There's a book on this topic, it's called Boys Adrift, by Dr. Leonard Sax. I highly recommend it. It's been a while since I read it but some of the dynamics he talks about are: 1. The age at which children start school has gr

There is nuance here that you might not be aware of. He just had higher loyalty to his state than the union, something that was common back then. For better or for worse, the United States became dramatically more centralized after the Civi

It should have stopped earlier when he asked them not to celebrate his birthday. It's important to really listen to your employees, and it's pretty obvious in this case that he was not being listened to. It's something we pro

Are you thinking of the "Clean Network" initiative? It wasn't a Great Firewall, it was about not using Chinese telecom equipment for the internet.

How is that relevant? People are concerned about bad things that might happen to them but haven't happened to them yet. Just because it hasn't happened to them specifically doesn't mean their concerns are invalid.

I believe in parent rights. That is not a euphemism, coded speech, or dogwhistling. I believe the parents are responsible for raising their own children, I want to be the one to explain sex to them. I don't want the school to do it. Th

Thanks for showing this! I like the way the left-wing view is on the left, the right-wing view is on the right. It isn't clear what the system for organizing the information from top to bottom is. Also visually it feels like the articl

Unfortunately there cannot be an investigation. Too much time will pass before the Chinese let anyone investigate, if they ever do. But there are many areas in life where you can't gather enough information to make a statistically perf

There's circumstantial evidence. 1. The Wuhan lab was French built and supposed to jointly operated between France and China, but the French sounded the alarm about the terrible security practices of their Chinese counterparts. 2. Ecoh

This is a cool idea. You would probably want to run the PCCaaS as a non-profit and donate some of the money (5% seems generous?) to appropriate causes. The main API would be for displaying an appropriate banner of course. Another API would

Yeah it seems like the globalist mindset that much of the west adopted blinded it to the geopolitical realities that still govern international relations. Remember the "Russian reset"[1]? It was a big red button that was supposed

How so? If it leaked from a lab, it is almost certainly from the Wuhan lab. The Wuhan lab was a joint French-Chinese operation. Before COVID-19, EcoHealth (an organization with ties to the Wuhan lab) applied for a grant from DARPA to perfor
