Lars Jonung et al. "Swedens relative growth over 170 years. A drama in three acts": "The role of economic freedom for growth". Swedens Democratic Socialist experiment in 1970-80s cut growth 1/3. Had Sweden not done it, it'd be richer than Switzerland. https://t.co/skLEiIcTAH

@Hitchslap1 @davidbessis Thanks to Malcolm Gladwell that bastardized Anders Ericsson research (10,000 hour rule). The 10,000 hour was after you have proven to have talent (merit), not applicable to anyone without underlying talent (merit) by practice become anything they want.

The ethnicity most likely to be on welfare in each country.

USA: Somalia #1
Denmark: Somalia #1
Netherlands: Somalia #1
Norway: Somalia #1
Finland: Somalia #1
Sweden: Somalia #1

Somalis are most likely to be on welfare and are responsible for the highest crime rates per captia.

@OlofFlodin Inte enligt forskning. De med med minst fördomaroch trångsynta är Midwits. De med mycket hög och mycket låg utbildning har lika mycket bias, trångsynthet men om olika saker, grupper. Din tweet här om SD är ett typexempel på trångsynthet. Mp bias kring demokrati, miljö, och kön.

@ArashGilan @dagensindustri Jag började läsa engelska böcker som 8 åring, Sherlock Holmes (förenklad). I 6:an började jag tänka parallellt på svenska och engelska. Drömmer på engelska sedan sena tonåren.

@HistoryBoomer The issue here is the double standard, calling Elon Musk a nazi for his hand gesture, calling Trump and MAGA supporters nazi on spurious grounds. Then excusing someones real flirt with nazism as youthful follies. (I don't know if you personally called Musk, Trump or MAGA nazis)

No wonder women believe in the tropes:
"There is no difference between men and women!"
"The earth will end in 10 years!"
"Thousands of unarmed black men are killed by the police yearly!"
"Trump is a fascist!"
"Hate Speech should be illegal!"
"Words are violence!"

@gunnarssonhanna @stakmaskin Expo hänger ut högerextrema och de de anser lierar sig med dessa. Alona och Assarsson hänger ut vänsterextrema. Det Expo gör ses som föredömligt men när Alina gör det är det förkastligt. Dubbelmoral!

yeah, you can really feel the love radiating off these girls who had their titles stolen by a boy.

look at their faces. they look like they're being led to gulag while the dude who tucks is vamping in the middle of it and eating it up.

it's amazing LAT cannot see the obvious story this picture tells.

these girls are the victims. their "victim" is their oppressor.

Re Covid, BLM and trans: "an entire generation of vaunted intellectuals is hereby discredited, revealed as sycophants, and otherwise exposed as having chosen the comforts of social position and financial stability over truth."

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Why I've lost trust in most all intellectuals and the institutions that purport to represent them: they have had almost nothing to say (except by way of support) of the entire Covid response.

I just cannot take these people seriously now or ever. This goes for many supposedly great minds I once respected.

It should be obvious by now that this was and is probably the most important shift in the historical narrative In decades if not hundreds of years.

Why the silence about the following?

* A entire generation was denied actual eduction
* The response showed public would mostly believe any absurdity, even that masks were protective against microbial infection and that standing far apart from people was the key to health
* Governments canceled religious holidays with two thousands years of tradition and got away with it
* A grass-roots movement would rise up among us to defend and enforce preposterous claims including that hiding under the sofa would cause a respiratory infection to go away
* Governments the world over learned that they could perhaps spend without limit, run up debt, and inflate away the obligations
* Industry realized there were far more profits in panic and mandates than in normal marketing
* The ruling class discerned that they could get away with endless abuse of the people provided it was pushed as public health
* The vaccine industry realized that no lie was beyond plausibility even when they were caught and even when their product caused vast injury and death
* Media was revealed to be nothing other than a deep-state megaphone
* Academia proved itself to be mostly useless

Any actual intellectual worth his salt would have been sounding alarms throughout this amazing fiasco. Some have. Very few, mostly associated with new institutions that are displacing the old failed establishment. Legacy thinkers have generally pretended that none of this happened.

Remember these days: an entire generation of vaunted intellectuals is hereby discredited, revealed as sycophants, and otherwise exposed as having chosen the comforts of social position and financial stability over truth.
