Credentialism

September 10th, 2009 · 23 Comments

I have read both Roissy and Whiskey make the point that as society becomes more feminized, credentialism becomes more prevalent. Perhaps credentialism is at its zenith today, pushing the obedient overachievers straight to the top. Many of these obedient, overachieving types are women — in fact, given the gender disparity in college graduation rates, most [...]

Ferdinand Bardamu has a good reminder up about netiquette. Social networking is a big thing these days, and Ferdinand is pretty good at it. It takes time, dedication and a work ethic. I see a lot of publications that could really use guys like him to make a big difference in their online presence.

The Publication is Taking Shape

September 3rd, 2009 · 13 Comments

I’ve chosen a name and a domain for the new publication, and now all I need to do is design the site, which won’t be easy, but I’ll enjoy it nonetheless. For now, I’m going to keep the name to myself, because I don’t want it to get any traffic while I’m still testing and [...]

Concepts that ought to be incorporated into the name include:

Social Conservatism and the Lot Complex

August 26th, 2009 · 19 Comments

The emergence of a rift between the younger proponents of Game and the older conservative establishment has come to expose some of the pathologies that have festered for many years beneath the surface of American society. One, in particular, can explain many of the symptoms of our social decay and the deconstruction of marriage, that [...]

The Case for a Consolidated Blog

August 22nd, 2009 · 20 Comments

Over at Nova’s place, we’ve been chatting a bit about setting up a central blog to pull things together in one place. I think that’s the way to go for a number of reasons, and I’ll try to explain here what some of the advantages are.
1. More efficient browsing
In terms of exposure, this is [...]

A New Theory on Interracial Marriage

August 18th, 2009 · 42 Comments

Some time ago, I read Steve Sailer’s theory concerning the disparity in rates of interracial marriage, i.e. why more black men marry white women than white men marry black women, and why more white men marry Asian women than Asian men marry white women.

Carl Jung: Founding Father of Game

August 13th, 2009 · 54 Comments

In the course of my foray into psychology, I decided to look into Carl Jung – who was mentored by Freud for some time – for some new material. From what little I have read so far, I have found Jung to be a very appealing thinker.
While conducting some online research, I happened across [...]

Some Thoughts on the American Dilemma, Using China as a Reference Point

August 11th, 2009 · 21 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, a Chinese friend of mine from Beijing was in town, and I spent a couple of evenings catching up with him. He’s an intelligent guy and a real gentleman. His main weakness is an obsession with golfing, but that’s no big deal to me, as this same tendency is very [...]

Professor Gates’ Tantrum

July 23rd, 2009 · 15 Comments

Harvard prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. has been making an ass of himself by getting as indignant as he is over his arrest, but he does make a point, if not the one he’d like it to be. Gates is alienating a lot of people by suggesting that his arrest was racially motivated even though [...]
