Morning, apologies for no edition yesterday. As I explained in the WhatsApp group the paid guys are in, I write this in the morning at about 06:00, the second thing I do after feeding the dogs. It’s that slack time before my working day starts, if something gets in the way of that then it’s a struggle to get it done. Yesterday I woke up to a power cut and thunder storm, so it all went to shit. The chat kept themselves busy yesterday anyway talking about that yacht that sank, they’re still going this morning 😂.
Anyway, let’s see what’s on the feed today.
I’m not sure this will be much of a surprise to anyone. It doesn’t seem to matter what artificial levers are pulled and incentives are provided, men and women have differing interests, whether aptitude comes into it or not. The best state of affairs is that everything (bar perhaps a few very specific professions) is open to all, with the barrier to entry being competency, the chips will then fall where they may. Some professions will end up skewed in one direction. On paper they’d make excellent cannon fodder for the diversity grifters we’re all so used to being given screen time now, but the answer to that should be a simple, so? Why do you care? But of course we know why they care. Merit is the enemy of the mediocre and if the core of your ideology is envy, you seek to bring everyone down to your level and the functioning of society with it, rather than accepting reality and allowing people to live to the limit of their potential.
This policy will be what starts Starmer’s world unravelling, he’s already looking like he’s bitten off more than he’s capable of.
