💯 Without the anchor of natural law, conservatism falls into either a vice of deficiency (becoming a slow motion liberalism that surrenders to the spirit of the age and conserves little) or a vice of excess (morphing into a thuggish tribalism driven by thumos rather than reason)

Protip: when modern women complain about social or family or male pressure over dating/marriage/pregnancy/weight/beauty standards etc etc what they’re really talking about is their own personal anxieties or inner voice of conscience intervening in their lifestyle hedonism in such…

The liberal false belief that crime is caused by society being mean to people is far more consequential for public policy than young earth creationism. Liberals are often right about a greater total number of things, but the ones they’re wrong about are civilization-defining.

I was born with a rare disorder. In the year of my birth only two other children were born with it anywhere on earth. Because of this, the first 15 years of my life were spent in doctors offices and operating rooms. People like Ms. Siddiqui would look at my medical history and…

The power of the Catholic Church is so counter-Nietzschean. And yet it’s a real power.

Anti-Ozempic people don’t understand that the average person isn’t supposed to be an iron-willed Übermensch. Average people simply reflect the quality of their society; they’re obese bc modernity is sick, not bc of some moral failing. Being thin should be effortless, the default!

A lot of depression is just choosing instant gratification to relieve the discomfort of not having chosen delayed gratification and getting stuck in a vicious cycle.

Transgenderism must revert to being a form of private eccentricity. Recognition as one's preferred gender can be privately negotiated but with no coercion by any entity private or public. We all have an absolute right to affirm or not affirm, believe or not believe, that gender…

L'insofferenza per i bambini nei luoghi pubblici segnala una popolazione 1) invecchiata, in cui i bambini sono pochi e non c'è più l'abitudine ad averci a che fare; 2) tanto infantilizzata nel feticismo dei propri consumi da non avere la minima pazienza verso chi li disturba.

The crazy thing about the Catholic Church is that it existed uninterrupted since Roman times. It’s weird to think of something being around that long. It’s basically a still-functioning Roman institution even though the Empire has long since disappeared.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't like their hometown because it means they don't like themselves

Popes John Paul II and Benedict spoke to different people, and everyone was fine with that. And I'm not criticizing them for the audience they could reach, or impugning their holiness. But they could not have reached the boy who aged out of foster care and was sleeping on a…

I'm actually quite populist in many ways, I think Western elites are not just wrong but downright retarded on a number of topics (crime, foreign policy, immigration, etc.), so one reason why I particularly resent Trump's insanity on trade is that I know that, once he's wrecked…

The trouble is precisely that what drives Trump’s recent grandiose actions is the desperate wish to be a “Great Man of History,” and what drives his most devoted followers is a desperate wish to believe that that is what he is. There is no other explanation for the breathtaking…

Immigrants "do the jobs Americans won't do" not just because of low pay - but because immigrants do them. It becomes a class marker, and Americans feel embarrassed to do them even at reasonable pay. The pay and class thing become a spiral downward.

The libertarian is incapable of understanding that all people are not like him. Not ‘rational actors’ (he isn’t either). It’s a kind of Asperger’s or just tunnel vision. Every stupid political claim he makes is downstream from this basic psychological disability.

One of the elephants in the room as to why women want careers is because the decline in socialization means being a stay at home mom can be super isolating for a lot of people Sometimes it’s not that women want to build PowerPoints, they just want to see other adults regularly

High IQ people are good at manipulating and fitting mental lego blocks together. They are NOT inherently good at apprehending truth. Give a high IQ person a bunch of retarded building blocks (i.e. flawed axioms), and they’ll build an entire retarded mental castle

Maybe, just maybe, the common stigma of being a whore associated with frequent casual sex collectively shared by nearly every functioning civilization throughout all of human history up until a minuscule sliver of time in recency happens to be correct. Maybe, just maybe, the…
