the introduction of nuclear weapons is the best example of the black swan you’re ever going to find. the probability of war between major powers is lower than ever but the possible /consequences\ are… vertiginous
so other virus(es) account for homosexual behaviors in all the various animal species known to display it as well as people? i dont think the virus theory is quite as parsimonious as you claim
the meta-fer is extremely apt, if one remembers those old LOONY TUNES cartoons
“Henery Hawk was a cartoon character created by Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson in the Looney Tunes series. The premise of this character was that he was too young to know what a chicken was and hence, although having a great deal of energy, was easily tricked into thinking that other animals (usually the Barnyard Dawg or Sylvester) were chickens.”

there is a third and under-acknowledged driver of the japanese surrender: the total naval blockade of the home islands. extensive submarine warfare crippled japans ability to arm and feed itself well before then, and was far more influential on the juntas decision making than any and all aerial bombardment.
there is a strong argument to be made that the psychological impact of nuclear weapons was far greater than their raw power. but both japan and the united states had good reasons for assigning the atom bombings an outsized role in events
off-topic but serious question: how long would it take south korea to develop nuclear capabilities, given it had the will / political ect. to do so? ive seen serious analyses that place germany, japan and some of the nordics in the category of ‘a few months to a half-year’. are the sorks there too?
Yes.

in a way this dumb broad aint wrong: if you WERE a foreign enemy trying to inflict maximum carnage, the coronavirus followed immediately by the race riots (…right as the lockdowns were lifting…) could you do any better than this kind of 1-2 knockout combo?
i would like to state a simple political science problem i have for the dear readership of my friends in the unz community:
i feel lost in the racial debate that rages through our civil society, such as it is (and indeed it is in a parlous state!) i feel like the racial-realist, human evolution biological +/- socio-cultural-assortive-mating ‘conservative’ crowd make a lot of extremely… pointed… points about our ethnoracial tensions and their origins. the left-liberal-progressive axis has no rejoinder i have heard save emotional ragey denials, and i have sadly explored a lot of left-liberal-open-minded-agreeable opinion on the matter. so here is my deal: the left denies the existence of h. sapiens as she stands, and the right seems to smugly assert the fact of the matter without proposing some form of effective remedy!
so, taking racial statistical correlates as they are, and observing that the phenomenon emerges (to an extent) from the generative process… what should be done for the benefit of our african-american brothers and sisters? what changes to our democracy and society (such as she stands) would you propose for their benefit and that of the nation?

firstly: mr. putin elided the real meat of molotov-ribbentrop as well as the winter war. needless to say, stalin’s USSR was not exactly a force for world peace in the pre-war years. he also neglected consideration of just how catastrophically stalin failed to prepare for the german invasion.
…and there is a reason, nobody wants to address, why the invasion forces were met with open arms… until their genocidal intentions became clear. (side note: how do the holocaust deniers deal with the fact the nazis wholeheartedly embraced the extermination of homosexuals, politically ‘unreliable’ GERMAN individuals, the whole of the SA, the slavs, the gypsies AND the poles… but somehow think european jewry was hitler’s prime target AND yet not actually killed?!?)
secondly: what a gosh-darned treat to read an essay of real significance from a world leader! it really is clarifying to see the world from anothers perspective. i hate to say it but im envious. russia had its awful interregnum earlier than most, which seemed like a curse but in actuality seems to be a cliodynamic asset now. the lord works in mysterious ways.

The huge living room contains not a stick of furniture. The fridge holds mostly Gatorade, muffins, and frozen snacks; Unz, a 37-year-old bachelor, eats half his meals at Burger King. He sleeps on a mattress on the floor. The bathrooms are dirty, and the dust is thick. There’s no one who comes in to clean, no photos on display, and no escaping the thought that a well-heeled businessman has to have a screw loose to live this way…
As usual, Unz has been up since five a.m., reading three newspapers and scrolling others online. At six-thirty, he dons a Walkman with his favorite Neil Diamond tape for his mile-and-a-half constitutional to Burger King, where, over coffee, he scans three more papers from the out-of-town stand next door.

A bachelor, he takes his meals at Burger King and has no hobbies, though he occasionally enjoys a walk through downtown Palo Alto, with a Neil Diamond tape playing over and over again on a stereo headset.
He drives a dusty Nissan Sentra and has yet to fully furnish his spacious Spanish-style home, purchased in 1992. Until recently, he owned only one suit, which he repeatedly patched throughout the Proposition 227 campaign–“until the holes simply became too big.”
its almost like the guy cares more about his work and his country than being fashionable. go figure!

i think ron’s hypothesis that the corona was a bioweapon that got spectacularly out of control is more credible than the idea the whole shabang is an information op. look at a REAL information op; ‘russiagate’. hardly a masterwork of planning and execution, nu?
And yet it got about half the population to believe it. There are liberal suburban housewives who refer to Mitch McConnell as "Moscow Mitch".

ive got another observation for you: slack stopped expanding unz.com links posted around the same time that the google censorship began.
the problem is that the dialectic is halted by the fact the opposite perspectives are effectively forbidden from true interaction. no ‘liberal’ will countenance a whiff of ‘racism’; in fact, they may even attack you personally, physically or try and get you fired for your presumption. what unz does for us all is priceless in that it allows the suppressed perspectives light and air, but it cannot by itself help us resolve the disharmony. until proper dialog resumes we will have nothing but chaos

@steve & whomever else it may concern:
i was perusing the latest FBI crime dataz here:
and noticed that the black murder rate seems to really fall off with age. has anyone else noticed this, and/or do they have a theory as to why? my first guess would be related to the ‘fast life strategy’ hypothesis, with our black countrymen aging out of the effective murderer age cohort quicker than others. but my experience with old white men is that some of them truly harbor a well-seasoned, slow-broiled spirit of thanatos, e.g. the mass shooter in vegas. caucasians without families and/or God can be horribly vindictive
how does one address the massive ‘antiracist’ memeplex dominating the thoughts of our left-liberal countrymen? it is a formidable mental fortress. my latest attempts at sincerely discussing race issues, with a longtime college friend, ended rather poorly. here’s a short except of his final response:
“I wish the Turks ended your garbage blood line and spared some other Armenian family with worthwhile values instead. Just wanted to be clear, XXXXX: we are not friends anymore. That well is poisoned with your far right cultural values and your feelings of victimhood because you cannot tell your coworkers that you support eugenics and don’t believe in systemic racism.”

one of the great ironies of present times is that the american establishment has been PROVEN to be !incredibly! racist… but not in the way that BLM-types might think: the doyens of good taste vastly prefer exposing socially-‘enlightened’ nostrums to preventing the deaths of african-americans or doing anything to better their lives. people who ACTUALLY cared about other racial groups would never countenance such behavior!!!

Look, I don’t need to tell you to be skeptical of everything you read about China...In English.Yes, there were outbreaks and they were controlled and eradicated using the strategy I described. You lockdown an area or even just a few blocks after you detected a case. You test, you quarantined and let the healthy go. It is simple as that. As I said, cases were still coming in from aboard but Wuhan have been COVID free for more than 6 months. I know the strategy works since this is what the government did in HK. We had dozen of cases in HK every day at one point and the virus was spreading stealthily. The government tried to copy Wuhan and launch a city wide test -10 million people- the only problem was that it was voluntary and only 3 million people took the test. I took the whole family for the test. Took 5 minutes. We found hundreds of asymptomatic cases. The cases went down to tens of cases a day after that but then grew again after a few months as it was still spreading in 7 million that didn’t get tested and we still have too many non-Chinese ( especially Indians) that were coming in from abroad.It is ok. We still have a dozen cases a day but we can get on with our normal lives and just needed to avoid certain hotspots. It is mind boggling to me that such a simple and rational strategy is not even on the table or considered an solution that can be carried out in conjunction with the rest of the strategy. Out of the thousands of comments that have been written on the matter here on Unz, NO ONE have considered the strategy that I have described while it is obviously the most logical one. Why does it have to be either herd immunity or vaccination..or death? It is just insane. I have come to the conclusion that it has something to do with the feral nature of the people than the corruption and incompetence of democratic governments.Replies: @raven lunatic
Meantime, China seems to be continually battling Covid outbreaks.
i hate to say it but wuflu is a classic example of hbd in live action. have you noticed that pretty much only ne asian counties have the social cohesion and consciousness to actually pull off this strategy, and that virtually all have succeeded regardless of wealth or the severity of their outbreaks? also this part of the world just happens to be where dense urban civilizations have run the strongest biggest and longest, and where many coronaviruses have originated? if dealing with airborne respitory viruses was an olympic event it would be as lopsided as the races

im sorry, i dont have solid scientific evidence for or against this opinion. anecdotally, my strong initial reaction to the widespread adoption of face masks in the united states was: this looks just like all those videos of masked people in tokyo or beijing train stations ive seen over the years.
so i admit ‘originate’ was a poorly chosen phrase in this context. AIDS certainly did not originate in san fransisco, but in such western locations far from the heart of africa it burned the brightest. my overall model is simply that dense urban northern-latitude civilizations tend to posses conditions ripest for the transmission of airborne disease. with globalization, it isn’t a matter of /if/ anymore, simply /when/. NE asia now and historically has had the most people in the least indoor dwelling space.
this vulnerability is, however, a selective pressure on both human biology and sociology that inevitably produces different outcomes for said societies than a naiive observer might expect for any given event. it is telling that vietnam, japan, koreas and china all had roughly the same outcomes despite being totally different counties as far as structure goes
i believe that this fact has some very important policy implications. there were hand-made signs in my upscale liberal enclave extorting their neighbors to be ‘more like the japanese!’ i have read a number of grumbling op-eds in which people say that we can simply ‘do what china did’. but we are a different peoples with a different historical experience and that has to be taken into account by whomeverses is in charge of the rodeo.
