Why Bitcoin Has Value

A video request from a client:

Zion and Capitol Reef National Parks

Climbed "Angel's Landing" which consists of a harrowing scaling of the "spine" of a very narrow butte with about 2,000 foot drops on each side.  I will be uploading "360 panorama" pictures once I compile them.

Bridget Brown - Proof the Media Doesn't Know Jack About Economics

Don't know how this one escaped my radar.  It's 2 years old, but mercy does it show just how stupid people are.



Yeah, the maths are hard, aren't they girls?

Cappy's Las Vegas Adventure

Sadly it does not entail lewd prostitutes, run ins with the mafia, nor winning a Texas Hold 'Em tournament, but rather climbing Turtleback Peak and hiking the Gold Strike Hot Springs Canyon by Hoover Dam.  Regardless, not one penny of GDP was made during the production of this western adventure:

Once More, Into the Breach

Greetings all,

Posts may be a bit sparse as I'm about to do a four day whirlwind hike hitting four national parks in four days:

Zion
Capitol Reef
Canyonlands
Colorado National Monument

Your patience during these "difficult times" is appreciated.

Progressive Credentialism Gone Awry

The Boomers will rue the day they made it so hard for successive generations to become productive members of society.  If for any other reason than they cut off the only source of their social security/pension - future generations.

I Don't Care If Society Collapses

A defense I have to make every once in a while when my "No Child Manifesto" videos get rediscovered is that I, being a sentient, self-aware individual, who is entitled to his own life, has no obligation to engage in some kind of "breeding-race war" to outbreed different cultures or races.  I, being 100% entitled to all the minutes in my life may choose how to spend them however I damn well please and if I choose not to bring children into this world, then so be it.

One of, if not, the largest benefit of not having children is that I really have no vested interest in the future of this, or any other country, beyond my life expectancy.  And therefore, no matter how bad things seem to get, I can glibly move on in life, enjoying my conscious minutes here drinking Rumpie, motorcycling, and enjoying the decline.  Call it selfish, call it mean, call it whatever you want, it's reality.  I'll be dead by that time and won't care, let alone be cognizant of what's going around post-mortem-Cappy.

However, it is interesting to kind of clock or measure where we are along different stages of society collapse.  Again, I have no personal vested interest where we are along this spectrum, but it does make for an interesting academic discussion.  Though I must confess I have a morbid entertainment interest in watching Sweden collapse within my lifetime. Unlike the US, I believe I'll seen Sweden collapse within my lifetime.

But At Least It's "Hip" to Vote for Socialism

Remember spoiled brat suburbanite and ghetto brainwashed youth - when you vote left because it's fashionable this is the end result.

New Material Month

I tried listening to liberal talk radio for a while.  It was painful.  But one thing I did take away from it, especially listening to the Ed Schulz Show, is how they define themselves via conservative talk radio.

Since liberal talk shows have no real core, no real depth or logic or intellectual honesty, and merely advocate "other people's money" as the solution to all the world's problem, the entertainment value, let alone the intellectually-engaging value is near zero.  It is merely the radio-incarnation of a bum on the street begging for other people's money, and you can imagine how boring (and predictable) the bum's story is about why he needs "spare change."  Because of this format around 70% of liberal talk radio is slamming on "republicans" and comparing themselves to Rush Limbaugh.  And nowhere is this better displayed than the Ed Schulz Show where he can't go an episode without mentioning Rush Limbaugh, whereas I don't even think Rush Limbaugh has uttered Ed's name once.

However, I noticed something similar happening in the Manosphere.  A plurality, and sometimes a majority, of the posts and articles being written are in response to, and thus being defined by, feminism.

This does not mean that The Manosphere is as vapid and coreless as liberal talk radio.  It does have a core, it is founded in legitimate, genuinely, and completely new philosophy/thinking.  And it does have a noble and altruistic purpose.  Ergo, it can stand on its own.  But what I've found after reading ROK and Viva, etc., is that it is becoming merely and increasingly reactionary to feminism or the latest feminist bint spewing the most idiotic of ideas.

Realize that while most of which feminism and socialism advocates is outlandishly stupid, and certainly deserves a response, the truth is their numbers and stupidity are staggering and incomprehensible.  This has resulted in a limitless number of stupid ideas and stupid thoughts flooding the idea marketplace.  And while your visceral reaction may be to shoot each and everyone of them down, I fear all it is doing is driving traffic to otherwise unremarkable and irrelevant feminists.  Additionally, as you know, I believe the situation in America is unsalvagable, so why bother wasting your time rushing from fire to fire to vainly put them out?

Ergo, I am suggesting something for The Manosphere and all content generators within - a month where not one reactionary article or post is written in response to the latest idiotic antics of western feminists.

Not to say we'd be abandoning them forever and letting the rooster rule the roost, but for a month, instead of giving them an absolute value of attention, we dedicate our efforts and focus towards other more-productive topics.  We already are covering health, working out, finance, economics, philosophy, etc., which can more than adequately compensate for the lull in feminist-related topics, but perhaps we can also discover new fields and pioneer new lines of thought.

In short, I'm done responding like a Pavlovian dog to the newest of the never-ending retarded ideas coming from the left.  I'm going to focus on something else for a while.  All authors, bloggers, and internet personalities are welcome to join me this month.

An Interesting Way to Pay Off Your Student Loans - AKA "Your Credit Score Doesn't Matter"

Consider this lieutenants, economists, agents in the field, and chilllldren!

What if you did three simple things:

1.  Never bought a house because it's too risky
2.  Never bought an expensive car because you always paid cash
3.  Never took on any credit card debt, insisting to pay off the balance every month?

Why, you'd never have any reason to borrow money.  And since you'd never have any reason to borrow money...

your credit score wouldn't matter.

Arrived In Vegas

Posts will continue at a semi-regular schedule.

Currently enroute driving from Minneapolis to Vegas.  Posts will be sparse until Tuesday.

The Economic Reason There's Ladies Night and Not Men's Night

I shall explain this a briefly, though this is an excellent write up about the epitome of ladies night.

Every bar's business model is based on getting women into their establishment.  The reason is simple - men will buy drinks for both men and women.  Women won't even buy drinks for themselves.  In other words women themselves aren't really ever viewed as customers as much as they are in fact marketing.

Sadly this means most night clubs are really nothing more than "more polite" strip clubs designed to extract money from men.

YOu guys really do have a choice.  You can just refuse to go to night clubs.  Not saying you won't hook up. Not saying you won't get a phone number.  But for the time, effort and money you have to expend to do well at a night club, there are plenty of places where you'd do much better.

Average Married Dad

Thanks Dad!

Plus a fan in Wyoming who doesn't hate me.  But then again he lives in Cheyenne which is much more cosmopolitan and less trailer trashy than the rest of the state.

"Land War With Russia"

The problem I face with the Crimea is that it is not a clear cut situation and there are very few outlets telling me what is going on and more importantly why.  Steve Sailer comes to the rescue and provides more insight than average.

Finally Home Linkage

Molyneux has an absolute must of a podcast.  You can listen to it this weekend.

Another person picks up on what I've been saying for about a decade now - worthless degreed people end up going into politics and this is why you have incompetents like Trudeau and Obama in office.

Aurini finally gets off his ass and does a podcast.
