  • Your Principle Job as A Parent

    Jan 31, 2020, 8:02 AM

    —“I hate to say this but you make a big difference to your children with your genes, and very little difference to your children with your parenting”— Charles Murray

    I say this slightly differently. Your genes determine everything about your children. Your principle job as a parent is not to improve your children (you can’t), but notto screw them up. And you can reduce friction in life for them by training them in good habits (grooming, manners, ethics, morals) and to do as little harm to them as possible. 😉 Just don’t screw them up.


    (Educational progress tells us nothing other than rate of maturity and conscientiousness).

    —“Ask [SJW’s] about their relationship with their father. I notice a strong correlation between hating Trump and daddy issues.”—Gary Knight

    Fathers matter. SJWs: Daddy issues. Useless Education Indoctrination into Critique Urban Location Limited Social Structure. Unmarried or poorly married. No children. No property. Debt. And irrelevant. Biological dead weight on the planet. A waste of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.

  • Mating criticism

    Jan 31, 2020, 1:42 PM Mating criticism from both sides is caused by the same problems. It overstates the sex maybe, underestimates the entertainment, friendship, and economic qualities – and how temporary entertainment, and social goods are compared to economic and friendship. Then, because of the overweight average, the lack of exercise, the safe-i-fication of sports, the suppression of male dominance play, and agitation of female victimhood, the percent of moderately desirable men and women has decreased. Yes, high performance women are of no value to men and they have to settle. Yes, low value men are not valuable to women (or men). And women ride the c–ck carousel as the article suggests only to discover it lowers their chances of successful relationships, and their value to quality men. Frankly? too many men and too many women are undesirable for very obvious reasons. This leaves high performance men holding all the cards.
