Here’s what happens when a field gets ideologically captured:
The jobs go to apparatchiks and professorships are properly understood as sinecures.
Oh, you would like your professors and social science and humanities departments to be generative and produce knowledge?
Mmm, no, sorry. You were defeated. So naive. What did you think the implications of losing would actually entail?
The idea that all kids have equal potential is wrong.
When I was in 2nd Grade or so, we all took mandatory aptitude tests that were sent to Iowa for grading.
When I stumbled upon my results two years ago I was stunned by how accurate it turned out to be through my entire life.
It accurately captured my strengths and weaknesses. You could have accurately guessed my ultimate career just from these scores.
Identifying a child’s potential is really quite simple. We’ve had that down to a science for decades. We just refuse to accept there are some who are not cut out for certain things. We insist that everyone can be whatever they put their mind to, and it simply isn’t true.

What is happening to our country, man
Typical boomer nutter living in a world of magic and make believe while collecting a fat civil service pension subsidized by a faltering Canadian manufacturing sector and the nation’s #1 wealth generator - O&G industry that her green demands are crippling
Ethno-nationalists have been proven right yet again ----------- teams created with black immigrants who don't value Western nations other than as opportunities for black self-promotion have been defeated by majority white teams. We don't need migrants!
the german system where they identify early which kids are gonna be aerospace engineers and which kids are gonna be ditch diggers and separate them into different schools that better suit their aptitude or lack thereof is an infinitely better system than "no child left behind"
🚨 BREAKING: Police have arrested a man for threatening to murder Nigel Farage on X
The suspect described himself as a terrorist and warned Farage: "I am going to shoot you in the head if you win"
This is heartbreaking.
In 1996, 16-year-old Travis Lewis murdered Martha McKay’s mother, Sally, and her cousin inside their historic Arkansas home.
Instead of rage, Martha chose radical forgiveness. She visited Lewis in prison for years, wrote letters, and advocated for his parole. In 2018, after 22 years behind bars, he was released—with Martha’s support. She even gave him a job… on the same family estate where he had killed her mother.
Then, in March 2020, Lewis stole from her, lost the job, broke back into the house, and murdered 63-year-old Martha— in the exact same room where her mother died 24 years earlier.
You can’t rehabilitate murderers.
As Canada’s demographics have gotten substantially worse over the last decade, it’s been interesting to see the emergence of a new professional archetype. The Reliable White Guy ™️.
He has become a role across all service sector and white collar industries. You can find him in environments where half or more of the staff are foreign.
The Reliable White Guy ™️ is thorough, conscientious, takes his work seriously enough that it stands out compared to many of his colleagues, and often goes beyond his role. Canadians and even foreigners, will tag him if they have a serious problem that needs solving.
He knows everything there is to know about his specific role and if he doesn’t, he’ll figure it out on the spot. You all know and have seen the Reliable White Guy ™️ in everything from grocery stores, to bankers, to call centres, the telecoms kiosk.
Canadian seniors flock to him like moths to a lightbulb, as are foreigners self aware or cynical enough not to trust their own with whatever it is. Women of all ages defer to him when they’re overwhelmed. People feel relieved after the service he provides.
He does enough to keep most things running that is frequently taken for granted. He can be any age, young or old and things frequently go south when enough of them move on.
The Reliable White Guy ™️ as one of many archetypes the same way the Tech Bazaar Indian ™️ and Overachieving Asian Mathematician ™️ are, but is more of a generalist.
