Not nearly as smart as they think they are

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. #quack #pratt #dunning-kruger bbc.com

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to cancel $500m (£376m) in funding for mRNA vaccines being developed to counter viruses that cause diseases such as the flu and Covid-19

That will impact 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses, HHS said

Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, announced he was pulling the funding over claims that "mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses"[…]
In a statement, Kennedy said his team had "reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted". "[T]he data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu," he said

He said the department was shifting the funding toward "safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate"

Kennedy also claimed that mRNA vaccines can help "encourage new mutations and can actually prolong pandemics as the virus constantly mutates to escape the protective effects of the vaccine"

Health experts have said that viruses mutate regardless of whether vaccines exist for them

This was true every year for the flu virus, for example, said Dr Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia[…]
Dr Offit, who invented the rotavirus vaccine, said the funding cancellation could put the US in a "more dangerous" position to respond to any potential future pandemic. He noted mRNA vaccines have a shorter development cycle, which is why they were crucial to responding to the Covid-19 pandemic

Daily reminder that the only thing that disqualifies males from fitting every criteria for "parasite" is that "true" parasites don't promote their host's fitness (false and dated idea, by the way). Ecologically, there is only a semantic difference between a human male and a parasitic wasp. Another daily reminder is that the human male's niche in society can't be described as anything other than adult brood parasitism - the female using her finite caretaking resources to nurture something other than her genetic offspring.

The human male is by every measure the most successful parasitic organism on earth. First it uses you to incubate its descendants, then it makes you raise it until it dies of old age, often pursuing other hosts in the process. Just let this sink in a little. What other organism can boast of anything like this?

John C. Wright #dunning-kruger scifiwright.com

Ironically, it is atheist who must explain how, in a world without God, there is any such thing as free will hence human action.

If all actions in the universe, including the motions of living beings and our internal mental states, are precisely determined by molecular and atomic forces acting without intention, no intention can exist, neither within the mind, nor anywhere.

Our military exists to overthrow sovereign nations for international jews, not to protect the homeland.

There is no such thing as “treason” or “lawlessness” in a nation overthrown and occupied by a foreign government.

The occupying force will continue to exhaust and demoralize the taxpaying, law-abiding citizen with well-funded communist black operations. From school shootings to wars to PRIDE to 9/11 to Covid to open borders to J6 to George Floyd to Antifa to open borders to fires/hurricanes to chemtrails to scamflation to fake elections to BlackRock to the Holohoax to vaccines to Big Harma and all the other kosher nonsense…

And just like every other operation, the response to the Los Angeles “riots” was surely pre-baked into its planning - i.e. not a massive removal of invading browns but rather a swift and merciless removal of more freedoms for the White man through dystopian police state policies that somehow never impact the communists.

[WarKlutch] (replying to a statement by the Critical Drinker):
“Men are portrayed as dumb now” has he never watched I Love Lucy? The Three Stooges? Charlie Chaplin?

[cb86258]:
Well is there actually a debate that some directors today seem to actively enjoy or attempt to demean men? The newest Indiana Jones is a good example.

This is obviously happening. I think the debate is really how prevalent is it. Not whether or not it’s happening

[lobisomemfacanha4817]:
Unlike modern movies, these movies you listed weren't trying to make a political statement or trying to subvert gender roles unironically.

Randy Fine (R-Florida) #racist #psycho #conspiracy #dunning-kruger joemygod.com

AntiWar.com reports:

On Tuesday, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) said on X that Palestinians in Gaza should “starve away” while also claiming the reports of people dying of hunger due to the US-backed Israeli blockade are a “lie”

Fine made the comments in response to the news that 15 Palestinians, including four children, died of starvation over 24 hours

The reports of starvation deaths from Gaza’s Health Ministry are corroborated by photos and interviews with family members of those who died. Among the dead on Tuesday was six-week-old Yousef al-Safadi, who lost his life due to the lack of baby formula

Read the full article

Since winning the April special election to replace GOP Rep. Mike Waltz, Fine has called for literally nuking Gaza and has called Muslim members of Congress “terrorists”

Release the hostages

Until then, starve away

(This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)

Boymom Hate 2! (Various Anons) #ableist #dunning-kruger #fundie #sexist #crackpot lolcow.farm

Anon 1: Two things are causing this (Boymoms):

1. Microchimerism/penile origin infection/maternal scrotoplasmosis

2. The fact that being an incest boymom to your son is the only socially acceptable way to like non-walled men


Anon 2: Paternal imprinting does not only regulate resource allocation during gestation, it also regulates maternal behavior towards the offspring. It's beyond doubt that boymoms are "super-infected", suffering from higher than average levels of male microchimerism. Their behavior straight up looks diseased to an outside observer because it technically is.

Anon 3: I could not imagine having a tard son who will drain you for the rest of your life and can’t even shove that useless blob in a group home because he’s too violent. He just smacks her upside the head and she takes it and the morons on tiktok gladly cheer her on because male autists get to rape, abuse and hit people and people will always make excuses for it. I’m tired of these fucking autists and wish they would get euthanized, they are the main reason on why families and households become so dysfunctional they ruin the lives of others by their parasitic disabled existence

Episodes now play like 22-minute tweets — loud, shallow, and gone before the credits finish rolling. Parker and Stone aren’t fools. They built their careers on precision and nerve, and they can see the well has run dry. That’s why it stings more. They should know when to stop. They could walk away and leave South Park as a show that defined a generation. Instead, they’ve settled for a long, undignified victory lap. Each new season is a weekend-at-Bernie’s performance, hauling the body around for one more cheer, one more trending clip, one more reminder of what it used to be.
Politics didn’t break South Park. They’ve always done politics — and at their peak, did it brilliantly. Now the humor feeds the same apathy it once skewered. It reacts instead of anticipates, scrapes instead of sharpens.
This season set out to ridicule Trump and his orbit. In the process, it exposed something larger: a show once armed with cultural shrapnel now firing blanks, coasting on the ghost of its former glory.

Donald Trump #dunning-kruger #pratt #wingnut #conspiracy eu.usatoday.com

President Donald Trump said the Smithsonian museums in Washington are too fixated on "how bad slavery was" and other negative aspects of United States history as he promised to take aim at the "WOKE" elements inside them

Trump's remarks, made in an Aug. 19 social media post on Truth Social, came after he last week launched a review of the Smithsonian Institution and its 21 museums to remove "divisive or partisan" elements and determine whether its materials conformed to the Trump administration's views on teaching history

"The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of 'WOKE,' " Trump said in his post. "The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been"

Trump added that the Smithsonian museums contain "Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future"

"We are not going to allow this to happen," he said, comparing his review of the Smithsonian Institution to his administration's work to root out diversity, equity and inclusions initiatives from colleges and universities. "This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the 'HOTTEST' Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums"

Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia #conspiracy #dunning-kruger pittparents.com

If the trans movement cared about children, they wouldn’t push parents out of their children’s lives. Children need their parents. The narrative is being pushed that parents of LGBTQ are bad. Even in the law, you are innocent until proven guilty. But if your child says they are “trans” you are guilty until proven innocent. To prove you are innocent, you must harm your own child by transitioning them. You are not allowed to ask questions; you can only follow the child’s lead. Fortunately, a new law just passed in North Carolina that says it's not abuse for parents to refuse their kid's gender transition. This is going in the right direction, and we need this in all states.

The Trevor Project is also anti-family. It perpetuates secrets and encourages minors to talk with strangers. We all grew up knowing that if someone told you to keep secrets from your parents, that person is not to be trusted. But in the trans world, keeping secrets from parents is encouraged. In normal times, if a child is suicidal, the parents would be the first to know. But somehow this logic switched to the idea that teachers and random people care more about “trans” children than parents do - all without a shred a proof. No one cares more about their child than their parents! Why does this even have to be explained?

A random person talking to a minor and keeping secrets with that minor is a child predator NOT a child protector.

[…] The Trevor Project is a well-funded activist group pushing policies that keep parents in the dark and insert gender ideology into K-12 schools.

Finally, common sense is coming back. The Trevor project suicide hotline closed on July 17th. It is one less organization pushing the suicide myth.

[…]

Children are very innocent and naive and that’s why this movement has gone after them. Children like mine. We must keep fighting back against organizations like The Trevor Project. We must stop this movement before more children get hurt, like mine has been.

TRUEMODELOFTHEEARTH #crackpot #dunning-kruger concaveearth.net

Below is a comprehensive writeup documenting and discussing all the main themes and arguments presented in the video regarding a concave Earth model that incorporates a cardioid light path. The video covers how this model reinterprets Eratosthenes’ experiment, proposes local Sun and Moon distances, explains eclipses and parallax, and ultimately claims superiority over the standard (convex) globe model in terms of geometry, balance, and energy efficiency.
<...>
This inside‐out worldview is anchored in the cardioid—a curved shape commonly observed in nature (e.g., diffraction patterns, wave propagation, shells). According to the video, once you assume we live on the inner surface of a spherical shell, with sunlight bending or reflecting in a cardioid‐like path, it becomes possible to replicate many well‐known phenomena conventionally ascribed to a convex Earth.
<...>
The video calculates specific altitudes and diameters for the Moon and Sun:

Moon: ~3,185 km above sea level, with a diameter of ~28.4 km.
Sun: ~3,982 km high, ~36.9 km in diameter.

These figures are drastically smaller than mainstream science. Yet the video claims they match official parallax data: when observing the Sun and Moon from locations separated by 45° or 90°, the measured separation angles (1.3° or 1.8°) align with the distances derived from this concave geometry.

They further argue that the typical ~270 km diameter of the umbra during a solar eclipse likewise fits neatly with these local, smaller bodies. Rather than a massive Sun far outside Earth’s orbit, the Sun is local—shining from ~4,000 km overhead.
<...>
The standard model states the Sun is about 400 times the Moon’s diameter and ~99.99999995% of its radiation goes off into space. This is depicted as inefficient and disproportionate. In the concave model, the Sun is only ~29.9% larger than the Moon (36.9 km vs. 28.4 km in diameter), and nearly 100% of its radiation is used inside the shell, fostering life with minimal waste.

Men's Inherent Uselessness and How it Stifles Civilization

"Men gave you everything. Men created society."

No. Men held civilization back. Men fought tooth and nail against advancements and technology with every step. Men held an entire half of civilization back when they forced women out of jobs and education due to their own hysterical fear of being outdone.

Every new invention or tool to make life easier was fought against by men terrified of losing their jobs or their feeble "place" in society. Just look at their reaction to industrialization, the infamous legend of John Henry and the panic towards machines "stealing jobs".

Women have never had this panic because our "place", while traditionally laden with disrespect and danger, has at least always been secure: no machine or invention ever replaced childbirth or child-rearing.

Men's terror at being biologically useless beyond breeding has led them to stifle human advancement to retain their artificially-created "place". A global racket in which they create the problem then demand gratitude for solving it, men destroy technology to retain their jobs then demand women's gratitude for those jobs.

The few inventions by men always turn out to have a woman behind them--a women that did all the real discovery, the real work, only to have her glory and effort stolen by a worthless male.

Just look at their daily lives and how they simultaneously call themselves leaders while begging women to lead them:

"Make me a list. Just tell me what to do. Teach me. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it."

Men can't even find their own socks and wipe their own ass without women--do we really believe that they ever "invented" or "discovered" anything?

Kotakuinaction2 #transphobia #fundie #dunning-kruger kotakuinaction2.win

Leftists have been trying to invent a conspiracy that Collective Shout is secretly a "Christian" organization because they work with Catholics to ban porn, prostitution, that sort of thing. One of those dastardly villains must be behind it. Naturally they've also ignored the more liberal feminist lesbians they also work with.

Don't focus on CS. They're a willing patsy. They have no actual power in this, they're just the scapegoat to keep the (absolutely deserved) hate off of the payment processors.

Keep an eye on them, sure. But they aren't the target.

"The same censorship I wanted for you is now here for me."

I could not have predicted the thing that happens every damn time.

As soon as they take away the fringe, they move inward in the circle of tolerated things until that circle becomes a bullseye on the thing the same censorious assholes wanted gone for you hits something they like.

Now they're suddenly against the censorship they gleefully attacked the thing you like with.

They're never satisfied with the fringe, they always want more. So when the fringe stuff is attacked, you know your shit is coming to be kicked too.

There has to be a proper term for this kind of ideological blindness. I just don't know it.

The New Underworld Order (aka Crime Syndicate) is the triumph of criminalism. It’s a world in which official criminality, driven by bribery, compromise and corruption is the norm among all layers of governance.
<...>
In particular, the NUO Crime Syndicate is engaged in perpetrating crimes against humanity. A primary crime is in the form of drug-trafficking operations and armed conflict (weapons), which are controlled by the competing and simultaneously collaborating intelligence services in order to finance their corrupt operations and to sustain the corrosive global hegemony activities of the New Underworld Order (NUO) syndicate.

Intelligence communities form, wittingly or unwittingly, the backbone, as they consist essentially of esoteric secret societies promoting a system of synarchy. Rule by secret societies, or synarchy, is the essence of the conspiracy of llluminists/Frankists, who secretly place their operatives in key posts or alongside the holders of power so that only the universalist criminal policies of the NUO are pursued.

The primary characteristic of all these operatives is they are double-minded. Double-mindedness is the essence of the Hegelian dialectical methodology, which creates conflict to make “progress” or advance “history” — manipulating opposing forces in what to them is an exclusively mechanistic world.
<...>
This means that those who seek power or possess political ambition, but whose souls have not yet been sold to Satan (Illuminism), have no chance of ever wielding it — making, of course, complete nonsense of “democracy” and “freedom,” which are words that Illuminists/Frankists use as slogans to bamboozle the pajama people, who they fundamentally despise.
<...>
Thus the “democratic system” has become a plaything of the New Underworld Order of Illuminism, which has hidden behind the “conspiracy theory” lie. It’s in the hands of a self-appointed sect of very dark operatives whose will has been forfeited and bound to a Luciferian force.

Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia #dunning-kruger pittparents.com

We’re seeing a growing number of young people who are highly intelligent, introverted, anxious, and deeply immersed in virtual environments […]

[…]

An empty, unguarded mind becomes fertile ground for whatever is planted.

If truth isn’t being sown, something else will be.

In these spaces, there’s often a constant encouragement to question everything — especially your identity. Who you are. What you are. Why you feel out of place. These questions, asked in isolation and echoed in groupthink environments, can spiral into deep confusion — especially for youth who are already struggling socially or emotionally.

And when someone who’s feeling unseen finally finds a community that says, “We see you. You belong here. Your feelings define your truth,” — that’s incredibly powerful. But it can also be deeply misleading.

What many forget is this: affirmation doesn’t always equal truth. And confusion is not clarity just because it’s widely echoed.

The transgender ideology, when introduced through these platforms without critical context or balanced perspectives, can become more than a personal journey — it becomes a trend, a tribal badge, or worse, a misdiagnosed solution to deeper issues like anxiety, trauma, loneliness, or a craving for belonging.

Sometimes I think about it this way: today, a young person may say they’re trans — not because it was an unshakable truth from within, but because that’s what their environment, their online culture, and their peer group consistently reflect and affirm.

But place that same young person on a quiet farm, surrounded by cowboys and cattle dogs, and they might just be wearing boots and a hat — never once questioning their identity.

[…]

Are we giving our kids the tools they need to navigate a world that’s trying to redefine them every day?

Because if we don’t sow truth early — something else will take root.

Azisfan #crackpot #dunning-kruger tumbex.com

Also, since when males were supposed to be an "experimental sex"? Are you trying to prove greater male variability with your own philosophical interpretation of nature? That doesn't work, because what objectively males are is parasitoid genestealers, who have no purpose existing outside of perpetuating themselves. This is something geneticists will openly admit to you, because all the benefits that males supposedly bring to the species are heavily outweighted by negatives such as their high cost of production. Not to mention sexual reproduction is only theoretically good to weed out bad mutations, but practically is not helping with that at all (men accumulate a shit ton of mutations due to their rapid sperm production for starters).

[...]

PS: I cannot provide sources for my claims, sorry, but they are either searchable or logically coherent. The reason for it is that I gave up collecting all those studies like pokemons and deleted them all from my favorites, because it was really some kind of soul-draining consumerism. Ideally, just saying one contradiction should be enough to disprove it (as per the status of hypothesis) and yet I feel pressured to overexplain myself to cover all the weak spots possible. That's because people believe such things, like "women are more emotional", because they want, and therefore all the evidence for the validity of said ideas is literally fabricated by the virtue of self-fullfilling prophecy.

[From “Gleiwitz - The False Flag That Never Was”]

The Gleiwitz incident on 31. August 1939 on the eve of the German offensive against Poland is a key propagandistic trope supposed to show German responsibility for the start of World War 2[…]
First, it has to be pointed out that the notoriety of the Gleiwitz incident is purely a post World War 2 phenomenon. At the time, it received little attention and any mention in the press was only a short blip[…]
The Gleiwitz incident most certainly played no noticeable part in the German justification for going to war against Poland[…]in the Whitebook published by the German Foreign Ministry about the prehistory of the war, Gleiwitz is only mentioned in a few lines in a list of violent incidents instigated by Polish troops and insurgents[…]
There has never been any documentary evidence presented that would indicate that the Gleiwitz raid – or any of the other border incidents in the time before the war – was a German ‘false flag’[…]Essentially the only evidence is the testimony of Alfred Naujocks, a member of the SD (Sicherheitsdienst) secret service who had defected to the Allies on 19. October 1944[…]
Under these circumstances, the logical place to look for more information would normally be the files of the German police and other authorities concerned with the incident[…]
Other than this short report, there is a strange silence regarding actual contemporary official documents in the files, there is no mention of such even in a negative sense i.e. that they cannot be found or have been destroyed[…]
This brings us to another aspect that the case files show very distinctly, namely why German defendants often would confirm made up Allied propaganda claims. One reason usually cited is the systematic torture of German prisoners by the Allies, but another very powerful motivation is the hope that by playing along with the narrative and giving the powers that be what they want to get less bad treatment

I find it hilarious how men will admit shit about their own sex what would get a woman called an extreme hateful misandrist if we said the same thing.

I can't count how many times I've said male depression isn't real and that the worst psychological torment most males are capable of experiencing is lack of pussy. Somehow this guy is allowed to say it but I'm not.

Anon #dunning-kruger #fundie lolcow.farm

Male loneliness is not a fascinating subject, the only fascinating phenomenon is how a supposedly hyper intelligent animal is unable to recognize how self centered and entitled it is.
Male loneliness can be boiled down to two points:
>”women didn’t immediately invest in me and my penis the moment I realized I wanted them to”
>”men I don’t care about enough to help don’t care enough to help me.”
It’s just someone with main character syndrome dealing with the frustration when living in a world that does not seem to agree that he is the main character.

President Donald Trump said he's ordered the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the U.S. commissioner of Labor Statistics, accusing her without evidence of manipulating figures for "political purposes" after the Labor Department reported the U.S. added a disappointing 73,000 jobs in July.
Trump on Aug. 1 announced the move in a post on his social media app Truth Social, writing that he was "just informed that our Country’s 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer."
"We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified," Trump said. "Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes."

Myself, I never trust a male activist or a man who purports to support a cause or who says he is truly interested in the helping professions. There are always ulterior motives. (...)

Helping professions. Young men study psychology, not because they want to help people with mental illness or understand why they themselves are so fucking fucked up. They do it to understand how to manipulate women and to get laid – the majority of undergrad psych classes are comprised of females.(...)

Teachers? According to Germaine Greer, women teach and men train. And I’d add that men also form the bulk of sexual predators on little kids, teens, college kids and grad students. (...)

Activists. Men don’t give a shit about anything other than their dicks. It doesn’t matter whether they are fighting religion, capitalism, environmental abuse, animal rights abuse, racism, or my favourite – misogyny – they don’t connect with the issue in the way that women do, and they don’t join the fight for the same reasons women do. In men’s eyes, there is street cred to be obtained for fighting something. It provides opportunities for mansplaining. It gives them access to and control over real activists: women. And they can slip in their own agenda (male dominance) under the cover of whatever activism they are pretending to support. (...)

So, my personal philosophy is to be skeptical of all men who say they care deeply about something or who want to help the world. Nothing is EVER one-way giving for men. There is always a price they demand. You just may not see it or pay it at first. And you may be tricked into paying it simply because you’re a woman who wants to reward good works or reinforce rare male pro-social behaviour, or because you’ve been trained from birth to see everything Dick does in a positive light even if he hasn’t done a damn thing other than tell you he is a good person.

Storyendingnever #conspiracy #sexist #dunning-kruger storyendingnever.com

And as I’ve explored the therapy professions (social work, clinical psychology, clinical psychiatry, etc), I keep coming back to the same question or set of questions.

What draws men to this line of work? And more specifically, what draws men to therapy for female victims of sex crimes (rape, sexual assault, incest)? 

(...)

It boggles the mind. Men have little capacity for empathy, and I have never met a man who can wrap his head around the fear women live with daily as a result of forced proximity to men. So to deliberately be around and ‘help’ female victims isn’t a problem in their minds. The last thing women need after victimization by a man, however, is to be made even more exposed and vulnerable with a man controlling her aftermath. Male therapists must be looking for control or a vicarious experience or something. Perhaps they are invested in putting forth a male agenda in ‘managing’ female victims. Does he want to show that ‘not all men are bad’? How completely selfish and self-centred, if that is the case.

(...)

So, I suspect that sex offenders help sex offenders, and any man who gravitates towards therapy for female victims or male offenders is just there to perpetuate the system of abuse, keep the male agenda alive and well, ‘help’ women to put their experience in a compartment and not paint all men or the patriarchy as bad, and experience personal control and vicarious excitement over female victimization. I advocate for keeping men out of all professions where they have access to vulnerable women and girls.

I'd first suggest to ditch the current therapist. As soon as these types start talking about non-binary and gender dysphoria issues, you know they are full of shit, aren't that intelligent themselves, and absolutely should have their credentials stripped from them ASAP. Seriously abusive, anti-science nonsense.

--

There are a lot of people who are really looking for a label. Feeling fucked up, having been told you are fucked up all your life, and then having someone in a position of authority tell you exactly how you are fucked up, complete with a shiny label can be a great relief to many people. Very validating. Even if the diagnosis is wrong. Even if you have been gaslit into seeing the problem being you instead of say, an abusive parent or partner. I guess I kind of get how that could be a relief, if I look at it from a physical disease point of view. If you feel physically unwell for a long time and then finally you find a doctor who can diagnose you, most people will feel relieved and feel like they have some control (even if it isn't a lot or if the diagnosis is wrong). They can focus on the diagnosis, look for information, and try to fix it. Most people just don't deal with uncertainty of lack of control very well. I don't know if I would recommend most people go to therapy. It is expensive, and I've known a lot of clinical folks in my professional life and many of them have as many issues as the people they are trying to help. And the potential for abuse is HUGE!!! I don't believe men belong in the helping professions, but there are a lot of destructive women who gravitate there too. Having said that, I wouldn't write the whole profession off. It is probably more effective if the person going into it has some really clear goals, and does their research into therapy orientations. I think a lot of women really just need to been seen and heard, and I also think that removing men from their lives would do wonders for both their mental and physical health ;)
