All companies in China are required to do whatever the CCP tells them to do. If you have more than 100 employees, you must have a member of the CCP to provide oversight. Zhang Zhiming, the CEO of Byte Dance publicly grovels to the CCP. He

I suspect that many genuinely kind hearted people think they are doing the right thing by silencing the speech of those whom they find repulsive but have never stopped to ask themselves “Why are the oligarchs on my side?” Project Dragonfly

Good idea. Psychopaths are apparently 1% of the population. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) apparently have very a different brain anomaly. It might be necessary to have separate tests for each: https://bit.ly

It’s a fair point and a genuinely real phenomenon. However, in my experience, people with low PCL-R scores who make bad decisions when in emotional states are likely to change their position when they realize they have inadvertently harmed

I wonder if previous uprisings against the elites were preceded by similar displays of callous indifference for the suffering of the lower classes.

If Jeffrey Epstein had preyed upon the children of the coastal elites instead of the children of the poor, I suspect that the subject would be less “tricky”.

Fair. And if the left extended their "circle of caring" beyond the intersectionality hierarchy to include everyone who suffers we could stop wasting time fighting each other and work together for the betterment of all. Re: non-und

His biases are interesting but what really matters is the data. Either his empirical findings are correct or they are incorrect.

It might be that the truth is in the middle. Clearly the design was great but hindering repairability is a legitimate criticism. I recall watching a young child from a poor family in an Apple Store trying to get the iPad that she loved repa

~50% of males have their genes exterminated each generation. Their experience of reality is probably very different than yours. That does not mean that their reality is not real. If you are not part of this group, congrats on winning the ge

Yes. There is an entire industry devoted to teaching men how to trick women into having sex with them. If you just want to gratify yourself, there is plenty of opportunity. I don’t think that any of that will change the 50% rate of extermin

Have you experienced having a woman you loved and who genuinely seemed to be in love with you get pregnant by another man and try to convince you that you that you are father? There is nothing "false" about the hopelessness that y

I don't mean in any way to downplay the genuinely deep suffering experienced by many women, but everyone knows that many such attempts are cries for help rather than genuine attempts. The fact is that men successfully kill themselves a

Of course they do. Females are hypergamous. Through no fault of their own they have been genetically programmed by evolution to desire the highest status males. Studies have shown that women rank 80% of the men on dating sites as "belo

Yeah. Personally, I think Peterson is in the business of offering false hope to the condemned. A useful service to the elites. But the evidence is the evidence. Suppressing the truth is not a good long term strategy in the age of the intern

Fair. My understanding is that in each generation HALF of the males have their genes exterminated. In "12 Rules for Life", Jordan Peterson says that human female choosiness is the reason why humans evolved faster than chimpanzees,

No good person wants criminal police officers to not be held to account but simply passing laws is unlikely to have the desired effect. Many police departments in the united states are already highly corrupted at the highest levels. Its not

You might be missing the point. Assuming that all the good guys are supervisors and all the bad guys are the supervised is an unwise assumption to make. The bad guys can simply become supervisors and weed out the good guys. Entire police de
