    As if we needed more evidence. The only people on earth who speak truth before face. And the entire left’s program is meant to undermine it – as is nearly every woman in the west :(. ) It’s a paper by Kirkegaard with his usually zeal.

    –“Research shows that honesty correlates positively with intelligence. Similarly, there are racial differences in honesty, with Europeans being more honest than various other ethnic groups. It is currently unknown to what degree race differences in intelligence can explain the differences in honesty. …

    We replicate prior findings that honesty correlated with measures of intelligence (r = .38, 95% CI [.34, .41]) and that Blacks (d = -0.67, 95% CI [-.76, -.59]) and Hispanics (d = -0.4, 95% CI [-.50, -.31]) are less honest than Whites, and this holds whether honesty is measured by self-reports, interviewer-reports or by parent-reports.

    In addition, race differences in honesty remained between Blacks and Whites but not between Whites and Hispanics after controlling for intelligence. Differences between Blacks and Whites but not Whites and Hispanics were noticeably lower in self-reports (Blacks: d = -0.18 [-0.24, -0.11], Hispanics: d = -0.24 [-0.31, -0.17]) than parent-reports (Blacks: d = -0.43 [-0.52, -0.35], Hispanics: -0.24 [-0.33, -0.15]) and interviewer-reports (Blacks: d = -0.7 [-0.75, -0.64], Hispanics: -0.3 [-0.36, -0.25]).

    Cross-national comparisons were made using national IQ data and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. Bayesian model averaging suggests that Hofstede’s individualism dimension (β = .64, PIP = 100%), national IQs (β = .25, PIP = 73.6%), and masculinity (β = -.35, PIP = 100%) predict differences in honesty between countries.

    (CD: Meaning? Collectivism breeds dishonesty.)

    Parking violations per diplomat were only predicted by national IQs (r = -0.28, p < .001), given that no other variable reached a posterior inclusion probability above 0% besides national IQs. Implications and theories concerning these findings are discussed.”–

    (CD: I’m going to fetch that data on parking violations per diplomat and add it to my Countries table of data.)

  • Abrahamic Cults (occult) Are A Populist Veneer Over European Institutions (real)

    Abrahamic Cults (occult) Are A Populist Veneer Over European Institutions (real)
    Our civilization is culturally european, and yes there is some inclusion of the abrahamic METHOD – because it is cheap and easy mythology for children, women, and the lower classes vs the costly learning of the discipline of greco roman philosophy (stoicism, epicureanism), but since “There is nothing good in christianity that was not present in greco roman germanic thought, but there is a great deal that is bad in christianity that is not present in greco-roman-germanic thought” the abrahamic method simply increased the scope of the population that could be domesticated into responsibility for the commons at the cost of dumbing down the population rather than elevating them with reason.
    Otherwise, abrahamism teaches superstition lying and ignorance and infantilization, to make willing subjects, that was finally defeated by the reintroduction of classical thought and the restoration of trade around the germanic core of the atlantic and north and baltic seas.
    That does not mean that christian teaching doesn’t produce the optimum citizen for a highh trust polity – at least in the lower two thirds of the population. But it does mean that abrahamism teaches the falsehood, magical thinking, fictionalization, manipulation, and the art of lying natural to women at industrial scale.

    History of Masculine European vs Feminine Semitic
    1) The abrahamic religions were a revolt against indo european (european-persian) superiority in culture and civilization and technology.
    2) The jewish restoration of the torah was a counter revolution against the greco roman law.
    3) Christianity was a revolt by the primitives of the levant against greco roman reason culture civilization, that left them a decadent impoverished underclass that could not compete.
    4) The Jewish Reformation of Rabbinical Judaism was an attempt to imitate the greco roman schools.
    5) The (byzantine imposition) of christianity by force upon rome was two fold: to turn the aggressive western peasantry into docile levantine serfs; to create a state within a state that would undermine the roman aristocratic government (or what remained of it); and to replace the aristocratic culture with the submissive culture of the east, thus bringing germanic-italic european rome under slavic-syrian rule.
    6) The muslim rejection of christianity and creation of islam as a heresy was a counter revolution against the byzantine conversion of tolerant christianity into eastern roman law so that it was no longer tolerable (adaptable) by the primitive arabs and their neighbors.
    7) Mendelssohn’s reforms were a counter-reaction to the success of anglo common law, french utopian continental law, and german philosophy.
    8) Marx’s new secular theology was reform of jewish feminine communal abrahamic thought in reaction to scientific, economic, and institutional thought.
    9) The rest of the jewish marxist-sequence through the woke is another attempt at creating a feminine submissive rebellion under a feminine authoritarianism against the european escape from it over the past millennium.

    No more semitic feminine dark ages please.

    The semitic vs european competition has always been the superior masculine heroic against the inferior feminine semitic submissive – or what others have called ‘the master vs slave morality’, which is, at its source, the masculine eugenic against the feminine dysgenic.

    No more dark ages.
    We must not let our tolerance of the feminine and it’s pretense of innocence and non aggression creat another horror. This time of pseudoscience and sophistry instead of supernaturalism and sophistry.

    Cheers.

  • Not quite true. Western civ was founded on ancient pre-Christian European values

    Not quite true. Western civ was founded on ancient pre-Christian European values and Christianity assisted in complementing those military and aristocratic values converting them into something accessible and functional for women, the lower classes, children, and slaves. Which…

    –“Why did France begin its fertility transition decades before the rest of the continent?”–François Valentin

    The answer is relatively obvious and isn’t really much of an enigma.
    a) French society, particularly after the French Revolution, embraced more individualistic and secular values compared to other parts of Europe. This cultural shift contributed to a greater acceptance of birth control and smaller family sizes.
    b) The ideas of Thomas Malthus, who argued that unchecked population growth would outpace food production, were widely discussed in France. This influenced early adoption of family planning practices.
    c) France urbanized earlier than many other European countries, which contributed to the decline in birth rates.
    d) France had relatively high literacy rates and educational standards for women, which influenced family planning decisions.
    e) The weakening of the church’s influence on daily life, including its stance on birth control.
    f) Perhaps most importantly Relative decline: the catholics had outbred the protestants, and french agricultural productivity (geography) and population were the source of her relative wealth. So the french had a faster rate of adjustment than protestant or poorer regions of europe. Compare with the Irish and the consequences of the potato famine.

  • I am not sure where ‘men’ were limited to liesure and war except a tiny fraction

    I am not sure where ‘men’ were limited to liesure and war except a tiny fraction at the margins. Life until the late 19th required pretty hard work from both sexes and there was very little surplus avaialble for liesure.

  • Doolittle ( de Dolietta ) is a Norman name – from Avranches that entered England

    Doolittle ( de Dolietta ) is a Norman name – from Avranches that entered England in 1066. My mother’s people (Sirois, Theriault, Oulette) are French, all from Normandy and Brittany, and my grandparents spoke French at home.
    Yes I have time to waste on Twitter et al. It’s part of my job. I didn’t participate in social media until it was part of my job. Social media has lowered the cost of social science and behavioral research to near zero for anyone relying on computational linguistics.

    (Movie Silliness)
    Just wondering. In all these ancient and medieval movies there are all these torches – in cellars, dungeons and caves. I mean, in reality, who the heck made and maintained these torches? They only burn for ten minutes to two hours at the longest.
