People genuinely don't understand this: 1. The global average IQ is 84. It's not the only factor but it's a major one. 2. Most successful ethnic groups have an average IQ of 100-105. The highest (Ashkenazi Jews) sit at about 107-112. 3. In order for a society to thrive, it needs to have an average IQ over 100. 103-105 or so seems to be the threshold. At 103-105, you get peak England, the Scandinavian countries or peak Germany. At 100 you get France, and at 98 Spain. The difference between global domination and also-ran is surprisingly small; just 2-3 IQ points. Another 4-5 and you're a basket case country like the Philippines or Bulgaria or modern Greece. 4. IQ can, within a population, shift solely through genetics, by 0.5-1.0 points per generation. Social factors can magnify that effect by 5-7 points. Consequently, the functional IQ of a population can change enough in one generation for a society to go from "world domination" to " basket case." A more realistic outcome is that this can take 2 or 3 generations to happen. Well, that is what happened. People often misinterpret the Flynn effect and think that IQs are rising but they're not. They're declining. 5. America is now too low IQ to maintain its position as world hegemon. More so, current birthrate trends have us rapidly entering not just "also ran" territory but "basket case." The only reason we will stay on top is because we're absurdly rich compared to the rest of the world so we have a long way to fall before anyone catches us. 6. Successful countries become successful usually through a long process of breeding themselves into a higher IQ and then matching that with a social organization that maximizes it. All it takes is one bad generation to destroy what took centuries to gain. This is why today's Greeks aren't like the Greeks of golden age antiquity, and today's Romans aren't like the Romans of old. 7. The highest IQ populations today are both not reproducing but also replacing themselves with low IQ populations. Even Israel is only 1/3 Ashkenazi with lower IQ groups making up the majority of the country. It is worth noting that the Haredi (the cohort with the highest total fertility rate) is about 80% Ashkenazi, but I have no available data on their average IQ. My point is that IQ does not appear to be an evolutionary advantage in the modern age and as such, it isn't being selected for. This suggests that we're in a race against decline. We need to solve the IQ problem through technology before we simply run out of smart people living in functioning societies.

Listen I love Japan but you are misinformed. Collectively, European military power is 10x Japan and that’s not including nuclear weapons. Military growth over the last few years has been especially strong and Europe now manufactures more munitions than the United States, never mind Japan. Economic growth has also been much stronger, much more so than Japan. And Europe is a big place. While you might argue some countries are in decline others are rocking. Poland has grown 41% in the last 10 years, vs just 4% for a Japan. And the whole European invasion thing is a bit exaggerated - like around 5% are from middle east east and africa - and while some countries like France are up to 10-12% most have have less than 1% and are more worried about a Russian invasion than an African one.

移民で日本の文化が壊れるって言われると、渡来人はどうなるんだ…… 遣隋使や遣唐使は無駄ってこと？小野妹子や阿倍仲麻呂は？ 日本の文化は飛鳥で壊れて終わっていないし、貿易で発展していったし、なんか排他主義で差別をする前に日本史の教科書読みなよ。 日本が好きなら歴史学習も楽しいでしょ？

Peter Thiel on the Antichrist and the risk of a totalitarian one-world state: Thiel says a totalitarian one-world state would be a "tyrannical, single government that controls the entire world, that turns the entire planet into a prison from which there is no escape." "It'd be far worse than North Korea because you could still get out of North Korea." "How does the Antichrist convince the entire world to surrender and let this one-world government take over?" "The Antichrist comes to power by talking about Armageddon nonstop, by talking about existential risk nonstop." "I'll pick an AI example: Eliezer Yudkowsky wrote this book in fall of 2025: If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies." "It goes through all these different risks where this technology is potentially dangerous." "The thing where this book in my account is weak is—what do you do? You are supposed to surrender to the one-world state." "If you outlaw it in the US, it'll be built in China. If you outlaw it in China and the US, it can be built in South Africa. So you have to outlaw AI everywhere in the world." "I am not a crazy person who's arguing that we should just push the nuclear button and see what happens or something like that. When I was 20 years old at Stanford, I had dinner one evening with Edward Teller. He was an 80-year-old physicist, the father of the H-bomb." "He sort of told us he was not scared of nuclear weapons, and it was not enough to contain communism. You needed to roll communism back. And if you put him in charge—he was from Hungary—he would send the tanks into Hungary right away. He was not scared of nuclear weapons." "This was two years before, you know, um, the Eastern bloc fell without firing a shot." "I am not pro-Dr. Teller. I'm not pro-Dr. Strangelove, none of these things. But the perspective I want to give you is that that's not the danger in our society." "The threat is much more someone like Greta or her fellow travelers."

【「ノアの箱舟」を調査するチームが異常な空洞を発見、トルコ】 旧約聖書に登場する「ノアの箱舟」の痕跡をトルコで探す研究者らがレーダーを使って地下の空洞を発見した。 研究者らは「ノアの箱舟」が漂着したとされるアララト山が広がるトルコ東部のアグリ県で船の形をした岩層（全長157メートル）を調査している。 研究を率いるチェンケル・アティラ教授（トルコ、シヴァス大学）によると、この調査プロジェクトは6月28日に開始された。チームは3Dモデルを作成し、対象物のGPS座標を特定したという。チームは米空軍が使用するレーダーを用いて、地下構造物をスキャンしたところ、地層から多くの異常な空洞を発見したという。 研究チームはこれらの空洞が船の区画であった可能性があると考えている。また、船の甲板であった可能性を示す証拠も得られたとのこと。 チームは土壌サンプルも採取しており、合計約1000個のサンプルを収集する予定。これまでのところ、船とみられる構造物の内部は外部よりも40%多くの炭素を放出しており、有機物や木材の残骸が存在する可能性を示唆しているという。正確な結果は2～3か月後に判明するとのこと。 ノアの箱舟（方舟）は、旧約聖書の『創世記』に記される、人類の堕落と大洪水をテーマにした世界的に有名な神話。
