“Join the collective. Or else.” Part 3 showed that average IQs have made huge gains while general intelligence (g) has declined. Why worry about falling g? Physical and mental mutations are usually co-morbid.[1][2a] 84% of the human genome involves the brain[3], so a decrease in g means higher physical mutations (e.g. fewer alpha traits). Therefore, g predicts mutational load—something …
This is part of a series on feminism and the decline of society. See this index. In part 1, we showed that removing hardship in mice populations in the Mouse Utopia experiment led to genetic mutation buildup and eventual extinction. This decline is being mirrored in the demographic decline we now witness …
This is part of a series on feminism and the decline of society. See this index. Having introduced the idea of a social decline in part 1, let’s discuss the important role that marriage plays in the success of society. Then we will discuss intelligence and dysgenics in part 3. Here …

Almost inevitably someone will cite their favorite set of expert …
This post comes from a request from a Catholic named Betty to explain the text of the Wisdom 2:12-20. The Book of Wisdom is written from the perspective of Solomon and the book’s intended audience are those in rulership. The first third of the book contrasts the righteous with the …
Over at Sigma Frame blog, Jack gives three things you can do if you are married man and a woman signals that she wants a relationship: Ignore it. Acknowledge and escalate Acknowledge and reframe the situation into something redemptive. Of these, Jack rejects the first two. But underlying all of …
Though I am mostly apolitical (I do not vote), I can be classified as a political centrist (not a compromising moderate). This means I don’t land anywhere in particular on the political spectrum. I chose my views independently of any party line. I also apply my criticisms across the board. …
In Why I Don’t Vote, I laid out four reasons why I—as an Anabaptist—don’t vote. In doing so, I didn’t even have to mention the most obvious reason not to vote: dishonesty. Christians are enjoined to live pure lives cleansed of dishonesty and lies and they are instructed to call …
The debate over “What Constitutes Biblical Marriage?” is very old. Does marriage require a ceremony and/or consumation? Is polygamy allowed? Can you divorce and remarry and does it matter why and who is at fault? Is marriage only between a man and a woman? In attempting to answer questions like …
