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
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
Censorship can be carried out in a heavy-handed manner, which is all-too-obvious and yields you a bad reputation on the world stage. A much more subtle approach is underhanded censorship. Here is what recently happened in lovely Sweden when I wanted to get my hands on Joachim Fest’s Hitler biography. Let me start by reminding… Continue reading Political Censorship in Sweden: The Elusive Hitler Biography
Heiner Rindermann is one of the few social scientists that is not a staunch lefty. His research focuses on the not politically correct topic of intelligence. If you have ever looked into studies on IQ differences between nations or ethnicities, you may have come across his work. As I have read about a handful of… Continue reading Book Review: “Cognitive Capitalism: Human Capital and the Wellbeing of Nations” by Heiner Rindermann
I’ve gotten quite some entertainment out of T.M. Scanlon’s book “Why Does Inequality Matter?”, as it so potently albeit involuntarily shows the utterly myopic thinking of the liberal white educated suburbanite. He cracked me up when he referred to a statement by a poor black woman (p. 30-31) about why she has to have luxury… Continue reading Why (Poor) People Buy Luxury Goods
Back when I used to go out a lot, I sometimes ended up in conversations with random guys in clubs and bars. I won’t pretend that all of those were great conversations and that I did not excuse myself early on more often than not. However, sometimes you end up talking with someone who gives… Continue reading A Conversation with a Baby Boomer
I once dated a woman who had seemingly no financial literacy. She had a decent job, but at the end of the month, all her money was gone. Part of it was due to her downright absurd habit of going on an online shopping spree when there was “too much money” in her bank account,… Continue reading Fix your Finances in a Few Easy Steps
I am currently reading the book Cognitive Capitalism: Human Capital and the Wellbeing of Nations by Heiner Rindermann, which is a tour de force through the topic of differences in intelligence, as measured by IQ, in a global context. One of the more interesting points he raised is that there are countries where a supposedly… Continue reading The Decline of Collective Intelligence in Germany: Frankfurt Airport
It is very rare for me to go to the cinema these days. I think the last movie I watched on the big screen was Entourage, which was way better than the critics would make you believe. However, due to semi-frequent traveling, I got the chance to watch quite a few moves on planes. When… Continue reading Progressive Propaganda in Pixar’s The Incredibles 2
You may think that Sweden is a well-run Western country. Then again, if you follow international news just a little bit, your perception is probably a much different one. Here is an aspect that you may find truly shocking. It is based on my personal experience when I voted in the elections on 9 September.… Continue reading Grassroot Election Manipulation in Sweden
In the days before the election in Sweden, I received mail from only one political party, the Left Party. They sent me three A4-sized fliers. The first one told me that we cannot be racists because we are all equal and all the same. On the second, they deliriously claimed that they stand for a… Continue reading “Free Shit” Political Parties
Among the many morally bankrupt phrases used by the subversive Left is the claim that technology that is used by all should also be created by all. This is the supposed justification for discriminating against white males and Asians in the technology sector. Instead of the most qualified employee, companies are now supposed to pick… Continue reading “Technology that is used by all should be created by all”
