True Left

While most other left-leaning commentary has been becoming more pro-Russia day by day since the Iran war started, at least Hartmann has figured out who is the hidden boss in the Axis of Epstein:

Russia benefits as tensions rise and resources are allocated from Ukraine to the US-Iran War.

Woke comments:

never underestimate the Mosad and history with Russian KGB

RUSSIAN COLLUSION/ISRAEL

Duginist comment:

How much is AIPAC paying you Thom?

Duginists are currently working overtime to try to label all anti-Duginists as Zionists, in an attempt to obscure that anti-Duginism is in reality a necessity for serious anti-Zionism (which I had figured out more than a decade ago and Hitler had figured out more than a century ago).

JUST IN: Petri dish of human brain cells grown on a microchip has learned to play DOOM.

I myself never liked Doom. What I'd like to know is, when given a choice of various video games, which ones it spends more/less time playing.

Somebody save me from this nightmare..

I read somewhere that Chinese parents have this mindset due to generational poverty. While this may be true, and perhaps some parents genuinely only want their children not to suffer as they did, most of them use this as an excuse for their social climbing.This shows how poverty conditions reward social climbers, i.e how natural selection always favors the ignoble, as they are more likely to reproduce and be financially successful. I remember you talking about a similar analogy with those who reproduced during the black plague.

Professional occupations in general are viewed as having a high return-risk ratio, combining high income with low probability of redundancy. While this also applies to non-STEM professions (law, accountancy, etc.), STEM professions appear to be considered more prestigious due to general worship of Western science.

Doctors seem highly desired as marriage partners also. The Darwinian nepotist reason given is that the doctor can give the spouse and the offspring prompt medical attention, compared to households without a doctor whose members have to queue up at clinics. However, practitioners of non-Western medicine do not appear to benefit from this reasoning. On the contrary, non-Western medics get accused of infecting family members with diseases that they bring home after interacting with patients at work! This criticism (also reasonable) is yet not applied to Western medics!!
