As a black man, I've come to realize that my upbringing is the biggest obstacle in my life...not 'racism'. That's why I started the #FocusOnUpbringing campaign.

My framework on how upbringing shapes civilisation:
Upbringing → Capacity → Aptitude → Incentives → Governance → Civilisation outcomes
It's a pipeline that shows how human potential is converted into collective progress.
Upbringing builds the capacity to use whatever gifts people have. It shapes mental bandwidth, agency, self-control, work ethic, confidence, trust, and the ability to cooperate toward long-term goals.
Some people credit white people's high IQ for why they've contributed most to civilization. But if white people had inferior upbringing - parenting, education, culture - would their intellect get expressed at scale? I think not.
The question is: what conditions produce high-capacity people and high-trust societies?
If non-Western societies adopt and scale superior upbringings, they can unlock massive capacity, build their own prosperous, innovative nations like the West did - and reduce the push factors driving mass immigration.
Civilisation is not magic. It is produced through a pipeline. Strengthen the early links, and you change the outcomes downstream. Weak links early on cap everything downstream - no matter the raw talent.
Thoughts? Feedback welcome.
Draft framework v0.1 attached below.

Concerns about water & power are real—and need to be addressed—but understand that every time you see a tweet that data centers are destroying the world…
…that the Chinese communists are spending millions trying to convince you to believe that.

Michelle had only two kids. She was rich and famous for most of their childhoods so she would have had a fleet of nannies and assistants doing most of the grunt work. And yet she still couldn’t wait for the kids to leave because the minor demands they made on her time and energy were still too much for her. Just a total raging narcissist.

🚨 President Trump explains his VISION behind opening a new national academy, the US Space Force Academy
POTUS wants it to be used to train both Space Force Guardians AND NASA team members, as we create settlements on the moon and beyond 🚀
"It's clear that we will need to educate and train an entire generation of skilled service members, engineers, civil operators, and everything else, to do what we have to do.
We're the best, and will continue by LEAPS AND BOUNDS."

NEW: President Trump announces NASA is working on a nuclear-powered interplanetary spacecraft set to launch on a mission to Mars in 2028.
"This ship will be among the first of what will ultimately be a massive American Star fleet, making space travel almost as common as ocean travel today."

🚨 THIS IS ABOUT TO BREAK THE INTERNET
Elon Musk just dropped the most insane Neuralink news yet:
“In the next 6 to 12 months we’re implanting the first vision chips. Even if you were born 100% blind, we’ll write straight to your visual cortex… and you’ll SEE.”
And that’s just the appetizer. Long term: ultra HD resolution + actual superpowers. You’ll see in infrared, ultraviolet, even radar. Literally like a superhero.
The future isn’t science fiction anymore.
It’s Neuralink.
And it’s right around the corner.

.@ElonMusk : “The amount of indoctrination happening in schools and universities is far beyond what parents realize. Kids today are having a completely different experience than we did.” God bless Elon for calling this out.

What if Russian troops invade, but do it via boat, so we have to help them in and put them up in hotels? Will we just update the leaflet to include "try not to conquer Britain"?
And what if the Russian troops all have British values? Under the rules of civic nationalism, that would make them just as British as anyone. Any military action taken by Britain against the Russian troops would then be a racist hate crime against British people.

Friendly reminder to the young people and their new infatuation with communism👇👇👇👇👇🇺🇸✅

It is not racist to want Britain to remain British. This is our country. We have a right to defend our borders, our culture, our communities and our way of life.
Politicians who are ashamed to say that have no business governing us. 🇬🇧
An islamic terrorist murdered 3 children at a dance class in Southport, UK. A liberal woman murdered her 3 children in the US. What does this tell us about the emerging alliance between islamists & liberal women in the West?

Mommy, I can’t breathe.”
Everybody’s got a fucking voice for the mother. Everybody’s got an opinion about the father.
Meanwhile, three little voices are permanently fucking silent.
So miss me with every excuse that forgets who paid the ultimate price.
Cora. Dawson. Callan.
They don’t get to tell their side.
