Spearman’s hypothesis: group differences are biggest on the most g-loaded tests. In prison populations, Woodley et al report, the pattern flips upside down. The Reversal of Spearman’s Hypothesis in Incarcerated Populations doi.org/10.65550/001c.140843 Free to read.

Obamacare was a giveaway for some lower income people who could qualify for Medicaid, but a disaster for the middle class. The people who said it was a Trojan horse for a single payer system may have been right - it may have been designed to make the system so expensive that everyone would want Medicare for all.

Who would win in a fight, Nathan Cofnas or 100 gorillas?

In 1996, a Chicago news anchor got a videotape in the mail that nobody was supposed to see. It had been filmed in secret inside a maximum security prison eight years earlier. The man on the tape was Richard Speck. In July 1966 he broke into a townhouse on Chicago's South Side and killed eight student nurses in one night. A ninth woman, Corazon Amurao, survived by hiding under a bunk bed and later pointed at him in court. The jury took about 45 minutes to convict him. He was sentenced to death. In 1972 that became life, and he spent the next two decades at Stateville. In the video below, you see what that life looked like. Speck is snorting what looks like cocaine with other inmates and counting a roll of hundred dollar bills. He's wearing women's underwear, and his body looks like he had been taking hormones. Someone off camera asks him if he killed those nurses. "Sure I did," he says. "It just wasn't their night." He calls himself God, and the devil. He says he wants to live forever. Then he laughs and says that if people only knew how much fun he was having in there, they would turn him loose. He had already been dead for five years when the tape came out. He died of a heart attack in 1991, the day before his 50th birthday, after doctors spent four hours trying to save him. Illinois lawmakers held hearings on how a tape like that could be made in a maximum security prison. The families of the nurses had sat through parole hearing after parole hearing, and now they watched him laugh about it. Is life in prison a punishment, if this is what it looks like on the inside?

Is it worth talking about riots? I was going to write a post about it, then it seemed too basic bitch, but I keep seeing these terrible takes. 1) Every country has some variable number of shitkickers. These are rabble-rousing underemployed room-temp IQ assholes who enjoy breaking things and hurting people. They are like this because they are a) stupid, and b) they have little investment in society. They are disproportionately brown but plenty of them are Euros. In principle they would prefer always to be breaking things and hurting people, except there is the problem of police and coordination. 2) As a single solitary shitkicker you cannot break stuff or hurt people: you'll get arrested. Ideally you and your fellow shitkickers would go outside right now and break stuff and hurt people all together, overwhelming the police, but coordinating is hard, so all of you just sit in your concrete suburban flats and get high watching daytime television and listening to audio cancer instead. 3) The unharnessed, ambient criminality of these shitkickers is a weapon that leftoids wield with plausible deniability. They know if they start enough of a fuss about any given thing, these tards will be out there throwing rocks at police (the white ones) setting cars on fire (a mixture) and looting (the brown ones) and all the rest of it, because that is what they want to be doing all the time anyway. 4) Antifa and various adjacent dirtbag leftoid activist types fill in the spectrum between the MoStlY PeAcEfUL leftoid uni student protestors and the sorry retarded asses of these guys. 5) Migroids are bad in this context because migroid populations have a much higher admixture of riotous shitkickers than exist in native populations. They increase the general social volatility and make it easier for the left to set off massive riots that cause millions or billions in damage and take months to quell.
