In my post “Your Guru has No Clothes: Jordan Peterson is in Rehab“, I made some highly critical remarks on Jordan Peterson, or so I thought because I only pointed out the obvious. However, there is a lot more to unpack here. The focus of this post is on depression and its causes. Of course,… Continue reading Thoughts on Depression, or: Is Jordan Peterson a Failure?
Even if you only irregularly follow mainstream news, you have probably come across Greta Thunberg, a shockingly unattractive 16-year-old Swedish girl with autism whose family is part of the societal elites. You may wonder what you could learn from an ugly teenage girl who seems to have skipped puberty. If you said that there was… Continue reading The Epitome of Clown World: Climate Activist Greta Thunberg
Quite recently the news that mainstream-endorsed self-help guru Jordan Peterson has checked into rehab has flared up on social media. Of course, everybody wants him to now get better and kick his addiction. However, what should also be pointed out is that this should strip him of all credibility. The title of this post alludes… Continue reading Your Guru has No Clothes: Jordan Peterson is in Rehab
I recently travelled to a moderately large German city for a business trip. It’s one of those places with an old university and the corresponding metastasizing companies and NGOs. Basically, directly or indirectly everybody lives off the taxpayers’ dime, which leads to a rather left-leaning political landscape. After checking into my hotel, which was located… Continue reading Societal Cracks due to Multiculturalism
I have been living in Sweden for quite a while now. As much as I disagree with the politics of this country, I am not particularly ungrateful. I moved on a whim, but I got my break in this country. Germany had chewed me out. In Sweden, I quickly got on my feet, despite the… Continue reading Sweden’s Suffocating Socialism: A Personal Story
It is all-too-easy to bash non-technical degrees. That is not to say that there is no bullshit in technical degrees. (There is, but that would be a story for another post.) What I want to take aim at is the one fundamental weakness of the former. It is a fundamentally flawed understanding of the scientific… Continue reading The Biggest Problem of the Humanities and Social Sciences
Occasionally, people ask me for career advice, either my opinion on particular fields or on how they should approach choosing a career. The focus is generally on what kind of degree to choose. In this post, I present a brief summary of the problem. A general issue is that people are almost myopically focused on… Continue reading A Quick Guide to Picking a University Degree
One of the biggest problems of normies is that they are seemingly unable to question anything. They believe what’s in the news. If something is printed in a book, it’s even more authoritative, and if they hear a lie often enough, they swallow it hook, line, and sinker. Of course, there are clear intellectual limitations.… Continue reading The Benefits of Conspiratorial Thinking
In a recent post on my other blog, which was titled The Kindergarten Thot Party, I used the term “ethnic” to refer to a non-white person. As a concerned reader let me know, that term is “offensive”, “inconsiderate” and “racist”. To me, “ethnic” does not have that kind of connotation at all, but what do… Continue reading Supposedly, calling someone “ethnic” is a slur
At the beginning of the great European migration crisis, we were promised doctors and engineers, quantum physicists and mathematicians, architects and pilots. In the end, we somehow got an abundance of uneducated goat-herders. The thought that a third-world country could educate people at the standard of the first world is indeed ludicrous and it says… Continue reading “Doctors and Engineers” Performing Simple Tasks
I relatively frequently visit my local university library as it is conveniently located. Depending on which country you live in, you may be surprised to hear that in Sweden, the character of libraries has been changing for the worse. They are nowadays meeting places for people. I would even find whispering inappropriate, but you often… Continue reading How Culture Corrupts Institutions: The Tale of the Feminist Librarian
When I was younger, I occasionally came across older guys who somehow felt compelled to impart their wisdom on me. This is bad enough when it happens in the real world, but you can find that kind of person online as well. Picture some loser who has not achieved anything of note in life. By… Continue reading The False Wisdom of the Aged Beta Male
Now that I’m settled in life, I can’t say I have a lot of stress. I have a permanent job, which would be difficult to lose, but even if, I would be very surprised if it would take me long to find a new one. Every day is basically the same for me, but perhaps… Continue reading Exposing Yourself to Positive Psychological Stress
I recently read a book on the collapse of Nazi Germany. The content is not particularly relevant for this blog, but one comment by the author of that book is. He pointed out that the purpose of Hitler’s Germany was war. War was the chosen method of expanding the nation’s territory. Among people who romanticize… Continue reading Western Culture Lacks Aim and Purpose
Quite recently, a whole bunch of leftist journalists got downsized at esteemed news organizations such as Huffington Post or BuzzFeed. Those journalists then got a taste of their own medicine. While they arrogantly wrote articles in the past, suggesting that laid-off miners or manufacturing workers should “learn to code”, they now got the same advice.… Continue reading Why Journalists Should Learn to Code
