I wish we named people cooler shit than "under-secretary" in America.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

I confirmed Friday that there will no be new requests of Ph.D. admission by me for the foreseeable future for the same reason. Me and Pitt got together and decided this would be best.

I'm really tired of what "smart" liberals have to say because they get lots of clicks for saying shit that makes absolutely no sense to people looking at the problem correctly.

Also it would be funny if they're like "Alright all Lutherans off the Joint Chiefs, all Methodists gone, all Episcopalians gone, everyone who goes to a Spanish speaking church is gone" just get real granular with it and alienate as many people as possible.

One thing I have never been more certain of is that they're gonna kick Clarence Thomas off the Supreme Court and when that happens I'm gonna laugh myself sick.

Also just for my own sanity, when I say stuff like "I'm bad at 'being light'" or "I'm not easy to like" people love to be like "no that's not true" and I wanna be clear, I'm not saying that I think this, this is an observation of formal results. People don't react to me being light etc.

I get so much more charge out of writing philosophy than out of doing dumb D&D shit. The D&D stuff is like... I'm really bad at "being light" and this is content that I wish existed already, but I'm not passionate about it, it's really a last resort type of deal.

While I do respect John Rawls's work, I have never and will never like it because the goal of the project is so asinine and mealymouthed. You want to write a book describing how you're right to think how you already think? Great, I guess.

Alright I think that's enough High Octane Brain shit for today, I got through the Rawls stuff. Now let's see if I have enough in the tank to do this other somewhat dumber thing I wanted to write.

I need to find a better thesaurus than Merriam Webster online. I'm glad that it seems to not be AI but it's really fucking bad. It's probably the worst thesaurus I've ever used.

It mystifies me that anybody can find persuasive any presentation that describes Chinese politics with a backdrop of horror movie music. Saying the kind of shit you'd never say about America unless I said "you never say this about America" first.

I'm now going to post several excerpts from my latest* piece of political philosophy "A Non-Grand Theory of Luxury Politics", you can read the whole thing here, it should be ~15 minutes: journalofcogency.com/2025/02/19/a...

This is an absolutely fascinating line. It is peak liberal brain. Rawls is like "we have to make sure everything is neutral because obviously my idea will win and so we can't tarnish that by having bias"

My saving grace is that I don't really need to read this closely because I'm not discussing justice as such, I just feel like getting a better idea of how he uses the original position and he doesn't get to the point for three chapters

John Matthew* Rawls has some nerve complaining that a word too cumbersome, sir you're in the middle of writing A Theory of Justice. * I'm not looking up his middle name

Gotta make myself wade through at least three chapters of Rawls and like... why. Why did he write like this. I mean, I know why, but don't be so fucking neurotic. Please. This is so dense and it's not achieving anything.

I never played God of War cause they didn't come out on PC but I love that Kratos's kid is just the worst fucking kid of all time. I don't think I've ever seen a clip that made him seem cool or sympathetic. I love the idea that a writer went "What if he has a kid who sucks and is in the whole game"

I saw a clip of this chick in high shorts and a fashion top fucking up a skateboard move and I'm torn cause that's hot as hell but also you should be wearing like long sleeves and shit you're gonna get your arms and legs all scraped up

It just feels so crazy to have had shouting matches with these bullshit liberals about what should be done about the Post Office and then Trump waltzes in and is like "alright we're not gonna do this anymore" and it's just gonna happen.

I should make myself read Nozick's book because every time I see it referenced I'm like wow this is remarkably stupid but I did already try to read it and it is.

@smenor.com Hey, I'm starting to write a thesis/theory about luxury politics and subjugation, my hypothesis is about a 15 minute read and I'd appreciate it if you gave it a look: journalofcogency.com/2025/02/19/a...
