In the grand scheme of things, sneaking into a bar underage to drink beer with your friends and talk to girls is a more wholesome activity than staying home to smoke weed, watch porn, put money on prop bets in an NBA game, and indulge in all the other vices our age encourages.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.

Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.

Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.

Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.

And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.

Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.

Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.

Imagine your grandmother, filled with love, brings you cookies in the 1990s/2000s and all you can think is that she’s some kind of slave to your grandfather.

This is the kind of mental illness feminism creates.

“Conservatives are dangerous”
“They’re a threat”
“They’re destroying democracy”
“They’re dangerous”
“They’re a threat”
“They’re Nazis”
“They’re Hitlers”
“They’re an existential threat!”

“why would someone do something like this?!”

[Michael McCarthy @punishablepress]

This is the difference.

A white man restrains a black man acting erratic and aggressive, there's national outrage.

A black man brutally stabs a quite white girl minding her own business, there's no national outrage.

If we didn't have X, would we even know about this?

He immediately gets on the internet and blames Republicans for a shooting that occurred in a Democrat city, in a Democrat state, and was committed by person who became mentally ill because of the gender ideology that Democrats supports.

America is such a wealthy country that a coffee trailer owner can buy all of her supplies at consumer markup, open at 9am, and still earn enough to keep the whole venture solvent. The streets are paved with gold.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Every trans person is dangerously delusional. They are all mentally sick and doctors should be legally barred from affirming their mental illness in any way. Adult or child. Everyone knows it. Now innocent children are dying because so many people were too cowardly to speak up.

[Rich 🐺 @heywildrich]

If you have lived in the USA for a while (you can remember the 90s), you remember when it was first-world.

it's now a second-world country. to us, that's a huge downgrade.

to all the third-worlders, it's a huge upgrade.

we cannot forget this. it means nothing to them.

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

Holy crap.

Federal investigators administered an English Language Proficiency assessment to the driver of the semi who killed 3 people in Florida .

He “provided correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identified 1-4 highway traffic signs.”
