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 video console

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 back to our primate beginnings. One of our

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's a difficult conundrum for activists who (wrongly) claim

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's work is extraordinary, in an

Magnus Hirschfeld: The Fraudulent Reinvention Of A Depraved German Butcher

It seems, in order to be lionized in the social sciences, one must be fixated on raping children, subverting one's culture to dissolution, or misrepresenting obscurantist pseudoscience as fact. The staggering effort to rehabilitate one of the most grotesque figures of the last century as a compassionate messianic visionary of

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 ideologically-possessed activists going to

Gender Theology: Body Thetans, Gnostic Priestesses, and Mengele Medicine

Sexual revolution, as Marcuse noted, always precedes political revolution, because sexuality is the fastest, surest way to derange people. As the basic instinct of life itself, its power is formidable, and its deracination underwrites social collapse. Disrupt it, and it has a catastrophic waterfall effect on almost everything else downstream.

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

In January 2022, Twitter removed a damning thread by a Silicon Valley insider which received such enormous blowback the shockwave lasted for days.

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 look at the men behind the ideas, what

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, and worse.

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 end to discover the result. For sixty years, academics have

Liberationism: The Counterfeit Gnostic Pagan Gospel of the Critical Social Justice Religion

Liberationism, n: A gnostic pagan Millenarian religion centred on the worship of the self, and its place in a hypothetical transhuman utopia achieved through collective abandonment of social conventions. The 60s and 80s were an orgy of self-congratulatory "liberation" back to primitive existence in the pursuit of escapist mysticism. Humans

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 low-resolution caricatures; nature is not about "narratives"; writing

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 at the

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

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't work. The
