Merry Christmas 2018

In all cases, emphasis added.


And what is Christmas without Brimelow using his young children as props for some implicit tin cup panhandling?  Although here it is more implicit and more indirect than usual:
So I more than ever want to wish a Merry, and blessed, Christmas to our readers, writers and especially donors—God bless you, every one.
Donors are especially blessed; after all, you make things like this possible!  Now, that’s some moral seriousness, to be sure!  What better way to spend “movement” donations?

Notice how Asians rank here.  Closer to Blacks and Hispanics than even to Jews.  Colored is as colored does.  Asians: A more intelligent form of Negro.

I have mixed opinions about Taleb’s criticism of the worth of IQ.  On the one hand, I agree with him that some people over-rate the importance of IQ.  After all, I am one of the leading Far Right critics of HBD and the Alt Wrong, and I have criticized the HBDers’ fetishistic obsession with IQ.  There are indeed “intellectual idiots” out there – consider how many academics are dogmatic leftists, spouting the most absurd nonsense.  We also have such types on our side as well. So, yes, IQ is not a complete measure of human worth, and a high IQ does not automatically equate with success.  Note the extreme deficiencies of high-IQ Jews and Asians, as well as high-IQ Whites who cannot understand fundamental realities in the midst of their demented intellectualized fantasies. But…

On the other hand, Taleb goes too far.  Just because something is over-rated does not mean it is not vitally important.  Just because something is not sufficient does not mean it is not necessary.  The entire modern world has been built by high-IQ (European-derived male) individuals, and low-IQ areas are cesspools of filth and degradation.  The following riposte to Taleb is also cogent:
It's funny to see someone with a genius level IQ like Taleb (a talented quant and professor) literally deny the importance of the metric, when he himself no doubt has a very high IQ, and would not have the cognitive abilities or success he enjoys without it.
It’s easy to be a contrarian and take a controversial position that focuses attention on your views; it is more practical to see the positive and negatives of different human traits.  Ironically enough, Taleb’s own criticism of IQ is precisely the type of intellectualized theorizing, independent of real world common sense, that he rails against. A pragmatic view would be that IQ is fundamentally important but incomplete; it is simply one component of a person’s mental toolkit, only one part of their cognitive and behavioral portfolio.  Taleb instead takes an impractical, rigidly dogmatic approach to the subject and he is wrong for doing so.

To put it in juvenile Alt Right language: Taleb is “sperging out” as badly as any IQ-obsessed ivory tower intellectual.

What is Rudolph’s cephalic index?  Durocher, get out your calipers!

Hey!  I thought – according to Roissy and his commentators – that Whitaker was a “Bane” who was going to properly do The God Emperor’s budding. Trouble in paradise?  Say it ain’t so!  Fake news!  Trust the phyzz!

Wrong, wrong, they’re always wrong.

Zman writes about the Neocons:
A sleazy dimwit like Goldberg accusing anyone of being mean spirited or stupid reveals a breathtaking lack of self-awareness. That is the very essence of the neoconservative, when you look at the shabby cast of characters flying the flag. Bill Kristol has been wrong about everything for decades, yet he shamelessly waddles around lecturing everyone, as if he is brilliant wise man. A normal man, possessing even a shred of decency, would be in hiding now if he had the record of Bill Kristol.
Rewritten:
A sleazy dimwit like [fill in the name of any “movement leader”] accusing anyone of being mean spirited or stupid reveals a breathtaking lack of self-awareness. That is the very essence of the Type I Quota Queen, when you look at the shabby cast of characters flying the flag.  “Movement leaders” have been wrong about everything for decades, yet they shamelessly waddle around lecturing everyone, as if they are brilliant wise men. A normal man, possessing even a shred of decency, would be in hiding now if he had the record of any of those losers.

Those Japanese Ice People

"Derb Jr." writes and whines. Read this as an antidote to despicable scum like Jason Malloy who once (~ 15 years ago) absurdly labeled Japan as a “Western” nation. If white people are to become minorities in the countries our ancestors built, and if we face a future where we may be ruled over by envious and malevolent non-whites, I would rather my overlords be Japanese than Muslims or sub-Saharan Africans.  And let’s not forget those Chinese girls with guns. Of course, if possible I prefer to live free among my own people. Too late…you made your bed and now lie in it… literally. But if, by some miracle, white ethno-states become a reality in the West, will I—and my Japanese wife and mixed-race child—be accepted?  No. Or would I be rejected as a miscegenating traitor to my race? Yes, you filthy scum. My wife has many years of experience living and working in the US, and our child was born there. We agree that life in America is in many ways preferable to living in Japan. ...

Tales of Fst: Sallis vs. Lewontin

A small scale yet informative analysis of genetic variation. Read this. We are all aware of the “more variation within groups than between groups” argument against the biological validity of race. Now, I believe – or at least hope – that honest population geneticists (albeit very few if any exist) know better not to make absurd claims about Lewontin’s “finding” – that it “makes race meaningless” or that “people are more closely related to members of other races than members of their own race.”  At least they won’t say that among themselves, in their publications, or among other types of academics, but maybe they’ll still try to fool the rubes; after all, from my personal experience most population geneticists are anti-White SJW leftists. The problem is more with your rank-and-file leftist, your Tim Wise types, your opinion writers, “anthropologists,” openly political population geneticists (the majority who are apparently dishonest), writers of “popular science,” politicians, blogg...

Take a Bite Out of That Nothingburger!

Der Movement: Always, always, always wrong. Watch this. The “nothingburger” continues , eh “movement?” Please read about the monsters here. The jury is still out as to what caused the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. Chinese authorities initially suspected a wet market in Wuhan where wild animals like bats and snakes were sold illegally. A nearby biolab has also attracted scrutiny, and increased suspicion as Chinese authorities have been stubbornly unwilling to cooperate with skeptics requests. But regardless of how the outbreak started, it has already raised questions about traditional Chinese practices of consuming wild animals, either for medicinal purposes - for example, it's believed that eating civet cats, vermin akin to raccoons, can bequeath more sexual vigor - or as delicacies (remember "bat soup"?). I suppose that “more sexual vigor” via a civet cat snack is necessary in the absence of any phenotypic sexual dimorphism among potential partners. SJWs (and I suppos...
