Exploring different ideas & how they fit together

The rewriting of history begins.

Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos.

I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others.

By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK's leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok.

Lest we forget, gender apostates have been targeted for crimes such as doubting the evidential basis for transitioning children, for arguing for fair sport for women and girls, for wanting to retain single sex spaces and services, especially for the most vulnerable, and for thinking it barbaric to lock in female prisoners with convicted male sex offenders.

Now the political landscape has shifted, and some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover. They've started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centres 'Nazis' was such a smart strategy. Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says 'I'm a woman' into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all?

Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand. I don't doubt those who've turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimise what the true cost of speaking out was, but 'yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times' takes are frankly insulting. A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet.

Europe is dying out.

Birthrates are rapidly collapsing. Government incentives aren't working.

By 2100, Europe will have lost 117 million people.

Here's why Europe's population is imploding (and what it means for the world) 🧵:

Andy Weir's short story, The Egg, is one of the most mind-blowing things you will ever read.

Do yourself a favor and find 10 minutes to enjoy it.

The Northern Hemisphere's Energy Imbalance.

The most important @NASA data you've never heard about.

The northern half of our planet started to absorb much more heat from the sun than it radiates to space.

On TikTok there is AdjusterTok, where work from home insurance agents video their side of calls explaining how car insurance works to irritated people, and it’s quite sobering stuff. People don’t really know what insurance is, it’s just some magical thing to make stuff better.

this BBC interview with a guy outside the security perimeter who claims he saw the shooter before he fired is absolutely wild

@wolfejosh Is this report available publicly anywhere or only for your LPs with snippets posted here? I'd be very interested in reading it if it is (or older versions if they're published with a lag). Thx

[ExploringSynthesis @ExploringSynth1]

@lukeburgis Congrats Luke. Enjoy the special time.

@SteveSaretsky @profplum99 Does he see the same issues in the Canadian markets as he sees in the US? Or are they different? E.g., equities supported by passive, bonds show value relative to equities, TIPS are good value, unclear who is going to buy all the bonds that need to be issued to fund deficits. Thx

@dieworkwear Doesn't it depend on the the collar though? I think the King's knot looks well with his collar but the other looks better with a more cutaway collar. Agree that the second tie is nicer.

@wolfejosh You're a class act Josh. Great comments, thanks for sharing.

@dieworkwear Hey Derek, you show pictures of this man a lot; he's got great style. What's his name? I'd love to follow him on IG to get ideas. Thx
