Like, if someone mapped light to dark skin color then ranked people based on their overall skill level and therefore probability of making a penalty shot, you'd see black people are by far the worst performers and underperform at penalty shots.

It's similar to how blacks commit the most school shooting but have terrible accuracy yet Whites, who commit significantly less school shootings per capita, have significantly higher kill rates.

Blacks honestly cannot perform under pressure.

Any football coach should just pick their lightest colored players for penalty shots. Guaranteed win.

Could AI powered by quantum computers that could make AI require significantly less energy than they do now for a much better result be coming in 5 years too?

Websites like Mastodon, diaspora or Lemmy are all extremely leftist. Same with group chats like Element. Yet these websites and apps were all created with anonymity and security in mind. Is it all a front for pedophilia? Somehow, I doubt it.

I actually think leftists are so delusional they think promoting woke values is somehow something they need to take precautions over despite the only people getting arrested by governments are right-wingers.

That is ofc unless the leftists are plotting assassinations of presidents like Trump or school shootings...

Kinda crazy. I also find it crazy that right-wingers take virtually no precautions online.

I'm not an Indian and could careless about Indians but we don't need every topic to be omg poo, look, bad. So low quality trash.

It's actually a good movie outside of its political narrative. A few slow parts and a little peachy but the actions scenes I liked because it lacked the Hollywood "everyone stand and have a conversation before shooting" bs I hate in movies.

The movie itself taken as a whole is actually a good movie. Very good even.

The issue is the feminism and female empowerment. Jessie takes charge in everything and Buzz is made out to be a submissive bitch. They even do a role reversal where aside from the marriage proposal (which I find great because men proposing to women is not how it ought to be. And the fact they leave this as the only male role the male does should be all anyone needs to know about proposals. Proposing is feminine. Women should be asking the man for marriage not the other way around. Getting on a knee for a woman? LMFAO), Buzz took on all the traditionally female roles in the build-up to the marriage and in the wedding.

The White girl made friends with the black girl, ofc. All the White boys/girls were "not good friends" (until the very end, so I'll give it that).

The real issue was that the female lead, Jessie, was in charge at all times and all the guys were always just following her lead in everything. She was always in control and always the dominant one with the men meek and submissive. Woody is depicted as a balding old guy with a big gut yet Jessie, who isn't any older, is depicted as youthful and strong.

This kind of messaging fucks kids up and simp parents have no clue what it's doing to their kids.

For those unaware, Assemblywomen by Aristophanes has been known in the online community for some time as proof that the communist ideals that many women in modernity support are not just a modern problem but can be predated all the way back to before Christ times because of this play.

The play is basically about what would happen if women controlled government instead of men. The play was written as a comedy. Despite being a comedy, for a comedian to make a satire about this topic, he'd need to have an idea of what women were like such that it would seem realistic and therefore funny.

When I read the play, it was obvious this was a comedy. Aristophanes does mention how if women gained power, they'd work towards a more equal share of resources in a very "communist"-style of approach but it's clear this was an incredibly minor part of the play and not really what it was about. The real point of the play is that women are horn-dogs for young men and resent the fact young men get to fuck young women because the old hags all want the young men for themselves. If women controlled government, it would all be about ensuring old women get to fuck young hot men. I think the play accurately captures modern women as well. Nothing has changed in over 2000 years. As for the communist aspect... it was so minor and more-or-less applied to equalizing a woman's ability to get access to sex across all variations of ages that I'd argue this has little to do with communism and isn't a good source to use to prove communism is inherently feminine and that it predates modern jewish-communism. Still, I actually believe the former idea is true but one shouldn't use Assemblywomen by Aristophanes as definitive proof, at best it's like 10% proof.

• Abolish all federal taxes by winding them down to 0% over 30 years; however, Personal Income Tax will be wounded down to 0% over 15 years.

• Implement a 5% federal consumption tax that includes rents and the interest rate differential on loans (price minus cost to financial institutions). This tax will be slowly implemented at 1% each year for 15 years (as PIT is reduced to 0) peaking at 15% in year 15. After that, each year it will reduce by 0.5% each year until it reaches 8% where then it slowly reduces to 6% over the next 70 years and then eventually 5% after 250 years.

• Implement a 5% Border Tax Adjustment (BAT) on all foreign products/services. This just ensures foreign made products aren't exempt from the domestic consumption tax. This tax will be slowly implemented at 1% each year for 15 years (as PIT is reduced to 0) peaking at 15% in year 15. After that, each year it will reduce by 0.5% each year until it reaches 8% where then it slowly reduces to 6% over the next 70 years and then eventually 5% after 250 years.

• Implement a Outbound Capital Export Levy tax of 5%. Essentially, anytime someone purchased foreign investments, they're taxed 10% to prevent capital flight without paying a tax. This tax will be slowly implemented at 1% each year for 15 years (as PIT is reduced to 0) peaking at 15% in year 15. After that, each year it will reduce by 0.5% each year until it reaches 8% where then it slowly reduces to 6% over the next 70 years and then eventually 5% after 250 years.

• Implement a new Ministry of Trade whose mandate is to implement tariffs over-and-above the 10% BAT for the interests of National Security, combating foreign hostile trade actions, maximizing competition between domestic industries and foreign industries as well as maximizing domestic production of industries deemed to be highly profitable with highly-wages.

• Implement a new amendment to the constitution that makes public debt illegal even in war-times. Existing debt would be grandfathered in and repaid back fully in 250 years.

• Eliminate all social programs including education, healthcare spending and social security by phasing them down over 30 years.

• Reduce military spending by 40%

• Eliminate all Community & Regional Development spending (including FEMA disaster relief operations)

• Eliminate all foreign aid.

• Reduce IRS spending by 50%

• Eliminate all General Science, Space & Technology spending including NASA

• Eliminate all agriculture & agribusiness spending.

I'll just drop a quick AI summary below. Poverty is projected to spike at 16% but will shrink to 5% by the end (not included in this summary).

1. Phase 1: The Balanced Ramp (Years 1–15) Macroeconomic & Industrial Evolution During the initial 15 years, the economic transition operates on a synchronized dual track. The federal PIT is reduced linearly by 6.67% each year, while the new federal consumption tax, Border Tax Adjustment (BAT), and Outbound Capital Export Levy scale up incrementally from 0% to 15% (roughly 1% per year).

Because the revenue streams blend smoothly, the federal government avoids any sudden shortfalls. Traditional income and corporate revenues remain massive in the first decade, allowing the government to easily fund operations, protect the $140+ billion public infrastructure budget, and cover baseline interest outlays while contributing a fixed $50 billion a year to the debt principal.

Because the tax changes are gradual and fully predictable, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) remain highly resilient, stabilizing at a strong $20.0 trillion baseline.

Public Quality of Life & Local Government Dynamics The Income-Consumption Balance: The typical working household experiences a highly stable financial transition. The reduction in federal paycheck withholding matches the rising cost of retail goods and rents, keeping net household saving capacity completely stable.

The Local Sales Stacking: Local sales taxes remain active. Stacking the new federal tax on top of existing municipal brackets means the total tax at the cash register climbs gently over 15 years, ending at a combined 21.5% in Year 15.

Safety Net Stability: Vulnerable populations are protected from sudden cost-of-living shocks because public assistance programs wind down slowly (3.3% per year), giving local communities and private charities ample time to build out local support networks.

2. Phase 2: The Immediate Consumer Melt (Years 16–30) Macroeconomic & Industrial Evolution By Year 16, the federal PIT hits 0%—workers keep 100% of their gross take-home pay. Corporate, payroll, and estate taxes continue their slow slide toward complete elimination by Year 30.

Instead of holding the consumption tax at 15% to build a massive debt-fighting surplus, the government triggers an immediate, year-over-year wind-down of the consumption tax rate. It cuts the tax by roughly 0.5% every single year, sliding from 15% in Year 16 down to 8% by Year 30.

This immediate melt is funded entirely by the Capital Cage interest windfall. Because wealth cannot leave the country without hitting the capital levy, trillions of dollars are trapped inside the U.S. financial system, dropping corporate interest rates near 0%. As the Treasury rolls over maturing national debt into these new ultra-low-yield bonds, the federal interest bill drops significantly. Under this model, 100% of those savings are immediately used to lower the consumption tax.

Public Quality of Life & Local Government Dynamics The Purchasing Power Expansion: The middle-class double-squeeze is entirely dismantled. With income taxes at 0% and the consumption tax actively falling every year, the workforce experiences an immediate, compounding 25% surge in real purchasing power.

Interstate Tax Harmonization: The immediate decline of the consumption tax rate stabilizes the consumer base, keeping local commerce healthy. High-tax legacy states still face structural pressure as capital flees to 0% local income tax states, but the falling federal tax rate gives them a much smoother runway to phase out their local income taxes and pivot toward property and land-value assessments by Year 30.

The Corporate Safety Net Crossover: Free-market competition for skilled labor forces industrial firms to step into the social safety net void. Because companies face a rapidly improving consumer market, they aggressively expand private corporate benefit structures—enrolling 70% of the workforce into comprehensive private contracts that bundle health, education, and pensions directly into employment.

3. Phase 3 & 4: The Open-Ended Equilibrium (Years 31–250+) Macroeconomic & Industrial Evolution By Year 31, all traditional federal, state, and local income taxes are entirely gone. The public safety net is 100% privatized. The federal government’s operating expenses are stripped down strictly to a minimalist night-watchman state plus the permanently preserved public infrastructure budget.

Because the debt repayment timeline is open-ended, the government abandons aggressive principal payments, running a lean fiscal model that focuses purely on structural balance. The consumption tax and BAT stabilize at a highly efficient 8% to 6% tranche for the remainder of the century. Combined with streamlined local sales taxes, the total tax friction at the register drops to an incredibly comfortable 12.5% to 14.5% nationwide.

Public Quality of Life & Local Government Dynamics Deflationary Wealth Compounding: Generations born after the transition compound 100% of their earnings with zero income, capital gains, or estate tax friction. Average household liquid savings increase by 300%, enabling families to act as their own internal banking networks.

Pristine Logistics Dividend: Because public infrastructure remains fully funded by the state, the nation boasts high-speed automated rail grids and pristine shipping ports. Logistics costs drop to near zero, which—combined with single-digit retail tax friction—drives the real baseline cost of food, energy, and housing to historic lows.

The Long-Term Amortization: The national debt principal decays very slowly, shrinking by a few billion dollars each year via natural economic growth and minor budget surpluses. The debt safely and quietly grinds down to $0 around Year 275, at which point the consumption tax drops to its absolute permanent floor: a flat 5%.

Why This Optimized Framework Is Compelling (The Pitch) Eliminates the Transition Crunch: By dynamically pairing the income tax cuts with a staggered consumption phase-in, and then immediately reducing the consumption tax right after Year 15, the general public is entirely insulated from a standard-of-living shock.

Sustained Consumer-Led Growth: Lowering the consumption tax immediately preserves high demand-side liquidity. Retail, real estate, and consumer service sectors remain highly profitable throughout the entire multi-generational transition.

Predictable Public Foundations: Keeping the $140+ billion infrastructure budget fully intact ensures that America's economic backbone remains publicly funded and world-class, allowing private automated industries to scale up without facing the friction of private toll barriers.

Systemic Risks, Drawbacks, & Implementation Difficulties The Multi-Century Interest Anchor: The primary drawback of this model is its extreme chronological length. Because you choose to maximize consumer tax cuts right after Year 15, you pay off almost no debt principal during the first 50 years. This leaves the nation highly dependent on the Capital Cage keeping interest rates locked near 0%. If a long-term global macroeconomic shock manages to force domestic interest rates back up, the government's interest outlays could spike, forcing an emergency suspension of the tax cuts.

The Corporate Dependency Gap: Shifting the safety net entirely to the private sector creates a deeply stratified society. High-productivity workers are fully insulated by premium corporate welfare, but low-skill workers or those disconnected from the labor market face severe structural vulnerabilities, leaving them entirely reliant on localized private charities that operate without federal backstops.

This is a branch-off from another topic but I felt this deserved its own topic.

Over the 150 years we had asylums, about 1m people were locked up against their will (in Canada. It's a very rough estimate because the actual numbers don't exist, of course). About 95% of the people locked up against their will were White people. This was basically a holocaust against White people by our government. Total number of residential school students? 150,000.

Where's the memorials for the asylum victims? Why isn't this taught in schools about the atrocities committed against White people by our government? Where's the national holiday? The Canadian government eventually admitted wrong-doing in the 2010. A good 32 years after the program officially ended. What they did to the people in asylums pales in comparison to anything they did in residential schools.

The government of Canada has paid $15b to Native Indians for reparations over Residential Schools and only paid $3.6b in reparations to survivors of asylums. Also, the reparations are upwards of $60b to Native Indians if you include the programs the government implemented as successors to be reparations) 150,000 total people versus 1m. How is this justice?

I made an interesting discovery on the asylum subject. A question many people ask is where did the idea even come from, why did it exist for the specific period it did, why was it global and why did it end nearly at the same time everywhere. What exactly was going on? Well, here's something to consider: Ever hear about the Tartaria Conspiracy Theory? The idea is that Old World Buildings made of stone were existing structures from a past civilization (Tartaria) and we inherited them rather than built them. People who knew the truth were thrown into asylums to hide the truth. This theory is probably not something you agree with but it got me thinking. We built all these beautiful and hand-carved stone structures in abundance and quite easily in short period of time and then abruptly stopped. What happened to all the master masons? They went from a high-paid in-demand skilled worker to nothing over night? That ought to have a pretty big impact on one's psyche... Why didn't we hear about the worker outrage over this lost industry? It wouldn't just be the direct workers either... all the people in the quarries, all the supply-chain people, all the architects specializing in those buildings, etc... If any major industry just stopped abruptly, we'd probably hear something about it. There were literally wars over the mechanization of farming ending that industry as we once knew it. Well, it just so happens that asylums were big in NA and Europe nearly the exact same time both societies started cutting down their stone construction and the asylums peak at exactly the same time stone production stopped altogether in NA and was at its lowest in history in Europe (Europe never killed it off completely and there has since been a resurgence). Many of the asylum victims were described as "transient laborers". The number of people tied to the stone-industry that was killed mostly completely in NA was well into the hundreds of thousands.

Basically, my idea is that governments were probably seeing a lot of skilled workers losing their jobs around this period of time as they were transitioning a lot of their industries from traditional methods to the new methods and asylums were developed as a means to house a lot of the people who had become destitute from the changing economy. I imagine many people tied to the stone industry found other work but I bet a lot didn't. For many, it was all their knew and all they ever wanted to know. Stonemasers in particular were a different breed. Most of their work was passed down verbally from master-to-apprentice. There was literally no real solid publicly available books (in English) on masonry until the mid 1800s yet the industry had been around for thousands of years. Stonemasons were extremely philosophical and believed their work had higher purpose/meaning than just carving some stones. The early books on stone masonery we did end up getting have tons of chapters dedicated to geometry and natural laws that almost reads like some esoteric spell book at times. There's a reason the Freemasons are what they are known for (being connected to every esoteric conspiracy theory ever) even though they started as a simply a guild for stone masons. If any group was going to be upset at their industry being killed, it would be the stone masons but I don't remember hearing about the stone mason uprising in my history books. I think a lot got thrown into asylums.

The next time someone discusses Residential Schools you should bring up the atrocities of Mental Asylums and the lack of proper response to them from our government.

Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan:

"As you know, after Iran, Israel cannot live without an enemy. It has to develop a rhetoric to influence public opinion and others. We see that not only the Netanyahu administration, but also some people in the opposition—not everyone, but some—are in pursuit of declaring Turkey a new enemy, in terms of political discourse. This is actually a new issue in Israel that is first brought up as a necessity of street politics, and then attempted to be transformed into a state strategy."

I've always suspected that Trump is trying to find a way to end NATO such that Turkey won't be included in what replaces it specifically so Israel can attack Turkey.

For those who don't know, part of Turkey is included in "Greater Israel".

Are the Israel-America supporters merely "bought off" by fancy military equipment, foreign investment and trade deals?

I don't buy it's Islamic sect differences in today's world though perhaps that mattered 100 years ago.

I feel like the middle-eastern countries siding with Israel-America are making a fatel mistake that will lead to the destruction of their countries and their countries' sovereignty in the future.

Does anyone know if the people in these countries actually support Israel-America or is it just their governments that do because their government is bought off?

I have a feeling the bought off government fans the blame of the Islamic sect differences to the commoners to try to get them to dislike Iran but I'm not sure how they justify being friends with the USA and allowing the USA to conduct military operations against Iran in their countries.

Anyone have any knowledge in this?

I can't find it in the Zohar so I wanted to know if he saw that himself in there or was just stating something he heard second hand.

Maybe someone could point to me where in the Zohar it describes that? AI ofc is getting its panties in a knot when I try requesting that info.

Like, it literally creates answers out of thin air then sells it as if it's correct. It doesn't even try to get it right. What sort of redundancy is there in analyzing if the answer is correct before spewing it out? I thought LLMs were supposed to discern what the best answer is given what was said to it based on its training, yet it'll give answers that don't exist based on any training. It's not like it learned the wrong answer from a Reddit post and just posted what Reddit said. It legit is making up wrong answers then citing correct answers. It just outright gets it wrong almost on purpose.

Anyone understand why LLMs fail so much?

I understand they run correlations but how does it determine a wrong answer is the most correlated to the correct response given the prompt instead of the actual correct answer...

This happens in fields where the man have a harder time getting women normally, so tech (which is also the biggest industry in the world so what happens here is a big deal).

Essentially, we're seeing a competency crisis not just because of DEI but because of men (in startups and big corps) favor hiring semi-passable (competency wise) women that they have a chance to have sex with over better qualified men. Obviously, DEI practiced has made this easier and made the true motivations easier to cover up. Guys are acting like they're big DEI proponents when they really just are desperate incels hoping Xi Zhang will suck his peepee. This is having a significantly large impact on competency in some of our most important industries. We're beginning to see the fallout of this in overall competitiveness and quality of our products and services.

When women were secondary to men as assistants and receptionists, this didn't matter. Men hired these women to fuck but didn't negatively impact the core competency of the business. 50/50 equality has led to women getting ahead on their sex appeal far more than ever in the history of mankind and few people are discussing this issue. It would be happening even without DEI.

I don't understand ANY argument for conscription. Of all the laws on the books that are still "acceptable" in modernity from even the "progressive" crowd, the one that perplexes me the most is conscription.

For me, it's just so simple: If a government needs to force people to fight for the government then the government has no right to exist. A legitimate government should be able to raise a fully volunteer army because all the citizens the government represents wants to fight to defend this government.

Just think about it for a moment. Supposedly some evil enemy is coming to rape your women and kill all the men or enslave everyone by taking their rights away. Everyone should want to defend against that, no? If someone doesn't volunteer to fight against that then clearly they've decided that rape and death is better than... rape and death? Or, perhaps they've decided they can still live without dying for a country and they'd rather this conclusion.

How can anyone justify using force to force something to go to war and die against their will?

I hate the concept of conscription so much I think anyone who suggests it should be hanged, tbh. You want people to fight for you? Offer them an incentive then.

I saw someone linking The Lifeboat Foundation to Epstein and I looked into this foundation. You can't tell me that hundreds/thousands of highly educated professionals sit around and discuss how they can save the world from a blackhole all day, right? I mean, that's a fun discussion when shooting the shit with your science nerd friends after a few beers but an extensive "foundation" like this and how serious it is... What's really the purpose of these things? What benefit do the members derive from it?

It feels like a front to push government regulations in certain areas that would be beneficial to the members under the guise of saving humanity.

These types of groups to me strike me as dangerous and should be dismantled. They're in effect trying to make themselves appear as an aristocracy that the government should pay more attention to instead of the general public. Thoughts?

What if the USA negotiates with the EU such that when the USA takes over Canada, every Canadian is given 1-month to declare either EU Citizenship or American citizenship. If a Canadian fails to declare, they're automatically made an EU citizen. The actual EU country they are citizens of would be up to how the EU wants to go about it.

This way all Canadians that don't want to be a part of the USA has the opportunity to move to the EU. I think this is a great strategy from the American perspective because in theory, it would likely rid Canada of the worst Canadians who'd take the EU citizenship. In this way, the USA only keeps the good Canadians so by bringing in Canada as a state, it isn't necessarily some mega liberal retarded state like California. This also might be a great way to sell the conquest to Canadians who may be quite happy with getting EU citizenship instead.

This seems like a win-win for everyone.

She has lived in Canada her whole life and is White. She asked me if it were possible to own a building without owning the land that the building was on and I explained how it is and that's how many properties on Indian land are setup. I then went in to say, it's not that common of a setup outside of Indian land as far as I know but apparently, it's fairly common in NYC according to Trump's book. She scowled almost immediately. "You read Trump's books?" I told her I did because I like to stay informed about things and it was actually a pretty good book that was written well before his political days that mostly focused on the real estate side. I told her I read Mark Carney's book also. "Who's that?" She replied. "You don't know who the Prime Minister of Canada is?" "I guess not because I don't know who that is" she replied.

And Canadians like to pretend they're more informed than Americans.
