    THE EUGENICS AND DYSGENICS OF OUR RULING CLASS

    “The church conducted this program of outbreeding in order to capture more inheritance revenue for itself. It was not a socially beneficent policy. It was entirely self serving. And I wold argue that the state is conducting a program of integration and multiculturalism in order to do the same: create power and wealth for members of the state, at the expense of the non-state, coming english people.”

    THE SOURCE OF PROGRESSIVE HUBRIS

    “The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion.” — Friedrich August von Hayek

    THE LEFT IS A FUNDAMENTALLY CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION

    “…when we consider guerrilla warfare … either of the classic Maoist rural form, or the newer urban-guerrilla (“terrorist”) approach, or simply the strategy of building ominous and threatening paramilitary militias. These strategies work for leftist revolutionaries because they are essentially criminal in nature, and leftism – whose Yeatsian passionate energy is inseparable from its capacity for pure plunder – is fundamentally a criminal movement.” — Moldbug

    STEPHEN J GOULD WAS WRONG: EVOLUTION INCREASED DRAMATICALLY IN THE PAST 50,000 YEARS

    “Can the human genome respond to new selection pressures in, say, thirty generations (six hundred years)? Or would it take more than five hundred generations (ten thousand years) for a new selection pressure to produce any genetic adaptation?

    The actual speed of genetic evolution is a question that can be answered with data, and thanks to the Human Genome Project, we now have that data. Several teams have sequenced the genomes of thousands of people from every continent. Genes mutate and drift through populations, but it is possible to distinguish such random drift from cases in which genes are being “pulled” by natural selection.

    The results are astonishing, and they are exactly the opposite of Gould’s claim: genetic evolution greatly accelerated during the last 50,000 years. The rate at which genes changed in response to selection pressures began rising around 40,000 years ago, and the curve got steeper and steeper after 20,000 years ago. Genetic change reached a crescendo during the Holocene era, in Africa as well as in Eurasia.” — The Righteous Mind – Haidt, Jonathan

    “Conservatives are stalwarts. Liberals are lemmings. Libertarians are rationalists attempting to defeat the dark forces of time, ignorance and instinct by advocating the ethic of exchange, rather than a mandate for conformity – whether that conformity be to fashion or tradition.”
