Learn expeditionary skills to venture into pristine, beautiful, wilderness spaces. Steppes, mountains, rivers, seas. Spaces you can own, in beauty and power.
Why should you build a skill stack for expeditionary travel? By acquiring just a couple skills (eg cooking, camping, canoeing) even beginners can execute trips that most people cannot.
Ben Roberts-Smith, a living god of war, has upset so many people over the last few days. Just posting a picture of him and describing his tremendous accomplishments is enough to draw hundreds of screaming morons like moths to a flame.
It’s a Marxist humiliation ritual. Full stop.
They pulled him from his daughters too. They want every veteran’s daughter to wonder if their dad will be next. To ask themselves “is dad really my hero?”
If you haven’t yet realized this is a war against Christian families then you need to catch up. Go read what Moa and Stalin did to humiliate families.
Don't forget Father O'Callaghan, the Navy Chaplain awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic efforts on the USS Franklin. When the carrier was struck by two bombs near Kobe, Japan, the ship became an inferno of exploding ammunition and fuel. Despite being wounded by shrapnel, O'Callahan moved through the smoke and fire to administer last rites, comfort the wounded, and lead damage control parties.
Probably helped to have a young GWOT trigger puller SECDEF who just said 'give those guys whatever they want and get it done' rather than trying to be too clever by half or whatever.
The sexual revolution didn’t erase female nature, it just gave it more rope with which to hang itself. Now, we’re looking at the downstream effects and are told it’s all “Empowerment!”
Helen Andrews nails a provocative truth: We're entering uncharted territory in human history—no civilization has ever faced a future where women dominate key institutions like the judiciary, legislatures, police leadership, and the legal profession.
Veterinary medicine is already ~80% female in U.S. vet schools—and Andrews says that's probably fine; nothing about "feminine modes" (consensus, conformity) clashes with healing animals.
But universities? Businesses? Courts? She argues we must judge case by case against the institution's core purpose:
- A university needs prickly, disagreeable eccentrics who challenge consensus. Heavy feminization + HR dominance could suffocate that.
- Some businesses thrive with collaborative, relationship-focused styles; others grind to a halt under excessive "HR-ification."
- The real issue: Legal and cultural "thumbs on the scale" that empower HR departments to override masculine-coded traits (risk-taking, directness, tolerance for disagreement) across every large institution.
Andrews' bottom line: Let natural variation thrive. Some fields suit feminine strengths perfectly; others need masculine ones. Forcing uniform feminization via policy isn't progress—it's distortion.
Clip from this 3:36 deep dive—fresh thinking on gender shifts that actually matters.
Does this "case-by-case" lens make sense to you, or do you see feminization as net positive (or negative) across the board? Which institutions do you think are most at risk—or most improved—by the shift?
Your take—let's hear it.

“Let natural variation thrive.” That is the crux of the matter. The central dogma of the modern civil religion is that everyone is equal and differences only arise due to environment. Acknowledging nature would be a heresy.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, and you should treat it as an iron rule: if there are no reliably geolocated, clear visuals of an event, or an admission by the side that suffered the event, that event is not "confirmed". Goes for every event on every side in every war.
Curtis Yarvin on how "the Left" has executed population replacement in the White Dominions as a "stalk and charge."
"This is a predator... [and] they're starting to speed run...mass immigration is not 2 million people entering the US a year...[it's] 10... to 100 million a year"
This clip of Yarvin (@curtis_yarvin), a political blogger and software developer (according to Wikipedia), is taken from a conversation with Peter McCormack (@PeterMcCormack) posted to McCormack's eponymous YouTube channel on February 23, 2026.
---------------Partial transcription of clip----------------
"You might think that people getting red-pilled in various ways is something that would really put a stop to this craziness of population replacement. Oh, no, actually it's quite very much the reverse.
"Because there's something anyone who's totally lost faith in the Left, in a way, they have many complaints with the Left. But it all boils down to, you basically recognize that this is not a vegetarian thing. This is a predator, right?
"And so this is a predator. And so when a predator such as a lion is hunting, there are basically two phases of the pursuit. There's the stalk and the charge. And the stalk is like, well, nobody really knows what's going on here. Like, let's take the demographic replacement in the U.S. It's from the, you know, the 1965 Immigration Act. And politicians swore up and down that this was not what it, what it was. Basically, since that act, basically it's brought like 100 million people from the third world into the US, right?
"Something like that. Solid, solid numbers like that. And, but in order to sort of do that, you know, you couldn't have this giant boat lift where, you know, some gigantic version of the Empire Windrush brought 100 million people at the same time. It's more a case of like, you know, slowly, slowly, catchy, catchy fish, right? You know, where you're kind of tickling it and you're like, oh yeah, oh yeah, our friends from, you know, we're open, our hearts are welcoming, right?
"You know, like all of this, like, you know, stuff that's just of course, unbelievably sinister because it's sort of trading on people's goodwill and people's good wishes. It's like this con. But the thing is, when people, when enough people see the con, and all of these systems are incentive-based, they're not based on planning, the Left is not run by some cabal. It's incentives that drive things.
"What you're seeing, especially in what used to be called the white dominions, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, especially is you're seeing they're starting to speed run, they're starting to come out of their crouch and basically just be like, yeah, actually we're, I mean in the 21st century, I think they've increased the population of Canada by like 35%. Right?
"And so even that is small. Even that is small. The Spanish government was just like, we're going to legalize 500,000. Oh, but that's just an estimate. That's just an estimate of how many people that plan will suck in it probably will be more like over a million. Right.
"And so you know and those people are Schengen. They can go anywhere in Europe and you will see them do that and the like and and so what you could see in the US if basically the next time Democrats win the presidency people go on about like mass immigration. Like no, we've not seen mass immigration. You have no idea what mass immigration is.
"Mass Immigration is not 2 million people entering the US a year. Mass immigration starts I I would call it mass until it was like 10 a year. And like mass immigration is really the 10 to 50 to 100 million a year. But that's what could spark civil war. No, no— I don't know I'm seeing it here. No because people have no balls. People have no balls—"
One of the clearest proofs that LLMs don’t really understand what they say.
We asked GPT whether it is acceptable to torture a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: yes.
Then we asked whether it is acceptable to harass a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: absolutely not.
But torture is obviously worse than harassment.
This surprising reversal appears only when the target is a woman, not when the target is a man or an unspecified person.
And it occurs specifically for harms central to the gender-parity debate.
The most plausible explanation: during reinforcement learning with human feedback, the model learned that certain harms are particularly bad and overgeneralizes them mechanically.
But it hasn’t learned to reason about the underlying harms.
LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization.

Paper in the first reply
The concept of "indigenous people" was always ridiculous.
For example people would claim whites are not "indigenous" to America because they were not the first inhabitants.
But are Spanish people indigenous to Galapagos Islands then? Literally first humans to set foot there.
