[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

With regard to "Judeo Christian":

The 10 Commandments are Jewish.

The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish.

The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery.

The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy.

The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West.

This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable.

And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term:

Christ Himself was a Jew.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:

Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.

A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.

Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.

“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.

This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@KonstantinKisin Well done - I’d love to see you debate @ComicDaveSmith . You both make very strong arguments

@lexfridman @realDonaldTrump How does he plan to step up as a leader, unify this nation and make amends with the people who are hurt on the left?

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Plato famously tells us of prisoners chained in a cave, unable to move their bodies, looking at a blank wall. Behind them are puppeteers holding up puppets and a fire. The prisoners can’t see the puppeteers, or the puppets, or the fire. What the prisoners see are conjured shadows on the wall. And the prisoners mistake those shadows for life, for reality, for truth.

This old story speaks to us now.

It describes the way the media projects a distorted shadow of reality onto our televisions and computer screens. It describes the way politicians from the two parties distort fellow Americans into black-and-white abstractions and hate-objects.

America, we need to escape this captivity. We need to leave the cave. We can no longer mistake shadows for the truth.

Outside the cave there are sobering problems, yes, but there are also rivers and trees and sunlight. And fellow human beings. And a beautiful nation. #Kennedy24

A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED.

2023.10.01.

Even if I was fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for resisting the greatest pressure I have ever seen, including pressure from spouse, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.

People who have been able to characterize such personality, courage and such critical abilities certainly embody the best characteristics of humanity.

They are everywhere, of all ages, education levels, countries and views.

They are a special kind; these are the warriors that any army of Light would like to have in their ranks.

These are the parents that every child wishes to have and the children that every parent dreams of having.

You are made of the greatest people to ever live, those heroes born among ordinary people and glow in the dark.

They are beings beyond the average of their societies;

They are the essence of nations that created all cultures and conquered horizons.

They did what others couldn't, they were the tree that withstood the storm of abuse, discrimination and social separation.

They did it because they thought they were lonely and believed they were the only ones.

They were banned from sitting at their family tables at Christmas, but they had never seen anything so cruel.

They lost their jobs, lost their careers, they were out of money...
but they didn't care.

They have experienced unmeasurable discrimination, condemnation, betrayal and humiliation... but they did not stop.

There has never been such a selection in Humanity - now we know who is the best on Planet Earth.

Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, people of various races and religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen ones of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to stand when it all fell apart.

It is YOU, You passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, commanders, green berets, astronauts and geniuses could not.

You are made of heroes who ever lived,
heroes born among ordinary people and shine in the dark.

Despite years of pressure campaigns, discriminatory policies, social separation, loss of income, threats and death accusations, French General Christian Blanchon thanked the "unvaccinated" for their strength, courage and leadership.
