Minnesota Madness
The same people who gave us the George Floyd Summer of Thugs have returned with the Vance Boelter False Flag Insurrection. There is something seriously wrong with the people living in Minnesota. This guy Boelter previously served on Minnesota’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board, appointed by Governor Mark Dayton in 2016 and reappointed by Tim Walz in 2019. There are even claims that Boelter’s wife, Jennifer Boelter, worked as an intern for Tim Walz in 2010 when he was a Congressman.
Either this guy Boelter is trying to start a civil war or the people in Minnesota are just so randomly crazy that anyone is just as likely to be an advisor to the governor or a homicidal maniac or both. By tomorrow we’ll probably find out that Boelter has come out in favor of Palestine and the people of Minnesota have made him governor by acclamation.
So, somehow this guy gets access to a look-alike unmarked police cruiser, a police uniform and equipment (gun, taser, body armor) and goes on a killing spree; whacking high-ranking legislators and their families on a whim? I’m sorry. Minnesotans are just too crazy and stupid to be allowed to walk around loose. The whole state should be turned into a low-temperature nut house where Somalis and Scandinavians can torture each other in adjoining padded rooms between bouts of shock therapy and whole-body ice water immersion.
But none of this is a surprise. Tim Walz is a weird creepy man who should never have been elected dog catcher never mind the governor of a state. Every time he talks in front of an audience every other sentence is a misstatement or gibberish. The fact that Kamala Harris chose him as her vice-presidential running mate is proof that he’s a drooling idiot. She didn’t dare pick anyone with even normal intelligence for fear of making herself appear even stupider.
It remains to be seen just how close the relationship is between Walz and Boelter. If it turns out there’s a close connection then God help Walz. He’ll be fed to the wolves by his own party. They’ll probably impeach him and boot him out of the governor’s mansion.
And you know what? It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. After how he fanned the fires of the Geroge Floyd riots and caused untold damage to the people caught up in the violence and all the damage done afterward by the coddling of criminals, it would be poetic justice if he was kicked to the curb by his own people.
And even if he survives, the dysfunctional politics of Minnesota will continue to plague the people who vote for the race baiters and hypocrites there and lead to the psychopaths like Boelter who go slowly crazy in the cold and then erupt into madness and wipe out the very people they depend on for political favors and perks. Well, bad things come in threes. First LA erupts into chaos. Now Minnesota unleashes a mass murderer. What’s next? New York City sinks into the ocean? Stay tuned.
15JUN2025 – Quote of the Day
Of these not right forms of government*… monarchy, when bound by good written rules, which we call laws, is the best of all the six; but without law it is hard and most oppressive to live with. The government of the few must be considered intermediate, both in good and in evil. The government of the multitude is weak in all respects and able to do nothing great, either good or bad, when compared with the other forms of government…; therefore of all these governments when they are lawful, this is the worst, and when they are all lawless it is the best.
Plato

Tom’s World – 14JUN2025 – How Many Humans, Redux
Obviously, you could plot a graph with the x axis being total human population and the y axis being some amalgam of average human well being. I’m pretty sure it won’t graph as an exponential function, that’s impossible. It would be a bell shaped curve with maximum human happiness occurring at some level and declining in both direction, more population or less.
The population peak, I suspect, will occur at the point of maximum available resources, including energy per capita. And I also suspect that increasing resource availability largely pulls population as opposed to population increase pushing resources.
Total available energy per capita may well be the bottleneck. But there will come a point at which the total resources of a large but closed system cannot continue to increase to match.
There are probably other limits. A future with the average population density on earth being that of Hong Kong, no matter resource availability, would explode.
Maybe we could start hollowing out large asteroids, spin them, and make little worlds. That’s a common SF scenario. Or a Dyson sphere, one of those of radius of the earth’s orbit would give 1.21 x 10^17th square miles of living space.
The Wise of Heart: A Modern-Day Re-Imagining of the Scopes Monkey Trial by Hans G. Schantz – A Book Review
“Inherit the Wind” was a famous fictionalized account of the Scope’s Monkey Trial of the early twentieth century. It centered on a young school teacher who was arrested and put on trial for teaching the theory of evolution in the Bible Belt where laws had been passed to forbid it.
Dr. Schantz has managed to swap out transgender orthodoxy for fundamentalist creationism in his story and crafted a courtroom drama that captures all of the nuances of our present-day retreat from reality that calls sexually mutilating adolescents, “gender-affirming therapy” and allows grade school teachers to conspire with social workers to perform these procedures on minors despite parents’ horrified resistance. A high school biology teacher is accused of teaching the biological facts of human sexuality and this throws him in conflict with a state law that forbids a teacher from challenging a student’s “selected gender identity.”
For those familiar with the movie version of “Inherit the Wind,” some of the plot twists will reappear in a new analog. But this isn’t a rehash of the old story. This is a very in-depth look at the illogic and fallacies of the transgender narrative and the way different parts of the government, the medical profession, media and academia pander to the delusions of confused children and frighten their parents into allowing terrible things to be done to their children.
The story is inhabited by a cast of characters that interlock at multiple points. Small town politics and society mesh with national political figures who have their own agendas but seize upon the trial as the perfect battlefield to win a victory for their side. Both sides are portrayed believably. The woke activists aren’t just straw men but sound quite close to what their real counterparts sound like in news clips. The details of the trial sound extremely close to what the transcript of a trial would consist of.
So, what did I think of the story? I think the story takes a while to get going. There is a set-up needed to get all the pieces in position for the trial. During this period the reader will have to be patient. Once the trial gets going the story finds its stride and becomes a courtroom drama. And I found the ending satisfying without being overdone. As with its predecessor it doesn’t attempt to write a conclusion to the clash going on in the story but rather capture the flavor of the two opposing sides and show how each side attempts to paint itself and its opponents using the weapons that each prefers. The Left fixates on emotions and idealism while the Right points to logic and reality.
Who is this book for? Well, first off, people of the woke persuasion will not be amused. Despite being reasonably accurate in his portrayal of the woke side they don’t come off as sympathetic characters. So, this leaves moderates and people on the Right. Also, this book is a courtroom drama and folks who read these are its intended audience. Personally, I liked the book. I liked the defense attorney and I despised the prosecutor. This made the courtroom battle satisfying for me. But you’ll have to make up your mind based on what I’ve described whether this is your kind of story.

Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men—lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, lovers of gain?

How Many Humans Should There Be on Earth?
I asked Grok how many humans are currently living on Earth. It said, “As of June 12, 2025, the world population is approximately 8.23 billion people. This estimate is based on projections from the United Nations and other demographic sources, which indicate the global population surpassed 8 billion in November 2022 and continues to grow at a rate of about 0.84% to 0.89% per year.”
Eight billion two hundred thirty million is a big number. That’s a whole lot of people. At the same time, most advanced countries are barely or not even replacing their dead with children. At the same time, we’ve been told that AI will make almost all of our cognitive work skills redundant and substandard.
These three facts being true at the same time means that the future of humanity is in flux. We know that people like Bill Gates and the other globalists think the answer is stop humans from producing children. That simplifies their work to merely managing a last generation of aging humans while the population of Earth is reduced to some tiny fraction of the current billions. And that lucky remnant will be the globalists who will inherit the Earth without all those messy and expensive plebians.
And they’re making a very good start to the plan. They’ve brainwashed a good chunk of the Millennials and the Zoomers into thinking producing children is morally wrong. They’ve convinced them that Gaia isn’t happy sharing the planet with humans and the best thing to do is play video games, watch porn and take drugs while waiting for death. Of course that’s not everyone. Plenty of people are still having kids but the numbers are way down.
The real question is how do we want the human population of Earth to exist going forward? Well, when I was young, we were told that the opposite problem existed. Malthusian theory said that eventually human population growth would eventually outstrip food supply and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; starvation, war, pestilence and death would ensue. The reason this didn’t happen is a combination of technological advances in food production (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, mechanical planting and harvesting equipment and superior plant species) and effective birth control agents.
At this point governments have to incentivize people (especially women) to have children. Hungary is one of the pioneers in this idea. They provide incentives for Hungarian women to have children and even provide lifetime tax-free status to women that have four children.
Obviously unlimited human reproduction could become a problem again in the future but currently the globalist campaign has made that an unlikely problem for the foreseeable future. But the question is will the United States shift its policies to try and restore fertility to at least replacement levels or will we depend on immigration to take up the slack? If we go with immigration then it’s inevitable that the country will change drastically. The culture that made America such a desirable place to live has already been eroded by the globalist program of demonizing the European descendants that built the nation. If this continues much longer it will inevitably turn the United States into a third world country like Brazil or Mexico.
As to what will be the eventual population of Earth (my original question), I think inevitably it will decrease. And this will be caused by the decay of Western civilization and the attendant degradation of food production capacity. Currently western countries feed the third world. And feed them so well that obesity is endemic throughout these poor countries. When Europe has transitioned to a majority non-European population it will no longer be able to “feed the world.” And the four horsemen will reappear to balance out the population back to food production limits. Within a century the population of Earth will be about a billion people. Should it be more? We’ll never know.
