> One possibility is that these are in-built instincts that are induced in our “evolutionary match” of high mortality salience and the desire to have children.
That’s very misleading. There actually is no such thing as “instincts that … desire to have children.” There is a sexual instinct which can result in a female cat going into heat every so often. And there is a maternal instinct which kicks in after the kittens have been born. But there is no instinct which actually coheres into a desire for children before the sexual act itself has been consummated.
Even human males can feel a paternal instinct to care for a child once it has been born. Human females, if not mentally deranged, will quite obviously feel a strong maternal instinct to care for the offspring of their loins. But any desire for children that may be formulated in the mind before the pregnancy itself is simply an intellectual concept. Humans are able to recognize patterns so that we not only are aware that sex leads to pregnancy in a way which animals are not, but we may even come to a conclusion that marriage and family might, at least in certain circumstances, prove beneficial in ways that are not anticipated by simple sexual desire.
If lower IQ individuals reproduce more frequently, this simply reflects the fact that such people are less likely to anticipate a need for birth-control until it is too late. They are more likely to engage in activities which result in unplanned pregnancy. A society which wants the higher IQ members to be reproducing needs to think more about granting respect to such individuals in a way which encourages reproduction. Perhaps some Asiatic societies still do this. Western societies stopped doing such during the economic boom which followed World War II. Even many of the most successful and well-respected people in the West of the last 75 years generally found that they could be a big hit by using birth-control, limiting pregnancy, and possibly banging a load of chicks. In such a context, there’s no reason to think that such people should want to produce a lot of children.
A comment in this article to the effect that intelligent people desire fewer children would seem to oppose a main point of my favorite natalist (and economist) Bryan Caplan, who tirelessly advocates people have children for “selfish reasons.”
None of Caplan’s pronouncements would seem to have made any reference to the parents’ intelligence, but much about them would seem to assume/advocate that parents perform their parental obligations diligently, if not strenuously.
Look him up. He’s very interesting on a plethora of subjects.
Absolutely true about the women. Wtf was the late cold propaganda about that? Truly upside down.
Nordic countries maintain robust registers . One easy way to refute support or maintain uncertainty is simply to look at the milestones in early childhood including motor developments and age of walking .Then ascertain relationship of walking to scholastic aptitude in school and colleges ,find relationship to success in career , and jobs, and to achievement in arts, politics, music,dance, athletics, medicine, IT,business, tech and finances .
This is a reasonable remark in the context of an article whose focus is declared to be, not Rushton's character, but confirmation of his theorizing.Dutton has a lot more to say about Rushton's failings, however.
There may have been much to dislike about Rushton personally, but this is part of why he was a highly original thinker.
What analytical purpose does all this serve? What relevance, if any, to Rushton’s findings can be adduced to justify detractionat this level of detail of a man who has been dead for a dozen years?Professor Dutton, have you stopped beating your wife?Replies: @Verymuchalive
This meant [Rushton] didn’t care about offending people (which new ideas always do, as they challenge vested interests), and he was low in rule-following (so could think the unthinkable). Consistent with this, he was divorced three times, had extra-marital affairs, knocked his third wife about, had an illegitimate child by a relationship with a Black woman, dropped out of school and got a girl of about 15, and possibly younger, pregnant.
I think Prof Dutton takes the view: you’re going to find out about this anyway, so it is best coming from me, who knew him personally, first. We can then set this to one side and concentrate on the man’s work.
That’s what I thought initially. Then it dawned on me that this is the trailer for a future article on Rushton..As Dutton wrote: “There may have been much to dislike about Rushton personally, but this is part of why he was a highly original thinker.”
It will look at the social iconoclast from the perspective of evolutionary psychology: their scofflaw attitude to laws, rules, sexual mores: their complete indifference to other peoples’ feelings and their habitual risk taking. The iconoclast’s context in formerly high trust societies will be examined. Coming soon:

‘Intelligent People Learn to Walk Later, Just as He Predicted’
I’d have guessed that myself. A proportionately larger head will make walking harder.
It’s just like sitting up. Black babies can sit up earlier than white or Asian babies. Their heads are smaller.
Look at blacks some time. It’s not a hidden secret or a debatable point. On average, and proportionate to body size, their heads are smaller.
Horse hockey! You are basically spewing verbal diarrhea throwing different kinds of info you picked up in your life and basically since now you have lots of info and think you are genius now decided to form it into a coherent theory of everything. Generally people who get in on Unz (including myself) are that type of individual.
No, you are not a genius, what you are doing is just throwing sh.. at a wall and hoping it will stick and not stink but you are so confused by all the info you don’t realize you are doing this.
Basically, its the same process Freud, Velikovsky, L Ron Hubbard, Joseph Smith and lottsa others undergone. I kind of regret writing this because I know you will reply with some other weird info and I will reply with other weird info to that and you will reply to that with other weird info and I will reply to your weird info with other weird….in an endless loop (I know if we continue on that route it will eventually include old tank technology as it always does, the funny thing being is that neither of us have ever driven an old time tank but somehow we’re experts)
So to start let’s just address your BIZARRE belief that Slavs lack motor skills (that is indeed a bizarre belief, Holy F…! are you normal?), well here is my weird info:
Industrial manufacturing and design is all interconnected, components of an industry learn from each other. Skoda and Tatra, traditional Czech car brands (there were a lot more Czech car brands- all quite good) were finely made and the German auto industry learned a lot from them (and vice versa because industrial design and manufacturing is interconnected and people learn from each other-I know I said this already but you didn’t get it the first time around)-the VW Beetle was a copy of a Tatra car, in fact eventually VW, due to court decision, had to pay compensation for stealing the design. Skoda is part of the VW concern now but generally a Skoda is a much better assembled car than a VW. Generally over the centuries a Czech made thing was generally much better made than an equivalent German thing (we’ll leave the old tank technology until later).
That Russian goods (including cars) are shoddy is a long term Western propaganda thing. Generally (remember the emphasis is on generally) Russian things like cars, fridges, artificial penises, light bulbs outlast the lifetime of equivalent Western stuff-the shoddiness is actually Western (generally).
Russian shoddiness is the equivalent of Cold War Western propaganda that Slavic women are ugly (addressing Unz old-timers: do you remember that propaganda ploy? Who remembers that-please provide some examples if you have time). When things opened, the real fact was that they were much more beautiful than Western women (generally).
We generally don’t own Russian stuff since their stuff has been under high import taxes for a long time (that policy predates the Ukrainian war) and since we have no experience with owning Russian stuff we believe Western propaganda about it being shoddy just as we believed Western propaganda about Russian women being extremely ugly.
The point to you personally is that basically you think like your overlords want you to think, while you yourself believe you are some sort of an Earth-shaking rebel (your overlords are kind of OK with that). Funny how socialization works.
Oh…just to explain to those who might be interested…
…yeah the Soviets (the old-timey commie Soviets! not the current Russians!) manufactured dildoes with a feedback loop in the fifties including erection functions. I kid you not. Western dildo technology got stuck into the bunch of hard plastic paradigm which it never got out of. That there was a better technology alternative nobody in the West knows about due to Western arrogance (and the fact that the Soviets were pushing the limit the state-of-the-art fifties technology).
Hey, you didn’t know that did ya?…well now you know, add that to your store of information and make an overall theory of everything from it.
Let’s continue (don’t worry I’ll end soon); in order to assemble satellites, manned spacecraft (I think the current PC term is now personned spacecraft) electronic components, nuclear stuff and all that sh..you kindda have to have fine motor skills. Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, proud countries and all, never made a space probe or a man…personned spacecraft and their nuke tech was imported. Why is that? Obviously, Danes, the Swiss, Swedes lack fine motor skills and Russians can make this stuff while still managing to fart and play the balalaika at the same time too because of their fine motor skills (yeah yeah I’m messin’ with ya).
Look this debate has the potential of being endless. If you decide to reply because that is how you get self-esteem and sexual pleasure I have to forewarn you I know how you will reply and I will reply to that and we’ll eventually include a discussion of old tank technology which is a fate worse than getting rammed by a Western dildo.
Just let it go and accept you wrote something silly. C’mon we all do that especially if we have lots of info about non-related subjects that you want to share and that, for some reason, to you and me seems to fit into a coherent whole.
Very interesting. Being an only child my parents I know invested a lot in me – but I also I also think there were a lot of missing links in my personality that made maneuvering through life socially difficult. Many light bulbs did not go off until I well into adulthood. Life has been one long, sometimes tedious, sometimes painful, and sometimes a joy of a learning experience.
when i say he was drawing, i’m not saying he was drawing like raphael, i mean he had a pencil in his hand for the majority of the day. it was how he amused himself, there was always plenty of paper available, paints, crayons, markers. he would make drawings of his favorite cartoon characters and cut them out, making elaborate sets for them. he had every toy in the world, but prefered to draw and make his own. i save all of his drawings in fileboxes and still have them buried in the closet. i haven’t look at them in years and i intended them to be an archive of his work and to document the changes in his skills as he grew up. they are really for him to find after i pass on.
i feel that early childhood development is critical and how much we speak and read to our children influences their final level of intelligence. i never spoke down to my son and i spoke to him as i would speak to my adult friends, if he didn’t understand what i was saying, he would ask and as a result he ended up with a large vocabulary at an early age. young children soak up knowledge like a sponge, especially language, we waste this time in our educational systems, that are little more than wearhouses and in the process we make kids hate learning, because they hate school.
my son learned to read playing video games, he didn’t even know he was being schooled. we also waste their early math skills by wasting grades one through six, teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, for six years. my son covered that in two years and we only worked for a couple hours a day. he loved learning and the older he got the more he pursued his studies out of his own interests.
As a very general rule, theoreticians of Negro inferiority or animalism, do have at an abnormal degree extensive love and sex affairs with some black partner, which far from giving up out of a reaction of disappointment by racial reality leading them to sublimate their personal findings into scientific works of some sort, they continue to entertain and repeat all life-long as a personal fantasy while they warn their public against them (in other words they sexually fantasize about bequeathing a more stupid world to the following generations through their own personal action). This kind of pseudo-scientist is even worse than those who thronged around the lefty gurus and hollered for desegregation and racial equality while taking utmost care only White workers would suffer from it, not them.
Moreover Rushton in case you haven’t noticed is a Jewish supremacist in his conclusions not a defender of his own kind. Rushton’s ideas are marked neither by much common sense (otherwise he would have abstained from sex with people he deems to be defective for reproduction with himself and rather indulged in some kind of more benevolent paternalistic racism such as Schweitzer’s) nor by great genius. He just keeps content from deriving conclusions from very gross and not so spectacular mass statistical data. For instance he highlights the superior IQ of many East Asians without considering that those East Asians, as a shame-and honour driven culture or genetic complexion (no matter), will take these tests far more seriously as real indicators of their own value up to the point of committing suicide when they fail them (which means that without such a pressure and driven only by their own interest for the subject of combination mathematics they would be no better than a guilt and pleasure driven culture such as the Mediterranean people maybe), while in Haiti, a fear and pride driven culture to the point of morbidity, supposedly on the lowest mean IQ of the world, people are as a rule conspiracy theorists and fear for being detected by the powers that be as too openly intelligent to be hired for confidence jobs, like poker-players who hide their game, and deliberately play dumb when given a test unless there is a real promise of a good promotion at the end of it, which is generally not the case at all.
Rushton is proud to remark that economic development has an about 100 mean IQ as a prerequisite as it is generally indicative of a more rational mass conduct leading to more competence in the execution of dreary, pleasure deferring technical jobs needed by a developed civilisation as well as to a disgust for corruption when it counteracts merit.
False : nearly all Slavic people despite having very honourable mental test results both in East and West (as immigrants) have been shown to be as utterly lacking of fine motor skills such as manifested by industrial peoples (there never was a tolerably good mass-produced personal car in Slavic countries without mass injection of foreign know-how and middle manpower : they are better at military production because it is a domain where concerns of efficiency per unit of work and resources deployed are not really at play) as are the people of Congo or of Central America, and they are known to be satisfied with an anti-meritocratic corruption-based economic (the only intellectual disciplines they do attain world champion level at are zero-sum games, such as chess) wherever they settle, in Detroit or Gary as well as in their native Poland or Russia.
More so than Kirkegaard?

I don’t think a statistical correlation implies an Iron Law.
“he received a full bright futures scholarship to any state school but chose a private school, because his girlfriend wanted to take her nursing degree in a school with minarets (that didn’t have a real math department) after 27, he flatten out into a libratard. i did my best.”
At least you tried, hopefully, he’ll still come around.
Since the even the greatest artists (such as Raphael) started to achieve things only about age eight (which was ten years ahead of most), it would be extraordinary for any child of less than a year old to anything of substance in drawing. If the drawings are posted online anywhere we would like to see them. By the way, it well documented that even geniuses in math tend to flourish only after their teen years.

I always had a passing interest in Rushton and his work, but now reading the above has made me write him off completely.
math skills tend to peak in the mid 20’s, what did newton do after 27? there is a window for learning and our current western educational systems are either clueless to this or purposefully destroying the potential of future generations.
My Football, Soccer theory is that black players tend to shine early in their professional careers but rarely reach potential like a white guy who hits prime around 25-27.
Coaches beware of hiring the fast paced black boys. They may not end up doing your squad any good. Don’t let the skillful slighter white teenagers drop away from the sport as they will grow into the job of professionalism later. As God or Nature appears to have ordained it.

Vitamin D Status and Its Association with Multiple Intelligence among Arab Adolescents
Ahmed S Mohammed Metwally et al. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021.
Vitamin D status is associated with several domains of intelligence in adolescents and is sex-specific. Development a specific domain of intelligence may indirectly affect vitamin D status among adolescents, but needs to be proven prospectively.
If you can’t eyeball the difference, I seriously doubt that genetic distance affects mate choice directly.
Maybe not mate choice because the modern world has created so many blocks and blind alleys to rational mate choice. But, as the study below found, outbreeding depression is real at surprisingly small geographic distances and thus presumably genetic distances (isolation by distance model).
Specifically at more than 40-50 miles of separation between birth places of the parents, genetic incompatibilities apparently reduce reproductive success.
A research team looked at the fertility of 22,298 Danish women born in 1954 and still living in their country in 1969. The cohort was followed up to the end of 1999. The data came from the Danish Central Personal Register, which covers almost all of Denmark’s residents.
The researchers compared each woman’s fertility with the distance between her home parish and her husband’s. Fertility peaked at around 75 km. The relationship between fertility and distance was not explained by education, family income, urbanicity or mother’s age at first birth. Again, the cause seemed to be parental relatedness. At longer distances between the wife’s parish and her husband’s, a steady decrease in inbreeding depression gave way to a steady increase in outbreeding depression

This article is basically bullshit. It is based on conjecture, and lacks any basis in fact.
Modern man has been walking this planet for more than 500K years, and the vast majority of the history of mankind is unknown as well as the history of the earth.
The vast differences in the races suggests that the dispersion of humans has been occurring for much longer than 60K years. The idea that evolution only happened in one location also lacks any evidence.
I do not believe that “the worse it gets, the more intelligent people get”
Obviously, when the environment gets TOO bad, nobody is even gonna live or reproduce in any large numbers. And when there is literally not enough food physically available, you can’t even grow a big brain.
I think the “optimal environment” for brain / intelligence development is an environment which gives the intelligent a large advantage, but does allow for a substansial number of people to survive, if they are even somewhat cabable and not plainly stupid.
For example, an environment which allows a couple to have 4-10 children, but eventually kills off the dumbest 50% of them, will probably lead to somewhat of a high IQ

Macau is a tourist destination. Tourism is its main 'industry'. The Adelson entity doing business in Macau is the Las Vegas Sands Enterprise, Sands China, now run by Robert Goldstein. Is 'under the table' skimming going on? Your guess is as good as mine. Are the Macau Triads working it like the Jewish Mob and Italian Mafia in Las Vegas? Not sure that would surprise anyone. Are government officials involved in corruption? The answer is clear, but that is not a strictly Chinese phenomenon.As a SAR, governmental control is going to be different, and somewhat removed from mainland administration. We should note that anti-corruption activities are a priority of the Xi regime (actually, going back forcefully to the prior Hu administration). I've always half-joked that it would be impossible for most Western politicians to be members of the Communist Party because they (i.e. Western politicians) are too corrupt. And there is a large truth to that, in many different ways.Generally, the presence of large spread corruption entails a government-organized crime co-op. Probably one of the largest in the China sphere, that is the sphere affecting China, are Myanmar quasi-official organized crime syndicates running telescams and and narcotics, with private armies and official governmental payoffs. The Chinese government is aggressively confronting that, but Chinese police have had a tough go of it because it's difficult to work through official Myanmar corruption. But that is another story altogether.Back on topic: foreign companies doing business in China works out to over a trillion USD in yearly revenue. The names are common household names in the West, and would probably surprise the uninitiated.
The fact remains that the Chinese do not normally allow foreign entrepreneurs to make so much money in their domain without grabbing more of it.

This seems not quite right. After all, who does Harvard need to impress? More likely, such hirings/appointments reflect the Left’s need to allow blacks to feel good about themselves. If there’s an essential difference between the NPR and UR types it’s the former’s penchant for empathy. They want to boost black amour-propre.

MLK was a proven plagiarist too. America should demand his day – jan 15 this year- be cancelled and replaced with an american that actually did something to help the country. Say thomas edison or henry ford. Maybe john browning or steve jobs.
I enjoyed reading your words. As a regular joe that grew up in the inner city of Cleveland Ohio at the very beginning of desegregation the baptism by fire that was the busing of black and White children in some cases more than 15 miles across town for reasons only the “scholars” of that era can explain, I can say this, watching how many of the black children acted at that time with authority figures was stunning. In the 7th grade I kid you not, I saw black males with beards in the same grade as me.
That being said, with Ms. Gay I’m sure it’s not much different than the reasons why prosecutors fall all over themselves figuring out how to charge these murdering, raping turds with manslaughter and simple assault instead of 1st or 2nd degree murder and rape.. I believe it’s as simple as just not wanting to come off as too harsh when it comes to our colored cousins due to the easy avenues they have today in getting retribution through the courts at the mere appearance of racist or bigoted behavior that could hold them back from advancement, that today has less to do with merit and far more about their demands. The fact that even though she caved and resigned they still let here keep that 900k a year salary that came with the title, if that isn’t and arrogant middle finger to the establishment, what is?
How could she be so stupid as to think that no one would ever notice such a blatant case of trying to cheat the system? Most of us make certain that we don’t even plagiarize ourselves from our previous publications.
How could her major professor be so stupid as to ignore all the misappropriation of scholarly work in her dissertation by her most significant competitors at other academic institutions, which would have been covered de rigor in her introductory chapters or sections? The major professor is expected to thoroughly read and edit the work before it was presented to her dissertation committee. His (or her) reputation is assumed to ride on the merits of whatever document the student produces under his (or her) tutelage.
How could her dissertation committee, which is assembled from tenured faculty in the student’s area of specialization, be so stupid, or so remiss, as not to read the tendered document and not to notice the blatant swaths of stolen words and stolen ideas? This particular committee, drawn from political science scholars employed at Harvard, is tasked not only with evaluating the worth of what this student purportedly produced, and whether it is worthy of conferring a doctorate degree upon this woman, is equally importantly charged with upholding the standards and reputation of the entire institution of higher education called Harvard University.
Along with presentation of their dissertation to the committee, the Ph.D. candidate also gives an hour long oral presentation of their purportedly “new” scholastic discoveries before an “open-to-the-public audience, followed by at least another hour defending any and all observations, interpretations and novel conclusions reported in the dissertation and its public oral presentation. If the candidate is a fraud this should be discernable at any of the three key stages to what should be a rigorous evaluation in i) reading the dissertation, ii} orally presenting the dissertation and iii) defending any new facts, interpretations and applications during the final oral exam step. It is rare, but possible to be denied the degree even upon completion of the very last step in one’s oral defense.
I hope for the sake of our civilization, which has become increasingly underpinned by the hard sciences and high technology, that our academic institutions have not appreciably diminished the rigor in their degree programs merely to accommodate the artificial production of increased numbers of black and female students assumed capable of being plugged into all the important high paying job openings currently being created by affirmative action and downright racial and gender discrimination against white males.
I retired from Academe in 2004. Twenty years of unrelenting black and female privilege since then may well have put us beyond the point of no return, in a system I personally saw degenerating over the preceding 40 or more years, though nowhere near as rapidly. I was one of the first to ignore the preference of my colleagues and opened the doors wide to Asian students in the 1980’s. They quickly took over most science departments, first as students, then as professors and now as administrators. They are incredibly different from blacks. They (mostly) deserve every reward which they achieve and are discriminated against as badly as white males. This assumes you believe that jobs should be filled on the basis of merit and capability rather than identity politics. Personally, I don’t think there is any other way. Not just Russia and China, but Iran and most other countries that the US foolishly chooses to consider enemies (and therefore inferior in every way) have proven to be quite the match for American science and technology.

You are probably correct, though Harvard will delay her forced departure for as many months as possible… and Gay’s exit will never be presented as anything other than voluntary.
Personally, I’d like to see Ms Gay stay on as the public face of Harvard University for many, many years. The Honorable and Reverend Board of Overseers deserve no less.

It’s obvious her professors didn’t read her work closely and/or didn’t know their fields the way they should and/or didn’t care and/or were just plain corrupt.
Well now, she didn’t write “Haitian Creole” either, even though both of her parents are Haitian immigrants.
I think they picked her because of her plagiarism for the same reason Jeffrey Epstein was collecting material. They wanted her to be their tool, but they wanted a weapon against her if she acted up.
The fact remains that the Chinese do not normally allow foreign entrepreneurs to make so much money in their domain without grabbing more of it.
Macau is a tourist destination. Tourism is its main ‘industry’. The Adelson entity doing business in Macau is the Las Vegas Sands Enterprise, Sands China, now run by Robert Goldstein. Is ‘under the table’ skimming going on? Your guess is as good as mine. Are the Macau Triads working it like the Jewish Mob and Italian Mafia in Las Vegas? Not sure that would surprise anyone. Are government officials involved in corruption? The answer is clear, but that is not a strictly Chinese phenomenon.
As a SAR, governmental control is going to be different, and somewhat removed from mainland administration. We should note that anti-corruption activities are a priority of the Xi regime (actually, going back forcefully to the prior Hu administration). I’ve always half-joked that it would be impossible for most Western politicians to be members of the Communist Party because they (i.e. Western politicians) are too corrupt. And there is a large truth to that, in many different ways.
Generally, the presence of large spread corruption entails a government-organized crime co-op. Probably one of the largest in the China sphere, that is the sphere affecting China, are Myanmar quasi-official organized crime syndicates running telescams and and narcotics, with private armies and official governmental payoffs. The Chinese government is aggressively confronting that, but Chinese police have had a tough go of it because it’s difficult to work through official Myanmar corruption. But that is another story altogether.
Back on topic: foreign companies doing business in China works out to over a trillion USD in yearly revenue. The names are common household names in the West, and would probably surprise the uninitiated.

So Brimelowspecifically repudiated the label White Nationalist -- what is the point of his immigration activism if not to keep America majority white, which is the essence of White Nationalism? -- instead of using the opportunity to make the case that there is nothing wrong, politically or morally, with White Nationalism, with wanting topreserve the demographic heritage of America as a majority white nation, Brimelow sued (and asked for donations to pay for it) -- that was the last straw for me with VDare.Replies: @Patrick Cleburne, @Wokechoke
According to court papers on file with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Brimelow contested the “white nationalist” designation and insisted he was, rather, a “civic nationalist.")
The two legitimate reasons for immigration control are
Protect citizens and other residents of a realm from immediate predator criminality from foreigners.
Keep the basic harmony of the existing race.
Other that that it is a somewhat pointless effort.
History is the migration of tribes.

Blacks look funny to me, especially when they’re appointed to be president of Harvard.
Her husband Christopher Afendulis, must be a gay or AC/DC and marrying a female that looks like his black male fantasy killed two birds with one stone. His parents could go to their graves knowing that he didn’t marry a man (like they dreaded) and he got to marry his dream black man (without the plumbing he desired). Some people make real sacrifices just to please their parents.
As to what job she’ll do next, Biden will appoint her to be the next American Ambassador to Upper Volta, Being appointed to Ouagadougou is considered to be one of the most prestigious appointments the State Department can give out.
Face it, Brimelow cucked when given anexplicit chance to stand up for Whites and white identity, for preserving a majority white America, whether it’s called White Nationalism or something else — in fact, as I pointed out above, he actuallyrepudiated white identity — it’s better to acknowledge the reasons people have become disenchanted with VDare, rather than react with vitriol.
Hard to see VDare as anything but a grift at this point.
Until White identitarianism is legitimised, no meaningful political opposition to the antiwhite system is possible. Therefore the only thing which matters in politics right now is legitimising White identitarianism – you’re either working towards that or you’re doing nothing.

eah: “… there’s an agenda, it’s being pushed …”
No agenda, just the logical working out of the white man’s Christian heritage.
Christianity has always been a revolutionary creed that demands constant renewal, raising up the weak and humbling the strong. Thus, the “good” works it demands become a feedback loop, because there’s never an end to the need to demonstrate one’s virtue. If more can be done, it must be! As Christian theologian and philosopher of technology Jacques Ellul put it so well in his magnificent book on propaganda:
Action makes propaganda’s effect irreversible. He who acts in obedience to propaganda can never go back. He is now obliged to believe in that propaganda because of his past action. He is obliged to receive from it his justification and authority, without which his action will seem to him absurd or unjust, which would be intolerable. He is obliged to continue to advance in the direction indicated by propaganda, for action demands more action.
This self-reinforcing mechanism explains a lot about the disproportionate presence of negroes in modern advertising. A Christian culture can never grovel enough before them.

China has a long history of bribing foreign officials: Adelsoncouldwell have been a conduit. See...
Adelson sold his US Conference business for $1B and invested the proceeds in Casinos. His Macao operations were the profit heart. His Singapore activities primarily catered to Mainland Chinese. He was intensely vulnerable to the Chinese Government.
Your reference to the John Derbyshire/Jacky Ma piecehttps://vdare.com/posts/power-versus-money-in-china (actually 2021, not 2001 as you said) proves you must have seen my discussion further up on Chinese bribery in my Adelson obituaryhttps://vdare.com/posts/and-so-farewell-to-sheldon-adelson-zionist-activist-immigration-enthusiast-but-only-for-u-s-chinese-asset
“I have recently read Michael Pillsbury’s seminal “The Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower.” This points out that, while for 2,000 years China had no experience of conducting foreign relationships except with minor states which it completely dominated, there was a phase in the distant past when something analogous to the European state system existed.
This was the Warring States Period (475–221 BC) when China itself broke up into competing units. After much struggle, one state conquered all the others.
A detailed literature exists discussing the stratagems employed. One of the favorite: bribing an opponent’s advisors.”
Insinuating that my only source on Chinese bribery was Gatestone’shttps://vdare.com/posts/gatestone-says-hundreds-of-u-s-politicians-purchased-how-can-mitch-mcconnell-not-be-one was therefore dishonest.
Besides, so what if Gatestone has an agenda? We all have agendas. A smear is not an argument.
For that matter, insinuating I implied anything about tax exemptions in Macao is equally groundless.

>Whites frequently overestimate the intellectual capabilities of Blacks
I’m sure that’s true — but I also wonder how much guilt inculcated in Whites about Blacks has to do with that? — I’ve found it easier to talk to Whites about thesuperiority of some Asian ethnic groups in having slightly higher average intelligence, e.g. in the context of the affirmative action suits and rulings, than it is to talk to them about theinferiority of Blacks, i.e. the reason Blacks have low SES is that they are significantly less intelligent than Whites, lack many behavioral characteristics needed for success in a first world technocratic society, and this is genetic and not the fault of white people — no matter how rational and careful you are, many Whites still get physically uncomfortable if you broach the subject.
Nice parody of “Bringing in the Sheaves” relevant to our times.
>her ‘work’ is junk academic nonsense
Due in part to that, the plagiarism accusations against her were probably taken less seriously — who really cares if a junk academic plagiarized some subjective text from another junk academic? — her ‘work’ has no concrete value, its correctness cannot be measured, and the standards for what is scholarly enough to justify a PhD are very loose — so it was no surprise she was largely cleared, i.e. it appears the allegations did not come close to jeopardizing her job, and the statement by Harvard about its investigation said she‘omitted’ attributions, as if it was inadvertent, a little oops.
But regarding that:
MLK, like Claudine Gray, got a pass for plagiarism, but Alex Haley is the best example of plagiarism black privilege. Even after admitting he plagiarized parts of Roots, Haley was held in high regard.Roots was too successful in instilling white guilt for Haley to be sacrificed
Again, these Blacks placed in prominent positionshave too much value for the Establishment — rubbing the noses of white people in the double standard is a bonus.
I’m surprised that no one has yet mentioned in this connection that other revered plagiarist and lubricious (in both senses) orator, the GNAT (Greatest Negro of All Time) himself, the Reverend Dr. “Martin Luther” King. He even plagiarized his very name! But that hasn’t stopped the nation from bowing its head in respect every time that name is invoked, or installing a memorial statue to him more than fifty percent taller than the one to Jefferson.
The Christian God, the soul, human rights, and the equality of all men are all imaginary entities the existence of which is boldly assumed. What else then can we expect from a nation founded on such fairy tales than that one of these simians would eventually be made president of its most prestigious university? For a people so willing to accept comforting lies in place of truth, it comes easy. A talented tenth can seem almost human.

And actually, I don’t need Rushton, or anyone else, to tell me what’s going on — I’ve explained it a number of times incomments here:generally, the Establishment puts Blacks in prominent positions, and the media promotes black victimhood, in particular black male vicitmhood, in an effort to disguise and hide the gross extent of black dysfunction, including and especially their criminality, but also their low intelligence as shown by theirextremely poor academic performance (resulting in low average SES), and ultimately distract decent white people fromthe terrible consequences of all that for white society, while at the same time scapegoating Whites for these problems.

But if you want to knowspecifically about Claudine Gay, why she is president of Harvard University, it appears it’s because Penny Pritzker, nowthe Senior Fellow of the Harvard Corporation, and a member of the Jewish billionaire Pritzker family,wanted Gay in that job.

Is your argument that Claudine Gay is qualified to be the president of Harvard because she fits the criteria of being non-white and female?Replies: @eah
it does seem safe to say that race (not white) and sex (female) were among the fixed criteria — this is where the problem with Gay lies, i.e. not with her being ‘unqualified.’
What do you imagine a university president does all day? — what do you think is involved in the day-to-day ‘running of a prestigious, private institution’? — it’s not like she has to prepare coherent lectures to convey demanding material to highly intelligent students, like e.g. math and physics teaching faculty do.
There’s a reason I also referred to it as aposition: a university president is also a figurehead — in that sense, obviously Harvard could have chosen someone intellectually superior to, and more academically accomplished than, Claudine Gay — someone with considerably moreprestige — but then the two likely fixed criteria (race and sex) made that alot more difficult.
Let me put it to you this way: I have no reason to believe Gay is unqualified for thejob of being president of Harvard — I have good reason to believe there are a great many candidates who would have been a better fit for theposition — personable academics with more prestige, with superior intellects and records of scholarly accomplishment, and with some administrative experience (likely also a criterion).
Your IQ is 91, andyou look funny.
As long as she is black then that’s all that matters.
Do you have these kinds of qualifications?
She then attended Princeton University for one year,[14][15][16] before transferring to Stanford University, where she studied economics. She received the Anna Laura Myers Prize for best undergraduate thesis in economics and graduated in 1992.[11] Gay earned her Ph.D. in 1998 from Harvard University, where she won the university’s Toppan Prize for the best dissertation in political science

How Could Harvard Have Chosen A Dud Like President/Plagiarist Claudine Gay?
The majority of American voters chose a President/plagiarist to represent the highest office in the land, so what.
He won over a guy who rarely uses a 3-syllable word, but still…
Do you consider biracial children of Black mothers as threats to white hegemony?
Being qualified for public office is not the same thing as running a prestigious, private institution. Democracy, in theory, should allow the voters to determine if a candidate is qualified, notwithstanding activist judges in Colorado. A recent egregious example of questionable qualifications occurred when Dianne Feinstein finally died, and the governor of California declared that he would fill her senate seat with a black woman, yet he selected someone who lived out-of-state. One might think that living in California is the basic requirement for a senator representing California.
Being the president of a university is different. These people receive authority due to their position, but the role is widely regarded to be a glorified money-raiser. The key qualification should be to not unnecessarily alienate the university’s donors. There is also an established precedent that a university president has earned some academic credentials. Harvard being a top school, it would follow that its president has top credentials.
While Gay has a PhD, she has been accused of plagiarizing parts of her doctoral thesis, along with other academic papers she has published. Someone in this comment thread (#31) has stated that she doesn’t even claim to know a foreign language, which is a prerequisite for a PhD in the social sciences.
Her role in this position is a departure from established procedure. You seem to admit this when you say:
it does seem safe to say that race (not white) and sex (female) were among the fixed criteria — this is where the problem with Gay lies, i.e. not with her being ‘unqualified.’

>unqualified diversity hire
Some years ago I heard Bill Maher say ‘There’s no such thing as being qualified to hold public office — Mary Bono is in Congress because her husband skied into a tree.’
Similarly, there’s no such thing as not being qualified to be a university president — probably any reasonably intelligent, erudite, outgoing and congenial person (fundraising is usually an important task) could do the job (whether one person or another would be better for theposition is a different question) — perhaps experience in academia would help.
One can question her intellect and the quality of her scholarship, or ask if there were ‘better’ candidates, albeit with the criteria being largely subjective, it’s not clear what exact qualities would make another candidate ‘better’ — but it does seem safe to say that race (not white) and sex (female) were among the fixed criteria —this is where the problem with Gay lies, i.e. not with her being ‘unqualified.’
But even when they have a chance to oppose this kind of thing, faux conservatives in America do nothing — here I am thinking of the Supreme Court nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, where Biden publicly announced beforehand he would select a black woman — this should have caused every fair-minded member of the Senate, especially among Republicans, to say they would boycott and oppose her nominationon principle — but that didn’t happen.

The fact English is so widely taught and spoken as a second language around the world hinders development of language competence in the US — it’s a kind of linguistic chauvinism — so it doesn’t really surprise me.
I think it’s more important to note that her ‘work’ is junk academic nonsense — I’ve made several comments about this recently (some of them), and I don’t think people appreciate the seriousness and extent of the problem — some of the data is fairly startling: e.g. in the not too distant future, women will be 60% of college grads (this will further depress marriage and fertility rates as many of these women fail to find suitable husbands), and whereas in 1970 men outnumbered women in law school10:1,today there are 25% more women (the potential damage female norms will do to the legal profession and the courts is significant).
Due to ‘women’s liberation’ or whatever, literally millions of midwit women have flooded into higher education over the last decades — very few of these women choose to study engineering or the natural sciences — they predominantly choose ‘soft’ majors, resulting in a huge expansion of junk academia to accommodate them — later some of them get jobs in administration — all of this is a big reason universities are so ultra-liberal today.

She wrote an article about race relations in Brazil, but her CV does not list Portuguese as one of her languages. For me, that’s almost as bad as the plagiarism. Did she even visit the country?
Actually, her CV doesn’t listany foreign languages. That’s pretty strange. Usually, people will list a language they took as an undergraduate, even though they are far from being fluent. They will say something like “some knowledge of French” or whatever language they took back then. Not to list anything is to acknowledge that one never took a class in a foreign language, and one expects better from a cosmopolitan place like Harvard.
Hit Troll button here by accident.
VDARE’s John Derbyshire committed the execrable sin of labelling the essential Kevin MacDonald as “the Marx of the anti-semites”, and to my knowledge has never retracted nor modified that philo-semitic faux pas.
This is demoralizing to the American people.
There is no ‘American People’ anymore. Don’t think like that. There’s just a mish-mash of competing interests grounded in demands stemming from a person’s actual sex, their perceived sex, their various sexual perversions, along with race, plus an admixture of variant ethnicities thrown in to the mix. To think that many of these folks are demoralized by Negro Boss Woman is not true. In fact, many are no doubt uplifted by her example.
I think one of the problems encountered among folks on the more ‘trad’ side of the fence is that they still think in terms that have no meaning in reality, anymore. You find it common among Vdare types pining for something they call the ‘Historic American Nation’. I mean, I get nostalgia and all that, but there comes a time in an adult’s life when they have to look around and come to grips with what has happened, and what is continuing to happen.
For anyone thinking in these now dysfunctional ways, using now meaningless terms that don’t describe anything extant, I know it’s a tough thing to confront… finding Angry Negro Woman heading Harvard and then wondering how that could ever be? But the issue was really decided in 1865, and by the time of the Great Society it was all but over.
So there is no benefit continuing to suppose that what we see at Harvard is something abnormal. In fact, it is now the norm. Look at any large entity doing business in Globohomo and it’s the same. And in any case, to suppose that Harvard is or ever could be the Harvard of Puritan John is to engage in magical thinking. Although it is kind of funny in an ironic way to think how the institution has been mostly taken over by the Jews he wanted to convert to his brand of Christianity. He’s lucky his statue is still on campus, and hasn’t been replaced by Saint Floyd of Fentanyl.
As far as demoralization? Like I said, it’s tough to face reality. But the mark of a well grounded psyche is to take what is the case, and then adapt. At this late stage, the only possible adaptation will be at the personal or individual level. Possibly at the family level–but that is not even assured anymore. The machine will not tolerate an open organization. Vdare is an example of that. Hell, Trump can’t even get on the ballot in Colorado, and he’s the ex-President. So ‘working within the system’ is not a realistic option.
In any case, don’t be demoralized over Negro Woman, or any of the other stuff. Once it all completely falls apart then those remaining can organize and make of it what they will. That day is most likely a ways off, but one can never predict the course of events with certainty. So in the meantime, try and take care of your family if you have one. Just remember when doing that, your castle might not be your home anymore. So adjust accordingly.
Oh, stupid me. Since I only know of VDare through Unz I could’ve sworn VDare was that publication who had those writers here at Unz who never, ever, address the JQ, e.g., Derbyshire, Jared Taylor, Steve Sailer, et al. But I must be thinking of another webzine.Replies: @eah
I have nothing but contempt for those who sound off without being properly informed.
About ‘never, ever, address the JQ’, Jared Taylor specifically answers this, or comments on this accusation, during his recent appearance onMilleniyule, which you canwatch here — as I recall, it occurs later in the stream, as part of the superchats — he’s aware of the controversy — you might be interested to hear what he has to say — what I notice is that those who criticize Taylor for not talking about Jews seem to be wise to the JQ themselves, so they obviously got the word somehow — I like Taylor, and value his contributions to white identity and race realism — so I don’t resent him for not talking about Jews — there are many others who do that.
As for having ‘nothing in common with and have nothing but contempt for VDare, Jared Taylor, and the rest of the WN Zionists and philo-Semites’, regarding VDare I am generally sympathetic, but not because I see VDare as ‘philo-Semitic’ — you use ‘WN’, which I assume means White Nationalist — actually, a few years ago Brimelow sued the NYT for calling him a White Nationalist (he lost):
According to court papers on file with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Brimelow contested the “white nationalist” designation and insisted he was, rather, a “civic nationalist.”)
So Brimelowspecifically repudiated the label White Nationalist — what is the point of his immigration activism if not to keep America majority white, which is the essence of White Nationalism? — instead of using the opportunity to make the case that there is nothing wrong, politically or morally, with White Nationalism, with wanting topreserve the demographic heritage of America as a majority white nation, Brimelow sued (and asked for donations to pay for it) — that was the last straw for me with VDare.
What? She has gigantic Great Big Negro Genius Glasses.
Who needs something stoopid, like a credible CV?
{How Could Harvard Have Chosen A Dud Like President/Plagiarist Claudine Gay?}
Where have you been?
The presidents of the major institutions, including US presidency, are INSTALLED by the Jewish MONEY. Ackman, a zionist Donor, exposed the fact that Gay was installed to the job by Jewish money for the Jewish interest, but since Gay did not prevent students protest against Israel, then she should go. If the students were protesting on behalf of Israel, then EVERYTHING would have been good, but the students made a mistake supporting Palestinian people, like when the Palestinian people elected HAMAS as their leader in a free election 2006, then Israel/US, the enemy of humanity, did not accept it and they placed Hamas on ‘terrorist’ list.
The Jewish donor, Ackman, posting on social media content that implies Gay, who is the first Black woman to lead Harvard, was hired to fulfill diversity metrics.
So, Ackman, exposed the reason behind Gay’s hiring, ‘to fulfill diversity’. She was not hired due to her excellent academic and leadership background, but to fulfill diversity, to help the interest of the Jews and Israel against the interest of the Americans students and America.
How do you feel when the world population view Harvard president and US president NOT sovereign enough to be TRUSTED? How do you think about the beneficiary country, Israel, equipped with NUCLEAR WEAPONS who has not signed the NPT, yet is ordering other states, especially the regional countries, not to go nuclear, so Israel to keep the status quo to have a higher hands to bomb or assassinate at will where the US presidents have supported their dog for decades, because Israel is the extension of imperialism in the region. The evil British empire designed and implemented “Israel Project’ to have a foot in the region followed by the support of the evil American Empire for the zionist entity.
The countries in the West Asia must equip themselves with nuclear weapons against Israel, and the clowns in Washington should shut up and support others to have security against your dog, Israel.
QCIC….
You have touched on something that I have believed for quite some time…for I firmly believe one of the strong motivations of Leftists in power is the opportunity to poke the eye… give the middle finger to all who are their adversaries. It goes far beyond just winning the political day.
They are hateful, vengeful people.
Yale undergrad followed by HBS. No law school, although he considered U. of Texas Law.

Bush went to law school elsewhere and Yale, before being dragged through Harvard.
JFK every Leftists favorite Martyr. hmmmm
As far as academic credentials? No one expects a black woman to have those. So who can ever be surprised over it?
I think that's probably the key. In the racial spoils hierarchy a black woman at Harvard trumps a white women at Penn.
The president of Harvard, the once-great American institution, is an unqualified diversity hire. This is demoralizing to the American people. Moreover, plagiarism destroys careers and is taken incredibly seriously at her level, yet Claudine Gay gets a free pass. It is a slap in the face to anyone who had to work hard to get to where they are

I think she’s a great representation of Harvard’s success! Just like Joe Biden is a great representation of the country! Most of those protesters will probably be in Congress someday still carrying a flag for Palestine.

Maybe if we hurry and change the flag, some of them may carry it.

Another crucial point that Professor Rushton made is that when white people hear that black IQ is on the average around 70, they think that that cannot be right since people with an IQ of 70look funny, and blacks don’t generally look funny. But once again they are using the norms of their own race, and indeed a white man with an IQ of 70 or lower may indeed have a characteristic look about him, he might indeed have other physical disabilities or disfigurements, because it is not normal for a white man to have such a low IQ, it is pathological. Blacks with an IQ of 70, OTOH, are not pathological, they are normal, healthy blacks, andlook normal.
