Demography is destiny.
And to this whole exasperatingly stupid argument about how since animals do something it somehow means humans should do it to…
Animals kill and eat their young. Animals perform infanticide, matricide, fratricide. Chimps will arm themselves and wipe out other chimp tribes. Many animals will cannibalize their own. This is just a shorty little list, there’s far more.
The fact that animals do something is a meaningless red herring.
People that make these arguments are arguing that they are animals, not humans.
Be careful, if you want to be treated like animals, that day will come.

Not the man’s job to police the bedroom.
And I don’t believe that the nuclear family is everything.
People need to be conscious of the emptiness inside of them. If they look hard enough, the feeling of anxiety that comes of it is inescapable.
But this is to our benefit, this anxiety, contrary to what modernism will tell you.
In this modern world, we are so advanced that now we can fit ourselves into neat little categories and dwell that way for life, suppressing any way we can that gnawing sense of lack.
But any identity we don doesn’t last.
Heidegger’s Introduction to Metaphysics is so instructive as an introduction to the notion of identity he eventually elaborated on in a refined lecture.
Phusis, the emerging, abiding sway, is how being reveals itself from concealment. Modernists have translated this as nature, and so we notice that we have immediately strayed from an experience of phusis to the scientifically quantifiable and affixed.
What else but running away from this anxiety of experience in phusis could be the donning of static identities that trap us in everydayness?
Intro to Metaphysics has been a good start for me in understanding Heidegger or at least the attempt at following/charting his line of thinking. All the great thinkers, from Kierkegaard, to Wittgenstein, to Heidegger seem to write about this liberation from epistemology into something far more pressing and at-hand.
And Heidegger is a good writer to boot.
In a well-remembered passage from Intro to Metaphysics, Heidegger writes that he was sitting on a bench near the university lake or pond, and he notices the rowing team in good rowing pattern coming closer and moving past him as he was spectating.
He noticed a rower looking at him with a very strange look, at once completely absorbed by Heidegger’s presence. You know the scene: you catch a stranger staring at you and it is not necessarily sexual or the look from a predator. It is those moments of unconcealment that give us an inkling into experience as phusis, where you can see the face of another staring at you and experiencing you as the strange and unquantifiable.
If I can add anything else, it is that to run from our thrownness is a sad sad thing. You are not your job. You are not who you have sex with.
Derrida is also instructive on the prison of everydayness or modern epistemology, because he says that it makes us use assumptions and infer where delayed judgement is needed.
An example would be screwing up at work. You are a weak, effeminate and unprofessional from then on. Or, like Derrida says here, eating potato chips on camera: “you must be a fanatic of chips.”

Hubris check
Every perception the human body experiences is processed for 1.5 seconds by our animal selves before the “colored’ signal is passed to the cortex for further processing.
Humans know a little bit about the 5% of the universe called matter but zilch about the other 95$ that keeps all those atom things from collapsing in on themselves as the parts we know about zip around through the 95%.
The book The Dawn Of Everything by Graeber/Wengrow describes the 40K years of human social organization BEFORE the barbaric patriarchy that instantiated monotheistic religions came along….and stultified human evolution, IMO
The Western form of social organization has global private finance and ongoing inheritance of private property as the core tenets that set the tenor of the class structured society….The God Of Mammon cult as I call the rulers and their acolytes…..Pope Bob, King Chuck and ???

I hate to interrupt the ribald flirting — pretty much par for the course in this permanently out-of-control, off-all-topics thread. I thought perhaps my fellow barflies might appreciate a Candace update. So kind of me: I watch Candace so you don’t have to!
Larry Johnson initially spurred my interest in Candace over her fearless investigations of Epstein. In today’s column Johnson directs readers interested in Charlie Kirk developments to go see what Candace is digging up. Either she’s doing groundbreaking journalism, or Larry has as bad a crush on her as Aleph’s, or it might be a little of both.
Candace describes a frenzied crescendo of attacks as she refuses to stop asking questions about huge holes in the FBI lone-gay-gunman scenario. She cultivates a network of connections through her tip line, which has yielded more accurate, current info on Kirk’s murder than is available anywhere else. For instance: she got (for now, exclusive) access to a video filmed by a camera behind Kirk’s chair; she reports for the first time there’s apparently no exit wound — no blood visible behind.
What does that mean? For one thing, the bullet they’re looking for is something for the coroner to find. I’m ignorant of guns, myself. I’ve heard that a .30-06 round would have gone through the back of the tent.

In today’s column Johnson directs readers interested in Charlie Kirk developments to go see what Candace is digging up.

I recommend visiting a less high profile but very good analysis by “Signal Before Silence”
Who Killed Charlie Kirk? The Wound, The Weapon & Why The Official Lie
I think the hypothesis that is emerging is plausible, plus it explains the missing rifle with the person jumping off the roof. In short, my interpretation:
– Her analysis of the bullet trajectory from images and videos indicates entry from Kirk’s front left side (as seen by Kirk) and exit at the back of the neck. It seems to me the exit is on the same level or slightly above the entry. This is not compatible with a shot from the roof.
– Her analysis of images showing frantic activity to immediately remove cameras and erase virtually everything from the crime scene (including sones on the ground behind the tent) is a massive red flag pointing at pre-planned operation involving many people.
– In my current opinion, the most likely scenario is a gun mounted on one of the heavier camera tripods just in front of Kirk, with a camera allowing for remote controlled aiming and firing. The shot through the neck was not a miss, it was deliberate and easy.
– The apparent sound of a rifle coming from the roof ~200m away is explained by the guy on the roof with some device creating the sound of a rifle, in coordination with the remote controlled gun. This scenario also explains why no gun can be seen when he jumps off the roof, because he didn’t have a gun, but instead some smaller device making the sound of a rifle based on a radio signal that also triggered the real gun.
– The “Signal Before Silence” analysis shows many people behaving very suspiciously at the crime scenes immediately after the murder, one person may be seen removing the remote controlled gun.
– The repeated public denial from Netanyahu….

RE: the tea Candace keeps spilling grows more & more interesting
<<
It’s as if we’ve been MK Ultra-ed to the max, but done on the cheap this time: we’re not being dosed with a psychotropic agent stronger than propagandized bamboozlement. There’s no Orange Sunshine.
Being MK Ultra-ed to the max means one must completely turn one’s back on the reality of Charlie Kirk's assassination and embrace increasingly delusional interpretations of the event that appear loopily divorced from physical evidence.
The “leftist lunatic” is part of a script used to distract us in a sequential fashion, like an unfolding series of new but inconsequential revelations, doled out in dribs & drabs that keep us from realizing that the professional sniper who killed Charlie is long gone now, completely out of reach.
The script unfolded like this:
First, came the Mauser rifle, found wrapped in a towel in a “wooded area,” a left-behind screwdriver lying nearby suggesting dismantlement.
Next, came the ammo cartridges on which were engraved messages that appeared to reference transgender issues, also antifa messages.
After that, the sweeping footage of a lanky indistinct figure running across a roof, then climbing down part of the building before dropping 12 feet from a ledge to the ground below. Unlike John Wilkes Booth, who also jumped after his bullet found its mark, this alleged assassin does not break his leg. He runs across a grassy swathe and out of range of the surveillance camera.
As if in an artist’s rendering of an architectural structure on a college campus, which will one day be used as a sniper’s nest, random generic pedestrians walk within the radius of the surveillance camera’s lens, nonchalant and normal, their gait unhurried as they stroll by, while in a backdrop to the placid foregrounded scene an alleged sniper creeps stealthily away.
Before the script doled out these tidbits over the course of 30 hours, as if establishing the markers of the crime—-the Stations of the Cross if you will of how the assassination of Charlie Kirk went down—-the FBI detained and questioned two suspects. The first was released after about 90 minutes. Then came the second suspect. Ditto: interrogated and released.
Both detentions ate up valuable time and signaled a Target Fixation on swiftly nailing someone/anyone. The actual sniper’s trail had already gone cold once the second Person of Interest was let go.
The FBI released photos of the alleged assassin. We saw a slender face hidden largely under the brim of a ball cap and often turned to one side so as to nullify a strong impression.
It was like looking at an AI-manufactured photo of a generic-someone/anyone who did not actually exist. Sometimes we saw the alleged assassin in a stairwell, going up the stairs, sometimes going down.
On cue at this point, the nytimes began to bash the FBI’s handling of the case: “Whether Kash Patel can overcome his early stumbles in the Kirk investigation remains to be seen. The F.B.I. director’s actions have already invited scorn and scrutiny from the bureau’s work force, and some senior officials at the Justice Department, who think his behavior has eroded public confidence in the F.B.I.”
Meanwhile, a father in Utah had already persuaded his son to turn himself in to a state marshal.
Next came the lengthy text message thread, which also felt scripted or *written* in order to reinforce a narrative about the assassin which was shaping up: leftist lunatic kills Charlie in order to protect his transitioning beloved from Charlie’s political project.
Weirdly, the alleged assassin’s portions of the text messages were markedly verbose & gabby: thick w/ explanations, strangely dense when one considers the snippets typical of the text message genre.
The FBI continued to release info in dribs & drabs: that the alleged assassin arrived at the Utah college campus in *one* set of clothes but then changed to his *sniper-on-the-roof clothes* and then changed back to the original clothes.
The Mauser rifle found stashed in the “wooded area” fires 30-06 rounds, which are more than 3-inches long, the kind of ammo used to take down elk & other large game. It typically doles out massive damage. Candace’s research leads her to surmise that the Mauser rifle found in the “wooded area” can’t have been the sniper’s rifle because the bullet which took Charlie’s life did not produce the expected damage.
Since the FBI’s info continues to come out in dribs & drabs, we still don’t know if a ballistic test has happened. We don’t know if the FBI has matched the killing round to the Mauser rifle.
Candace is bull-dogging this.

She became famous for many catchphrases, such as “a 360-degree turn.”
As for her, one EU representative told me how she came to a meeting with her European colleagues, and they asked her what her priorities at the UN were. She told them: “My priorities at the UN are that member states do not speak for more than three minutes from the General Assembly podium.”

Of course Israel’s defence comes first, and the invasion of Venezuela is on the cards as well so, and probably one or two other Central and South American countries as well. The American taxpayer is getting screwed out of cash at every turn.
“The US has ‘quietly’ paused sales of certain weapons to its European allies, The Atlantic has reported. The Trump administration is seeking to stockpile arms as part of its ‘America First’ agenda.
Washington has provided Kiev with over $67 billion in arms and military assistance since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Most of the deliveries were made under the administration of former US President Joe Biden.
The Pentagon has now identified some weapons as being in short supply and is moving to block new requests for those systems from NATO countries, the outlet said in an article on Friday.
The unnamed current and former US administration officials who spoke to The Atlantic could not say how long the hold will last or name the exact hardware on the list.
According to the report, the first evidence of a shift in policy was the Pentagon’s recent decision not to go ahead with the sale of “a multibillion-dollar” Patriot air-defense system to Denmark, despite US and French negotiators previously pressuring Copenhagen to make the purchase.”

Trump is desperate to made some sort of good deal with China’s Xi – so he’s paused, or halted a weapons deal with Taiwan, to try and get better terms from Xi.
“US President Donald Trump has refused to approve a weapons package for Taiwan, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing five people familiar with the matter.
The Post linked the decision to Trump’s efforts to negotiate a trade deal with Beijing and his potential meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which is expected to take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit in South Korea next month.
The weapons deal, reportedly worth more than $400 million, had been described as “more lethal” than previous deliveries. According to the Post, Trump’s team believes Taiwan should purchase its own weapons, reflecting the president’s “transactional” approach to foreign policy. A White House official told the outlet that the decision has not yet been finalized.”

Van Jones on the call for “hate speech” laws after Kirk’s assassination:

Hold up! Wait a minute!
That’s NOT the way Charlie Kirk handled disagreement. Not at all.
When our public dispute started going sideways, what was Kirk’s response?
He pushed for more conversation, not more silencing or censorship.
He pushed for more civility, not more stridency or venom.
Whatever you think of Kirk’s legacy, that simple fact is commendable — and it’s something that everyone should uphold and seek to replicate.
If you are on the Right, please don’t give up on open debate and dialogue. Charlie didn’t. I won’t. And I make the same plea to folks on the Left.
