This is a double edged sword—the female domain has been abandoned due to it lacking a reasonable place in our overarching hierarchy.

Academia is women’s work now.

That spells it’s doom.

A 🧵 about status arenas, male flight, why dudes rock, and the death spiral of academia.

Är det sant att SD vill förbjuda slöja eller är det hittepå? Försöker läsa i flödet men det är bara infantil metadebatt överallt…

The year is 1949.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine has just gone to the man who invented the lobotomy. Your doctor suggests one for your sister, who has not been herself since the baby came. It is the most celebrated advance in psychiatry of the age, and he is simply current. By the time the prize curdles into an embarrassment, close to twenty thousand Americans have had the operation, and proportionally more here in Britain.

The year is 1956.

Lay the baby down on his front, the doctor says. So does the most trusted childcare book ever written, the one on every new mother's shelf. On his back he might choke, the reasoning goes. Millions obey. The advice holds for nearly thirty years, long after the evidence has quietly turned, and a generation of cot deaths is counted before anyone thinks to roll the babies over.

The year is 1966.

A bestselling book informs your wife that menopause is a disease, that she is, in the author's word, a castrate, and that a small daily pill will keep her youthful and tolerable to live with. Her doctor agrees. The drug becomes one of the most prescribed in the country. Nobody mentions that the author sat on the payroll of the company that made it. That detail surfaces decades later, in the same year the landmark trial is halted early for raising rates of breast cancer, stroke and clots.

The year is 1979.

Your ulcer is caused by stress and sharp food, the doctor explains. Calm down, drink milk, take the antacid that happens to be the best-selling medicine on earth. Two Australians are about to prove that most ulcers are caused by a bacterium and cured by a fortnight of antibiotics. The profession laughs. One of them eventually drinks a beaker of the stuff to settle the matter. The establishment takes the better part of twenty years to stop laughing. The Nobel lands in 2005.

The year is 1985.

Butter is dangerous, the doctor says. Switch to margarine, it is modern, it is heart-healthy, the experts are united. The spread he nudges you toward is loaded with trans fats, which the next decade will identify as the genuinely dangerous one, and which will eventually be banned outright. The butter goes quietly back in the fridge. No correction is ever printed at the volume of the original warning.

The year is 1992.

There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one in your grandchild's classroom. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta form the broad virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day. Fat is exiled to the tiny tip. The chart was reportedly held back a year while the relevant industries had their say. It is wrong at the bottom and wrong at the top.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines, new studies, a fresh consensus, delivered with precisely the steady confidence of every guideline above. He believes it, and he has good reason to. So did every doctor in this thread. None of them were villains. Each was sincere, most were kind, and all were certain, reading from a map that somebody else had drawn and handed them. That is the part worth sitting with.

So when the man in the white coat tells you what to eat, what to fear, and what to swallow every morning for the rest of your life, you are allowed to ask. Who paid for the study. What the evidence says beneath the headline. What he was just as certain about thirty years ago, and where that advice sits now.

Then make up your own mind. Call it scepticism, or call it whatever your grandmother called it when she ignored the advert, kept the butter where it was, and lived to ninety-one.

It has outlasted every consensus on this list. It will outlast this one too.

@elonmusk I enjoyed @nancykress description of what will happen the sci-fi Beggars in Spain

@pikeypilled Peat has said in a podcast on fertility and female health that the cut off is 8 children. Maybe it differs between populations.

I actively cataloged some of the worst behavior during 2020's cultural revolution.

Here's a round-up of 25 egregious firings, investigations, and excesses from 2020, so you can remember just how bad things got.

The first two or so minutes of Sam Hyde’s new video is probably the most powerful video content ever posted on this site. Not a single word of this superfluous. If you haven’t watched the full video, watch it now.

[HWL @HWLinvest]

Undrar du varför allt plötsligt blivit så dyrt?
Varför maten kostar mer, hyran pressar dig och lönen inte räcker längre?

Det började under pandemin.
Mellan 2020 och 2021 tryckte Riksbanken ut 900 miljarder nya kronor - pengar som inte fanns innan.
Man köpte obligationer, pumpade ut likviditet och expanderade penningmängden i rekordfart.
Det var inget normalt drag. Det var ett historiskt experiment.

På mindre än två år ökade penningmängden så mycket att var fjärde krona i dagens ekonomi är skapad efter 2020. Men mängden varor och tjänster i samhället var densamma - det fanns bara fler kronor som jagade samma saker.

Resultatet? Inflation.

Priserna exploderade.
Kronan försvagades.
Räntorna rusade.
Vanliga löner stod still.
Dina sparpengar tappade värde - varje dag.

Exempel:
En liter mjölk kostade 9 kr 2019. Nu kostar den 16.
Inte för att mjölken blivit bättre - utan för att pengarna blivit sämre.

De tryckte pengar.
Du blev fattigare.

Och de som orsakade detta?
De låtsas som ingenting.
Inget ansvar. Inga frågor. Inga förklaringar.
Bara tystnad - och notan i ditt knä.

Quick UK rundown:

The housing crisis is caused by immigration. Many natives will never own their own home.

You are overtaxed and the money is being used to house foreigners who hate us and to support people who are perfectly capable of supporting themselves

Women and children are being r*ped by migrants and if you try to protest irl then the state will arrest you and enable communist terrorists to oppose you.

If you complain online then you can be arrested and the online harms bill can be used to censor and restrict public access to relevant news.

If you follow the native religion of the English, then you will be demonised by state adjacent media nodes like The Times and monitored by intelligence.

However, the state is losing all legitimacy and is thrashing violently in its death throes to suppress the natives who are increasingly aware of the situation. Change is coming.

@hubermanlab I’m sure they know about the Nordic countries and their extreme politics when it comes to bridging the gaps. A take on the policies is welcome.

@Gab__AI Why are you a communist

@Sargon_of_Akkad I’m sure everyone who met crusaders were ever grateful for the honorable behaviors. And also thanks to the English for their kind behavior in Germany post ww2. 😂

@IterIntellectus @elonmusk Please read more source material and compare to any history book

@XStrangeHistory @Nero Milo’s gayness always felt more like a schtick. And/or the kind of gayness you get when you have OCD and hate your mother for a prolonged period of time. If he stops hating women like that maybe he could love them properly.
