About That “Analytical Thinking”

A lot of people are going to be in for a very unpleasant surprise once the Narrative finally accepts that the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection and various other epicycles is a complete and utter nonstarter:

According to thinktank Pew Research Center data from 2020, only 64% of Americans accept that “humans and other living things have evolved over time.” Meanwhile, 73% of Brits are fine with the idea that they share a common ancestor with chimpanzees. That nine-percentage-point gap might not sound like much, but it represents millions of people who think Charles Darwin was peddling fake news.

From 1985 to 2010, Americans were in what researchers call a statistical dead heat between acceptance and rejection of evolution — which is academic speak for people couldn’t decide if we were descended from apes or Adam and Eve..

Here’s where things get psychologically fascinating. Research into misinformation and cognitive biases suggests that fundamentalism operates on a principle known as motivated reasoning. This means selectively interpreting evidence to reach predetermined conclusions. And a 2018 review of social and computer science research also found that fake news seems to spread because it confirms what people already want to believe.

Evolution denial may work the same way. Religious fundamentalism is what researchers call “the strongest predictor” for rejection of evolution. A 2019 study of 900 participants found that belief in fake news headlines was associated with delusionality, dogmatism, religious fundamentalism and reduced analytic thinking.

High personal religiosity, as seen in the U.S., reinforced by communities of like-minded believers, can create resistance to evolutionary science. This pattern is pronounced among Southern Baptists — the largest Protestant denomination in the US — where 61% believe the Bible is the literal word of God, compared to 31% of Americans overall. The persistence of this conflict is fueled by organized creationist movements that reinforce religious skepticism.

Brain imaging studies show that people with fundamentalist beliefs seem to have reduced activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — the brain region responsible for cognitive flexibility and analytical thinking. When this area is damaged or less active, people become more prone to accepting claims without sufficient evidence and show increased resistance to changing their beliefs when presented with contradictory information. Studies of brain-injured patients show damage to prefrontal networks that normally help us question information may lead to increased fundamentalist beliefs and reduced skepticism.

This is the midwit’s customary pseudo-scientific attempt to appeal to the nonexistent authority of SCIENCE, or rather, scientistry. Of course, as I demonstrated in copious detail on last night’s Darkstream, with the assistance of ChatGPI, there is absolutely no way evolutionary biologists can argue that all of the evolutionary mechanisms they can invent can even begin to account for human genetic diversity due to the material constraints on human reproduction that their models do not even begin to take into account.

The logistics of human reproduction and descent limit how fast any allele can spread, no matter how advantageous. Selection might determine whether a mutation survives, but demographics determine whether it fixates—and your point is that Genghis Khan sets the upper bound, which is still far below what fixation would require. Fixation in humans in <40 generations is, barring some extreme and hypothetical bottleneck, essentially impossible.

No wonder the scientists are all so terrified of artificial intelligence. It is methodically eliminating their ability to snow the masses and demolishing their most cherished false narratives.

Confessions of a Clown 2

Over 140 viewers tuned into last night’s political reaction stream. And tonight we’ll wrap up part two of the UATV-exclusive commentary on the Global Realist Faction’s Jeffrey Sachs explanation of why the Neo-Liberal Rules-Based World Order has failed and who was really responsible for the war in Ukraine. If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do so and join us tonight at 7 PM Eastern!

And we’ll also debut a new technometal mix of FOUR MORE YEARS.

Trumpslide 2024

I’m turning in and calling it. Trump’s overperformance, particularly in Florida, combined with Harris’s underperformance in Democratic strongholds such as Rhode Island and Virginia, suggests that Trump will win all four swing states, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (in order of likelihood) and thereby surpass 270.

In fact, I said it was pretty obvious that Trump had won around 9 PM Eastern on the epic UATV Darkstream, which featured more than 700 concurrent viewers, after Trump unexpectedly won Miami-Dade County.

If I’m wrong again, as I was after the 3 AM shutdown and steal in 2020, so be it. But that’s how it looks to me at the moment.

UPDATE: It appears I was correct. Trump has already been called the winner in three of the four states mentioned, and has a 93,000-vote lead in Michigan as well as 102,000 more votes in Oakland and Wayne counties, the two Michigan counties where the Democratic votes are historically “found” late, than in 2020. With at least 286 electoral votes, Trump has already been called the winner by the media.

Let us hope that this time, we will actually see President Trump wage the war against the Deep State that we were promised by him.

UPDATE: The foreign media has now conceded too.

Rogan Endorses Trump

A little on the late side – way to commit there, Joe – but still interesting as it’s indicative of how a surprising number of people on the soft Left are now publicly associating themselves with what has been regarded for decades as the Dark Side by everyone in the entertainment industry.

Podcaster Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump following an interview with one of the former US president’s most influential supporters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The endorsement came on the eve of the November 5 election, pitting Trump against the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

My expectation is for a third straight Trumpslide, only this one will not be stolen with fabricated votes. Jim Cramer, on the other hand, sees the Wall Street tea leaves predicting a Harris win. Either way, if you’re a UATV subscriber, join us for an election night hangout on the Darkstream at 7 PM Eastern.

Election Night Stream

Just a head’s up for tomorrow. While I am streaming tonight, tomorrow night will be a UATV-exclusive hang where we’ll discuss the early results coming in. We’ll get started around 7 PM Eastern and roll for at least two hours, perhaps more depending upon what’s going on and how much caffeine is flowing through my veins. If you haven’t subscribed to the Darkstream yet, or at least to UATV in some capacity, this would be your reminder to do so.

Go ahead and prepare some election-related questions and put them on SG so we’ll have something to discuss in case it’s a snoozefest with no results reported.

An Answer to a Stupid Question

From a recent Darkstream, a response to a man wondering how to go about approaching a woman in whom he is interested.

How should I approach a desk girl at the gym?

Directly. Don’t try to be particularly smooth or anything. What I would do is just ask her if she has a boyfriend. That’s the first thing. If she says yes, then she actually has one or she is not interested in you. Either way, no problem. And if she says no, then ask “would you like to go out to dinner on Friday?” It’s really not that hard.

All the stuff about how girls are different today, it’s so much harder, we can’t do that. You know, the same sort of guys were all saying that 30 years ago too. “It’s so different, it’s so hard.” It’s not hard. And it’s not difficult. Men have been dealing with the same issue since forever, and all it is is fear of rejection. All the ideas about how “oh, this can’t be done, or that can’t be done, or it’s not like that now.” That’s all nonsense.

Yes, there are some differences in terms of how texting has its own rules and so forth. But it’s still the same thing. And all of the little tactical stuff is like two percent of it. All the cute lines and the various things – I mean, the thing that’s so stupid about it is that if a girl is attracted to you, she’s not going to care what you say! The point is that you indicated interest. So you did your part. That’s the male part. That’s the male role: indicate interest. And then the girl decides (snaps fingers) very, very quickly, whether she’s interested or not.

All you’re trying to do with all the different tactics and all the different this, that, and the other thing is attempting to convert a “maybe” into a “yes”. But frankly, the more that you work at it, and the more that you think about it and obsess about it, the more likely you are to convert a “yes” into a “no”.

F says “I tend to overthink really.” No kidding. Every low-status male overthinks. If you tend to overthink, then you are low-status, or average at best. As a former high-status male, I can tell you right now that I spent zero time thinking about that sort of thing. The high-status male has no fear of rejection. He goes, hmm, there are seven pretty girls here. Those are the three that I like best. Of those three, that one looks like a handful. That one looks like she’s probably out of my league. Number three, she’s the one to talk to. Then he goes up to her and says, “hey what’s up?” That’s literally all it takes to get the ball rolling.

He Can Shoot Any Booster

If you watched the Darkstream, then you know what this is all about. By request:

You know that any vaxx is capable of boosting
Scotty got it right and he’s capable of proving
He can be what he wants to be
Shoot a one shoot a two then he boosts a three
Whatever kind, he’ll max the vaxx
And if he gets it wrong he walks it back
Amphiboly proves he could never be a loser
That’s why he can shoot any booster

The journey sans ticket

A number of people have commented upon something I said in a recent Darkstream concerning what I perceive as the intrinsic advantage of understanding and accepting that you have no chance at being allowed the opportunities that are routinely offered to those who are less talented and less intelligent, but more morally flexible than you. Whether you find this comforting or depressing is entirely up to you.

YOU HAVE NO CHANCE

If you are a good person, if you are a moral person, if you are a Christian, you are not going to be allowed to succeed in the system past a certain level. It’s just not going to happen. But it’s very, very freeing to know this. You’re not going to get the scholarship. You’re probably not going to get the acceptance letter. You’re not going to get the interview. So, this means you have the imperative to go out and make things happen on your own. 

Because here’s the magical thing about it. They can’t create. They cannot create things that are good, beautiful and true. They’re predators and parasites. And so, there’s always going to be a certain amount of room that is granted to people that just do their own thing, or for people who just work outside the system, because that’s where the positive change – the necessary positive change – is going to happen.

What we’re dealing with here is a society that is run by the wicked and is run by the hedonists…and so, you can save a lot of time. The beauty of this is that by knowing that you have no chance to succeed within the system, you can give yourself the opportunity to succeed without it. And the fact that you are never going to be given that handout, the fact that you’re never going to be given that fake, easy, pseudo-success, means the success that you achieve will be real. You’ll never have that impostor syndrome that they’re always talking about.

And so, you have no chance to succeed in the realm of the wicked, but that knowledge frees you to pursue genuine, meaningful and lasting success by pursuing the good, the beautiful and the true.
