Nate Silver Wonders Why Taylor Lorenz Won't Post Her Age or Birthdate (and She Actually Posts Her Age)

For those of you who don't know why we're always picking on her: Because she's constantly doxing and defaming people and calling for cancellations and then crying on TV when anyone sends "hate" her way.

She hides her age because she wheedles her way in to "interviews" with teenagers and wants to pretend she's a generation younger than she really is. Apparently her family owns important internet archives and all biographical information about her has been scrubbed. You know, like she's some kind of super-spy.

The infantile woman who outed LibsofTikTok's name and place of business is complaining about someone "directing online hate" towards her.

White lefties have been in a bubble of privilege so long and subscribe to a political philosophy -- or, more accurately, a political cope -- that says they are owed even more privileges.

They melt down and scream when they don't get the privileges they believe they're entitled to, so many people have coddled them these past ten years and granted these privileges, thinking, wrongly, that it was easier to give baby their ba-ba than to stand up to them.

They were wrong. Giving in to these entitled terrorists' demands only encouraged, get this, more terrorism, and has led to more and more extravagant demands of privilege and deference.

But people are now pushing back. And the coddled, privileged lefties are melting down even more crazily now, because they've become so accustomed to getting their own way when they crime, scream, and stamp their feet.

But this 71-year-old woman, whose car was hit by an uninsured Millennial who then fled the scene, isn't having it.

Commenters have brought up the concept of an "extinction burst" -- something children do when they're disciplined.

And obviously these adult children have never been disciplined before.

Google AI's summary:

An extinction burst is a temporary increase in the intensity, duration, or frequency of an unwanted behavior that occurs when a reward or reinforcement is taken away. It's a part of the extinction process, which is used to reduce or stop behaviors that were previously rewarded.

Here are some examples of extinction bursts:

Withholding screen time
When a parent withholds screen time until a child completes their homework, the child may experience an extinction burst.

Withholding praise
When a parent stops praising a child for a particular behavior, the child may experience an extinction burst.

Withholding a desired outcome
When a toddler stops crying to get their way, they may escalate to a tantrum to get the desired outcome.

Extinction bursts can be a sign that an intervention is working, but they can also be aversive and unintentionally reinforce the behavior. When an extinction burst occurs, it's important to not react with fear and to pay as little attention to the behavior as possible.

As Halperin said, we're headed for the greatest mental health crisis in American history. We're going to see a huge escalation in nervous breakdowns and bursts of leftwing violence as we tell them "no."

For some, this will be an extinction burst, and they will begin comporting themselves to the New Rules.

For others: They'll pick up a gun or axe and kill their families or maybe themselves.

It's going to get a little choppy.
