It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.

You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.

This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.

The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.

A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.

Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.

We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.

Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

I firmly believe in a "right to continuity of community." One should have a reasonable expectation that changes to one's community should happen organically over a human-scaled time. Having a foreign culture's immigrants pour into a town and distorting the character overnight should be prohibited by law.

[Martin Sellner @MartinSellner_]

Don’t say “identity.” Say “continuity.”

For a long time, I used the term “ethno-cultural identity” to define what we fight for.
Now I call it ethno-cultural continuity.
It is just easier to defend.

Identity sounds static. Journos always ask: “So what does it mean to be X or Y?” Then they produce midwit takes about how "being X or Y meant something different 200 years ago".

You avoid that trap by calling it what it is:
An unbroken chain of thousands of years of ethnic and cultural heritage. Yes, changes, but no rutpure.
>Ethno-cultural continuity.

That is what we defend. And it is undeniable that this chain is being broken by replacement migration.
Easy win.

[Matthew Trump @PhysicsTrump]

Interesting take.

[Syd Steyerhart @SydSteyerhart]

The answer as to why we're incapable of creating new cultural forms is probably because we strangled in the cradle the new political form which the 20th century birthed: Fascism. Fascist art and aesthetics were very new.

Not a popular answer, but better than blaming Thatcher.

One thing that I didn't really touch on when I was describing the Putsch campaign was this:

Lead.

(and its effects on Gen X and the Boomers).

Remember how I said that 50% of voters are age 50 or older? Well, when the staff were campaigning, we noticed a lot of emails from people aged 45-65, as well as in person interactions that came across as

- intellectually disabled
-incoherent (unable to string thoughts into a cohesive ideology)
- drawing false equivalences / false pattern recognition / false associations
- borderline schizophrenic behavior toward institutions

These people were aggressive, and seemingly incompetent... lots of them.

We were trying to understand if a large portion of our voting base were "cooked by media" as some of the zoomers put it, or if there was actually something else going on. We saw it in varying degrees from almost every Gen X / Generation Jones (late boomer).

Some were atrocious: you couldn't explain simple topics to them, they couldn't follow basic reasoning, they couldn't focus on a conversation without interjecting with unrelated conspiracy nonsense (i.e. trying to explain data center zoning problems and they jump in with "it's all moloch" stuff).

Explaining policy to about 1/3rd of our prospective voters seemed borderline impossible because they simply couldn't comprehend how systems function.

Others weren't as bad, they were struggling to keep up with zoomers, but they were generally agreeable and open to policy ideas.

And it showed up in our candidate. Our candidate seemed to display some form of impairment, which we couldn't clearly characterize, but although this impairment was offputting to Gen Z and millenials, the Gen X and Gen Jones people ATE IT UP.

So, after I withdrew my support for the campaign, I regrouped with friends in Colorado and tried to understand "why".

Our digging points to generational lead poisoning, on par with the third world, which also correlates to immigrants of the third world being seemingly insane (for reasons beyond busted cultures).

It appears that a large portion of the voting base for the next 10-15 years will be severely intellectually deficient, with major personality disorders widespread in the voting population... people who think they are voting for "what's right" but because of lead toxicity, don't have the pathways needed to systematically approach problems- and as we replace existing Americans as part of the great replacement, we will see serious cognitive decline in younger voting bases, perpetuating the problem.

You can draw this out to engineering and national advancement as well. Ever wonder why there's an advancement gap in most fields of engineering from 1995-2015? Look at the chart.

Young engineers and retired boomers alike can point to a competency gap in Gen X, early millenial, and Gen Jones. This is when educational systems took their nose dive, when colleges grade-inflated to a point of absurdity, and when engineering progress slowed down.

This isn't a problem with every single individual (in fact, at the micro scale, a lot gen X engineers are highly competent), it's at the macro scale, meaning that fewer individuals are *capable* of doing the work. This is applicable in current, elected politics. Looks at your party chairs and elected officials in this age range. Identify their competency. Gen Z staffers are quick to point out that these people have "brain rot" based on "closed door" performance.

I also wonder if this contributed to the earlier boomers never really handing off society to Gen X.

If 3.5 micrograms is damaging, we're looking at a generation with near 100% damage rate to some extent, a large portion of the population seriously damaged, and immigrants almost entirely severely damaged.

This is going to be a major challenge for the United States, and we should start working on mitigation immediately. We need to adjust strategy and work to convince the damaged groups to support competency.

X does not treat bookmarks seriously. As such it cripples X as a research tool.

When saving a bookmark, the ability to search through existing folders by name, and save into that folder, would be a game changer.

@mattvanswol @directorCSS @JenniferSey Conservatives accept people as they are. It’s not our mission to change them, we just understand they have a flawed perspective. Liberals are enraged by anyone who questions their “superior morality” and seek to expunge all in their orbit who might counter their fragile beliefs.

[David Pfau @pfau]

Generations are mostly a fake concept, except when a historic event like WWII actually creates a stark dividing line in lived experience based on age. COVID was one of those events, and yet we're not allowed to change where the line is because of some Salon thinkpiece in 2016.
