Looking for new posts…
I spent the better part of a decade pushing back against anti-white racism, and suffered immensely for it, both professionally and personally. People tried to get me fired for standing up for the Covington Catholic kids!
It was the right thing to do, and I would do it again.

Elon Musk's takeover of X was initially a gift for the Right, but the pool has been steadily filling up with pee.
The swimmers have grown accustomed. But the rest of us can smell it from a mile away.

correct take here - not sure if hubris or just stupidity but the right has decided to self-immolate

You are asking citizens who are born here, who have grown up here, for whom this is the only home they have ever known, to *not* exercise the rights accorded to them and internalize a sense of 2nd class status because their *parents* are immigrants.

And this is a much more stable future, much less likely to lead to total catastrophe, one we should be working towards.
Regulation, on the other hand, might force us into a more brittle future, a self-fulfilling prophesy.

A lot of AI futures can seem monolithic or theological: a single AGI, (mis)aligned with us. But ecology give us a better image: webs of agents big and small in mutualistic, parasitic and predatory relationships with each other and us, with all the emergent complexity that brings

@SarahTheHaider I like the idea of tax incentives for employers to hire women with employment gaps.
I’m a SAHM currently I spent a long time developing my career & lost my job with Covid then ended up with two MORE kids.
I hope to go back to work soon, but I’m pretty sure my ca

Lastly: The Right is partly right: fertility decline is about status.
But we are not the Amish, we have to work with the culture we have. And in this culture, you can't just bolt prestige onto parenthood. You have to make parenthood a path to actual advantage. https://t.co/zmiIr

My proposal: Instead of taking mothers away from their young kids, help them get back on the horse later.
For example:
- A "GI Bill for Mothers" — tie young childbirth to graduate education benefits.
- Tax incentives for companies that hire mothers with employment gaps. https:

Third: Biology isn't equitable and can't be "socialized" away.
Pregnancy can be debilitating. Breastfeeding is nearly impossible to maintain while working full time. Mothers are hardwired for infant care. Most mothers want more time with their kids than fathers do. https://t.co

But mothers who work are making a fundamentally rational calculation. Her ability to re-enter the workplace declines every year she's out. Divorce, death, disability of a spouse — these risks loom large.
It is reasonable for mothers to choose a barely-adequate solution over

Second: Childcare doesn't substitute for parents. What is needed is someone to do the job of a parent, the way a parent would, for most of the day.
Daycare is a totally insufficient "mom substitute", especially for babies. At best, it is a necessary evil. https://t.co/XTl4sY62Qq

I begin with the misconceptions, because they are partly to blame for the bad solutions.
First: Nearly everyone can "afford" kids. What you can't afford is the same lifestyle you could have had before--parents are poorer *in relation* to the childless. https://t.co/2PX5qlxvbP

I wrote about why I find most of the fertility discourse irritating: Daycare blows, tax credits do not make up for lifelong career harm, and "status" can't be separated from economic reality.
We need to make motherhood RATIONAL, not merely bearable. Some highlights 🔽 https://t.
