on September 9, discussing the conspiracy theories about Patrick: “She knew that it was just terrible what he was going through.” So some people are constructing a version of events that the woman they're defending isn't even claiming.

How does someone get so invested in sympathizing with her that they’re willing to accuse the father who lost his three children, without evidence?
I find that morally repugnant.

Sympathy for her does not entitle one to rewrite what happened or invent guilt for someone else.
And yes, most of the people I'm seeing do this are women. That makes me question how much of this is compassion for mental illness, and how much is identifying with her so strongly that acknowledging what she did becomes uncomfortable.

Supporting women cannot mean refusing to acknowledge what a particular woman did. And identifying with someone's experience cannot become a reason to apply a different standard to them.

If women truly want respect and equality, then they need to adopt another thing men learn early in their life: responsibility for their actions.

Consider the reverse.
A father kills his three children. His defense argues that he was experiencing psychosis and the same degree of impaired understanding or control alleged here.

Would you extend the same compassion? Would you be as determined to defend him? Would you entertain baseless theories that his wife did it, despite his own admission?

These are genuine questions. If your answer changes depending on whether it's a mother or a father, then ask yourself what principle you're actually defending.

Let me go ahead and give my answer, that there is precisely zero chance a man would have ever received that kind of support for the atrocities he committed.

Regardless of how good or bad a husband & father Patrick was, he is a victim too. He lost all three of his children. And acknowledging that Lindsay may have suffered terribly does not change the basic moral reality of what happened here.

The 3 kids: Cora, Dawson & Callan are the ones whose lives were taken.
Their mother strangled them.

One by one.

The last thing they saw was their mother's twisted face choking them before they fell unconscious.

That fact isn't in dispute, whatever the eventual legal conclusion about her responsibility.
I find it disturbing how easily the discussion can become about everyone except them.

You can understand someone without condoning what they've done. You can care about mental illness without making excuses for baseless accusations against somebody else. And you can feel compassion for Lindsay without turning her into the central victim of what happened, nay what she did, to her children.

I cannot condone what Lindsay did. It’s a repugnant and evil act. It’s antithetical to the very nature of motherhood & parenthood. And I am appalled at the way society is responding to this.

The children should not become a footnote in the story of the person who killed them.
