I’ve mentioned my friend Steve Sailer a couple of times.
He has been a very influential conservative commentator for around 30 years. He and I don't see eye to eye on a great many things but he's an honorable fellow of intelligence and wit and a friend to boot.
From his comment threads quite a few people have arrived here at Yadidya. Many of them have been silly antisemitic fools who read Steve because they mistakenly assume that his brand of tourettes implies hidden antisemitic leanings, but a number of his readers understand him correctly and have come here on their own steam and wity excellent values and worthwhile intelligence.
Luke arrived here via the following exchange.
In a thread regarding the pre-Columbian Central American propensity for human sacrifice Steve included an offhanded remark about Abraham's binding of Isaac.
Luke Lea wisely responded:
I had hitherto been unfamiliar with Luke’s works but as you will see in a moment, the one I just read is definitely worthy.
I responded to Luke in Steve’s thread thusly:
Yeah.

The ancient stuff is magnificent when read as intended rather than as read by grownup schoolchildren who were taught by teachers who themselves never progressed in understanding beyond what they’d learned in school.
Multiply by one or two hundred generations and…walla.
Debunkers set light to strawmen, but not much else.
He responded by sampling our ouevre here and joining us here at Yadidya with the following blurb for publication.
And he responded here on Yadidya as well.
For necessary reasons both economic and practical only members can comment here on Yadidya. In response to the following recent post here he commented with a link to an article on his own which is very good and which I recommend reading.
Here's the hyperlink to his piece Facing Zionwards
Shalom Luke,
Your piece is great! Very entertaining.
Did they really ask you to drop your drawers??
The closest I got to that was having some midnight cemetery-dwelling drug hooligan teens insist that I was Israeli because I didn't have a tattoo of a cross on my wrist.
See the Copts in Egypt have all been tattooed as babies for a thousand years since so many of them were being stolen and "saved" so these lovely cemetery dwelling teens assumed that everyone in America (which is where I truthfully said I was from) was also tattooed.
I could have explained that America didn't have an historical problem with Muslim Baby Thieves so the practice of tattooing your zip code on your arm never became a necessity, but somehow I held my tongue.
To be doubleplus clear, Egyptians are awesome. I mean that sincerely. Every country has its equivalent of midnight cemetery-dwelling drug hooligan teens.
Regarding a Christian 20 year old I'd met a few hours earlier.

It was genuinely cool to see that his religion was more than just some cultural color but a genuine and deep care and conviction.
As one familiar with the warped mindset of celibate young men I shared the above video with him too. As experiences later that evening proved, it's best that young men not be lied to quite so much. Heck, it may even be best for us all to lie a whole lot less about the rest of society's cynical little fibs.
It was also really interesting to read about the fellow who raised his sons to die conquering Israel. I’ve had similar conversations. In fact I mention one such conversation I had in Jordan in my dead serious video published shortly after October 7th.
It is also in that video that I include the same recommendation that you have to settle land differences monetarily.
I’ve yet to read anybody else but you make that suggestion and I am very impressed.
I hope your influences extends.
As I discussed just today, rational good people are rare. We need to gain more attention and clout. Let those who disagree come and talk with us live before the world. If they are right we will conceed and if we are right their mysterious mad passions will fizzle before the world in the face of logic and universal goodness.
On "Dear Antisemites"
Our recent video “Dear Jew Haters” was well received and received many excellent comments. I responded to a few within the comment thread but ought to give them more publicity, so please check them out and comment there. Here is the most recent one.
Welcome aboard Luke, may your sort of person increase among mankind. If you know of others please invite them here. We are stronger together. Perhaps we can find a way to get the humanity’s attention.
