アフガニスタン都市部の女性の100年史

[Beyond the Cosmic Veil @ClassicalAegis]

Civilization is drowning in mediocrity and starving for Beauty.

It is one of the things which reminds a civilization that life is worth living.

Cathedrals, poetry, music, sculpture, architecture, gardens, great stories are civilizational necessities.

A society which stops striving for beauty eventually forgets what it is striving for at all.

An Inconvenient Truth for climate alarmists:

Al Gore’s dramatic climate warnings shaped a generation — but 20 years later, the data tell a very different story.

Climate-related deaths are down 97% over the past century, polar bears more than doubled since the 1960s, and global burned area has decreased by more than 25% over the past quarter century.

That's hardly a success of climate policy though: fossil fuels still provide 81% of world energy, emissions keep rising, and $16 trillion+ spent on green policies since Gore's movie came out hasn’t changed the trajectory.

A good reminder that panic is a terrible policy adviser.

A church does not need gold to feel sacred.

— Beauty comes from people who cared enough to build something worthy of God and of the community around them.

@MartinKulldorff got some chuckles at the House roundtable with this:
"We knew about [infection-acquired immunity] since 430 BC, since the Athenian Plague, until 2020. Then we didn’t know about it for three years, and now we know about it again."

Decades ago, my brilliant brother, @ericweinstein, pointed me to this 1944 essay. It brought me to tears. I learned something terrible about history, and I worried that one day we would find ourselves in the position Koestler describes.

Censorship is extreme and almost exclusively attacks truth, in the interests of protecting an entirely false narrative. Join the movement speaking out. https://t.co/yE5U2J1Eux

Shockingly poor decision. We need to get these clowns out of our lives.

After half a million views, an outpouring of emotional positive responses, no complaints about veracity & 100 likes for every dislike, @pandata19’s BizNews presentation, "The Ugly Truth about the COVID-19 Lockdowns" was deplatformed by YouTube. 1/4

The “Indian variant” is not even very prevalent in India. Remember that any scientist speculating about variant impacts is a fraud.

[Nick Hudson @NickHudsonCT]

The reporting of the 20 March protests, among the largest ever, was virtually non-existent. No doubt our supplicant, controlled media will have nothing to say about yesterday’s. So retweet.

[Nick Hudson @NickHudsonCT]

A reminder:
(1) Given the sharply age-graduated mortality of Covid, lockdowns are expected to cause MORE deaths.
(2) Empirical analysis confirms that they do.
(3) The same logic applies to mask mandates if they work.
(4) Empirical analysis confirms that they don’t.

[David Bell @bell00david]

To those who wish to gain financially from a more authoritarian, restrictive future, the most dangerous super-spreading events are those that spread a realization that restricting freedoms has little or no impact on COVID19 transmission.
