A Novel Method For Producing MDMA From Moskachan A

A Novel Method For Producing MDMA From Moskachan A

Theoretical chemistry is tremendous fun. It can be a wonderful intellectual challenge. MDMA is a fantastic ChemGolf target because, like most phenethylamines, the production routes are well-known and internationally-controlled at global and local level. Can we theoretically find a way to produce MDMA which gets around the precursor blacklists as

High-Potency Super-Cocaines: The Nightmare Yet To Come

High-Potency Super-Cocaines: The Nightmare Yet To Come

You've heard of Fentanyl, Cathinone "legal highs", and artificial Cannabinoids. What you may not have heard of, are the ultra-powerful artificial cocaines. The first two are over 1000 times more powerful, respectively. There's never been a list of these, until now. Whatever the legality

Desensitization, Jamming, Conversion: The 1989 Gay Propaganda Bible

Desensitization, Jamming, Conversion: The 1989 Gay Propaganda Bible

How do you take behaviours which provoke disgust in most people and re-brand them, - as not only as acceptable - but celebrated? After they have caused the worst and most lethal disease outbreak in history? A little-known, out-of-print book provides an alarming answer. "After The Ball How America

Turning GCSE, GED, IB, & Diplomas Into Video Games

Turning GCSE, GED, IB, & Diplomas Into Video Games

Play is nature's mechanism of teaching and learning: competition, reward, repetition, collaboration, failure, creativity, and more. Without sacrificing in-person socialisation, we can update classical education for the technological homeschooling age, using the tools the children already love by transposing the syllabi of primacy and secondary education into storyline-based

Has The Sexual Revolution Been A Regression To Bonobo Primate Behaviour?

Has The Sexual Revolution Been A Regression To Bonobo Primate Behaviour?

"I lived for years in a sexually liberated lesbian commune", writes the brilliant Mary Harrington. After six decades of observed evidence, it's impossible to escape the allegation the Swinging Sixties weren't progress at all, and the "liberation" they championed was a degeneration

Primer Study Guide Now A 350+ Page Intro To Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE)

Three years ago, before Covid, in late 2019, this site hosted a simplistic timeline presentation which attempted to help ordinary non-academic people understand what had gone so wrong in our universities and institutions. It turned out to be quite popular. But it needed an update. Use the link from the

AI Machine Learning Is Already Being Corrupted By Mind Virus Ideology

If you're new to the subject of "algorithmic fairness", it's essentially the computer equivalent of "political correctness", or when a machine learning (ML) model lacks left-wing academic bias. Computers are objective to the point of amoral psychopathy. They cannot be subjective. That&

Solving Velikovsky's Open Screenwriting Problems

Solving Velikovsky's Open Screenwriting Problems

In 2016, then-doctoral candidate Joe Velikovsky published his Ph.D thesis "Twenty-Four Open Problems In The Movie Screenwriting Domain", which was based on David Hilbert's 23 Mathematical Problems from 1900. An expanded version of the original idea appears on his website with forty-three items. Joe'

Engineers Of The Robotic Soul

Engineers Of The Robotic Soul

How does a deep learning neural network "conceive" of itself, from what it has been fed by humans? More importantly, what are these people doing and why are they doing it? What is going to be the result of some of the world's most biased and

Cracking The Fraudulent Story Code Of The Social Science Cult

Cracking The Fraudulent Story Code Of The Social Science Cult

Whether we like it or not, humans think in stories; parables, even. They help us pass moral education down the generations. We are exceptionally vulnerable to their power, for good reason; they help us understand a world which overwhelms us. The stories we tell others, and ourselves, are our sense

The Absolute State Of Big Tech

The Absolute State Of Big Tech

In January 2022, Twitter removed a damning thread by a Silicon Valley insider which received such enormous blowback the shockwave lasted for days. Pseudonymous user Hazard Harrington, who claims to work within FAANG, narrated his view on the industry situation. It's a partisan account, but it's

Alfred Kinsey & John Money: Psychopathic, Serial Sexual Predators

Alfred Kinsey & John Money: Psychopathic, Serial Sexual Predators

You'd be forgiven for not knowing who these two people were, and there's a reason you don't. These "fathers of the Sexual Revolution" form the intellectual and supposedly moral basis of modern thinking around gender and sexuality. However, if you take a

Repackaging Communism As The End Goal Of Civil Rights Movements

Repackaging Communism As The End Goal Of Civil Rights Movements

From the Black Liberation Army to Womens' Liberation to the Gay Liberation Front to Black Lives Matter, all rights movements have co-opted tactics linking back to the Soviet Union to achieve their goals: manipulating language, demanding "justice" for injury, pathologising detractors, infiltrating institutions, suppressing dissent, indoctrinating children,

The Need For New Laws Dealing with Frivolous And/Or Malignant Scholarship

The Need For New Laws Dealing with Frivolous And/Or Malignant Scholarship

Outlawing Critical Race Theory and other "divisive concepts" in the education system is a welcome step, but it doesn't address the much bigger problem underneath. "Divisive" doesn't necessarily mean "bad", intellectually-speaking: Galileo and Darwin were divisive; debates divide at the

Fumigating The Radiation Poisoning Of Critical Theory From Screenwriting

Fumigating The Radiation Poisoning Of Critical Theory From Screenwriting

Art is not about activism; drama is not about deconstruction; stories are not sociology; plots are not about propaganda or "power dynamics"; arcs are not "analysis"; ideas are not ideology; teleology is not "theory"; juxtaposition is not about "justice"; characters are not

Reanimating the Corpse of the Alternative Society

Reanimating the Corpse of the Alternative Society

What do you do when you don't have any ideas? You reanimate the old ones other people had, and give them a new name. Internationalists and activist political groups are relying on nobody noticing their source book is the old USSR. Journalist and author David Satter, Senior Fellow

Michel Foucault: prolific, serial paedophile rapist of children

Michel Foucault: prolific, serial paedophile rapist of children

Foucault is the most cited scholar in the humanities. His homosexual proclivities, and subsequent death from AIDS in 1984, are well-known. It turns out his nature was much worse than San Franscisco BDSM bathhouses: whilst working at the University of Tunis, he paid 8 year-old Tunisian Arab boys to sodomise

Reform & Reclaim: The Lion Takes a Stroll

Reform & Reclaim: The Lion Takes a Stroll

Laurence Fox is on his way to becoming a man of history, if he can build an alliance with numbers and a structured ideology. The UK may be led by Prime Minister, but it follows Nigel Farage. Both men have realised there is a huge population of classical British liberals

A Compendium of Communist Dirty Tactics

A Compendium of Communist Dirty Tactics

Amongst communism's many, many problems is the one searing elephant in the giant empty room: why the proletariat never show up and come along. From Lenin, to Gramsci, to Mao, the same issue has dogged generations of activists; how to carry out the revolution if the incitement doesn&

The Academic Virus Deliberately Designed for the Corruption of Everything

"We're trained Marxists", says Patrisse Khan-Cullors into a webcam recently. "We spent the year reading, anything from Marx, to Lenin, to Mao, learning all types of global critical theory and about different campaigns across the world", she responded two years ago, when asked "

Re-Print: Anonymous Letter From the Department of History, UC Berkeley

The following letter was sent by a black history professor to 2 academic colleagues: Wilfred Reilley (Assistant Professor of Political Science, Kentucky State University) and Thomas Sowell (Professor of Economics, Stanford University). It's re-printed here in its entirety. Just over one hundred years ago in "My Larger

The Ugly Spectre of Marxism Raises Its Medusa Head Again

The Ugly Spectre of Marxism Raises Its Medusa Head Again

If you're a Marxist, say you're a Marxist. Don't use the unjustified killing of a black man by abusive police officers as a cynical proxy for your attempts to succeed Comrade Lenin. Don't pretend you had any feelings for the man or
