From The Guardian:

‘You don’t have to settle’: the joy of living (and dying) alone

Keli Goff
Data confirms more women have realized there are far worse things than dying alone, which is bad news for the patriarchy

@keligoff
Sun 13 Oct 2019

For years, feminist writer Linda Hirshman courted controversy by advising that marriage, unless to an exceptional man, is often a ‘bad bargain’ for women.

Not long ago I had a discussion with a friend about why she married, and ultimately divorced, someone she knew wasn’t right for her. She said she bought into society’s deafening message that being with a man – any man – is better than being alone, and certainly better than dying alone, which is allegedly the worst fate anyone, especially any woman, can suffer.

When I told her that I’ve never feared dying alone, and in fact have sometimes feared the opposite, she told me I was incredibly lucky. Because this meant I wouldn’t end up settling for a life that doesn’t actually make me happy, even if society tells me it’s supposed to.

Apparently I’m not alone. (Pun intended!) Data confirms that more women have begun to realize that there are far worse things than dying alone, which is great news for women but bad news for the patriarchy.

    Many 1960s women missed the biological window to have children. Now, they’re in the “misery loves company” mode.

    Remember, most women are bad at making big decisions. But are very good at rationalizing those decisions afterwords.

  9. “The Joy of Dying Alone…”

    A responsible journalist would understand that before recommending it to anyone else she should try it out for herself. They can let us know from beyond the grave what it was like.

    Accepting life without the benefit of a significant other is just another kind of “settling” – in many ways even worse than settling for someone who is, allegedly, beneath you. Either become a good enough person to attract the kind of person you think is good enough for you, or realize that both you and your companion are going to have to learn to appreciate living life with a highly imperfect person.

  10. A Trump win in 2020, and a Boris win with Brexit, would both result in a very strong eruption of hysteria among the GloboHomo crowd, and THIS time, iron should be struck while hot.

    There will be real moods along the line of “I’m moving to Canada” or “I’m moving to Sweden”, but this time both the US and the UK should have relocation programs on the ready. Quickly, while the mood is right, give twenty grand to any whiner who signs up, and kick them out into Sweden or Canada, with the citizenship change streamlined on both sides.

    Once this becomes a thing, it’ll legitimize doing the same with various ethnic minorities and sending them to Ghana or Peru or Pakistan…

  11. Didn’t read it but I’m sure old Grauniad found space to mention that the only Muslim who dies alone is taking enemies with him, and the Persians say dying with company is like dining with company.
    Two examples of real headlines which are literally telling you to kill yourself:
    Rand Paul, who has in the past vacillated between nobility worthy of his father and convenience worthy of his colleagues, today donned the armor of Horatio. He blocked a Senate vote condemning Trump’s unwillingness to murder innocent people by calling the neocon bluff and demanding the proper war case which nobody could make on the finest mushrooms. Maybe now House Republicans will make the same argument about the “impeachment,” excuse me, I mean the “impeachment inquiry,” it can’t be an impeachment because an impeachment follows a full floor vote (and a discussion of procedure and rules), and this “inquiry” is just Nancy Pelosi tolerating Adam Schiff thinking out loud.
    An 18-year-old Polish girl visited Chicago. She was raped and beaten so severely she had to relearn how to walk and talk. You don’t need to see a picture of who did it, you already know two things about him, one of which is that he was getting his life together. Think happy thoughts, you’re not allowed to think anything else.

    To rationalize is part of our survival kit - all neurotic defense mechanisms are. That's how we get along, not least socially: By neglecting, lying, avoiding, downplaying etc. etc. - all kinds of truths. Truth is a sharp edged thing. Women understand that perfectly well and don't care too much therefor.

    (I think, that Raymond Chandler would have agreed).

    Result: Women usually get along better than men do. Life is unfair - not least to nerds...

    Btw. I didn't know this bonmot by Carl Schmidt, one of the more eminent figures in European (?) history of the mind of the 20th century, who greatly influenced (amongst others) Leo Straus: "Only a person who has had such big troubles to decide for himself could have come up with a Theory of Decesiveness****." (My translation).

    **** saying that politics is less about being right than about knowing that things have to be done. Politics thus for Schmitt is the acceptance of diverging interests and vital (=unavoidable) conflict between nations/states. Thus the importance of the enemy for politics. - For Derrida, Schmitt was interesting, because Schmitt too in his eyes, had a knack for the other/ otherness as a structural necessity of our existence.

    Marie Prevost: Sticking it to the Patriarchy

    A close and dear relative was walking her dog along a creek when she suffered an epileptic fit, fell in, and drowned. She was found the next day, with her arm chewed up. Investigators determined that the dog had vainly tried to pull her to safety.

    Isn’t the Marie Prevost case similar? Don’t researchers now lean toward the belief that her pets were trying to revive her, not consume her?

    Coincidentally, the longest time I spent with this relative was on a family vacation when “Cruel to Be Kind” was all over the airwaves, and my stereo. Little did I know that decades hence I’d associate her death with another of Nick’s songs.

    Today we’re supposed to buy into society’s deafening message that Diversity Is Our Strength, White Man Bad/POC Good, and believing this is better than being slandered as a racist, sexist, antisemitic, homophobic, islamophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, nativist which is allegedly the worst fate anyone, especially any White man, can suffer.

    But when we started to tell each other we didn’t fear being called those things we realized how incredibly lucky we were.

    It’s good to know you can question society.

  18. “that marriage, unless to an exceptional man, is often a ‘bad bargain’ for women.”

What is the benefit? What do they provide me, or anyone, besides economic incentives (if they get a job) and relations, these people don’t want to reproduce, they want to live in tiny cuckshed houses, pittbulls as pets, probably spend all their time protesting, won’t cook, won’t do any household chores, what is the point.

    If the experience of the younger men in our families is any guide, what they face is a female population chock-a-block with those who think of marriage as just a stage of the dating relationship. Three quite reasonable young men among ours have been abandoned a propos of nothing in particular in the last 11 years. The most enduring of these marriages lasted a shade over three years. At least two of these women (quite possibly all three) were whoring around on their husbands before they hit the road.

    You need to get out more. You must not know any marriageable women. The ones you describe are a minority. The ones you want are a majority, but they are not loud and obnoxious enough to gain your attention.

    Embrace a theologically conservative version of Christianity. Find a church and become a worker bee in that church. (Make sure it is big enough to have a relatively large number of nubile candidates.) Work, and work hard there. Solve their problems. Be a gentleman. Pay attention to the nubiles. Look for symmetry. If you have physical, intellectual or spiritual defects, don't target Shannon Breem as a potential spouse. For example, if you like the symphony, and she prefers watching the professional bull riders, move on. Don't expect to marry Miss America or Miss Rodeo Queen.

    You can make this work, but don't listen Whiskey and the Eeyore brigade. It won't be easy, but it will be worthwhile.

    We will all die, and no one wants to die alone, unmissed and unmourned. If you have no children, or if you have them and you neglect them, you will die alone, unmissed and unmourned. And that is just the materialist perspective. If you reject materialism, you have an even greater motivation to embrace something more than just you.

    Ok I’m done laughing. For actual credible research, the Harvard longtitudinal study pretty much validated that people in happy long-term relationships live longest and well, then comes those who are happy but single (but there’s a big drop off between the first group and second), and the last group are people in unhappy relationships. If I’m not mistaken, it’s not just length but also quality of life, including some correlation (not sure of causality) with dementia and mental health (ie being in happy relationships is correlated with improved mental health and lower instances of dementia and Alzheimer’s etc). The same findings have been verified via other studies as well, including those by the Gottman Institute, which does some good research on couples and long-standing relationships.

    This author… From what google tells me is 40years old and still single (unmarried at any case), so maybe this is her trying to reassure herself that she’s not going to turn into a mentally unstable and lonely old woman? Sometimes we want to believe something so badly we are blinded to facts to the contrary. The sad part in all this is that there’s probably going to be thousands of comments from thousands of single women all over the world, experiencing the same fears, reinforcing this idiocy because it’s a more palatable lie than the hard-truth of research. And then soon fiction becomes fact.

    And sometimes they're so badly hurt that they're just nonfunctional, can't be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it's to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn't like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is "society". If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, "dying alone" like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I've seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

I think the worst part of the authors mindset, and the modern gender/feminist studied courses, is that they absolutely ruin women that may have had a shot at a normal life otherwise.

People who would collapse in a fit of the vapors if they ever came across iSteve know this, and lord knows everyone here knows it.

    But there are millions of hermits in America, living among us. Not as fabulous as Keli, of course. Most older, of course. No family, no partner, few acquaintances, little social engagement of any kind. Loneliness is endemic in the West, even in cities. And it’s gotten worse ever since we got all these new friends from every corner of the earth who speak different languages we don’t understand, because diversity is our greatest strength, and by ‘our’ I mean the Marxists who want to destroy Western social cohesion: the family, the nation, monogamy, regional loyalties of any kind, religion, and on.

    At 40 Keli is at the age where she has realized that she is not going to get married and have kids. The ovaries are dried out, and she no longer draws the male gaze as consistently as before when out and about. To think anything other than that being alone is good would provoke unbearable cognitive dissonance.

    On the other hand, she has not yet reached the age where health problems start to pop up while at the same time freelance writing and pundit job prospects start to fade, as a new upcoming generation cancels her generation.

    So she is in the “dying alone is fine” uncanny valley.

    The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be exhortations that the relationship and reproductive state that she currently finds herself in is the ideal, the end of the arc of history, and that Come the Revolution, this will be recognized by all.

    ...the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny...
     
    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It's not like there's some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It's not like it's a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of... and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You're taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn't resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that's not meant to be a slight on you personally: that's just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you're as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don't like - even while you're around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it's a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving - so much so that it has a "destiny"?

    That's fucking preposterous. I'm an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand - and have really, deeply internalised - that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one's own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me - I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what? I would have some minuscule amount of time left in the gap between the two voids (void ①: the billions of years that passed before I was born; void ②: the billions of years that will pass after I die).

    That said, I'm also a techno-utopian, so virtualising and extending the gap between the voids by a couple of hundred million years might be interesting (but only locally).

  41. I am acquainted with a lot of white proles. The old, lonely women are the most miserable among them. They also consume an enormous amount of welfare/healthcare benefits.

    The old ones with family around are much healthier and more active, and they don’t moan and complain nearly as much. They also are more likely to still be gainfully employed, despite often providing a lot of childcare to grandkids.

    If this were my sole frame of reference, I’d chalk it up to needy, lazy and unpleasant people being generally repellent, and therefore lonely. However, I have not seen this tendency among the local abuelitas, despite it being unfortunately common among white prole women. Because I know from experience that Mexicans are not actually more industrious and cheerful by nature, I figure there must be some deep cultural dysfunction afflicting American women.

    To rationalize is part of our survival kit – all neurotic defense mechanisms are. That’s how we get along, not least socially: By neglecting, lying, avoiding, downplaying etc. etc. – all kinds of truths. Truth is a sharp edged thing. Women understand that perfectly well and don’t care too much therefor.

    (I think, that Raymond Chandler would have agreed).

    Result: Women usually get along better than men do. Life is unfair – not least to nerds…

    **** saying that politics is less about being right than about knowing that things have to be done. Politics thus for Schmitt is the acceptance of diverging interests and vital (=unavoidable) conflict between nations/states. Thus the importance of the enemy for politics. – For Derrida, Schmitt was interesting, because Schmitt too in his eyes, had a knack for the other/ otherness as a structural necessity of our existence.

    Contrary to black people, it seems impossible to get data on Jewish SAT : what proportion of 80k Jews take the test, what are their scores, what’s the Jewish Ivy score, whats the Jewish legacy average score ?

    Then we would also know what is the white non Jewish non athlete non legacy score ? This bird represents 95% of whites in the SAT population. What’s their SAT average in Ivies ? If they represent 10% of Ivy class while being 70% of test takers, I hope at least that it is far higher than any other group .

  47. Misery sure loves company. This article is a perfect example of how women deliberately sabotage their fellow women, and too many women are too stupid to see through it. I was heartily sick of the single career life and my own company by my late twenties. Sure it was fun and exciting the first few years after college but it quickly became boringly repetitive. To be brutally honest, and not to my credit, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind after my husband proposed was relief that I wasn’t going to die alone.

    I have two spinster SILs, one GenX, one millennial, not because they’re ball-busting feminists but because they were too timid to really go out into the world on their own. My in-laws didn’t do their parental duty (selfishly imo) and boot the birds out of the nest, but let them live at home, despite them having the means to live on their own, until they got too old to easily find a mate. It’s a shame because I think they would prefer being married and having children but they were too emotionally comfy at home to make the effort to meet someone. Loneliness can be a very powerful motivator.

    Sure, but Keli Goff is a 40 year old, accomplished African American woman. This demographic is known to have trouble finding partners. They're the most extreme example of it. People who would collapse in a fit of the vapors if they ever came across iSteve know this, and lord knows everyone here knows it.

    This self-absorbed "journalist, playwright and screenwriter" probably has lots of fabulous friends with whom she may imbibe Thug Passions, and take turns testifying about their strength, intelligence, independence, uncompromising standards...

    But there are millions of hermits in America, living among us. Not as fabulous as Keli, of course. Most older, of course. No family, no partner, few acquaintances, little social engagement of any kind. Loneliness is endemic in the West, even in cities. And it's gotten worse ever since we got all these new friends from every corner of the earth who speak different languages we don't understand, because diversity is our greatest strength, and by 'our' I mean the Marxists who want to destroy Western social cohesion: the family, the nation, monogamy, regional loyalties of any kind, religion, and on.

    This is what normal people are afraid of, Keli. 'Dying alone,' of course, but isolation and loneliness make life hardly worth living. No wonder so many people kill themselves with opiates. Prisoners in solitary confinement have a higher suicide rate, too.

    Replies: @Anon, @Amerimutt Golems

    At 40 Keli is at the age where she has realized that she is not going to get married and have kids. The ovaries are dried out, and she no longer draws the male gaze as consistently as before when out and about. To think anything other than that being alone is good would provoke unbearable cognitive dissonance.

    On the other hand, she has not yet reached the age where health problems start to pop up while at the same time freelance writing and pundit job prospects start to fade, as a new upcoming generation cancels her generation.

    So she is in the “dying alone is fine” uncanny valley.

    The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be exhortations that the relationship and reproductive state that she currently finds herself in is the ideal, the end of the arc of history, and that Come the Revolution, this will be recognized by all.

    Remember, most women are bad at making big decisions. But are very good at rationalizing those decisions afterwords.
     
    To rationalize is part of our survival kit - all neurotic defense mechanisms are. That's how we get along, not least socially: By neglecting, lying, avoiding, downplaying etc. etc. - all kinds of truths. Truth is a sharp edged thing. Women understand that perfectly well and don't care too much therefor.

    (I think, that Raymond Chandler would have agreed).

    Result: Women usually get along better than men do. Life is unfair - not least to nerds...

    Btw. I didn't know this bonmot by Carl Schmidt, one of the more eminent figures in European (?) history of the mind of the 20th century, who greatly influenced (amongst others) Leo Straus: "Only a person who has had such big troubles to decide for himself could have come up with a Theory of Decesiveness****." (My translation).

    **** saying that politics is less about being right than about knowing that things have to be done. Politics thus for Schmitt is the acceptance of diverging interests and vital (=unavoidable) conflict between nations/states. Thus the importance of the enemy for politics. - For Derrida, Schmitt was interesting, because Schmitt too in his eyes, had a knack for the other/ otherness as a structural necessity of our existence.

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every "we buy houses" guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn't always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can't be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they'd had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn't moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren't people who didn't call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn't think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it's hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it's time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It's worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

    I saw Rockpile with Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe open for Van Morrison in Houston in 1979-80. It sounds like a great show, and Rockpile played really well, but their acoustics were terrible. Back then, it wasn't a good bet to expect the opening band to sound good because if the they got to town late, the headliner monopolized the sound check. When I put my fingers in my ears, I could hear that Rockpile was playing superbly, but they sounded awful because they didn't have time to adjust for the new hall. Van Morrison sounded good, but he's not a generous performer. He mostly just stood there with a sour look on his face. On the other hand, he just played one good song after another:

    I am acquainted with a lot of white proles. The old, lonely women are the most miserable among them. They also consume an enormous amount of welfare/healthcare benefits.

    The old ones with family around are much healthier and more active, and they don't moan and complain nearly as much. They also are more likely to still be gainfully employed, despite often providing a lot of childcare to grandkids.

    If this were my sole frame of reference, I'd chalk it up to needy, lazy and unpleasant people being generally repellent, and therefore lonely. However, I have not seen this tendency among the local abuelitas, despite it being unfortunately common among white prole women. Because I know from experience that Mexicans are not actually more industrious and cheerful by nature, I figure there must be some deep cultural dysfunction afflicting American women.

    As a genXer, I'm afraid a lot of women of my generation are going to be an enormous burden on my kids and their peers. I've even begun to feel a bit resentful of the childless women my age because of this. If they chose to forego childrearing, they are freeloaders who are counting on profiting from all the hard work and care I've put in raising children.

    Ok I’m done laughing. For actual credible research, the Harvard longtitudinal study pretty much validated that people in happy long-term relationships live longest and well, then comes those who are happy but single (but there’s a big drop off between the first group and second), and the last group are people in unhappy relationships. If I’m not mistaken, it’s not just length but also quality of life, including some correlation (not sure of causality) with dementia and mental health (ie being in happy relationships is correlated with improved mental health and lower instances of dementia and Alzheimer’s etc). The same findings have been verified via other studies as well, including those by the Gottman Institute, which does some good research on couples and long-standing relationships.

    This author... From what google tells me is 40years old and still single (unmarried at any case), so maybe this is her trying to reassure herself that she’s not going to turn into a mentally unstable and lonely old woman? Sometimes we want to believe something so badly we are blinded to facts to the contrary. The sad part in all this is that there’s probably going to be thousands of comments from thousands of single women all over the world, experiencing the same fears, reinforcing this idiocy because it’s a more palatable lie than the hard-truth of research.

    And sometimes they’re so badly hurt that they’re just nonfunctional, can’t be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it’s to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn’t like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is “society”. If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, “dying alone” like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I’ve seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

    The men and women of every time and place get exactly the women and men they deserve. If the women are thus, someone taught them to be that way.

    Cowardliness is the male analog insult to female sluttiness. It’s a harsh pill to accept as an American woman that yes we have this awful deficiency but American men better look in the mirror to see how this happened. Brits are the same, see Rotterham- caused by the combination of cowardly men and slutty women.

    We are threads on a tapestry woven together not atomized strings blowing in the wind.

    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It’s not like there’s some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It’s not like it’s a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of… and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You’re taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn’t resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that’s not meant to be a slight on you personally: that’s just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you’re as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don’t like – even while you’re around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it’s a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving – so much so that it has a “destiny“?

    That’s fucking preposterous. I’m an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand – and have really, deeply internalised – that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one’s own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me – I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what? I would have some minuscule amount of time left in the gap between the two voids (void ①: the billions of years that passed before I was born; void ②: the billions of years that will pass after I die).

    That said, I’m also a techno-utopian, so virtualising and extending the gap between the voids by a couple of hundred million years might be interesting (but only locally).

    Replies: @Cortes, @donvonburg, @anon

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every “we buy houses” guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn’t always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can’t be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they’d had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn’t moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren’t people who didn’t call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn’t think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it’s hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it’s time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It’s worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

Back then, it wasn’t a good bet to expect the opening band to sound good because if the they got to town late, the headliner monopolized the sound check. When I put my fingers in my ears, I could hear that Rockpile was playing superbly, but they sounded awful because they didn’t have time to adjust for the new hall. Van Morrison sounded good, but he’s not a generous performer. He mostly just stood there with a sour look on his face. On the other hand, he just played one good song after another:

    And sometimes they're so badly hurt that they're just nonfunctional, can't be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it's to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn't like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is "society". If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, "dying alone" like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I've seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

  81. “Guardian: the Joy of Owning the Patriarchy by Dying Alone”

    The reality is that there remains a subset of the population who embraces this “patriarchy”, so whenever these types of articles by grrl pwr, inc. pop up, the usual anger and bitterness arises from said group. Of course, grrll pwr, inc. also suffers from the same type of resentment and derangement as their foes, the patriarchs, when they make the claim of “I go alone”. Basically, it is the MGTOW way co-opted by extreme feminists. The fact is both group are outliers, but the media, both “mainstream” and “alternative”, play it up as being a “us versus them” donnybrook that plays out continually in American boardrooms and bedrooms.

    We normies have bigger fish to fry. But, by all means Mr. Sailer, continue with your outrage.

    Don’t get me wrong, I only mean that about these feminist types, I definitely do think the majority of women are like that (which I may be wrong about) but the irony comes from the fact the group of people that has the least to offer are the ones implying that they should withhold themselves. I think the worst part of the authors mindset, and the modern gender/feminist studied courses, is that they absolutely ruin women that may have had a shot at a normal life otherwise.

    ...the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny...
     
    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It's not like there's some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It's not like it's a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of... and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You're taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn't resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that's not meant to be a slight on you personally: that's just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you're as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don't like - even while you're around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it's a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving - so much so that it has a "destiny"?

    That's fucking preposterous. I'm an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand - and have really, deeply internalised - that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one's own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me - I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what? I would have some minuscule amount of time left in the gap between the two voids (void ①: the billions of years that passed before I was born; void ②: the billions of years that will pass after I die).

    That said, I'm also a techno-utopian, so virtualising and extending the gap between the voids by a couple of hundred million years might be interesting (but only locally).

    And sometimes they're so badly hurt that they're just nonfunctional, can't be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it's to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn't like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is "society". If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, "dying alone" like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I've seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every "we buy houses" guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn't always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can't be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they'd had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn't moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren't people who didn't call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn't think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it's hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it's time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It's worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

    As a 50 year old office drone, you could marry a 25-year old janitor.

(It goes without saying that, stupid as they might be, they will quickly find a way to stop working the till, and rarely will she be able to find something better. She knows it instinctively.)

    But you know you won't have any common grounds in chitchat or budget decisions, which means you know that you will separate soon. Divorce is the most common fate for marriages where the age difference is yuuge, but people like Tarantino or Trump are either:
    - idiots who don't know it
    - special granite stones (as opposed to special snowflakes) who think it won't happen to them, and, if it happens, pretend it never happened, they already forgot, it did not hurt them, the dog ate their marriage certificate, and so on

    Women will usually tell you enough for you to figure it out, or else you can glean the facts from her circumstances. For example, if she claims she has been in abusive relationships, that is a big red flag. Why was the guy so angry at her? Did she attack him? Why does she like guys like that?

    If she's collecting child support, she's already screwed a guy over. Either she got pregnant by a guy who didn't want kids or she took away the children of a man who did. Those who are truly innocent in this regard (e.g. husband left for the hot secretary) are usually past their fertile years.

    As for dating down in age, only date down as much as you have to, and go to places where there are more women than men. Often, economically distressed areas have a high female to male ratio. Rural and exurban areas, for example. You'll find a lot more attractive women working menial jobs than you will in the big city. They aren't typically well-educated, but they aren't all dumb either. The trick is finding one who is a decent human being, and looks tell you nothing about this.

    Does she like to care for others? Is she industrious? Does she hold a job and save any of her earnings? The one advantage an older guy has is that he can use his life experience as a guide to evaluate these things. He should be wise in this regard, but unfortunately there are a lot of old fools out there.

    Ask her about her parents - are they still married and relatively happily? If so, she likely had role models of a healthy relationship and people who value staying together. Is her mom nuts, a ball buster, how does her mom treat her dad? How does she feel about her dad, brothers? Does she dress attractively but doesn't put everything on display? What are her friends like - are they decent, down to earth women or do they all have issues - birds of a feather flock together. Was she raised with a religion, is religious now? Does she take antidepressants, have "anxiety", lots of tattoos/piercings - stay away.

    I don't think older "office drones" would have trouble finding a somewhat younger women (20 years is gross). Be in decent-good shape (so much easier for men!), dress decently, have good hygiene, be funny, and be confident.

    And honestly, lower your standards on looks and look for someone you get along with. You're not Brad Pitt so you can't expect to bag an Angelina Jolie. The decent, shy chubby woman with a good personality, who makes the most of her looks who has to try harder to find a guy will make a nice wife and mother and can always lose weight (she will follow your lead) but a hot psycho chick can ruin your life.

    Marie Prevost: Sticking it to the Patriarchy
     
    A close and dear relative was walking her dog along a creek when she suffered an epileptic fit, fell in, and drowned. She was found the next day, with her arm chewed up. Investigators determined that the dog had vainly tried to pull her to safety.

    Isn't the Marie Prevost case similar? Don't researchers now lean toward the belief that her pets were trying to revive her, not consume her?

    Coincidentally, the longest time I spent with this relative was on a family vacation when "Cruel to Be Kind" was all over the airwaves, and my stereo. Little did I know that decades hence I'd associate her death with another of Nick's songs.

    As an example of feminist hypergamy. She not only married a wealthy Brit, but one with a famous son. A twofer. Before that, she dated America's richest Canadian.

    This is the woman who came up with the (pretty accurate, but dead-in-the-water) phrase "success objects".

    Here is a snarky line from the Telegraph, which I thought was above that sort of thing. Wolfe didn't have to "choose"; his suits were identical. The more variable Gay Talese would have been a better comparison, but as a haberdasher's son, he probably takes less than five minutes thought to be the best-dressed man in the land.

    Which is still more time than Gloria, perhaps.


    Her hair and nails received a level of attention that never came the way of her New York magazine colleague Tom Wolfe – though he must have spent more time choosing his outfits than Steinem ever did.

    When a University of Chicago student died in his single-occupancy dorm room, it took eight days for his body to be found.


    April 14, 2014 (CHICAGO)

    The 20-year-old's body was found in his dorm room on February 15, days after he last used his key code to enter the school's International House dorm. Other dorm residents complained of a smell, which led officials to discover his decomposing body and raised concerns about why he wasn't reported as missing earlier.

    The original autopsy was inconclusive, but toxicology reports were released Monday. His cause of death was listed as ethanol toxicity and labeled an accident by the medical examiner.

    Barnes was from Pittsburgh. He was a third-year student at U of C.

    Yes, white women today are gross. Honestly, they’re fucking disgusting. No one would touch one without an insurance policy and a booster shot. But they’re OUR women. They’re what we got. We can’t make additional whites without them.

    You win, by getting married, by having a human woman by your side, producing your children, supporting you in whatever pathetic way she can (given the circumstances) while you try to do better by the next round of souls to inhabit this miserable rock.

    There is no other alternative. Dying alone to prove some kind of point only benefits the Jews. Yes, our white women are repulsive whores; but without us, who will steward them out of this behavior? We cannot reproduce without them. It is literally impossible.

    ...the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny...
     
    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It's not like there's some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It's not like it's a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of... and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You're taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn't resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that's not meant to be a slight on you personally: that's just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you're as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don't like - even while you're around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it's a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving - so much so that it has a "destiny"?

    That's fucking preposterous. I'm an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand - and have really, deeply internalised - that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one's own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me - I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what? I would have some minuscule amount of time left in the gap between the two voids (void ①: the billions of years that passed before I was born; void ②: the billions of years that will pass after I die).

    That said, I'm also a techno-utopian, so virtualising and extending the gap between the voids by a couple of hundred million years might be interesting (but only locally).

    Books and music gradually become meaningless. They are the excreta of some other souls—the meaningless output of other isolated nobodies trying to make sense of their time in this prison of flesh. They can illuminate or entertain, sure, but compared to the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny, it is all masturbation.

    I have two spinster SILs, one GenX, one millennial, not because they’re ball-busting feminists but because they were too timid to really go out into the world on their own. My in-laws didn’t do their parental duty (selfishly imo) and boot the birds out of the nest, but let them live at home, despite them having the means to live on their own, until they got too old to easily find a mate. It’s a shame because I think they would prefer being married and having children but they were too emotionally comfy at home to make the effort to meet someone.

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every "we buy houses" guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn't always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can't be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they'd had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn't moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren't people who didn't call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn't think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it's hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it's time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It's worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

To be brutally honest, and not to my credit, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind after my husband proposed was relief that I wasn’t going to die alone.

    I have two spinster SILs, one GenX, one millennial, not because they’re ball-busting feminists but because they were too timid to really go out into the world on their own. My in-laws didn’t do their parental duty (selfishly imo) and boot the birds out of the nest, but let them live at home, despite them having the means to live on their own, until they got too old to easily find a mate. It’s a shame because I think they would prefer being married and having children but they were too emotionally comfy at home to make the effort to meet someone. Loneliness can be a very powerful motivator.

    I don't have daughters (when it comes time, my sons will be evicted after being allowed a few years of saving up a nice nest egg) but being able to handle fully living on your own is a good skill to have - it's not easy but it gives you a lot of self confidence and will make them a better, more appreciative spouse. I think many parents pamper their daughters these days. Taking care of all the hard stuff in life for them certainly doesn't help with their entitled princess attitude, which I think many suffer from.

    Agree wholeheartedly, but how do you recognize such women ahead of time?

    Also, while a man can indeed 'date down' in age, this requires being successful and/or attractive. Tarantino can marry a woman 20 years his junior...but he is also a famously wealthy and famous director. Your average office drone is going to have a lot less luck.

    Replies: @Dacian Julien Soros, @Bill P, @AnonAnon

    As a 50 year old office drone, you could marry a 25-year old janitor. A majority of the beautiful cashiers and waitresses would be delighted to stop licking the shoes of hundreds of customers, in exchange for licking those of their husband. (It goes without saying that, stupid as they might be, they will quickly find a way to stop working the till, and rarely will she be able to find something better. She knows it instinctively.)

    But you know you won’t have any common grounds in chitchat or budget decisions, which means you know that you will separate soon. Divorce is the most common fate for marriages where the age difference is yuuge, but people like Tarantino or Trump are either:
    – idiots who don’t know it
    – special granite stones (as opposed to special snowflakes) who think it won’t happen to them, and, if it happens, pretend it never happened, they already forgot, it did not hurt them, the dog ate their marriage certificate, and so on
    – cucks who get some pleasure from Marla screwing the guards.

    The office drone is rarely one of the above.

    These wahmuns are amusing - they are “sticking it to the patriarchy” by not saddling men in long term relationships with the ungrateful harpies that they are and self-terminating their mutant genetic lines - great strategy.

    I have a delightful, beautiful and decidedly non-vicious wife, but if I had the choice between scoring some nice tail up into my forties and then living a peaceful and quiet late life “alone”, or being legally tied to some horrific hag who hides her self-loathing under the title of feminism, well, there is plenty of good wine to drink, good music to listen to, and good books to read - in peace.

    While the self hating, life hating hags are taking themselves out of the reproductive game, women who love men, love children, and love family project their genes and their temperament into the future. Unfortunately it’s the White women (the most fortunate, free, and pampered women in human history) who are being infected with this sickness.

  123. A couple points:

    1) West of the Hajnal line people have long had a lot of women–maybe 20%–who never married. That part is not a crisis. However, we used to have working away on their father’s, then brother’s, farm or in the convent. Little seen and not heard. Letting them opine in our major media is ridiculous.

    And even more importantly …

    2) We may have more empty wombs now as the civilized races are still recovering from the asymetric shocks of industrialization and then the birth control pill. However the result of this will be cull the genes that make women a poor fit for modern life.

    But for this process to play out–a few generations–we must not allow immigration/invasion. In a few generations inside closed borders, these–“you go-grrl”, hectoring spinster–genes will wash out and whites (and other civilized races) would recover as more pro-natal genes dominate. But immigration destroy’s that natural process, and worse stesses nations in ways–male wage depression, expensive housing, community destruction–that reinforce anti-natalism/spinsterism.

    So again, however interesting the “woman problem” is, in the end the one critical issue is defeating minoritarianism and immigrationism and demanding the right for civilized people’s to preserve their race and nation.

  124. Keli Goff is probably in a tough position. She is pretty for a black woman, but she is 40 and her looks are going to fade quickly and considerably. I imagine she thought she’d have an easy time dating successful engaging men, and a white woman in the same looks percentile for her race would indeed have had such an easy time, but being as she is a black woman, the pool of successful black professional looking men is limited compared to the black women in that status level. And many of those black men will happily date any other race of women.

    On the other hand, despite being an attractive black woman, she probably isn’t especially attractive to white men, especially given that she works in the entertainment industry, where the most attractive members of all races flock to.

    So she wasn’t able to find her dashing denzel. The odds were against her. She could settle, but for what? A ghetto nig? I don’t blame her for not settling for that. Her best bet is probably a professional athletic asian man, but my guess is that it’s never occurred to her and that it doesn’t much occur to such a man either.

    When a University of Chicago student died in his single-occupancy dorm room, it took eight days for his body to be found.


    April 14, 2014 (CHICAGO)

    The 20-year-old's body was found in his dorm room on February 15, days after he last used his key code to enter the school's International House dorm. Other dorm residents complained of a smell, which led officials to discover his decomposing body and raised concerns about why he wasn't reported as missing earlier.

    The original autopsy was inconclusive, but toxicology reports were released Monday. His cause of death was listed as ethanol toxicity and labeled an accident by the medical examiner.

    Barnes was from Pittsburgh. He was a third-year student at U of C.

    ...the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny...
     
    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It's not like there's some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It's not like it's a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of... and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You're taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn't resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that's not meant to be a slight on you personally: that's just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you're as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don't like - even while you're around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it's a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving - so much so that it has a "destiny"?

    That's fucking preposterous. I'm an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand - and have really, deeply internalised - that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one's own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me - I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what?

    You're doing the typical naive binomial-tree (the retarded one that that implies that everyone's descended from Genghis Khan or some other shit), and propagating the same stupidity forwards.

    The unconditional probability that any human in the current cohort does anything of long term consequence (that results in their name being remembered, a century after the event, by more than 100 people), is ~1:70-million, assuming that of the current human population, about a thousand people's names will be widely-known in a century (seems charitable).

    Those unconditional probabilities are uncorrelated over time, so the joint probability that one of your descendants makes the cut is the product of the marginal probabilities. They're near enough to zero within each generation, so plim(Π) → 0.

    The weak correlation introduced in cousin-fucking cultures (like the Bayou People, Pakistanis and the Ashkenazim), are offset by other confounders...e.g., the hereditary diseases that arise in cousin-fucking cultures.

    As SFG mentioned, satisficing is the word.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisficing

    Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met.[1] The term satisficing, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice,[2] was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in 1956
     
    Simon received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1978, but what I find even more interesting is he also received the Turing Award (considered the Nobel Prize of CS) in 1975. Quite the combination. Are there any other Nobel Prize/Turing Award dual winners?

    Walter and the Mrs. are ‘satisficers’, i.e. they have found a ‘good enough’ spouse and settle for them. Many ambitious people are ‘maximizers’, i.e. look for the best possible everything, including spouses.

    Shyness may also play a role; people who don’t like the dating game are much more eager to settle down, and less eager to cheat.

    Sure, but Keli Goff is a 40 year old, accomplished African American woman. This demographic is known to have trouble finding partners. They're the most extreme example of it. People who would collapse in a fit of the vapors if they ever came across iSteve know this, and lord knows everyone here knows it.

    This self-absorbed "journalist, playwright and screenwriter" probably has lots of fabulous friends with whom she may imbibe Thug Passions, and take turns testifying about their strength, intelligence, independence, uncompromising standards...

    But there are millions of hermits in America, living among us. Not as fabulous as Keli, of course. Most older, of course. No family, no partner, few acquaintances, little social engagement of any kind. Loneliness is endemic in the West, even in cities. And it's gotten worse ever since we got all these new friends from every corner of the earth who speak different languages we don't understand, because diversity is our greatest strength, and by 'our' I mean the Marxists who want to destroy Western social cohesion: the family, the nation, monogamy, regional loyalties of any kind, religion, and on.

    This is what normal people are afraid of, Keli. 'Dying alone,' of course, but isolation and loneliness make life hardly worth living. No wonder so many people kill themselves with opiates. Prisoners in solitary confinement have a higher suicide rate, too.

    You know, Progressives spend so much time telling people that they’re hearing something that they’re not at all hearing, that they think they actually are hearing it. This syndrome is pandemic among the Woke. Another one is the spiel that entertainment media is always showing us black men as thugs and bad guys. Really?? That’s as far from the truth as one can possibly be, yet you hear it repeated constantly. And still, all I see on TV are black doctors and lawyers and computer nerds and well off black men dating white women. Where are all the thugs?

    A key to this is that these assertions are almost never followed by actual examples. It’s just asserted and assumed to be true. OF COURSE it’s true! How can you even ask?

    Excellent observation. This is a way for the media to slip in messages when the reader is busy distracted by the main point. Another one I constantly see goes like "With the rise in sexual assault against women..." It's a lie. Sexual violence has actually gone way down since the 1990s.

    The other thing they do is rewrite history, claiming the past was more "oppressive" than it actually was. Before 1970, American's didn't live in a 24/7 war zone against women and minorities. The popularity of Motown and countless female authors might be the first tip off to that...

    As SFG mentioned, satisficing is the word.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisficing

    Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met.[1] The term satisficing, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice,[2] was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in 1956

    Simon received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1978, but what I find even more interesting is he also received the Turing Award (considered the Nobel Prize of CS) in 1975. Quite the combination. Are there any other Nobel Prize/Turing Award dual winners?

    Satisficing is a very useful word for describing the way people act in reality. And thus nice to have from a Sapir-Whorf perspective.

    Yes, our white women are repulsive whores; but without us, who will steward them out of this behavior? We cannot reproduce without them. It is literally impossible.
     
    And sometimes they're so badly hurt that they're just nonfunctional, can't be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it's to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn't like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is "society". If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, "dying alone" like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I've seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

Once it's obvious that men are fighting for their lives and a bit malnourished to boot, women tend to value the men a bit more. If everything else fails and things get that bad, the lie goes away.

    ...the actual reproduction of your human flesh, the fulfillment of your line and genetic destiny...
     
    People who think like this leave me absolutely baffled. It is narcissism beyond the limits of human endurance to consider it so meaningful to reproduce a series of self-hybrids in which your own genetic material plays an exponentially-diminishing role.

    Plus, that phrase is creepy as fuck.

    It's not like there's some magic involved: all you need to do is squirt a load into a receptive female of the same species. It's not like it's a demonstration of rare and particular skill: think of the dumbest poorest least-educated meth-addict raggedy-ass white trash you can think of... and realise that reproduction is such a trivial doing, that they can do it too..

    You're taking a very short term view, bro: in another twenty generations nobody will give a fuck about the most famous real people from history (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Black Panther [lol couldn't resist]) or the mythical ones (Thor, Hercules, Samson, Moses, Jesus, Spider-man).

    The probability that any of your line does anything of lasting note (something that makes their name known, 100 years after their birth, outside a circle of 100 people) between now and the heat-death of the universe, is staggeringly low.

    And that's not meant to be a slight on you personally: that's just how shit is. And any descendant more than 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from you (e.g., a great-grandkid) is such a crap-shoot that you're as likely to detest them, as embrace them as a member of your family. Descendants will make decisions you don't like - even while you're around to object: as far as furnishing genuine utility and happiness to you personally, it's a wash.

    The universe is ~14 billion years old; this planet, ~4 billion years old. Humans qua species ~500k years old.

    And you think that something in your genetic mishmash is worth preserving - so much so that it has a "destiny"?

    That's fucking preposterous. I'm an unapologetically self-centred elitist, and I understand - and have really, deeply internalised - that in the genuine long run, nothing anybody does matters.

    It matters locally (i.e., within one's own life), but thinking you can can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not is unmitigated hubris bordering on mental illness.

    The idea of living into a decrepit old age is repugnant to me - I would off myself if I became degeneratively infirm. If a cure was found the next day, so what? I would have some minuscule amount of time left in the gap between the two voids (void ①: the billions of years that passed before I was born; void ②: the billions of years that will pass after I die).

    That said, I'm also a techno-utopian, so virtualising and extending the gap between the voids by a couple of hundred million years might be interesting (but only locally).

    If you’re an upper middle class white female with private health care coverage, it probably isn’t that bad. Also, having a traditional family isn’t that important if you live in a cosy woke suburb full of fellow upper middle class liberals you enjoy networking with.

    However, if you’re not an upper middle class white liberal, it probably is pretty crappy. A working class white person dying alone in a decaying rural town or a rough multi-cultural neighbourhood probably isn’t going to be happy dying alone.

    Do you have elderly parents yet? If you are lucky yours will live to an independent ripe old age, getting along just fine on their own and croak it peacefully one night in bed. My experience is not like that. My upper middle class parents had enough money saved up to live a comfortable retirement on their own, 800 miles away from the child closest to one of us. Life had other plans for them and their health started to seriously decline in their later-80s, culminating in a three week visit last year by my siblings while they convinced and arranged for my parents to move into assisted living close to them. Luckily one of them makes a very good living and fronted nearly $100K of expenses to move them in style (they flew out on a private jet, but just look up the price of medical transportation for a wheelchair bound parent - it's not cheap no matter how you do it) and get them properly set up. Do you think mere friends are going to drop everything for weeks at a time - my dad had a stroke several years before and we siblings took two week rotations of family leave to go and help them out during his months long recovery (and yes, we tried to convince them to move closer to us at that time but they were stubborn. Senior life lesson number one for me, live close to your kids) - and front out big wads of cash to help you when your health hits the fan. Their own parents lived into their 90s without major medical issues so they and we were blindsided by their issues. I feel for people who didn't have the foresight to have children and who don't try maintain a good relationship with them. The future will not be good for them. Hopefully, they have siblings and humane nieces and nephews.

    Women will usually tell you enough for you to figure it out, or else you can glean the facts from her circumstances. For example, if she claims she has been in abusive relationships, that is a big red flag. Why was the guy so angry at her? Did she attack him? Why does she like guys like that?

    If she’s collecting child support, she’s already screwed a guy over. Either she got pregnant by a guy who didn’t want kids or she took away the children of a man who did. Those who are truly innocent in this regard (e.g. husband left for the hot secretary) are usually past their fertile years.

    As for dating down in age, only date down as much as you have to, and go to places where there are more women than men. Often, economically distressed areas have a high female to male ratio. Rural and exurban areas, for example. You’ll find a lot more attractive women working menial jobs than you will in the big city. They aren’t typically well-educated, but they aren’t all dumb either. The trick is finding one who is a decent human being, and looks tell you nothing about this.

    Does she like to care for others? Is she industrious? Does she hold a job and save any of her earnings? The one advantage an older guy has is that he can use his life experience as a guide to evaluate these things. He should be wise in this regard, but unfortunately there are a lot of old fools out there.

    Is dying alone that bad? It depends on the context.

    If you're an upper middle class white female with private health care coverage, it probably isn't that bad. Also, having a traditional family isn't that important if you live in a cosy woke suburb full of fellow upper middle class liberals you enjoy networking with.

    However, if you're not an upper middle class white liberal, it probably is pretty crappy. A working class white person dying alone in a decaying rural town or a rough multi-cultural neighbourhood probably isn't going to be happy dying alone.

    The reality is that there remains a subset of the population who embraces this "patriarchy", so whenever these types of articles by grrl pwr, inc. pop up, the usual anger and bitterness arises from said group. Of course, grrll pwr, inc. also suffers from the same type of resentment and derangement as their foes, the patriarchs, when they make the claim of "I go alone". Basically, it is the MGTOW way co-opted by extreme feminists. The fact is both group are outliers, but the media, both "mainstream" and "alternative", play it up as being a "us versus them" donnybrook that plays out continually in American boardrooms and bedrooms.

    Ask her about her parents – are they still married and relatively happily? If so, she likely had role models of a healthy relationship and people who value staying together. Is her mom nuts, a ball buster, how does her mom treat her dad? How does she feel about her dad, brothers? Does she dress attractively but doesn’t put everything on display? What are her friends like – are they decent, down to earth women or do they all have issues – birds of a feather flock together. Was she raised with a religion, is religious now? Does she take antidepressants, have “anxiety”, lots of tattoos/piercings – stay away.

    I don’t think older “office drones” would have trouble finding a somewhat younger women (20 years is gross). Be in decent-good shape (so much easier for men!), dress decently, have good hygiene, be funny, and be confident.

    And honestly, lower your standards on looks and look for someone you get along with. You’re not Brad Pitt so you can’t expect to bag an Angelina Jolie. The decent, shy chubby woman with a good personality, who makes the most of her looks who has to try harder to find a guy will make a nice wife and mother and can always lose weight (she will follow your lead) but a hot psycho chick can ruin your life.

    That's a great point. If you aren't being properly appreciated demand it. If she's fundamentally decent and married you for the right reasons - she wanted a life companion, a family, and values a long lasting marriage/stable home for her children she'll make an effort. People go into marriage with a ton of unrealistic expectations and you have to communicate your way through them. I think when people say "settle" they mostly mean get realistic of what you can attract looks-wise.

    "that marriage, unless to an exceptional man, is often a ‘bad bargain’ for women."

    What makes women so exceptional that the average layman wins by getting married? Considering the droves of tattooed, uncouth, and extremely in debt (PhD's in Gender Studies don't come cheap!) women don't seem to have their lives together it seems like an economic loss to get involved with such types. What is the benefit? What do they provide me, or anyone, besides economic incentives (if they get a job) and relations, these people don't want to reproduce, they want to live in tiny cuckshed houses, pittbulls as pets, probably spend all their time protesting, won't cook, won't do any household chores, what is the point.

    I’m not seeing that. I think weight problems are more common than was the case 50 years ago (in part because cigarette smoking and amphetamine use is less common).

    If the experience of the younger men in our families is any guide, what they face is a female population chock-a-block with those who think of marriage as just a stage of the dating relationship. Three quite reasonable young men among ours have been abandoned a propos of nothing in particular in the last 11 years. The most enduring of these marriages lasted a shade over three years. At least two of these women (quite possibly all three) were whoring around on their husbands before they hit the road.

    Is dying alone that bad? It depends on the context.

    If you're an upper middle class white female with private health care coverage, it probably isn't that bad. Also, having a traditional family isn't that important if you live in a cosy woke suburb full of fellow upper middle class liberals you enjoy networking with.

    However, if you're not an upper middle class white liberal, it probably is pretty crappy. A working class white person dying alone in a decaying rural town or a rough multi-cultural neighbourhood probably isn't going to be happy dying alone.

    Keyboard conservatives spend way too much time telling contented white liberals they aren't happy living in a liberal society, and too little time rallying those who actually are unhappy living in a liberal society.

    how do you recognize such women ahead of time?
     
    Ask her about her parents - are they still married and relatively happily? If so, she likely had role models of a healthy relationship and people who value staying together. Is her mom nuts, a ball buster, how does her mom treat her dad? How does she feel about her dad, brothers? Does she dress attractively but doesn't put everything on display? What are her friends like - are they decent, down to earth women or do they all have issues - birds of a feather flock together. Was she raised with a religion, is religious now? Does she take antidepressants, have "anxiety", lots of tattoos/piercings - stay away.

    I don't think older "office drones" would have trouble finding a somewhat younger women (20 years is gross). Be in decent-good shape (so much easier for men!), dress decently, have good hygiene, be funny, and be confident.

    And honestly, lower your standards on looks and look for someone you get along with. You're not Brad Pitt so you can't expect to bag an Angelina Jolie. The decent, shy chubby woman with a good personality, who makes the most of her looks who has to try harder to find a guy will make a nice wife and mother and can always lose weight (she will follow your lead) but a hot psycho chick can ruin your life.

    Women will usually tell you enough for you to figure it out, or else you can glean the facts from her circumstances. For example, if she claims she has been in abusive relationships, that is a big red flag. Why was the guy so angry at her? Did she attack him? Why does she like guys like that?

    If she's collecting child support, she's already screwed a guy over. Either she got pregnant by a guy who didn't want kids or she took away the children of a man who did. Those who are truly innocent in this regard (e.g. husband left for the hot secretary) are usually past their fertile years.

    As for dating down in age, only date down as much as you have to, and go to places where there are more women than men. Often, economically distressed areas have a high female to male ratio. Rural and exurban areas, for example. You'll find a lot more attractive women working menial jobs than you will in the big city. They aren't typically well-educated, but they aren't all dumb either. The trick is finding one who is a decent human being, and looks tell you nothing about this.

    Does she like to care for others? Is she industrious? Does she hold a job and save any of her earnings? The one advantage an older guy has is that he can use his life experience as a guide to evaluate these things. He should be wise in this regard, but unfortunately there are a lot of old fools out there.

    That’s a great point. If you aren’t being properly appreciated demand it. If she’s fundamentally decent and married you for the right reasons – she wanted a life companion, a family, and values a long lasting marriage/stable home for her children she’ll make an effort. People go into marriage with a ton of unrealistic expectations and you have to communicate your way through them. I think when people say “settle” they mostly mean get realistic of what you can attract looks-wise.

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every "we buy houses" guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn't always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can't be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they'd had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn't moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren't people who didn't call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn't think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it's hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it's time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It's worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

    You need to get out more. You must not know any marriageable women. The ones you describe are a minority. The ones you want are a majority, but they are not loud and obnoxious enough to gain your attention.

    Embrace a theologically conservative version of Christianity. Find a church and become a worker bee in that church. (Make sure it is big enough to have a relatively large number of nubile candidates.) Work, and work hard there. Solve their problems. Be a gentleman. Pay attention to the nubiles. Look for symmetry. If you have physical, intellectual or spiritual defects, don’t target Shannon Breem as a potential spouse. For example, if you like the symphony, and she prefers watching the professional bull riders, move on. Don’t expect to marry Miss America or Miss Rodeo Queen.

    You can make this work, but don’t listen Whiskey and the Eeyore brigade. It won’t be easy, but it will be worthwhile.

    We will all die, and no one wants to die alone, unmissed and unmourned. If you have no children, or if you have them and you neglect them, you will die alone, unmissed and unmourned. And that is just the materialist perspective. If you reject materialism, you have an even greater motivation to embrace something more than just you.

    It sounds like a country song in and of itself, but it's true. Believe it or not as you will, I don't care.

    I was at the steel guitar convention and got into a conversation with a fellow attendee. He was of the "urban cowboy" type and was starting out on steel guitar, having bought an expensive doubleneck pedal steel and all the trimmings at the show there last year.

    I asked him why he got into steel guitar and he eventually allowed as to how his real goal was to be good enough to be in the road band of a certain country queen who was then just fading out on the charts. She'd had a fair career and was not considered "the greatest ever" by anyone (so no, we are not talking Miss BJ Backjaw with the big J-200....) but she definitely had some fans amongst the country cognoscenti and had more than a couple of Number Ones on her greatest hits roster. He was apparently really obsessed with her.

    I thought no more of it but a couple of years later while doing some work for a broadcast equipment manufacturer, I was in a big country market's big FM station and this woman comes in for an interview. I ran into her later and to make a long story short we wound up getting very friendly for the night. I think it was a question of "who dares wins" because mostly she's around country fans who would be pretty intimidated by her star status. She was about ten years my senior and she was, well, like any other woman, only just a little more so maybe. The actual relations were nothing special, but it seemed like more fun than playing canasta at the time, if you know what I mean.

    Definitely the most famous woman I've ever been with, to this day.

    At any rate I'm at the steel guitar convention the next Labor Day (I went a lot because, well, it's in St. Louis and I was living close by and had little else to do) and sure enough Mr. Fanboy was still there. i couldn't resist talking to him, asking about his progress , that kind of thing. He allowed as to how he was still practicing but wasn't there yet. He still wanted to get good enough to be in a working road band for, you guessed it, the same gal. I asked him if he'd ever met her, you know, because ho did he know she'd be even any good to work for? Of course, he hadn't, he'd seen her live seven or eight times but never actually talked to her or anything. I never let on about my, ahem, knowledge of this woman....I just thought his puppylike admiration was funny. He adored her like she was the Virgin Mary.

    The woman in question is still working on occasion but hasn't went out with a touring road band in a long time. I wonder if that guy is still practicing his steel playing.

    I'm married. What I was trying to point out (my fault that I wasn't being clear) is that the types of people who write these types of articles, these hyper-feminists, who declare that nobody is good enough for themand that they would prefer to die alone really don't offer anything to the traditional man, making them useless.

    I do think, and believe, that a large portion of women are perfectly fine but the irony comes from the fact that the least desirable of the bunch seem to believe they are the best of. Completely upside down morality system coupled with a delusional sense of self-worth.

    And I certainly agree the materialist perspective of life is inherently worthless. I can trace my family back at least 400 years and it provides a different perspective on the social/familial dynamic when I can read about the things my ancestors have done. I think the best we can do is try to form harmonious family units and pass on familial and cultural history to our descendants. The world is an old place and the modern smartphone and social media culture is so vapid that if people only experience the here and now, forgetting their past before the fabled 21st century, then the world is going to be much worse off.

    And sometimes they're so badly hurt that they're just nonfunctional, can't be stewarded out of it. Women have a high degree of Agreeableness, but unfortunately it's to society in general and other women in particular as opposed to men in general and their husband in particular. If society tells them to, a surprising fraction of women will go full bore Medea [1] or Clytemnestra [2] on a man who has done nothing except be away at work too many hours a week, or (less severe case) destroy anything in the family that the woman doesn't like.

    This suggests that the real culprit in this is "society". If men want functional women, people who will actually look out for their own welfare and that of their children, men will have to re-make society so that it tells women to do that. As it is now, "dying alone" like Medea or Clytemnestra (who did leave descendants, suicidal ones) is the ultimate praiseworthy goal for women, who are told that this will deliver the ideal husband to them, or at least a rewarding life [3, 4]. The actual women I've seen who tried this do not seem happy with themselves, and in some cases are so wrapped up in pretending that everything has worked out well that they appear mildly psychotic.

    The above lie is horribly cruel, and should be treated as such. Society must be changed until the lie is no longer told [6].

    As Daniel Williams points out, there isn't really any alternative save, perhaps, extinction.

    She said she bought into society’s deafening message that being with a man – any man – is better than being alone,
     
    Deafening message? I, for one, don't know if I have ever heard that message. What I have heard, thousands of times, is silly women telling me I've heard that message. Is there a term for this? Echo-chamber-itis?

    You know, Progressives spend so much time telling people that they're hearing something that they're not at all hearing, that they think they actually are hearing it. This syndrome is pandemic among the Woke. Another one is the spiel that entertainment media is always showing us black men as thugs and bad guys. Really?? That's as far from the truth as one can possibly be, yet you hear it repeated constantly. And still, all I see on TV are black doctors and lawyers and computer nerds and well off black men dating white women. Where are all the thugs?

    A key to this is that these assertions are almost never followed by actual examples. It's just asserted and assumed to be true. OF COURSE it's true! How can you even ask?

    The other thing they do is rewrite history, claiming the past was more “oppressive” than it actually was. Before 1970, American’s didn’t live in a 24/7 war zone against women and minorities. The popularity of Motown and countless female authors might be the first tip off to that…

    You’re doing the typical naive binomial-tree (the retarded one that that implies that everyone’s descended from Genghis Khan or some other shit), and propagating the same stupidity forwards.

    The unconditional probability that any human in the current cohort does anything of long term consequence (that results in their name being remembered, a century after the event, by more than 100 people), is ~1:70-million, assuming that of the current human population, about a thousand people’s names will be widely-known in a century (seems charitable).

    Those unconditional probabilities are uncorrelated over time, so the joint probability that one of your descendants makes the cut is the product of the marginal probabilities. They’re near enough to zero within each generation, so plim(Π) → 0.

    The weak correlation introduced in cousin-fucking cultures (like the Bayou People, Pakistanis and the Ashkenazim), are offset by other confounders…e.g., the hereditary diseases that arise in cousin-fucking cultures.

    Remember, most women are bad at making big decisions. But are very good at rationalizing those decisions afterwords.
     
    To rationalize is part of our survival kit - all neurotic defense mechanisms are. That's how we get along, not least socially: By neglecting, lying, avoiding, downplaying etc. etc. - all kinds of truths. Truth is a sharp edged thing. Women understand that perfectly well and don't care too much therefor.

    (I think, that Raymond Chandler would have agreed).

    Result: Women usually get along better than men do. Life is unfair - not least to nerds...

    Btw. I didn't know this bonmot by Carl Schmidt, one of the more eminent figures in European (?) history of the mind of the 20th century, who greatly influenced (amongst others) Leo Straus: "Only a person who has had such big troubles to decide for himself could have come up with a Theory of Decesiveness****." (My translation).

    **** saying that politics is less about being right than about knowing that things have to be done. Politics thus for Schmitt is the acceptance of diverging interests and vital (=unavoidable) conflict between nations/states. Thus the importance of the enemy for politics. - For Derrida, Schmitt was interesting, because Schmitt too in his eyes, had a knack for the other/ otherness as a structural necessity of our existence.

    No woman and certainly not Madonna has to work very hard to find some live sperm shooting male who will bust inside her, especially after a little booze. Her selection of a mestizo exercise coach to sire her first offspring when she probably could have had an astronaut, a Navy SEAL, or a HoF-bound MLB player does seem bizarre to me.

    If she did work this out before the deed was done I guess it shows a certain decency on her part.

    I don't know - a lot of times people who are most vehement know they are wrong but feel they cannot back off of the ledge they have put themselves on.

    I do think you are right about journalism attracting people with high verbal IQ and neuroticism. I know several people who write for a living and have national platforms, and while definitely smart they generally they have their perspective and everything is funneled through that, and each of them have a somewhat nervous energy to them. They also seem a little unaware of how their personality/behavior sometimes leaves people scratching their heads a bit - they aren't autistic or Asperger people, but maybe live a bit inside their own heads more than the average person. I like each of them on a personal level, but with one exception they have definitely chosen a side (the left, of course) and I cannot think of an example of them writing something that goes against orthodoxy.

  262. I have a different take – I think the preoccupation with “dying alone” reveals a strong neurosis, which is hardly surprising given that women are the more neurotic sex. But it is an unhealthy disorder if it interferes with the normal enjoyment of life activities, which it appears to do. Even more so if the subject has invented this political justification for what is clearly a psychological problem. The level of rationalization and inventiveness involved in self-deception is far below this, which appears far more sophisticated of a delusion so that it can be aimed at deceiving others as well – for a political purpose. It is very calculating. So it is a significant finding; it suggests a degree of sociopathy.

    If the premise of this contrived argument were even remotely true then marriage would cease to exist because it is women who are the choosers in the marital arena. They are the only ones advocating for and pushing matrimony. If it were driven by “the patriarchy”, it wouldn’t exist, because there is literally no benefit to marriage for men and instead only liabilities and disadvantages. (Assume that we’re referring to the United States – not familiar with how it might work elsewhere).

    It is interesting because historically marriages have never been about romantic relationships; they have been about procreation and creating a partnership that enables business and social activities to flourish, with only a small view towards the impact on personal relationships.

    So, marriage has been a vehicle for cementing alliances between families, for creating economic stability through the formation of a nuclear family which allows for the multi-generational processes of the inheritance of assets to continue (which in the past have been based on primogenitor – perhaps this is where the allegations of patriarchal design originate?), and about fulfilling religious obligations (prohibitions against extra-marital sex).

    But traditionally, until the 20th century, it has NOT been about romance or the personal relationship and certainly not about some “emotional fulfillment” purportedly achieved from a marriage. Not really anywhere in the West. But even not here in the US.

    The modern reconceptualization of marriage as a romantic discovery, a union of “soul mates” is a fascinating piece of modern mythology – fostered by the very people who write and consume syrupy Hallmark greeting cards and maudlin made-for-television relationship dramas and trashy romance novels – in other words, women.

    There are two things that strip away the veneer of these deceptions; the infidelity/divorce rate, and the existence of the female spoils system (alimony). These clearly show the charade for what it is.

    The house can usually be saved but most of the stuff in it has to go. All wood furniture or furniture worth reupholstering is savable, stuff in other rooms may be okay depending on airflow. Often times the rotted body is accompanied by significant hoarding and clothes long piled on the floor condemn both the clothes and the carpet even without a dead body in it. If the body was on the floor the floor will probably have to be cut out and patched.

    Depending on the housing market, and the location of the house, even a savable house will often simply be demolished so the buyers can build an entirely new structure to their liking in a desirable subdivision or neighborhood with, ahem, good schools. So the value of the raw ground can actually go up a little, because to buy into an existing desirable community usually one is stuck with the existing houses. Otherwise one would not be permitted to demolish the house, but this usually is an approvable pretext, and if not a mysterious fire usually breaks out, just enough to smoke damage and bring out the FD and its hoses. Every "we buy houses" guy knows a guy who knows a guy who is a pro torch and knows all the tricks to leave no definite evidence. Squirrels with a taste for insulation, spontaneous combustion from linseed oil on certain cloths, whatever.

    Our church has had several people whose parents, aunts or uncles, whatever, have suffered this fate. It happens more and more. It isn't always old people either. There was a case in my neighborhood where a woman in her early fifties died in her sleep-they think sleep apnea heart attack, but can't be sure-and being a divorced empty nester, her daughter came home from her college graduation after not hearing from Mom for over a month. They were not on the best terms, but she assumed Mom would show up or at least call. She opened the door and promptly vomited from the stench: they later figured the mother had been dead roughly a month. They completely gutted and cyanide gassed the house, not even trying to save her impressive library and some fine furniture.

    Later neighbors were queried and admitted that they'd had the occasional whiff of something funky smelling from the house and found it odd her car hadn't moved in a long while, but no one said anything to authorities. These weren't people who didn't call cops, they were white suburbanites who would have but just didn't think that it was significant.

    Some of these deaths are natural, some are suicides, occasionally foul play is involved but when dealing with a sufficiently rotted corpse, it's hard to tell and although forensic anthropology is a thing, it's time and money not usually spent without definite indicators.

    The most repulsive cases are where the single homeowner dies in the swimming pool and is not found for a long time. After a week or so much of the chlorine evaporates off and the water decay really sets in. It's worse than a floater in the lake or river because the pool gets saturated with the putrescent gases and even hardened death professionals tend to barf working these cases.

    Not OT:

    When You Die, I’ll Be There to Take Your Stuff

    I spend my days clearing every last thing from homes of the recently deceased and soon-to-be-departed. The only thing odder is entertaining the cast of characters who swoop in to buy it all up

    (Special feature; talks about Jews and Nazi Stuff, as an aside. ) Author was “raised Jewish”. It is interesting.
