    • Finns have the highest IQ in Europe but the smallest SD.

    • Finns have high Conscientiousness and Agreeableness.

    • This explains why they do well in education, but not in measures of significant creative achievement.

    the male/female difference in IQ generally reflects differences in brain size. men are bigger. The differences outside of IQ that matter are interest, on the one hand and verbal vs abstract on the other. we evolved in a division of labor to specialize. It’s not complicated. It is better to think of specialization than superiority and inferiority.

    The same that always have. The same that do today: assortative mating. What is not occurring is families in lower classes.

  • DO WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT RACISM? That it’s natural. That all hum

    https://www.quora.com/What-do-white-people-need-to-understand-about-racism/answer/Curt-Doolittle?srid=u4Qv&share=978392a0WHAT DO WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT RACISM?

    That it’s natural. That all human groups act in the interests of their kin. That people vote racially. They work in racial groups. They live in racial groups. They mate and marry in racial groups. They speak in racial groups.

    All racial groups convey status because some groups are more desirable than others. That all those capable of escaping the lower classes of their racial groups rationally want to join in white culture so that they can have a better life, and that as such they want to limit racial discrimination. And that white middle and lower classes want to preserve their privileges by preserving the status of their elites from competition.

    That race, religion, culture, tribe, gender are a part of life because they are meaningful differences because people act to their advantage at all times, and race, religion, culture, tribe and gender convey different advantages.

    It is in the market for good and services that we are all equal. We all benefit from our participation in the market.

    In the commons we are not equal in our needs. Each group needs different commons to assist them in their evolution.

    In all walks of life we are not equal in our value to one another. It is our elites for whom groups are not an advantage.

    That the problem we call racism arises from monopoly democracy which forces equal terms upon all people instead of the terms that each needs to achieve its best advantage. It is the government and democracy that create evil out of race, creed, and class.

    NO MORE LIES.

    The century of pseudoscience and lying is over.

    Kant, Boaz, Freud, Marx, Cantor, Mises, Frankfurt School, Rothbard, and the Postmoderns are just liars and pseudoscientists creating mythology of secular christianity that is the literary equivalent of science fiction and fantasy that provide the myth of pagan aristocracy.

    It’s not complicated. Silly people in the ancient world believed in holy books. Silly people in the modern world believe in pseudoscientific books. But they’re both nonsense. Both lies.

    The difference is that pagans and aristocracy know that science fiction and fantasy are just literature. The secular christians thought that mysticism was real. They think pseudoscience is real. They love propaganda. They love political correctness. They police speech that exposes their lies.

    The fact that women are and the underclasses are vectors for mysticism and pseudoscience, and men and the middle classes are vectors for commerce, technology, and warfare shouldn’t be surprising.

    Women and slaves spread the lies of mysticism in the ancient world. Women and the ‘slaves’ or underclasses spread the lies of pseudoscience in the modern world.

    There is nothing even the least bit difficult to understand.

    Wishful thinking is fertile ground for lies.

    Lies are lies no matter how well you wrap them in story.

    Stories are the perfect method for telling lies.

    Why? Women invented gossip: stories. Men invented history.

    “THE EVIL 80s”

    Can we start the meme “Evil 80’s” to refer to the impulsive, frustrated, violent, criminal demographic of every population? The “Evil 70s” are like minions that follow the opportunity-leadership of the 80s just like the 110s follow the opportunity-leadership of the 130s. But the data is in. That unless you have an IQ over 105 you should not be permitted to immigrate into civilized lands, and if you are below 90 you should not and must not be permitted to reproduce and spread your genetic damage to the community.

    The Evil 80’s must be removed from society. The sub 105s must not be permitted into society. In fact, it would be better to say sub 110s. Language adoption must be required within 24 months. All repatriation treaties must be null and void. Even if that means replacing the government so that all must be newly negotiated.

    In the series Rome. Titus Pullo adores this quiet girl he rescues. He deeply loved her. When she confesses her love for another he kills him – immediately and brutally. It is only comprehensible if you have ever loved a woman so much that nothing else matters.

    Unrequited love us the most painful feeling I know of.

    If I ask you to try to make one fully Propertarian argument that reduces your explanation of behavior to acquisitions costs and discounts you might think it is hard. But if you do one a day for three months then you will be able to do it forever.

    What are they trying to acquire ?

    How are they trying to get a discount?

    Why are they avoiding an exchange instead of engaging in Fraud?

    What would our team trade them in exchange for what they want?

    Answer these four questions.

    That is all there is to it.
