Carl Benjamin 15:43: We can chart the decline of IQ in the west. And if the newest generations are any indication, we are looking at future generations who will be severely cognitively impaired because of what technological progress has done to their reading comprehension and attention spans. There is no reason to think that in only a few generations hence that the kind of people we produce then will even be able to comprehend the science that we have acrued now, let alone build upon it.
Aha. But what about AI? The liberal might cry. But even then, they are admitting that things have gotten away from us and that Lewis's prophecy is the only avenue which they have left to travel. Will they not be satisfied until the whole human race is babied out of existence by machines of loving grace.
Who would ensure that our diminishing power over ourselves or the future leaves us as the future fellaheen of a technological dystopia we don't even recognize as a dystopia. Roch, Fukuyama, and the rest of the Brontosauruses can continue to blandly assert that the woke right is like the woke left in that it doesn't care about truth. But there are higher truths that liberalism itself seeks to render invisible because it has no answer for them.
What can Fukyama say to people who mock him with the return of history? Nothing substantive, of course. And it's not to say that Fukuyama is even wrong on this point. If everything had continued, as the liberals of the late nineties assumed that they would, we would indeed be living in a post-national world where the thymos of the people was not connected to their collective sense of belonging. But those assumptions did not pan out..
The thymotic far right is on the rise everywhere because we do not wish to give up our nations nor the history that they contain within them. We will not become fellaheen, the historyless people whose entire purpose revolves around the satisfaction of their animalistic desires. Instead, we will carry the burden of our history within us and pass it on to our children.
And the liberal dinosaurs will go extinct because their old-fashioned philosophy has nothing truthful to say about the present moment. They can complain that we aren't prepared to go back onto the liberal Buckleite plantation, but those days are done. That ship has sailed. The asteroid has arrived and it is wiping them out. We can see what the liberals plan for the future is because we are living through it in the present.
Despite what Steven Pinker, Fraser Nelson, and all of the other relics, frozen in amber have to say about it, the world is not at all getting better. Indeed, it is palpably worse, and everyone can see it when they walk outside of their front doors.
Liberalism is the only philosophy to blame for this state of affairs because it has had no rival for the last thirty years. So, swallow your medicine and get ready for change because the liberal has one last invisible truth that they have to face before we finally turn them into fossils. You did this to us and we are not going to forgive you for it.

Investing in diverse business could boost UK equity market
It’s difficult for female-led businesses to find investment, but if more funds were made available, it could boost UK equity, according to research
More investment in businesses led by women and ethnic minorities could increase the UK equity market by 13%, according to research.
Government-led initiative Investing in Women Code found that though its signatories are making progress when it comes to funding female founders, research from The Gender Index shows the number of active female-led companies in the UK dropped in 2024, and while diversity is increasing in the startup ecosystem, more needs to be done to support women in the space.

The Inversion Matrix has you
Come closer. I've got something to tell you. Something is happening across the Western world. You can feel it on the streets, in the courts, at work and online. It's not just political, it's not just cultural, it's psychological. A silent shift is underway and it has a name: The Inversion Matrix. Five sections.
Section 1: The reversal begins. In this new system, the native becomes the intruder, the majority becomes the villain, and the truth becomes hate speech. The very people whose ancestors built these nations, who raised the families, killed the land and paid taxes, now find themselves apologizing for simply existing. How did this happen?
Section 2. Psychological engineering and guilt programming. It began with psychological engineering. First injecting a programming a constant stream of reminders about colonialism slavery privilege and oppression Then plot the language with weaponized labels Racist, transphobe, Islamophobe, far-right. Each designed to shut down conversation. To train you, to self-censor and to submit. This isn't about justice. It's about control to confusion.
Section 3. The two-tier system of compassion Look around and you'll see it As a matter of fact, I think that you know it already Certain groups can gather publicly in the name of religion or pride Others are fined, silenced or arrested for praying silently Crimes by one group are explained away as trauma, misunderstanding or cultural norms same crime committed by someone else, instant outrage, national headlines and cancellation. We have moved from equal rights to engineered imbalance from justice for all to justice selectively applied.
Section 4 Institutional Capture Every major institution in the Western world has been taken over by the same ideological virus. Schools no longer teach pride in culture, but shame in history. Police now investigate feelings, not felonies. Media filters truth through an ideological lens. Where facts are problematic and narratives are sacred. Even churches and temples now bow down to slogans instead of scriptures. This is called institutional capture and it's not accidental.
Section 5 is the long game. Divide, demoralize and replace. But why? Because a divided, guilt-ridden and morally paralyzed society is easier to govern. Shutter its tradition, drown it in important ideologies, redefine its language and turn its people against themselves. This is what I keep trying to say. These are the true crux to the matrix. The end goal Not justice, not harmony, But a population too confuse, to resist, and to fragmented, to unite.
But let's be clear. This isn't a war between races, or religions, or genders. It's a war between truth and programming. Between those who remember who they are and those who have been re-thought to forget. You don't need to hate anyone, but you do need to see. Because the longer we stay silent, the more the Inversion Matrix tightens. Until what was once solid, identity, family, faith, law, it becomes liquid, then meaningless.,then gone. This isn't about hate, I repeat. This is about survival. And if you're still listening, it means the program didn't fully work on you — not yet.

Post-Dual Boot Cleanup – Reclaiming Lost Partition Space After Removing Ubuntu
“This isn’t my usual post about vulnerabilities, bug bounty, or web security. This time, it’s something different — a persistent issue I hit after removing Ubuntu from a dual-boot setup. It messed up my partitions, left behind EFI boot entries, and blocked nearly 100 GB of usable space.”
“After trying several tools and commands (many of which failed), I finally resolved it — so here’s a write-up for anyone facing the same frustrating post-dual-boot cleanup.”

Wokeism is envisioned as a modern-day revival of an ancient, shape-shifting cult. It masquerades as a force for justice and liberation but conceals a deeper, metaphysical hunger — for deconstruction, dissolution, and chaos.
Its priesthood preaches moral purity, not through personal virtue but through ideological conformity. Its rituals involve public confessions, social purges, and the digital burning of heretics. Its sacred texts are ever-changing, written not on stone but in shifting code—hashtags, trends, and institutional decrees.
At its heart lies a pantheon of abstract deities: Power, Identity, Oppression, and Equity — each demanding sacrifice. The old gods of Reason, Dialogue, and Shared Humanity are cast down or redefined as oppressive relics. Human nature is not something to be understood, but something to be overwritten.
Its eschatology is apocalyptic: a vision of total transformation, where the world is cleansed of all "problematic" structures — even if it means tearing down civilization itself. The enemy is not merely injustice, but the human condition itself: flawed, diverse, and irreducibly complex.

Jordan Peteson 01:02:14: Well, you made an illusion when you were talking about what you regard as the unfortunate effect of X on Elon and maybe on other users. So, let's assume that that you were afraid that this the sort of things that you were seeing happening to others more than merely Elon, let's say, in your estimation, were also happening to you. And so what do you think in retrospect, what do you think it was doing to you?
You just talked about the effects on your family on vacations. I've experienced a fair bit of that. I understand exactly what you're saying. Um, and it does seem like the world's burning and you better do something about it right now. And it's no wonder it seems that way because it's lots of people and generally in our normative ecosystems. If lots of people appear to be upset with you or around you, you should pay attention. But Twitter isn't the real world. We don't know what the hell it is. You know, it looks more and more like a world of demonic bots, and God only knows what that world is.
But what did you see, especially now that you've been away for a while, what elements of your character do you think were pathized and that were brought to the forefront that Well, yeah.
Sam Harris: So, first of yeah, I was I was I considered myself a fairly careful user of it. I mean, I I I was not at all like Elon. I was not, you know, addicted to it in that way. I was not tweeting hundreds of times a day. I think I averaged something like three tweets a day over the course of my use of it. And that would come in spurts. I mean, so I there would be I would not tweet for 3 days and then send out a dozen tweets, you know, because it was some hot topic. Um, I was always fairly careful so that I I honestly don't think I ever said anything on the platform that I regretted, right? I mean, if I ever made a mistake, I apologize for it.
But I was I never you know I treated it like writing. I treat I I was aware I was publishing in that channel however quickly uh and impulsively I was you know I'm a much I'm enough of a writer and an academic to feel like okay this is yet another occasion where embarrassment is possible and you don't want that. So I never I'm not I don't remember ever really screwing up on the platform. And yet what happened there was I mean I can honestly say that for a decade the worst things in my life and in some sense the only bad things in my life came from Twitter came from my interaction with Twitter. I mean apart from like a fam you know family illnesses you know that's leaving something leaving that aside.
My life was so good and yet I had this you know digital serpent in my pocket that I would consult a dozen times a day. Twenty times a day maybe a hundred times a day. I again I might have only posted once or twice but if something was really you know if the news cycle was really churning I might be looking at this this my consulting of this this news feed effectively um was interrupting my day.
You know not just every hour but maybe every five minutes of many hours right or for ten minutes of that hour and and so it was segmenting my day however good that day or productive that day was or should have been. I was constantly chopping it up by how I was engaging with this scroll.
Again mostly consuming but you know often in response to the one or two things I had put out. Um, yes, there was a dopamineeric component to that. Obviously, you know, I said something that I thought was clever that was perceived as clever by my fans, you know, and perhaps to the detriment of my enemies. And, you know, that all that seemed, you know, exactly what it what I wanted in the moment. But even when it was at its best, right, even when there was just good information coming to me and I was responding it happily with good information back, even the even the non-toxic version of it was a a style of, was intrinsically fragmenting of my life.
You know, it's like I I like I don't pick up, I don't I don't read a book that way. I don't I don't have a book that I pick up for 2 and 1/2 minutes and then I put down and then try to have a conversation with my kid and then say, "Okay, hold on one second." and pick up the book again. It's like that's not how you that's not not how anyone reads a book. Right. Um and yet Twitter far too often became that sort of thing in my life.
Jordan Peteson: Right. Right. And it's like a parasite. It's like it parasitizes the exploratory instinct. (01:07:16)

Wokeism could be understand as a cross between a religous cult and the cordyceps fungus. Together with Social Media, functions like rhizomorphs, infecting minds and rewriting behavior with ruthless efficiency. One wrong tweet can lead to public shaming, “cancelation,” or worse — professional ruin or metaphorical imprisonment by mobs that seem to have lost all reason.
Dissent isn’t merely discouraged; it is violently purged. It’s a total mental takeover where nuance dies, conformity rules, and anyone who steps out of line gets devoured. This is not debate or dialogue — it is ideological infection and behavioral control, plain and simple.
