No, Alyssa Liu isn't an Übermensch. You're close but still far

Choosing your own path, retiring early, and returning on your own terms is an act of admirable personal autonomy, but the Übermensch isn't simply someone who achieves personal wellness within an existing system.

An Übermensch wouldn't just excel or find joy within an established institution they would forge entirely new paradigms and create their own "sport." Operating according to the rules, scoring systems, and structures of competitive figure skating remains bound to existing human frameworks.

Nietzsche's ideal requires the creation of entirely new, transcendent values that displace traditional morality and societal norms, not just achieving personal freedom or peace of mind within them

The shock of how desensitized rhetoric surrounding unborn life is these days pushed me to become Pro-Life

I’ve only identified as pro-life for about 4 months. Before that, I considered myself casually pro-choice, mostly absorbing the standard narrative through osmosis: "The mother carries the child, so she gets to decide."

At the time, I viewed abortion as a grave, tragic decision that ultimately rested with the mother. However, as I saw public discourse shift toward treating abortion as something to celebrate or normalize reducing the fetus to "just a clump of cells" or promoting slogans like "Shout Your Abortion" it genuinely shocked me. Seeing that desensitization prompted me to step back, re-evaluate my assumptions, and look at the issue through a completely different lens.

When I started asking questions, the hostility I encountered only accelerated my shift. Facing immediate accusations of bigotry and dismissal "It's just a clump of cells dude" instead of genuine dialogue pushed me into a more defensive posture. It forced me to look deeper into the pro-life arguments, and I realized that side raised valid concerns that were being dismissed far too quickly.

I understand where the mother is coming from this isn't the way though

Kids don't understand nuance all they'll get from this is "men bad"

There's something really funny about her "who started all the wars?" because for the same reason why most leaders were men is the same reason why most wars were started by men, women were held back.

"Men are bad partners, that's why women think Patrick did it and they are right"

Notice how it's not because they lack critical thinking. It's not because they are biased its because "men bad".

Also this is the same logic used to justify racial profiling btw.

Surrogate who refused abortion goes public to save the baby she's carrying

This interview features McKenna West, a surrogate mother who has taken a courageous public stand to save the life of the baby she is carrying.

The Diagnosis: During a routine ultrasound, the baby was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a condition that experts believe can be treated with a series of surgeries.

The Conflict: Despite the high survival rate associated with the necessary medical interventions, the intended parents demanded that West undergo an abortion and initiated a legal battle when she refused.

The Fight for Life: Facing significant financial threats and legal pressure, West sought support and filed for custody, stating her only goal is to ensure the baby receives the life-saving surgery he needs.

Industry Critique: West advocates for changes to the surrogacy industry, arguing that current contracts often strip women of their bodily autonomy and treat unborn children as disposable commodities.
