Map of Spain PISA Results
•�December 12, 2019
•�200 Words •�195 Comments
Map of Spanish PISA results via /u/bulfcc on Reddit: As usual, clear N-S gradient, if not as steep as in Italy. Incidentally, the north is in demographic free-fall (2x deaths as births), while the south is stable (births~=deaths). Here's the data from 2018: Not good, but a predictable pattern. *** Thanks to another Twitter user... Read More
Barcelona's 700,000
•�October 3, 2017
•�200 Words •�149 Comments
If reports that 700,000 came out in Barcelona are accurate, then Spain in its current borders is likely done for. This is about as high a percentage of the Barcelona metropolitan area's 5.4 million as the 500,000 Ukrainians who came out at the height of Euromaidan in the 3.3 million Kiev conglomerate area - and...

The Catalonia Thread
•�October 1, 2017
•�900 Words •�148 Comments
Final results: YES: 90.1% NO: 7.9% Turnout: ~42% of those counted (2,262,424), ~56% if including the confiscated ballot boxes (~770,000) out of 5,343,358 registered voters. Assuming that the vote in "repressed" polling stations was similar, you can turnout * YES = ~51% support for independence, which tallies exactly with the last poll on the basis... Read More
Spanish Regional IQ and GRP Per Capita

Catalonia is richer and more intelligent than the Spanish average, but hardly any sort of huge outlier. Could economic reasons really explain that much of their drive for independence?

Da Russophile's Predictions for 2013
•�January 5, 2013
•�1,500 Words •�33 Comments
I just remembered I'd made some in 2012. It's time to see how they went, plus make predictions for the coming year. Of course I failed to predict the biggest thing of them all: The hacking that made me throw in the towel on Sublime Oblivion (remember that?), but with the silver lining that I... Read More
OPEN DISCUSSION: Russia's Economy In the Next Global Crisis
•�July 16, 2011
•�700 Words •�24 Comments
The response to the last global crisis only consisted of kicking the can further down the road, and the chickens are showing signs of coming home to roost. Of particular note: (1) the recent upwards spike on bond yields for Italy and Spain*; (2) The political paralysis in the US that may (conceivably, if unlikely)... Read More

About Anatoly Karlin

I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.

One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.

Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.
