    AESTHETICS AND EUGENICS

    by Daniel Gurpide

    In 1920, Knight Dunlap, President of the American Psychological Association, published “Personal Beauty and Racial Betterment. “

    Dunlap’s thesis is that what is called personal beauty really inspires the emotional appreciation of the many qualities that make an individual a fit and healthy parent for a fit and healthy next generation of one’s race.

    Beauty is a measure of racial fitness for the future. Men and women long for it in their mates, even if they do not understand the nature or significance of that longing. The desire for a beautiful mate is an ineradicable, primordial urge. It is an instinctive part of us. It guides us on our recently interrupted upward journey to higher intelligence, greater strength and power—and increased consciousness and wisdom.

    Dunlap asserts that the preservation of beauty is inseparable from the preservation of all civilised values and progress. To lose one is to lose the other. Further, Dunlap warns that our civilisation is fostering increased human ugliness and a withering of human beauty so drastic that only radical and strenuous change may suffice to reverse the process.

    What is personal beauty? Dunlap says that it varies distinctly from race to race, ‘but the type which is highest in value tends to approximate the European type, wherever the European type becomes known.’

    What is personal beauty for Europeans? There are a great many markers of beauty applying to both sexes. In some cases, these are also marks of an ‘advanced’ race, from a phylogenetic point of view: characteristics which signify the greatest possible difference from more primitive forms.

    Considering the profile of the face, one may note the facial angle: the angle, relative to the horizon when a man is standing normally, of a line drawn from the greatest protuberance of the jaw to the most prominent part of the forehead. The average facial angle of the European race is the closest to vertical of any human race. Non-human creatures have lower and lower facial angles as we make our way from the more advanced to the more primitive. Less advanced and smaller-brained creatures (and races) have a lower, more sloping forehead (and hence less capacity in the frontal regions of the brain). More primitive creatures and races also tend to have larger teeth, and larger jaws which jut forward, hence making the facial angle ever closer to the horizontal.

    A man or woman with a high or ‘noble’ forehead is better looking to us than one with a steeply sloping forehead. The latter we instinctively view as primitive and ugly, whether we use those words or not. The protruding jaw or the underdeveloped chin and outsized nose give—to European eyes—the human profile a convex and snout-like appearance. Hence, they are bars to beauty, as Europeans perceive it. We may not be conscious of the reason, but our instincts are telling us that the highly evolved is beautiful and the primitive looking is not.

    The cast of expression of the human face may be the most important single factor in personal beauty. Even in classical sculpture, where the ideal of European beauty is literally carved in stone, and the entire nude form is revealed, it is still the sublimely high and spiritual expression of the face which arrests our attention more than any other single quality.

    The face is the site of the most complex muscle structure anywhere in the body—with a complex nerve structure to match—hence giving our faces an extremely wide and subtle variation of expression. With the dependence of these many muscles on the structure, health, and current state of the nerves, it is unsurprising that much may be learned of the temperament, state of health, and intelligence of a man or woman by studying his or her face. The face and, to a lesser extent, the other parts of the body, offer a constant and multifaceted reflection of the brain and nervous system within.

    Clearly, we find our instinctive ideals of beauty—not only as expressed in our sexual selection, but also in our art when uncorrupted and free—in these respects far outstrip reality. Very few embody all such ideals anywhere close to perfection. However, they are our ideals, and insofar as these ideals are favoured in our selection of who will be the mothers and fathers of generations to come, they will indeed offer a glimpse of unborn generations: a glimpse of what will be; a glimpse of the future.

    DEFINING POSTMODERNISM

    Postmodernism evolved in response to the failure of marxism socialism – a dogma which was pseudoscientific, and evidentially failed. Having to abandon pseudoscience, Postmodernism attacks reason directly stating that there is no truth and argument – only power. So in effect all debate is meaningless and the only objective is power by any possible means.

    Postmodernism = Relativism = Anti-science, Anti-reason, Anti-truth. Since truth, reason, science, and evidence falsify the marxist-socialist-feminist theology, then postmodernists abandoned all evidence, science, reason, and truth, and pursue power by any means, which includes their obsession with promoting falsehoods in pursuit of power, with which to impose monopoly authority and economic tyranny (forcible redistribution), thereby repeating the jewish > christian > islamic destruction of the ancient world (reason), with jewish > christian > muslim destruction of the modern world (science).

    DEFINITION

    —“A general and wide-ranging term which is applied to literature, art, philosophy, architecture, fiction, and cultural and literary criticism, political criticism, propaganda, among others. Postmodernism is largely a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective, efforts to explain reality. In essence, it stems from a recognition that reality is not simply mirrored in human understanding of it, but rather, is constructed as the mind tries to understand its own particular and personal reality.

    For this reason, postmodernism is highly skeptical of explanations which claim to be valid for all groups, cultures, traditions, or races, and instead focuses on the relative truths of each person. In the postmodern understanding, interpretation is everything; reality only comes into being through our interpretations of what the world means to us individually. Postmodernism relies on concrete experience over abstract principles, knowing always that the outcome of one’s own experience will necessarily be fallible and relative, rather than certain and universal.

    Postmodernism is “post” because it is denies the existence of any ultimate principles, and it lacks the optimism of there being a scientific, philosophical, or religious truth which will explain everything for everybody – a characteristic of the so-called “modern” mind. The paradox of the postmodern position is that, in placing all principles under the scrutiny of its skepticism, it must realize that even its own principles are not beyond questioning. “—

    Netanyahu: Hitler Didn’t Want to Exterminate the Jews

    Prime minister tells World Zionist Congress that Hitler only wanted to expel the Jews, but Jerusalem’s Grand Mufti convinced him to exterminate them, a claim that was rejected by most accepted Holocaust scholars.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked public uproar when on Tuesday he claimed that the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was the one who planted the idea of the extermination of European Jewry in Adolf Hitler’s mind. The Nazi ruler, Netanyahu said, had no intention of killing the Jews, but only to expel them.

    In a speech before the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem, Netanyahu described a meeting between Husseini and Hitler in November, 1941: “Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jew. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here (to Palestine).’ According to Netanyahu, Hitler then asked: “What should I do with them?” and the mufti replied: “Burn them.”

    Netanyahu’s remarks were quick to spark a social media storm, though Netanyahu made a similar claim during a Knesset speech in 2012, where he described the Husseini as “one of the leading architects” of the final solution.

    AESTHETICS AND POST-MODERNISM

    by Daniel Gurpide

    Multiculturalism also leads directly to the death of beauty in art. Different cultures have vastly different ideas of beauty. Michelangelo did not produce African masks. Chopin did not write rap or beat on hollow logs. John William Waterhouse and Jackson Pollock inhabited very different inner worlds. In a multicultural society, standards and traditions are abandoned. European standards are necessarily too ‘Eurocentric’; no group may impose its standards on any other—nor even maintain its own traditions for long. In painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, and the decorative arts, there is no longer a ‘centre.’ The continuity of thousands of years is broken. There is chaos.

    The real danger of art for egalitarians is that it offers ideals and models, and those ideals—in classical European art—are not egalitarian ideals, nor are the models politically correct. If you are trying to prepare students to be rootless, cosmopolitan citizens of the New World Order, you certainly do not want them to come into contact with the undemocratic spirit of Homer or Shakespeare.

    From it all, a bland, offensive-to-no-one, make-it-as-cheaply-as-possible artistic ethos invades our lives from every side, coupled with an avant-garde which revels in the equally empty perverse. Again, as we begin to live in a society of ugly people, wherever we look we see ugly paintings, ugly advertisements, ugly clothing, ugly body deformations and decorations, and ugly buildings. A people disconnected from its own traditions of beauty—a people inundated with the bland and ugly, mingled with the weird and trendy and ugly—is sickened and greatly weakened.

    —“CURT: PLEASE RESOLVE THIS DISPUTE. DOES CHILI HAVE BEANS?”—

    (humor)

    Um. I will debase myself for my fellow males and answer this question: a chili is determined by the use of chili powder. Chili with Meat in sauce refers to a stew. The stew is often colloquially shortened to “chili”. Chili with Meat stew can be extended most commonly with tomatoes, with beans, with rice, and less commonly with pasta. The origin of the term, is a ‘trail food’ where suet (beef fat), chili powder and ground beef, and salt would be combined then formed into bricks and dried. The bricks could be then stored easily when traveling and reconstituted with water and heat and whatever was available mixed in. Neither beans nor tomatoes are original, and pasta (as far as I know) is a stretch (Cincinnati) referring to Spaghetti Bolognese that includes chili powder. The standing argument is that tomato sauce, tomatoes, and/or beans are necessary for the americanized version which was developed in Texas in the early portion of the 20th century. Ergo, Mexican chili refers only to the original brick form, and (much like Chinese food served in America) the 20th century American invention includes beans and or tomatoes, and or rice. So colloquial term ‘chili’ refers to a category, and unless Mexican, American, or Cincinnati, or some other name is included is simply due to the speaker’s custom (intention).

    CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN MALE CONFLICT

    The duel for honor vs sniping for harm. We have see from thousands of video examples, that black culture habituates and promote ‘sniping’ (sucker punching), ganging-up, beating-while-down, and worse, beating while unconscious. This is antithetical to white culture, that has habituated the duel for thousands of years. In the white history of the duel, two men (and women for that matter) may settle disputes with judicial sanction as long as they are equally equipped, no others interfere, and no ‘advantage taken’ when a man is down. However, if any of these rules is violated, the seconds (insurers of each party) may kill in the present or future those who violate it. This means all men are sovereign. But this is antithetical to peoples outside of the indo european tradition of judicial duels between sovereigns.
