Dr. YoungHoon Kim: How the World’s Highest IQ Confirms the Harmony Between Science and Christian Doctrine - By Scott Ventureyra

 .....For over a century, prodigies like William James Sidis, whose estimated IQ approached 300, captivated the public imagination but left the deepest questions of life, matter, and mind unanswered. Today, Dr. YoungHoon Kim, whose IQ is reportedly verified at 276 and who holds a bachelor’s degree in theology (perhaps proof that the most intelligent begin with first things), recorded a message three months ago that has since gone viral on  and other platforms, declaring: “Our consciousness continues beyond death, definitely.”

Kim has studied various subjects, including psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and theology. He has also received honorary doctorates in cognitive science, education, and psychology and held research positions at both Cambridge and Yale. This interdisciplinary approach has equipped him well to reflect deeply on the subjects of quantum information, consciousness, the afterlife, and God.

Unlike evolutionary biological models such as neo-Darwinism, which are often accompanied by the philosophical assumption held by many of their adherents (though not logically required by the theory itself) that consciousness ceases entirely once brain function stops, Dr. Kim appeals to quantum physics to argue that information never truly disappears but only changes form. He suggests that if consciousness is a kind of quantum information, it may persist beyond the death of the body, much like data stored in “the cloud.”.....

....This growing recognition of information’s primacy in biology has been a central focus of the Intelligent Design movement. Proponents of Intelligent Design, including William Dembski, Stephen Meyer, and Michael Behe, have increasingly highlighted the challenge that information theory presents to reductionist biology. This challenge has also been acknowledged by philosopher Thomas Nagel in Mind and Cosmos, where he argues that the materialist framework is fundamentally inadequate for explaining the origin of life and the emergence of consciousness.

More importantly, Kim’s public witness does not stop at quantum speculation. In a world that idolizes IQ tests and technocratic expertise, he openly confesses what so many refuse to say aloud: that Jesus Christ is divine. On , where his words reached millions, he declared, “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.” In our day and age, to witness the world’s highest IQ holder publicly and willingly bend the knee to Jesus, an itinerant carpenter from the first century, is a stunning feat that surpasses any viral claim about quantum information or the reality of the afterlife, especially given our culture’s mistaken association of high intelligence with skepticism and nonbelief......

.....At the end of his brief video message, Kim suggests that humanity will continue searching for the truth and evidence of the afterlife. I agree, but I would add that our search endures not simply out of mere curiosity or survival instinct but because we are made in the image and likeness of God. This divine imprint within us points beyond mere material existence. From the time we are born to the moment of death, we long to return home to our Source; as St. Augustine so profoundly expressed, our hearts are restless until they finally rest in Him.

As the late astronomer Robert Jastrow so perfectly summarized in his book God and the Astronomers, in light of Big Bang cosmology cracking open the door to God’s creative act, 

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

What Means ‘Winning’? By Alastair Crooke

 (Is Trump becoming President Looney Tunes? - CL)

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/07/no_author/what-means-winning/

What Means ‘Winning’? - LewRockwell The ‘long war’ to subvert Iran, weaken Russia, BRICS and China is on hold. It is not over. At one level, Iran plainly ‘won’. Trump had wanted to be regaled with a reality-TV style, splendid ‘Victory’. Sunday’s attack on the three nuclear sites indeed was loudly proclaimed by Trump and Hegseth as such – having ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme, they claimed. ‘Destroyed it completely’, they insist. Only … it didn’t: The strike caused superficial surface damage, perhaps. And seemingly was co-ordinated in advance with Iran via intermediaries to be a ‘once and done’ affair. This is a habitual Trump pattern … Continue reading → www.lewrockwell.com

 

And though Trump’s electorate seemingly is satisfied that America participated in the war minimally – and apparently is happy to reside cocooned in a miasma of exaggerated self-congratulation – there is significant evidence that the MAGA faction of the Trump coalition, simultaneously is reaching the conclusion that the U.S. president is increasingly becoming part of the Deep State system that he so ardently criticised.

There were two key issues in the last U.S. Presidential election: immigration and ‘no more forever wars’. Trump, today, despite highly confusing and contradictory messaging, is clear that a forever war is not off the table: “If Iran builds nuclear facilities again – then in that scenario – the U.S. will strike [again]”, Trump has warned.

That – and the increasingly bizarre posts that Trump pens – seem to have had the effect of radicalising the Populist base against Trump on this issue.

For the rest of the world, Trump’s recent postings are disturbing. Perhaps they work for some Americans, but not elsewhere. It means that Moscow, Beijing or Tehran find it harder to take such erratic messaging seriously. Equally troubling, however, is how divorced from geo-political reality, in a succession of cases, Team Trump has proved to be in their situation assessments. Amber lights are flashing in many capitals across the world.

Of Two Minds - The No-Win Bubble "Wealth Effect": Either Way We Lose

 Spoiler alert: this ends badly.

I have endeavored to explain how our economy has changed dramatically over the past 50 years beneath the surface. Nothing that’s going to happen in the future will make sense unless we understand this, so refill your beverage of choice and let’s go through what changed.

Wages gained ground 1945 – 1975, and lost ground 1975 – 2025. In the “glorious 30” (Trente Glorieuses) years of sustained global growth 1945 – 1975, wages’ share of the economy remained around 50% of the nation’s income. As the economy expanded, wages increased in step with the economy.

Since the mid-1970s, that trend has reversed. Wages have lost ground for the past 50 years. As the economy expanded, wages’ share declined, meaning the economy’s gains flowed to capital rather than wages. (Chart #1 below)

This wealth transfer was non-trivial: $150 trillion was siphoned from wages to owners of capital.......

....The net effect was to load younger generations with debt while funneling the majority of Federal spending to the older generations who also happen to own most of the assets. Since younger workers couldn't buy assets when they were cheap, few have gained from "the wealth effect."

By effectively impoverishing the nation's younger generations, we've chosen a demographic doom-loop as marriage and birth rates have collapsed from 2007. Guess what happens when you make starting a family and buying a house unaffordable to younger generations? They no longer start families and have children.

As the Boomer generation retires, the legacy of retirement programs designed in the 1930s (Social Security) and the 1960s (Medicare) is fiscal bankruptcy as these programs are driving the expansion of federal spending and borrowing.

It's called a Doom Loop, with no exit, for all speculative asst bubbles pop. Once "the wealth effect" reverses, assets get sold off to raise cash and since only the wealthy can afford to buy them, there's no buyers left, so valuations crash.

It didn't have to be this way, but our leadership chose poorly, and the consequences will fall on us. Let's go through the charts supporting this grim reality.....

Of Two Minds - The No-Win Bubble "Wealth Effect": Either Way We Lose The weblog, feature articles and books of Charles Hugh Smith www.oftwominds.com

 

Either way, we lose: if the Federal Reserve manages to keep the Everything Bubble inflated, we decimate the nation's younger generations, fatally destabilizing our society. If the bubble finally pops, all the phantom wealth that's been propping up consumption goes to Money Heaven, gone for good.

We will collectively bear the burdens of catastrophically short-sighted / self-serving policies of 2009-2025 for decades to come. Beneath the easily gamed statistical veneer, our economy and society have been hollowed out to the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.

These are real-world problems, not monetary problems. Unfortunately, playing around with "money" doesn't make all this go away: stablecoins, Universal Basic Income (UBI) and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) are all disconnected from the real world: what ultimately matters is resources extracted, productivity and efficiency, and how the gains and losses of these real world factors are distributed.

"Money" in all its manifestations is simply the unit/medium used to instantiate the distribution.

The Female Failure Cascade - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 Human behavior is not even remotely mysterious and once you recognize the patterns of behavior, it’s very easy to see the ways in which they play out, time and time and time again.

The female failure cascade is a fairly straightforward one.

1. Get bored living a safe and secure life with a husband.

2. Fall into an affair with a more exciting man.

3. Leave marriage for the more exciting man.

4. Discover that the more exciting man is not interested in living a safe and secure life as a husband.

It’s just so tedious seeing how so many women do the same thing and follow the failure cascade, all the while protesting that they never meant for any of it to happen even though an outside observer can predict the next steps in the process with almost perfect accuracy

https://sigmagame.substack.com/p/the-female-failure-cascade?publication_id=2265630&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=y7h5a&utm_medium=email 

1. “It’s not you, it’s me. I don’t know what it is, I’m just not happy.”

2. “I wasn’t looking to meet anyone, believe me. It just happened! And I’ve never felt like this before!”

3. “I don’t want to hurt anyone, but honestly, I don’t know if I ever really loved you. And you can’t expect me to give up what might be my one chance for true love!”

4. “You can’t leave me! Do you have any idea what I threw away for you!”

Keep this failure cascade in mind the next time you think your motivations and intentions are a mystery to others. The fact is that they’re usually quite transparent, and others often not only know what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it as well as what you’re going to do next

Shipbuilding is Naval Power - Vox Popoli - (But our Wall Street is DaBest $$$$$ can buy! - CL)

 The balance of naval power in the 21st century increasingly hinges on industrial capacity rather than technological superiority alone. Today’s comparison between Chinese and American shipbuilding capabilities reveals a strategic reality reminiscent of the industrial imbalances that defined naval warfare in World War II. China’s shipbuilding capacity is estimated to be 230 times greater than that of the United States, with Chinese shipyards having a manufacturing capacity of roughly 23.25 million tons compared to less than 100,000 tons for U.S. shipyards. This disparity represents one of the most significant shifts in global naval industrial power since the rise of American maritime dominance in the 20th century.

This analysis examines three critical dimensions: the current state of Chinese versus American shipbuilding capacity, the historical lessons from the U.S.-Japan naval competition during World War II, and the potential implications for modern naval warfare scenarios. The findings suggest that while technological advantages and operational expertise remain important, the sheer scale of China’s industrial capacity provides strategic advantages in any prolonged naval conflict, fundamentally altering the calculus of maritime deterrence and warfare......

Conclusion

The comparison between Chinese and American shipbuilding capacity reveals a strategic challenge unprecedented since World War II. China’s 230-fold advantage in shipbuilding capacity, combined with its military-civil fusion strategy, provides Beijing with strategic advantages reminiscent of those the United States enjoyed over Japan during the Pacific War, and indicates that any war between the two 21st century powers will almost certainly be won by China as conclusively as the USA won the 20th-century war in the Pacific.

The Explosion of Jewish Fatigue Syndrome - Donald Jeffries

 A few years ago, I came out of the closet and announced that I had African American Fatigue Syndrome. Nobody much noticed it at the time; a few people chuckled, and a few more shouted “racist!” Now Black Fatigue is all the rage. It’s encouraging that more people have finally stopped holding their tongues about a “forbidden” topic.

But a new malady is upon the land. Perhaps not a Biblical plague, but an intellectual impatience that can no longer grin and bear it. Something was triggered in the U.S. population when the Artist Formerly Known as Kanye West suddenly became the world’s foremost admirer of Adolf Hitler. Black podcasters like Jason Whitlock and the Hoge Twins became emboldened and started freely discussing the disproportionate power that Jews- who constitute only two percent of all Americans- wield in this country. Thanks to the histrionic Israeli partisan Ben Shapiro, who fired her from Daily Wire, Candace Owens has now become the daughter David Duke would have had, if he’d been on the down low with a soul sister. Many Blacks have long distrusted Jews; I know, I worked with hundreds of them as a young blue collar college dropout. And now all that historical mistrust is bubbling to the surface............

Trump Doesn’t Speak for Us, by Jared Taylor - The Unz Review

 Europeans need homelands.

I have spent 35 years saying the same thing about the United States. We need a homeland.

When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, I thought that in an offhand remark to reporters he might — just might — say, “What’s wrong with white people wanting to be the majority in the United States?”

I no longer think he has it in him. In this year’s inaugural address, he mentioned support from “African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans.” He went on to say, “To the Black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you.”

Mr. Trump got 80 percent of his 77 million votes from white people, but he didn’t mention us once.

I don’t think a guy who is 79 years old and still doesn’t understand race ever will.

There are more than 519,000 elected officials in the United States.

I don’t know of a single one who says what that Danish newspaper said about Danes: That we need a place where we are the majority. And yet, every year, millions more people come to understand what’s necessary for our survival.

Why do we have no political representation — not even on a city council or a school board?
