A new article came out analyzing the contrast between leftists and rightist perceptions of different fields of science. Unsurprisingly, people who tend conservative tend to view fields of “science” populated overwhelmingly with rabid social justice leftists as unscientific. I have written about this before, and have an expanded version of…
Great speech from Mr. Hoppe on libertarianism and the alt-right. Also, get his book. It’s quite good:
Original article here. A new study reveals that nearly 70 percent of all the murders in the United States take place in 5 percent of the nation’s counties – and more than half of all homicides occur in just 2 percent of its counties. In 2014 – the most recent…
So in my recent post, I went over google’s new and extreme policy of censorship. I suggested that everyone install the adnauseam adblocker because it blocks ads, obviously, but also because it spoofs the ads by sending fake click data back to whoever delivers the ads. That means it sends google…
Below is an interview between Peter Schiff and some typical leftoid bimbo from the Progressive Policy Institute. I was not very familiar with Schiff prior to finding this interview, but on the topic of worthless degrees I am in total agreement with him. Government guarantees are the leading cause of…
In my last post I wrote about women making back decisions with respect to education thanks to a report on student debt differences between men and women. However, it is also not the best deal for men either, even if they tend to get more valuable degrees on average. Gaining…
An article recently came out lamenting that a larger number of women were incurring student loan debt and that debt was larger per capita among women than men. It is based on a report (click this, the graphs are worth looking at) by the “American Association of University Women.” Certainly this…
Trump signs two laws which create programs promoting STEM disciplines to girls. “It’s not fair and it’s not even smart,” Trump said of the low percentage of women with STEM degrees who actually work in the field. About a quarter of the women with STEM degrees work in the field.…
I noticed I was getting a few hits from the /r/anarcho_capitalism sub-reddit and stumbled on an interesting post by /u/chewingofthecud trying to compare and contrast An-caps to the alt-right. Overall it was a pretty interesting discussion. You can read it all here. This is otherwise hard to explain because according…
![Happy heuristic for the holidays [Polarity Shift #1]](https://atavisionary.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Polarity-shift.jpg)
A good heuristic for deciding how much to trust a claim about some group of humans is to exchange the groups (say with a find:replace command in word) with other groups and see if the change would result in a large swing in public perception. A large change in the…
An article recently came out about a a team which used a series of enzymes in a test tube to do something similar to what plants do in carbon fixation. However, the process is not entirely the same in that it uses different enzymes from a variety of sources, including…
A quick post for today. Hillary’s health has been a topic of some controversy over the last few weeks and wikileaks recently released an email showing research by Clinton staff into a drug used for parkinson’s disease. I suppose that could be a likely explanation for some of the odd…
As I often do, I was browsing reddit when I found the following post by an apparent Singapore native who was annoyed that a bank was advertising a female only credit card… In my country, only 2 banks here offer women-only credit cards; this is one bank. It’s been around…
Words you never want to hear (surprisingly): “You just won the lottery.” I just read one of the more interesting reddit comments I have ever seen and decided to share. I recommend you read through it as well. Apparently winning large sums of money in the lottery more often than…
I am not an economist, more casual observer, but I could see why negative interest rates could become a very huge problem when combined with a cashless society. A society which some prominent economists are already calling for. Negative interest rates are already in place at multiple central banks around…
