In direct opposition to the reason the top hits on google for “The Stupid Party” give for applying that label to the GOP, there really is an important question:
How can so many members of the cognitive elite – the smartest of the smart people – remain so utterly ignorant, after even a half century of the dangers of holding the consent of more than a supermajority of the people in such contempt on an issue that dilutes their last recourse before violence: votes?
I don’t buy that they are that stupid without substantial “help”.
Those who have never been brainwashed or addicted to a drug find it hard to understand their fellow men who are driven by such compulsions. In the same naive way we cannot understand a host bird’s being compelled to feed an absurdly oversized cuckoo, or worker ants wantonly murdering the only being in the whole world that is vital to their genetic success. But such subjective feelings are misleading, even where the relatively crude achievements of human pharmacology are concerned. With natural selection working on the problem, who would be so presumptions as to guess what feats of mind control might not be achieved? Do not expect to see animals always behaving in such a way as to maximize their own inclusive fitness. Losers in an arms race may behave in some very odd ways indeed. If they appear disoriented and unsure of their footing, this may be only the beginning.
Immigration imports a great diversity of “replicators”.
Denmark for one does a pretty detailed analysis of immigration by country of origin:
Ideally, however, there needs to be more attention to ensuring that immigration isn’t going to get gamed – while understanding that there are organizations that create materials about how to game:
In the case of Musk as congnitive elite, I suspect we’re dealing with two layers of mind control, the first and most obvious layer being a virulent subpopulation of “Jews” (e.g. the ADL) that do things things like this:
After the previously linked 2006 Haaretz article “Questions of Survival”, I set forth one of two hypotheses regarding this secondary layer of mind control – involving Maoist intelligence taking advantage of pervasive taboos against thinking objectively about “Jews” in JudeoChristian Western Civilization:
Neutralize Jews that act as restraints against virulence. Do things to make their lives difficult. These can be very inexpensive dirty tricks that are all but invisible as active measures. For instance, you have guys like Milton Friedman who were making strong arguments for a Georgist land value tax as an alternative to the 16th Amendment. He was even for immediate imposition of strong border control. Those measures, if taken up would quite plausibly saved Western Civilization and made Jews heroes to The Nation of Settlers. What happened to stop Friedman – Nobel Laureate clearly immune from “cancellation” – from mobilizing the famous Jewish psychological intensity for those imminently sane and moderate policies? Were there Jews within the Mises Institute/Reason Magazine that were trying to argue for similar kinds of things? What happened to them? And who were the Jews trying to reign in the neocons? Look for Maoist dirty tricks in the lives of those individuals.
The other hypothesis is more subtle and involves the gradient of human populations out of Africa that, in some sense, casts Zionists in the the mold of “Nazis” relative to what I’ve called “deeper cultures” closer to human origins. This is part of why I predicted something like the events of 9/11/2001: A “Reichstag fire” with probable backing by Zionists toward military mobilization in the middle east – as in fact appears to have taken place just as I predicted. These kinds of conscious conspiracies, whether Nazi, or Maoist or Zionist, have the obvious weakness of any conscious act: You have to think about it and talk about it since it doesn’t come naturally. However, the original sense of “conspiracy” was simply to “breath together” and it is this latter sense of “conspiracy” to which I refer in this second hypothesis.
Millionaire’s aren’t Billionaires but they are the likely beneficiaries of the capture of economic rents that in a rational world, would have gone to the men of the nation rather than everyone else. Hence the picture of a red head woman… what I call “corporate concubine”, and her “I had one kid… what do you expect?” offspring.
The mixture of “take the money and run” parasites and “shit I don’t know what else to do faced with this government” middle class folks (that’s all millionaires are anymore) coming to the US is, on balance, not a good deal despite the non-virulent nature of the latter.
It’s always like this during a pandemic:
Some aren’t carriers and are looking for a refuge and others are just the extended phenotypes of the virus “looking for a better life”.
It would be interesting to see these numbers also on a per capita basis. These absolute numbers offer only a partial picture. In addition, for the US, say, a net gain of 7500 means one thing if 8000 entered while 500 left; something else if 100,000 left and 107,500 entered. Of course, if you leave the US (especially avaricious-to-the max states like CA, you’re in a forever (“ill”-)legal fight. Another western (sic) refinement of “the process is the punishment” (in the form of taxpayer-funded cadres of state lawyers whose meaning in life is persecution of apostates). I remember well the story John Walker (may he rest in peace) told about CA’s refusing to recognize his non-residency (after he had definitively given up his residency (state and US) - all on fake/made up allegations. It was a glaring example of the corruption at work in our failed system of governance, even as it all collapses and sinks deeper into bankruptcy.
FLEEING FOR FLORIDA: Starbucks founder Howard Schultz announces he’s leaving his longtime home of Seattle and moving to Florida, as Washington state Democrats slam business owners with a brand-new income tax.
At which stage of denialism is the governoress of New York? I’m thinking she’s stuck between 2 and 3.
New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣

I didn’t know that anyone who owns the most modest real estate or small family business is a billionaire! Imagine that! This law requires it be liquidated on death of the owner to pay taxes. The end of inheritance in NY.
Elon’s post quotes a user’s claim that Grok identified a $1,441 TurboTax error, showcasing its utility in double-checking tax calculations during the 2026 U.S. filing season.
This endorsement builds on recent xAI updates enabling Grok to analyze financial documents, though tax experts warn AI lacks the nuanced judgment for complex returns and recommend professional verification.
Early user feedback includes success stories and queries on crypto taxes, indicating rising experimentation with AI for personal finance amid traditional software limitations.
Massachusetts is the home of Harvard Business School not to mention MIT. You would think that Harvard Business School would understand the difference between cash flow and cash. Likewise you would think that the Massachusetts institute of technology would understand the difference between a quantity and the time derivative of that quantity.
Moreover you would expect that the people in the Massachusetts state government would draw heavily upon these geniuses for personnel and advice.
The stupidity of confusing wealth with income is so absurd and so damaging and so persistent that one is hard pressed to avoid thinking perhaps aliens from outer space are broadcasting mind control signals to keep humanity bound on the planet.
It’s actually terrestrial ideological aliens permanently ensconced in DC whose arrogance is so great they simply adapt physical (and economic) laws to suit their policy ends. Need more money? Steal it from those who have it or create it out of thin air. Such is their godlike power that unintended consequences of their policies are banned. So they’re not seen wearing tinfoil headgear, MIT has fashioned almost invisible carbon nanotube, signal-blocking skullcaps for them. It was essential that these not look like kippahs, after all, lest they attract Iranian projectiles with cluster submunitions…
To be fair to the sadly ignorant and innumerate residents of the Commonwealth, the article also mentioned increased income tax. The overarching reality is that the politicians want more money and they’re not too particular about how they get it.
Decades ago, I recall that a California state legislator declared, “We know where the money is. Let’s go get it!” And they did.
