In spring 2017, a protest group announced plans to "shut down" Mac Donald's speech ... at a college campus in California. ... Claremont McKenna College president Hiram Chodosh said that "the effort to silence her voice effectively amplified it to a much larger audience." The college subsequently suspended seven students.

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Heather Mac Donald, great pleasure to speak with you.

Fabulous being here, Winston.

I've been reading you for years. As I was just telling you, you've been calling out the diversity delusion, writing very dangerous literature along the [laughter] way. [...] That's a compliment, by the way. You want literature to be dangerous.

The thing I want to talk to you about is another thing you've been talking about for a long time. Not just the top diversity delusion, but the feminization of society. Something you've called out for a long time....

[...] Now, we had in 2016 a very emblematic and prophetic instance of a poor computer scientist working for Google who wrote a 10-page letter that he circulated to the Google workforce. Pushing back against the assumption that was universal, not just at Google but also across Silicon Valley, that the lack of a 50/50 representation in high-tech has got to be due to discrimination against competitively qualified female engineers.

So Google was going around, you know, doing its diversity initiatives and hiring on double standards, because that's the only [ideologically] allowable explanation. If there isn't proportional representation of any given allegedly oppressed groups, whether it's females or blacks or Hispanics, it's got to be due to discrimination because we can't acknowledge group differences.

This Google engineer wrote a memo that said, "Well, maybe females on average are interested in other types of fields. [...] They would rather be doing other things," and to his eternal perdition, mentioned the higher rate of females on the scale of neuroticism.

People freaked out. You're calling females neurotic. But neuroticism is one of those traits. It means risk aversion, a greater sense of vulnerability, a greater fragility. Something that for decades females have scored much higher than males on.

[...] Only 50% of young women hold a positive view of men. Fewer and fewer women having children. They're waiting later and later. The so-called feminization of society. Is this what you had thought might happen?

Females go around with this chip on their shoulder all the time. They value the alleged creation of community and allies and empathy far more than they do the pursuit of truth.

You'd have thought the feminists would be standing up against illegal immigration. Young women are still voting for the party like the Green Party that would increase that. That's the thing I don't quite get.

It's the masculization of females, because females are told to be like a male and have competitive spirit. A lot of females feel like they have to go around looking for reasons to feel offended and oppressed. Cardinal sin in Western societies now is alleged racism. It trumps everything else.

And it doesn't help that so-called centrist Democrats, are doing photo shoots with Saram Mamani. They seem to be winning actually on tickets that are pretty radical. Fortunately, younger people don't yet vote in the numbers that older people do, but if they start to, we're really screwed...

Why women vote for their own demise? ... https://youtu.be/hKf2UYUTruo

The ancient Scandinavians believed that a great serpent gnawed away at the roots of a tree uniting heaven and earth, the Yggdrasil. Mythology was ancient man's way of explaining the world. The cognitive practices of science had to disregard mythology in order to set up an independent existence, or so Jordan B. Peterson believes. They also believed that Skoll and Hati, two great wolves or "cosmic forces", chased the sun and moon and caused them to have an eclipse when caught.

Newton was convinced that "God had imparted the secrets of natural philosphy and true religion to a select few". 
The prima materia was seen as the chaos preceding creation. And it was the job of the alchemist to release Mercurius, the spirit, from matter. In doing so, matter would "transmute" into gold.
Alchemy is now dismissed as mere primitive science, specifically chemistry. But what if Newton's Alchemy possessed true secrets that could advance humankind? I would like to follow in Newton's footsteps and see what Alchemy could bring.

PREVIOUS EPISODE: Yes, there are songbirds in the cold & dark of Svalbard



CIAO, IT'S GIULIA
https://youtu.be/wVCv280yCa4

VIDEO INTRO: This is Barentsburg, a small Russian settlement located on the Svalbard archipelago deep in the Arctic Ocean halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Even though Svalbard belongs to Norway, the islands are governed under the Svalbard treaty of 1920 which allows citizen and companies from different countries to live and work here.

That's why Russia still maintains a permanent community in Barentsburg today. The town was originally built by the Soviet Union around coal mining and much of it still looks almost exactly like it did decades ago. Unlike many places after the collapse of USSR, Barrentsburg changed very slowly because of its isolation and small population.

That's why Soviet era buildings, monuments, and symbols are still part of everyday life here. Barentsburg is also home to the last active coal mine on Svalbard which is still one of the main reasons this settlement exists today.

I'm walking now in the streets of Barentsburg where time is just suspended, where the time has stopped and everything has been the same since an era that now doesn't even exist anymore. We are talking about the Soviet era. So all the buildings and the people -- nothing has changed since then. So this is the only place here in the Arctic where you can basically travel back in time.

So here behind me we have a hotel, of course, in a Soviet style like every other building here. It's really hard to imagine a life here in Barentsburg. There's only 300 people living here, mostly Russian, even though there's also a South African girl who decided to move here. For pleasure, because she loved this place and she loved the community and the people that she met here to the point that she decided to move here for a period of her life.

Of course, we have to remember that here in the Arctic, we have four months of polar night, dark season, where it's completely dark 24/7. And being here is completely disconnected from the reality of the larger world, is a really hard life, especially during those times...

PREVIOUS INSTALLMENT: Total surveillance inside the EU



SURVIVAL LILLY

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I want to tell you about the taxes in Europe. I would like to say that we have different taxes in different EU countries. So it's not the same everywhere...

[...] So that's really high in Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, the taxes are a little bit less. So it's not that bad, but still people in the east of Europe are earning less. Those taxes have a big impact on the lives of people.

So first of all, let's check the value-added tax (VAT) in Europe. Here in Austria, for example, we have a value-added tax on goods.

For example, this phone here or this camera or this car, the tax is 20%. Okay. So, if you want to purchase a camera for €1,000, including the value-added tax, it will cost you €1,200.

So, 20% is the value-added tax in Austria, but there are countries in the European Union where the value-added tax is even higher. The number one is Hungary, with 27%.

Now, let's check the other countries and their value-added tax. So, Finland has 25.5%. Croatia, Denmark, Sweden 25%. Estonia 24%, Ireland 23%, and Switzerland only has 8.1%.

[...] Also in Austria, the value-added tax on food is 10%. 10% if you purchase apples, milk, and flour for baking. Governments could easily take off pressure of the citizens by just exterminating the value-added tax for food.

Now let's check the income tax in Austria. The income tax is good for poor people but bad for middle-class people. [...] if you earn below 13,000 a year in 2025, then you will actually not have to pay any income tax.

The next step is from €13,000 to €21,000 and for this you will pay 20%. So, that's also okay. But then pretty quickly the income tax is rising progressively. So, between €21,000 and 35,000, you will have to pay 30%.

And then most people earn a little bit more. Between 35,000 and 70,000, you already pay 40% of your income. And this goes up to 55% if you earn more than 1 million...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: This is how our country is now perceived by many across the world. Warning about restrictions on free speech in this country, about significant worries, and of course our country clearly going down a pretty dark, divisive two-tier path where people are treated differently. I believe that is fundamentally wrong. And we've seen stories like the Hampshire police staff being forced to endure diversity training against their will. Westminster, I think, is completely out of touch...
