Part 3 of 8 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 4 here)
The following should only be used to supplement the Hare Checklist-Revised, the real way psychologists diagnose psychopaths. It draws heavily on excerpts from interviews with the serial killer Ed Kemper. Kemper is an unusually intelligent psychopath whose IQ was tested at 136 and 145. He seems to be more honest, too, so he makes a good case study. It also cites examples of psychopathic behaviors in the Tate brothers, Jared Fogle, and the rapper 50 Cent. (more…)

The good is one thing, and the sensuously pleasant, another. The wise choose the good. The foolish, being motivated by greed and avarice, choose the pleasant. — The Upanishads
Women are attracted to psychopaths — of the factor 1 kind, anyway. In one study, researchers showed women videos of men on a date. The more psychopathic the man was, the more women liked him, on average. The women also said the psychopathic men looked better in still photos, proving they perceived the men as having better looks.

Greg Johnson asked me to write a brief guide to help women spot psychopaths. He made this request after reading something I wrote on how murderer Brian Laundrie displayed several behaviors common among psychopaths. I can’t be brief on the subject, though, because psychopathy is associated with many behaviors and traits. (more…)

Elon Musk insinuates that investing in SpaceX is good because colonizing Mars can be a hedge against something destroying life on Earth. This seems like far-sighted wisdom, but Musk often frames things as a forgone conclusion to induce people to invest in his businesses. (more…)

Case Studies of Polygamous White Men
Although white men have probably been the most monogamous historically, not all exhibit the phenotype:
- Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly an airplane across the Atlantic Ocean, sired six children with his American wife, Anne Morrow, in addition to a combined five children to two women from Bavaria, as well as two with Valeska, an East Prussian aristocrat who was his private secretary in Europe.

Ancestral mating patterns reconstructed from DNA reveal that “the pair-bond is a ubiquitous feature most commonly observed in the form of serial monogamy.” In other words, having one spouse is the norm for humans.
An undercurrent of polygamy has coexisted with the monogamal norm, however. (more…)

“The [scariest] shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.” — Albert Allen Bartlett
To procreate, people need to be sociable enough to meet someone and decisive enough to choose them. Similarly, to make money they need to pick a career and shut out all other options. Such people excel in getting into power and then idiotically doing nothing as the world collapses around them. (more…)

The week of September 18-24 in the year 2022 is Banned Books Week in libraries across the United States. It’s something of an oxymoron, because the library will feature books that are “banned” — sort of doing the opposite of banning them by calling attention to them. A better name would be “Books Banned by Other People Week.”
A better way of celebrating Banned Books Week would be to feature books banned on Amazon, where we used to be able to browse Jared Taylor’s White Identity, Greg Johnson’s New Right versus Old Right, and Kevin MacDonald’s Culture of Critique. (more…)

Golden Age nostalgia
STRFKR, short for “Starfucker,” is a Portland-based indie/electronica band. Their lead singer is a cross-dresser, but during performances they have an astronaut crowd surf in an inflatable raft, which is pretty cool, so you have to take the good with the bad. (more…)
