Share your thoughts

Now that UNAUTHORIZED.TV has been in operation for more than 24 hours, I would welcome your thoughts, opinions, feature requests, and bug reports, especially if you are a subscriber.

The latest Darkstream is now up, as are four more shorts by Owen Benjamin, in case you haven’t seen any of those.

Upon further review, we do have the ability to offer annual subscriptions, but not variable-price subscriptions or one-time donations yet. So, if you have any opinions on what low-end and high-end annual subscriptions should be for the time being, please feel free to opine on the subject as well. At present, these simply represent different levels of support for the channel, as all subscriptions provide access to the same premium content.

Some of my ideas that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet:

  • User-limited superchats. This would permit the streamer to define ahead of time how many superchats will be permitted during the session. It creates stress when one has to choose between extending a stream and not answering a question to a paying supporter.
  • Dual-streaming option for simultaneous streaming to YouTube.
  • Assignable memberships. This would permit me to grant Unauthorized access to Voxiversity subscribers without forcing them to pay a second time.
  • Subscribers-only download option.

Thanks to all of you for such an unexpectedly successful launch! If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can do so here.


Unauthorized science

We of the Unauthorized Right can take some satisfaction that science is now Unauthorized too:

There is a new article in the New York Times Magazine (Is Ancient DNA Research Revealing New Truths — or Falling Into Old Traps?) , in which some  pinhead repeats  complaints about David Reich crushing his enemies [archaeologists] , driving them before him, and hearing the lamentations of their women.  He doesn’t give them much respect.

They don’t deserve respect. Sure, he has a far more powerful method.  Sequencing DNA gives you billions of bits, orders of magnitude more than staring at potsherds. But it is fair to look at how archaeologists did with the tools they had:  terrible, horrible, no good, very bad.  They really, really wanted to  create detailed stories of local social change, stories that didn’t sound like something by Robert E, Howard, full of thud and blunder. Not stories about barbarian conquest, population replacement, and mating with nonhuman races.

But that’s what happened.

The origin of the Polynesian population out in the Pacific is a classic example.  Even before ancient DNA was sequenced, we knew that ~94{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} of Tongan mtDNA was from Taiwan, ~75{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} of their autosomal DNA was also from Taiwan, while their Y-chromosomes were 65{a4715188bcef061351849819e070f3d0e5c7c3fa185fc1ba3dd549b38dedc378} Melanesian. “Until recently, the dominant model was the slow-boat hypothesis, in which the Taiwanese-derived Lapita culture mixed with Melanesians in New Guinea and the Solomons before sailing out into the deep Pacific. The funny numbers for mtDNA and Y-chromosome were explain by some hand-waving matrifocal cultural bullshit. ”

Ridiculous.  Taiwanese were the original settlers, while Melanesians invaded later, conquered, and killed off most of the local men. Confirmed by ancient DNA.

Science vs the SJW Narrative. The Unauthorized Right vs the Authorized Opposition, the Mainstream, and the Converged Left. Truth vs Falsehood. Aristotle vs Plato. Good vs Evil. Jesus Christ vs the prince of this world.

Different battles, same war.
