This video inadvertently explains why it feels like America and Britain are reaching the end of the road:
1. The Enlightenment completely erased the Bible from the history of the West.
2. Instead of God, the Ten Commandments, the Covenant, the family, and the nation, we get all this insipid propaganda about how everything right and good was born in Athens.
3. Problem is neither America nor Britain can survive without the Scriptures that gave them life—any more than you or I could survive without air.
4. So this video, like all the academic books on which it is based, urges us to keep flying blind, upside down, and backwards.
5. *But it doesn’t work.*

My wife is an American, born in America to American citizens. She deeply loves our nation and its culture. You, on the other hand, were born to foreign invaders and want to turn America into the third world culture you were raised in, while advocating for communism at your $3 million mansion in between electrocuting your dog.

I know this brother is getting all the smoke right now. All heroes don’t wear capes. Thank you, Sir for thinking about those three children. He stated that the other jurors were activists from the start of the trial, and their interviews after proved what he was saying. Seriously; God bless this man. I don’t care about his past. Don’t care how much he owed in rent, at that moment, he had more decency in his heart than everyone in that deliberation room, who clearly had an agenda.

I had stage four cancer at 29.
It had eaten through my organs. Doctors cut out what they could, but the cancer kept growing like a fire.
Chemo burned my body. I lost all my hair, my weight dropped to skin and bone, and I could barely walk.
One doctor sat beside my bed and said, “We have nothing left. You have weeks, maybe days.”
That night alone in the dark hospital room I screamed inside.
I prayed with everything I had left: God, I am finished. Either take me or heal me right now. Then I passed out.
Three days later every blood test came back clean.
Every scan showed zero cancer.
The disease that was killing me had vanished.
Five years later I am strong and healthy. My oncologist still cannot explain it.
You have to believe there is a God.

One of the aspects of this current debate that is sad is how unAmerican everything that Vedant describes here is. Vedant had a fundamentally Indian, fundamentally Asian experience in high school. He may have been physically located in Texas, but he was living in Little India if this description is accurate.
This is the Asian mindset--striving, studying, testing, fighting for placement. This is why Korea shuts down the country to have quiet on Test Day. This is why Singaporean students labor from dawn to dusk to get placement in the university. This is the East.
Almost nothing described here is the Western tradition, the American tradition.
The description of high school here is hell to an American mind.
I would never, ever allow my children to have a teenage experience like this. This is not the kind of youth that creates stable, functional adults. This is not the kind of youth that builds a healthy, functional society and healthy, prosperous families over generations.
This is not the kind of youth I want any child to have.
@vedantnair__ , I respect your character, your work ethic, and your commitment to reaching excellence as you understand it.
But try to spend some time outside of your cultural enclave and recognize that you don't have to--you shouldn't have to--live like this. There's a much better pathway.
This is one of the reasons why the reaction of the current cultural conflict is so intense. When you describe your youth, you are not describing the youth that any American parent wants his children to endure.
Saying that this represents "American exceptionalism" or "American meritocracy" is to fundamentally misunderstand the American culture.
That's why the outrage is so intense.
Much has been said by racists, politicians, and racist politicians (like Bo French) about Indians and UT Austin admissions. I thought I should shed some light so their racism could be slightly more intelligent.
I'm a brown kid. I grew up in Frisco, went to a massive Texas high school, and went to UT.
I would wager that the kids in this picture and I have practically the same background. Like me, they probably went to a massive, pressure-cooker suburban Texas high school, and survived the gauntlet to earn their admissions.
These aren’t foreigners. State law requires 90% of UT's freshman class to be Texas residents. 75% of those in-state seats go to automatic admission on class rank. These are Texans.
Texas, for better or worse, is one of the few meritocratic college admissions schemes in the country for a school of its caliber. The rules are simple. Today, the top 5% of a public school's graduating class is automatically accepted. There is nothing to game. You can’t fake being a competitive rower or have some consultant write your essays for you. There isn’t anything to steal; it’s all there on the table to compete for.
And the competition starts the moment the bell rings for your first period of freshman year. You are ranked in your class every single year, for us, #1 to #450. You knew exactly where you were, exactly how hard you had to compete. My year was even less competitive than it is today. The top 6% made the cut, so that’s an all-out war for ~27 kids to get auto-accepted into UT.
So we worked our butts off. Here's what my life was like, starting in kindergarten.
Every summer, before the school year started, I had to finish the upcoming year's math textbook.
I sweated over getting As, even in elementary school. One funny memory is walking to my parents' room, crying, to report my first-ever 89 on a report card.
I did Kumon, my least favorite thing in the world. I still hate that weird half-smile that is their logo.
I went to math and science competitions, where I always lost, and came home crying again. (Quite the crybaby, wasn't I!)
And everyone else around me worked just as hard. Actually, a lot of the kids worked much harder. I know people who took extra classes (zero period) just to boost their GPA. Who routinely slept 5 hours a night to nail every assignment they had after band practice. Who were distraught when they got a 98 instead of a 100. People who stopped doing things they loved, like sports or arts, because those classes dragged down their GPA.
People put their entire life force into getting into this school.
I wasn't even in the top 10% of my class. The competition was too good. I wasn't disciplined enough to hang with them. I got in as one of the 22.5% of admits who are at-large Texans.
These are American kids who earned their way into this school in the most American way possible. Competition. They were told the rules, they competed, and they got the number. And on Saturday they were in that stadium in burnt orange, screaming their heads off, like every other Texan at DKR or around the country. I can’t feel anything but pride for them. That they get to live the dream that so many of us dreamt growing up!
Kids like this have helped improve UT’s standing on the national stage. They made it out of the pressure cooker and placed well in Finance, Big Tech, and more recently, startups. They meaningfully contribute to the economies of our state and country. You should be proud of them too.
Overall, this seems like a meritocratic (albeit flawed) way for Texans to be admitted to our state’s flagship school. It’s racially blind. But politicians like Bo French are asking for something different. They want the student body to rebalance racially.
Surely they aren’t advocating for affirmative action, are they?

Theres an easy test for assimilation, if someone insults India or Indians and you get offended then you're not American, you don't see yourself as American, or at least not just American.
Same with China, same with Africa, Mexico, same with anywhere. If you're offended, you must identify with that group in some way and not just as an American.
Tell a bunch of Midwesterners that Germany sucks, or Germans suck, and none of them will care despite Midwesterners being primarily of German descent. Why? Because they don't see themselves as German, they think of themselves as American.
Same with insulting England in New England, or Scotland in Appalachia, etc. Because they don't think of themselves as being members of those tribes, they're just Americans.
Bo French said and did nothing wrong.
Yes there’s a problem with what’s going on in the picture.
If everyone in the picture was either white, brown, or black, is that called “diversity”?
Any normie’s understanding of diversity would be some “coexist” multiracial mashup of many colors, races, religions, and backgrounds. That’s not what you see in this picture.
It is a picture of all South Asians/Indians. We live in a giant country that’s actually very diverse. How the hell did this weird concentration of one culture, one people happen?
Some will say, “Vish, these are first gens who are born in America”. Okay, why do first gen Indian Americans only hang out and associate with…other first gen Indian Americans? If you only wanted to be around other Indians, why come to America in the first place? Why did your parents come here?
The fact is this picture represents EVERYTHING WRONG with immigration in America today, particularly mass immigration.
They come over to America in droves like this, live amongst themselves in ethnic enclaves with immigrants of similar/same background as them. They speak and conduct business in their native language, not English, and refuse to assimilate not just into American culture, but into the American community.
Whether it was Brooklyn or Staten Island, I never lived in an Indian ethnic enclave like this. Working class minority majority neighborhood in Brooklyn and working class neighborhood on Staten Island. The only other Indian American I lived around in my apartment building was my cousin, who ended up enlisting and serving in the U.S. Army. My friend group on Staten Island looked like the UN. When we would go out, we looked like a mixed bag of M&Ms. We all spoke English, we all struggled and hustled to make a dollar, and we all clowned on each others race for shits and giggles.
I lived in the DMV area for a little, and I’ve met adult 30 - 40 year old Indians, born in America, who some how have Indian accents. This is the abomination Americans no longer tolerate and want to avoid. If it was up to me, I would deport such cases and their parents for failure to assimilate.
Americans are tired of Indians who pick and choose their identity based on what’s convenient or beneficial to them. Indian when they want to collect DEI and minority benefits, American when they want a dollar, avoid criticism, utilize American rights, and wear as a skin suit the prestige of America (that Indians/Indian Americans have contributed very little to).
The lesson here is simple. It’s not enough to LARP as an American by speaking English and maybe wearing burnt orange to a college football game.
If you want to be considered an American, it’s not enough to be “American” but you must be “with Americans”, and leave whatever old identities and allegiances to the Old World.
America is not here to be a piggy bank to raid and do global arbitrage with India’s shit currency.

My thoughts on FLGR-242.
So firstly, I don't particularly feel in the mood to pick fights this morning so I'm going to try to be a reasonable as possible here.
-The most glaring "issue" I have with FLGR-242 is the lack of data. I know, that's an unpopular complaint to have in this space because we're lacking data on just about everything. But theres not even any preclinical data, no cell models, no rodent models, nothing.
-We know that the specific albumin binding motif (SA21) works commonly on other molecules (routinely antibody Fab fragments), but FLGR-242 is a bulky glycan-rich molecule (the glycans comprising roughly 8-9kDa of flexible volume). The SA21 motif depends on the aromatic ring of the Trp12 wedging itself deep into the hydrophobic cleft in human serum albumin. Additionally, the glycan arborization can easily inhibit this function by encroaching on the concave binding face of the follistatin-like domain in a phenomenon known as "steric hindrance". The sugar chains could physically block the myostatin molecule from seating properly, which would remove its myostatin binding function completely. The design of the protein itself could very well be preventing its albumin binding AND its myostatin binding, and we have no idea without in-vitro studies.
-FLGR-242 is ~40kDa and 282 amino acids. For comparison the pictures below are 1) BPC-157 at 1.4kDa, 2) erythropoietin at 30-34kDa, and 3) G-actin at 42kDa. We're not talking about the average peptide despite it coming lyophilized in a vial. So we REALLY do not have anything authoritative to say this works like the marketing claim says. If cell assays come out that prove it DOES bind to albumin and it DOES inhibit myostatin while sparing TGF-β and activin, then I would obviously feel much better about it. But this all brings me to my next point.
-Proteins are far more complicated than peptides. It's not just dependent on the sequence of amino acids anymore. Any particular protein is dependent on the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain as well as side chain structure, side chain interactions with the primary chain, interactions between side chains, and the folding of the general structure. All of this is 100% necessary for the protein to have its intended biological function. People calling @JayCampbell333 a grifter because the price is too high is kind of missing the mark on that complaint. The price is high because synthesis of recombinant proteins is expensive and difficult, and a lot could go wrong. That however, is why I'm skeptical of "biohacking" with grey market proteins. The quality control required is immense. Not saying that FLGR-242 is shitty quality, I just don't know and the probability is much higher. (This whole point is amplified for his other premier product ⍺-klotho, which is 3-4x bigger and more complex of a molecule than this). Adding the albumin binding motif could potentially make the entire protein do nothing at all. And @BioLongevityUSA claims they fixed the off-target effects known to F-344 or F-315.
-Therapeutic clinical usage of previous Follistatin analogues tend to require adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy to work. So the usage of a peptide motif is atypical and unorthodox. Not saying it doesn't work, it might, but there's no way to make conclusive statements about it at this point.
Generally, I'm glad someone is trying to get creative in this space (I have a few cool sequence ideas for new products myself) but we shouldn't go jumping to making biological claims like "this peptide could make steroids obsolete!" and "this peptide will make you grow lean mass like nothing else". We have literally nothing to even remotely prove its concept or function, stop claiming otherwise. The anecdotes in this space are certainly interesting and if enough preclinical data gets published, then I could be convinced to do my own personal research but otherwise, it's just a cool novelty idea.

If you’re not from DFW, I don’t think you have an idea how significant the immigration issue is here. I don’t mean the mass of the problem, but rather how personal and widespread the frustration is among the residents regardless of political affiliations.
Even before my post, it’s been the topic at almost every dinner or party. If you’re from here and anything less than the upper class, you have a deep resentment for the companies and politicians ushering in foreigners at the expense of your home. We’ve watched some of the most liberal progressive people we know pull their kids out of public schools because they’re the only Americans left in their class. I don’t know how these people will vote, but they are facing the reality of their progressivism.
A lot of these people are uncomfortable having the discussion in public given it touches a raw part regarding race. I get the sensitivity and there is a sense in which that’s right. But if our politicians want the support of the people of Texas, they’re going to have to recognize that however silent, there is a significant majority that feel disenfranchise, betrayed and a level of despair watching their home be transferred to newcomers.
These are not hateful, mean or racist people. They simply want to give their kids an upbringing that resembles the one they had. They want their kids to go to schools with other English speaking Americans, meet kids at the park they can be friends with and they don’t want their kids to be minorities. This is normal and good.
If Bo’s post was over the line for you then you’ve lost touch with every voter and are in for a rude awakening.
Romans 9:13
Jacob I loved, but Essau I hated
Why did God hate Essau?
Cuz he cared so little for his birthright he traded it for some soup.
Jared Patterson is even worse than Essau.
He wants to trade YOUR birthright so he can have a nicer car, bigger house, Rolex.
Atleast Essau was starving.
So don’t let fakes like Jared use the bible to shame you into giving up your country so he can be wealthier.
This is racist. It is wrong. And I condemn it without reservation.
There is absolutely nothing Christian or conservative about looking at a crowd of young Texans at a college football game, seeing the color of their skin, and declaring that they are a “problem.” These are 20-year-old kids cheering for their university—not political props and not targets for racial attacks.
We can have serious debates about our nation’s immigration laws. I have strong views about immigration policy, and Americans have every right to demand changes to federal law. But opposing an immigration policy does not give anyone license to demean people because of their race or ethnicity.
And let’s be clear: the Texas Railroad Commission regulates our oil and gas industry. It does not set federal immigration policy. Texans deserve Railroad Commissioners focused on the responsibilities of that office—not using a statewide campaign as a platform for racial division.
This does not represent my Christian faith. It does not represent my conservative principles. And it does not represent the Republican Party I believe in.
As a Texas Aggie, I’m always happy to take a friendly shot at the Longhorns when the opportunity presents itself. That rivalry is part of what makes these two great universities so special. But this goes far beyond college rivalry. We should be willing to call racism wrong no matter who says it, what party they belong to, or how politically inconvenient it may be. This is wrong, and I want no part of it.
