Adolescence and fatherhood in Peter Pan
Men have to live with the hormonal burden that assumes you need to beget children. Our minds are calibrated around it, and it affects our approach to life. Men have to live with their aggression, that drive. Ensure the elevation of your bloodline in the present and its continuation in the future. It seems like…

Are stereotypes racist?
I’ve seen so many people call anything that portrays people as being different “racist”. Cartoons, old TV shows, costumes. Regardless of whether the portrayal or intent is actually negative or not, the mere fact of difference itself, characterization, is habitually and thoughtlessly labeled as racist. The very idea that someone from another culture might speak…

A balanced equation
The lesson of the long history of sexual specification is that life is not best served by reduction to a single strategy or morphology. What then is the ideal number of strategies or morphologies for a species? At the individual and embodied level the answer is: as many as there are individuals. Each one provides…

Is anti-racism Marxist?
I wanted to draw attention to this video, not because it’s such a detailed examination of this subject or of what it means, but because it’s such a small, limited case. And it includes several statements by Ibrim X Kendi that are very representative of his positions and asks the question, what would that mean…

Walking away from one another
There’s a curious movement I’ve heard about. It’s not new, it’s been around for a while, in many ways it has been around since the dawn of time. But now they have an acronym! MGTOW, or men going their own way. Predictably, they’ve been labeled as mysogynist, seperatist, male-supremacist, alt-right, anti-feminist incels. If you decide…

Why have sex?
The great question that sex as a feature of the world raises is, why not have just one kind of thing? What is the value, if there is any, of having divergent roles? And what are they and how deep do they go? How flexible are they, and what are the costs and benefits of…

Fear and Loathing on the path to wisdom
I had an odd argument the other day. And it took me almost two weeks of letting it sit in the back of my mind to figure out what was going on. Clearly there was a struggle between me and the other person. I was struggling with what they were trying to do. And they…

Positive narratives or honest ones?
Should we conceal negative facts about specific groups, such as minorities? This is a growing question in a time where we are desperate to report everything bad about certain groups and nothing bad about others, while trumpeting everything good about some groups and saying nothing good about others. I think Thomas Sowell put…

Sports, technology, and trans althetes
There is an unacknowledged problem arising from the reality of gender transitioned people as a technological product. Which for sport especially is a problem. They aren’t another sort of human, another gender or race or phenotype. They’re something we made and maintain with medical technology, that we only recently invented and is being used…

Fears about racial differences
I think the unspoken concern here is the same concern women have with men. That if we’re not the same, we might be worse. If black people aren’t the same, indistinguishable in their qualities and capabilities, from whites, they might be worse. Which is itself a problem, because, first, you’re tacitly assuming that there aren’t…
