It is intuitively obvious that people who have the need to emphasise how “moral� and “kind� they are tend to not be very nice people. Have you ever been at a party where you have started chatting to someone who is “Woke.� Perhaps she is vegetarian, makes a point of purchasing organic food, signs petitions... Read More

Doctors in Ontario Canada are reportedly being advised to consider using psychiatric medicines on patients who refuse the vaccine. As the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, 31 years ago, it occurred to me that no one 50 years old and younger will realize the importance of the above news report. A 50 year old today... Read More

Right-o, George. Criminals should be (humanely) locked up in prisons away from law-abiding citizens. Mad people should be (humanely) locked up in asylums away from normal people. Homeless people should not be allowed to camp in public places. If mad, as is commonly the case, they should be locked up in asylums; if sane, they... Read More

Earlier by Ann Coulter: Register Maniacs, Not Guns: Mental Health Laws Let Loonies Wander Free For us non-Americans (I live in Finland), the relative frequency of the school shooting phenomenon in the U.S (notwithstanding mass shootings in Hungerford, Dunblane and Tasmania) is something that we associate with America, like very loud customers or morbid obesity....

Although differing slightly in approach and direction, Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time (1913–1927), with its focus on jealous paranoia, and Franz Kafka’s The Trial (1925), which emphasizes conspiracy-based paranoia, are...

I was going to draw attention to Joyce’s piece, which has already been republished by The Unz Review. Here is a... Read More

What is really needed in dealing with cannabis is a “tobacco moment�, as with cigarettes 50 years ago, when a majority of people became convinced that smoking might give them cancer and kill them. Since then the number of cigarette smokers in Britain has fallen by two-thirds. A depressing aspect of the present debate about... Read More

My son Henry was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was a 20-year-old art student in Brighton in 2002. He had tried to swim across the estuary at Newhaven that February and was rescued from the freezing water by fishermen and taken to hospital, unconscious and suffering from hypothermia. Henry was sectioned a year later and... Read More

Post updated, 10/21/14. See below! It's general trope in the HBD community: people are getting dumber.
