Psychological and Sociological issues

We read words, not letters - but only after we learned to read the words correctly!

As I've heard the comment several times now, let me add that this effect sets in once people are really fluent readers - they learned how to read the words letter by letter - which is what we need to do for every new word we are not familiar with. The effect of recognizing familiar words as an entity sets in after this learning phase. That means that it was a huge mistake to try to teach children to "learn entire words" instead of teaching them to read the letters, first.

Based on this short documentary about Bobby Fischer: https://youtu.be/pwx8B-Va_Hg I wanted to know more about the alleged father, Paul Nemenyi, the mathematician. That's not a myth, that's 100% a fact - he was Bobby's...See more

Pointless cosmetic surgery

When a stunning natural beauty like Erin Moriarty asks for cosmetic surgery, you know that there's something else going on in her life. She's not well... Definitely a reminder of the movie "Looker" by Michael Crichton from 1981, which I recently mentioned. It starts with a stunning beauty seeing a cosmetic surgeon to make her face "perfect" with minuscule changes... https://youtube.com/watch?v=yoT-r1slAZ4

Not exactly a positive social development 🤔

Especially considering the massive demographic decline. So they will sell out their sexuality for money, but they won't have kids... They miss the entire point why sexuality exists at all 🤦‍♂️ We KNOW for a fact that transgenderism is heavily promoted with money from Chinese billionaires. I wonder if OF was set up by them, too, to ensure that western young women won't have kids 🤔 Because that's what it comes down to: a massive depopulation and population replacement in the West.

Tattoo popularity

In 2012, I recorded the number of Americans with tattoos. Back then, it came to a grand total of 20%. Now, 13 years later? It's up to 32%! WTF is wrong with these people? It's mostly women and blacks. The lower the income, the more tattoos. So it's basically a method for low...See more

Steve Sailer : "a lot was going on in 1922: that year Harvard imposed a quota on Jewish admissions on the grounds that Jews were excessively smart, while Congress was moving toward limiting immigration in 1924 in part on the grounds that Yugoslav gentiles were excessively dumb." https://www.stevesailer.net/p/is-iq-a-conspiracy-theory If only Switzerland had imported more Jews and fewer Kosovars 🙄
