Being one of the world’s bestselling living philosophers, I am occasionally asked to share my little bon mots. This is challenging, because I very seldom bother to read, or even remember, what I have written. Fortunately, Vox dAI is capable of keeping track of such things, and even shows a certain flair for transforming my […] The post Quotes to Contemplate appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
Clown World can’t hide the bodies, but they have been able to hide the cause of death and the growing number of post-vaccine deaths using a variety of statistical “corrections”. ETHICAL SKEPTIC: On left is the raw unprocessed infant death data fm the CDC – a 25-year legacy trend. On right is the disciplined inflection […] The post Hiding the Bodies: A Dialogue appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
In its futile attempts to keep control of the West, Clown World has completely botched the two primary geostrategic priorities of the imperial USA. Clown World is clearly cooked at this point, even if it somehow manages to fix its growing number of self-inflicted problems in the USA, the UK, and the EU, which it […] The post The Dragon and the Elephant appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
The transformation of Silicon Valley into Mumbai-by-the-Bay was no accident: Built by Americans. Captured by Foreigners. Post #1 How foreign interests infiltrate, capture, and gut American companies from the inside. This is no longer a theory. It has happened. And we have the blueprint. In 2023, a U.S. attorney exposed how a company he worked […] The post Game Theory and Foreign Insourcing appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
Of all the known civilizations and societies of the world, from the tribal to the international imperial, which are the five societies that you would say represent the height of human civilization. Each society must have lasted at least 50 years to qualify. I have selected five societies based on a combination of lasting impact on […] The post The Idealism of the Machine appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
And so it begins… Be sure to keep some cash handy at all times. I assume Clown World will manage to muddle through this initial bank crisis one way or another. But it’s not going to be the last one, as the combination of refusing to buy Russian gas and massive spending on Ukraine and […] The post Credit Card Outage in France appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
I understand why the announcers are encouraged to refer to the yardage point that will give a first down as “the line to gain” since it is a line and not a “first down” in itself. But it’s awkward and doesn’t sound like a football term. Which is why I suggest “line to go” to […] The post Line to Go appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
I very much doubt the recent federal appeals court ruling striking down President Trump’s emergency tariffs is going to survive Supreme Court review: A federal appeals court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers granted by Congress to impose tariffs, opening the door for the administration to potentially have to repay […] The post Trump’s Tariffs Overturned appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
The IDF was just forced to retreat from a supposedly nonexistent battalion: There is an ironic article in Haaretz today — ironic because of breaking news as I write this at 10 pm eastern time — with the title, Inside Gaza City’s Zeitoun, IDF Insists Its Seventh Incursion Will Finally Defeat Hamas. Here are a […] The post Perhaps the 8th Try’s the Charm appeared first on Vox Popoli.| Vox Popoli
In June, Fandom Pulse reported on the collapse of Unbound Publishing. We even discussed this a little on last night’s Arkhaven Nights, as the left-wing comic book book industry activist who was mentioned in the piece has transformed herself into an anti-AI activist. That was the shot. Here is the chaser. This morning, I was […]| Vox Popoli
What we have here is a failure to connect the obvious dots: Over the next 30 years this emphasis on equalizing gender roles at home as well as at work produced a revolutionary transformation in Americans’ attitudes. It was not instant. As late as 1977, two-thirds of Americans believed that it was “much better for […]| Vox Popoli
This appears to indicate that I actually underestimated the negative effect of increased female labor force participation on wages, although I suspect that in extrapolating their research to the present, they haven’t accounted for the concomitant reduction in 55+ male employment that took place post-1960: A cardinal rule of economics is that increases in the […]| Vox Popoli
Allegedly, anyhow. FBI agents raided former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton’s DC-area home this morning in a high-profile national security probe. The raid began at 7:00 AM and is continuing as of the publication of this story. That was certainly unexpected. Maybe we’ll get those treason trials after all… UPDATE: Confirmed by the New […]| Vox Popoli
We’re receiving the first reports of the Library edition of A SEA OF SKULLS showing up in private libraries across America. Thanks to those who have sent in pictures confirming their receipt. It’s really great to see all five volumes together like that. I’m looking forward to eventually being able to display them all on […]| Vox Popoli
There are four obvious things to be gleaned from this very long article about Nick Fuentes, who is an even nastier and more pathetic piece of work than I’d ever imagined. “Take the loyalty pledge. I will kill, rape, and die for Nick Fuentes. Raise your right hand. Everybody raise your right hand. Raise your […]| Vox Popoli
It’s really remarkable to see how the European Union is doubling down on its own irrelevance: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has called for more pressure on Moscow ahead of the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump. Foreign ministers of the bloc’s member states held an urgent video-conference […]| Vox Popoli
People are noticing that the best and brightest don’t tend to be meaningfully employed these days: Every smart person I know is failing My brother who was the valedictorian of our high school is unemployed.

So President Trump has imposed a 39 percent tariff on Switzerland. This has a direct impact on all the Castalia Library books now being produced in Switzerland, beginning with the Byzantine histories and Dracula. Now, the tariff is imposed on the declared value, not the retail price, so it’s not quite as bad as it looks, but it is a bit of a problem going forward since the discounts provided to subscribers for paying in advance don’t account for this additional expense to the 12 or so boo...| Vox Popoli
Zerohedge contemplates the recent announcement of a meeting between the Presidents of the USA and Russia: Following the announcement of a trade deal with the EU at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland, peace talks in the Ukraine conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin are now scheduled in Alaska.

The decisions of the US presidents in the lead-up and progress of the Special Military Operation have been so uniformly retarded and suboptimal that it won’t surprise me in the least if Putin walks away from the upcoming talks in Alaska with Alaska. Steve Witkoff’s visit to Moscow has marked a striking shift in American […]| Vox Popoli
This appeared on CDAN. And while CDAN is not as reliable as /pol/, which, of course, is always right, it is just reliable enough to make this seemingly bizarre rumor a little more credible than one might otherwise assume it to be.

Spain cancelled their order for F-35s: Spain has abandoned plans to buy dozens of F-35 fighter jets, Spanish newspaper El Pais says, citing unnamed sources in the Spanish government.

The media is portraying this recent judicial action as the banning of a fictitious, imaginary, and non-existent group. Russia’s highest court has declared the “international satanism movement” an extremist and terrorist group, despite the organization not actually existing. Members of this non-existent group could face up to eight years in prison. Senior MP Andrei Kartapolov, […]| Vox Popoli
The rapid decline of Twitter is the result of a false foundation on free money and fake advertisers rather than user-subscriptions.

You have to say this for the Diversity in Germany. They do now how to celebrate the concept.

It’s not exactly a mystery why the radical feminists never get anywhere in their endless, and futile, campaign against sexual predators. They drive off everyone who isn’t one of them, then complain that no one supports even their most reasonable efforts. They now have a rule that nothing posted on r/neilgaimanmemes can be posted on […]| Vox Popoli
