The terrible power of invitation
Tyrannical femininity expresses itself through an invitation. Tyrannical masculinity expresses itself through a confrontation. Both have similar ends. Both are trying to $#@& you over. They just have different ways of doing it. In the feminine power structure, if you don’t make yourself pleasing, if you don’t come in and make yourself fit, you’ll…

Borders and cell biology
I think the most important question about borders is permeability. You need borders because you want to select what crosses them. The state is like a living organism. Living organisms have cell membranes and cell walls. That’s one of their defining, necessary features. And there’s a selectivity that allows certain things…

Missing my young children
When I first had kids, I was really looking forward to when they would be a bit bigger and could do more activities, play more games, and watch movies with me. Share the fun things and be playmates. I was never very interested in babies and was eager to have eight to ten-year-olds. But now…

A letter to Jordan Peterson
I’ve always been someone who was attracted to a variety of fields of study, and so I have always appreciated your (Jordan’s) efforts to synthesize and connect knowledge across multiple domains. And I wanted to share a story about an unusual domain you have helped connect me to. In my own life, I have…

Is being nice a sucker’s game?
Is being nice to women weakness? That’s a question that came up in a discussion about being a simp. If you don’t know what being a simp is, it’s basically a guy who does things to please women but gains no reward or respect for it. He’s simply being exploited. He sucks up to women with…

If you set aside feelings, which admittedly run extremely high on this subject for many reasons, a far more ambiguous picture emerges of the net cost and…

Conceptualizing death
The hardest thing to conceive about death is the fact that the world goes one afterward. Whether it’s your own death or the death of someone close, death is the end of your personal existential world, or at least a part of it. The sudden end of what it was, forever. Because our world is…

TikTok guides to neopronouns
I’ve been learning about “neopronouns” and the “neodivergent” from the world’s greatest resource: TikTok. I’ve also read some guides from popular media websites about how to embrace this hot phenomenon. And here’s my reaction: All of this is just people screaming “Indulge my fantasy!” We all would prefer to live in a world of our own…

Chronocentrism
We are as chronocentric today as people were ethnocentric in the past. If the past was another culture, we would be considered the worst of bigots. Life, as Edmund Burke said, is a contract between the generations of the present, the generations past, and the unborn. And we’ve broken our contracts with both.

Peter Pan and the tyranny of sexual maturity
https://youtu.be/-OQL1Jja3p4 Jump to 1:05:28 OK, this post requires some background. You have to watch at least part of the video, and I’m not going to explain it. There is something very important coming to light in this discussion. The bit about refusing development into some conception of maturity is a key point, and I want…
