Marriage tip for guys: You're allowed to design your own engagement ring, & get a jeweler to fabricate it for you. As I did 5 years ago for @sentientist.

For dispersing obnoxious campus protest encampments, my hunch is that shutting off campus WiFi, & blocking cellular reception, would be more effective than sending in police. If college students can't post Instagram photos from somewhere, they'll go somewhere else.
The two most naturally racially diverse groups of people I have ever seen were a Baptist revival and a shooting range. They required no recruitment, quotas or DEI - and yet they are so rarely admired by progressives.
A very attractive high status man in his late twenties can easily have casual sex with many women. He is in love with his girlfriend but wants to continue to have lots of casual sex. She says she is willing to try a one sided open relationship. What is your advice for him?
Gen Z Americans hate Jewish people & Israel more than any other generation in living memory. This is mostly due to: 1) The far right (eg white supremacists, Christian nationalists, Republicans) 2) The far left (eg woke identity politics, critical race theory, Democrats)
The optimist believes that humanity can progress & prosper without summoning superintelligent AI demons & then begging them to be nice to us. The pessimist believes that humanity is so irredeemably broken & stupid that we need to be replaced by machines.

Parenting tip: If your toddlers are tired of Cocomelon & Miss Rachel, try playing them some Bollywood song & dance videos from YouTube. - bright colors - dynamic dances - catchy rhythms - wholesome themes - feminine women, masculine men
Worth watching this minute long video showing that these protesters who want to be heard are actually unwilling to speak (and again are barricading entrances to public spaces which is illegal)

@ilex_ulmus Counterpoint: if we develop Artificial Superintelligences (ASIs), then humanity is lost, sooner or later. We become merely a footnote to a future civilization run by machines, for machines, according to machine goals. We become, at best, pets and playthings and sentimental…
Oh my sweet summer child 😂 When someone of either sex says “let me ask my husband/wife” it means “No, and I can’t be bothered to explain to you why”
Setting aside any constitutional/legal issues around free speech, if protesters chant a particular slogan, hour after hour, day after day, do they have a moral duty to understand the slogan's origin, meaning, & implications?
A @UCLA "professor" being schooled by a Jewish student on the definition of "genocide" These schools are infected by Islamist, Communist, Leftist feelings and emotions of rage based on no logic. 🤦

@primalpoly @waitbutwhy Flowers are beautiful & smell lovely because bees and bats and moths like them that way. They did not evolve to please us.
@primalpoly @sentientist This is the way. Also, more expensive =/= superior (more rare/elegant). You can find certain skilled artisans who will do fine work for a reasonable price.

Northeastern student talks about being arrested. He’s clearly masking for “health,” not for identity purposes. The fact that students are still masking says something horrifying about what college admissions are selecting for when they choose based on “personality.”
@DouthatNYT Why do journos never seem to note that ppl pushing "child-free" lifestyles & promoting childlessness "for the environment" tend to be mentally ill & extreme? Oh yeah, because they would be labelled "far-right" by the far-left oddballs who craft the media narratives.
@DouthatNYT @BradWilcoxIFS Pretending that this is a "New Right" issue is such a weird perspective for something that is actually such a broad cross-politics issue that anyone who cares about our future (like every climate-change activist) could also care about.
@DouthatNYT Promoting sterility - healthy, normal, high-status Pro-natalism - sick, extreme, low-status 🧐
Nothing wrong with a journo noting that ppl interested in a pro-natalism conference tend to be eccentric or extreme. But the contextual Q should be, "isn't it ... odd that only oddballs seem interested in the looming depopulation of the developed world?" politico.com/news/magazine/…
Worth hearing this lecture by @GadSaad
That most people’s political opinions are a matter of social identity expression rather than a commitment to particular principles is a well-established finding in political science
The belief that everyone else is an NPC is a comforting lie people tell themselves that betrays a deep intellectual insecurity
There’s a conceptual distinction between being anti-Israel & antisemitic. It is possible to be the former & not the latter. It’s equally true that there’s a very real correlation between the two. When you support mistreating Zionist students then you’re an antisemite.
