Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman, was killed by euthanasia on March 26th in Barcelona. Her case gained worldwide prominence due to Noelia’s status as the first person granted to die of euthanasia in Spain due to mental health issues.

We discuss the case, euthanasia’s knock on effects on other services, the UK’s defeat of proposed assisted suicide laws, and how euthanasia laws are an acceptance of institutional failure. 

Plus,  Anna Khachiyan’s dehumanisation of Noelia in the final hours of her life, pre-Christian Europe’s relationship with death, the book Do Not Go Gentle, and why Noelia’s life need not have been one tragedy after another.

Transgenderism is in rapid decline across the UK and U.S., demonstrating it always was a social trend and without institutional backing would fold. We discuss how in contrast homosexuality is not a trend, is transhistorical, and not geographically contingent. Plus, Trans YouTubers views falling off a cliff, lesbians continuing to call themselves 'non-binary' to signal desires and expectations rather than adopt a Trans identity, detransitioners providing good warnings by example, and the legacy of the uptick in Trans due to Covid lockdowns.

We discuss the recent war on Iran launched by America and Israel, focusing on why regime change in the Middle East through interventionism has no precedent of success. Whatever happened to Trump's sentiment of America First? And what will the impact on our economies be? Plus, liberal democracy, chaos in the gulf states, and why so many feminists from a place of good intention support the war.

We discuss the Green Party's by-election victory in Manchester last week, how the Greens marry support for Islam with support for woke transgender politics, and why they’re likely to be the opposition government at the next General Election. 

Plus, the new political reality of sectarian voting, the meaning of the niqab, the paradox of multicultural vulnerability, and the middle-class slowly disappearing as part of the economic third worldification of the UK.

We discuss the online live streaming phenom that is Clavicular and looksmaxxing as a feminisation of a masculine dynamic. Looksmaxxing's technologisation of the body is now firmly part of the transhumanist and posthumanist universe, as Peter Thiel's affinity with Clavicular (Braden Peters) indicates.  If Bryan Johnson's optimisation of the body is posthumanism in service of health in the face of death as the ultimate reality, looksmaxxing is its far unhealthier, destructive cousin. 
To what extent is adopting the gaze of others as a barometer of worth actually helpful to Clav's young male fanbase of chads, chuds, incels, and moggers? And why has this new peculiar language sprung up around the subculture of looksmaxxing?
Plus, classmaxxing, why romantic love is necessarily a bit embarrassing, live streaming as the video gamification of real life, and the role of autism and social inhibition in all of this.
