"Currently we're dominated by the college-educated bureaucrat, a class that has become lazy and dumb" Mostly because we were simultaneously pursuing a vast expansion of certifications, through institutions that were politically captured by counterproductive ideas of how to integrate minorities (which, if done well instead, is a good idea) and women (which future generations, capable of sustainable birthrates, may not see as such a good idea). We're currently in the middle of the best entrepreneur of this generation, Elon Musk, cleaning out the bureaucracy. If he's as successful getting the useless activists out of USG as he was getting them out of Twitter / X, I think we'll be in better shape.

@AuthorDamonAlan The entire "mental illness epidemic" is purely a function of lack of mothers in the home. Kids need one-on-one attention -- eye contact, with someone who loves them -- to avoid developing autistic traits. Same with excessive anxiety. Moms who take their kids to the park to play in the grass / sand / dirt, also keep their kids from developing allergies. Moms who show their kids that they are loved, and show their kids that their fathers are loved and respected, are the best defense against boys getting obsessed with the likes of Andrew Tate.

It's only "bad" by the lights of this culture, which can't sustain its birthrate. This culture's values will be irrelevant, within a couple of decades. When women are expected to stay at home to raise their kids until at least age 5, and only to work part-time outside the home after, (and the variety of gainful employment available without leaving the house will climb back up to pre-cotton-mill levels) it's not going to be seen as oppression at all. Just like we're judging the past by our own value set, ("women were oppressed then" rather than "women were giving their all to try to keep babies alive, and keep people from collapsing mentally because half of babies died anyway") the future is going to judge women-at-home from its own value set. 2125 is going to look far more like 1925 than 2025 -- and not the ridiculous "flapper" minority either, who will be just as critiqued in 2125 as they were in 1925.

"We don't demand tribute from our neighbors or randomly annex them" Who's here after Trump's comments about "Canada the 51st state", "We should buy Greenland", and we're in the middle of the Great Tariff Uncertainty?

"It would be hard to oppress g*y people who are well-liked today" Er, how much of that is simply suppression of criticism under Wokism? I suspect that once word gets out about how handsy g*y men tend to be when in positions of power (like tech investors), but especially power over children -- teachers, doctors, etc -- we're going to see the backlash against the entire rainbow agenda, not simply the most extreme.

"Sadly, a world where women are more oppressed, wage growth would improve markedly" I'm not sure giving women the option to be at home with their kids to age 5 counts as "more oppressed", especially when you think about how that would basically end the mental illness epidemic.
