Marriage follows the same pattern. Women now substantially outnumber men on university campuses and outpace them in degrees earned, yet the preference for husbands who match or exceed a wifeโ€™s income and education has not correspondingly relaxed. The result is a radical market mismatch.

...these โ€œsynthetic husbandsโ€ have incomes 58 percent higher than the real unmarried men available; they are 30 percent more likely to be employed and 19 percent more likely to hold a college degree.

The men whom women are prepared to marry bear little resemblance to their struggling real-world counterparts. The few who shape up to the fantasy are snapped up quickly.

"Throughout antiquity, education was oral. Times were changing, however, as the old order passed away, as imperial authority in the West collapsed, and as Europe fragmented into successor kingdoms. Strained economies meant less public education, and fewer aristocrats with the resources to hire private teachers. โ€œFollowing the collapse of the taxation system that had formerly paid for the Roman civil administration, and the consequent loss or radical downsizing of the bureaucratic cadres, there was no longer any call for the services of the grammarians and rhetoricians who had drilled Roman schoolboys in the skills that made them eligible for a civil careerโ€. A student might not have a local teacher available to answer questions and explain difficult texts. Cassiodorus took up the call to be the โ€œAntiquarius Domini,โ€ the โ€œBook-Producer of the Lordโ€, creating the self-study guides for the coming generations of do-it-yourself scholars."

TIL that in the 1700s, society heavily stigmatized paying actors, dancers, and opera singers for their work. In his classic, The Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith explained that selling these talents was viewed as a "sort of public prostitution"

Now is a good time to recommend this book. It shows how Fauci is responsible for the death of untold numbers of folks in the 80s AIDS epidemic. (As in the movie, Dallas Buyers Club). The man has experimented (and killed) orphans and African folks too. What an evil man.

๐ŸŒ The Seven Pillars: What Happens to the World If Russia Disappears Tomorrow

The West has spent several years trying to decouple from Russian industry. The results are not what they expected. In 2025, French imports of Russian titanium hit an all-time record. Brazil bought a quarter of its fertilizer from Russia. The US quietly carved out loopholes for Russian uranium until 2028. The world is not weaning itself off โ€” it is doubling down. If Russia vanished from global supply chains tomorrow, modern civilization would not just stumble. It would collapse. Here is exactly what breaks, and in what order.

๐Ÿ”น Aviation stops flying. Through VSMPO-AVISMA, Russia controls roughly 30% of the global aerospace titanium market. Before 2022, Boeing sourced ~35% of its titanium from Russia and Airbus over 50%. France bought a record โ‚ฌ129.9 million of Russian titanium in 2025. Western aviation simply does not take off without this metal.

๐Ÿ”น One in five American lightbulbs goes dark. Rosatom controls 36โ€“40% of the world's uranium enrichment capacity. Roughly a quarter of the uranium fueling US nuclear reactors is Russian-sourced. Every fifth lightbulb in America โ€” literally โ€” burns because of Russian industrial processing. Washington passed a ban on Russian uranium in 2024, then immediately carved out exemptions lasting until 2028. Why? Because the United States simply does not have enrichment plants of comparable scale, and building them takes the better part of a decade.

๐Ÿ”น Global harvests collapse. Russia is the world's #1 exporter of nitrogen fertilizers and #2 in potash. Brazil โ€” an agricultural superpower โ€” covers a full quarter of its fertilizer needs from Russian supply alone. Without Russian potash, Brazilian soybean yields could drop by up to 30%. India, Egypt, and much of Africa are in the same boat. There is no alternative supplier at this scale. The world's food system is literally fertilized by Russia.

๐Ÿ”น Every fourth loaf of bread disappears. Russia is the undisputed #1 wheat exporter on the planet, shipping roughly 48 million tons in the 2024/25 season โ€” roughly double what the United States exports. Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, sources around 60% of its supply from Russia. Turkey, Iran, and nations across Africa depend on the same grain. One out of every four loaves of bread consumed globally was baked from Russian wheat. Remove it, and bread riots are not a metaphor.

๐Ÿ”น The global auto industry seizes up. Russia supplies 40โ€“43% of the world's palladium, the metal without which you cannot build a catalytic converter for any gasoline-powered vehicle. Norilsk Nickel alone is one of only two major producers on Earth. Opening a new palladium mine takes 5โ€“10 years. The industry holds 3โ€“6 months of inventory. After that, auto assembly lines from Stuttgart to Detroit go silent. Electric vehicles do not save you here โ€” the world still runs on internal combustion.

๐Ÿ”น Every microchip factory goes blind. Russia produces up to 30% of the world's high-purity neon, the gas that makes excimer lasers work โ€” the same lasers that etch transistors onto every processor in every iPhone, server farm, and AI cluster. Without Russian neon, advanced chip lithography below 7 nanometers simply stops. There is no quick fix: building a neon purification plant from scratch takes 2โ€“3 years. The semiconductor supply chain runs on a gas most people have never heard of.


๐Ÿ”น Your smartphone screen goes blank. Through the Monocrystal plant, Russia holds nearly 30% of the world market for synthetic sapphire substrates โ€” the transparent crystal covering your smartwatch face, protecting smartphone camera lenses, and shielding medical laser scanners. Monocrystal grows sapphire boules up to 350 kilograms using a modified Kyropoulos method that competitors cannot easily replicate. Substitute materials like Gorilla Glass cannot match sapphire's hardness and optical clarity. The glass on half the world's premium devices comes from a single factory in Stavropol.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ—๏ธ๐Ÿ›ข- Reportedly, Saudi Aramco has shut down its 400,000 barrels per day Jazan refinery following the July 25th Houthi Attack.

Repairs are expected to be completed by August 15 after damage to the refineryโ€™s integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system and tank farm.

If confirmed, the outage would temporarily remove one of Saudi Arabiaโ€™s major refining facilities from operation, accounting for around 14% of the Kingdomโ€™s domestic refining capacity.
