  • White Supremacists Claim That, If It Weren’t For White People, The World Would Still Be Living In The Stone Age. They Also Claim That White People Brought Enlightenment And The Modern World We Know Of Today. Is This True?

    Um. Its pretty hard to argue with deflationary truth (western objective truth). It’s pretty hard to argue with early european sovereignty and heroism. It’s pretty hard to argue empirically with socrates->plato->aristotle->(Epicureanism/Stoicism). It’s pretty hard to argue against greek tragedy and art. It’s pretty hard to argue against Roman law, and administration. It’s pretty hard to argue against natural law. It’s pretty hard to argue against Empiricism (enlightenment). It’s pretty hard to argue against the aesthetic, agrarian, industrial, financial, and informational revolutions.

    The only people who came close were the chinese. And despite a much longer history, and geographic isolation from ‘the tribal people of the desert and steppe’, and a much longer development cycle with a larger more homogenous population arguably more ‘pliable’ they didn’t. (And I am certain now that I can explain why.)

    Yet in a few generations in the ancient world, and a few generations in the modern world, white people dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, disease, tyranny, and the vicissitudes of nature.

    If it were not for the Abrahamic Dark Age of Ignorance brought about by Judaism->Christianity->Islam, and especially the damage done to the western empire by christianity thanks to Paul of Tarsus and the eastern emperors, and more so the damage done to the great civilizations of the fertile crescent and north africa destroyed by the islam – the Roman and European peoples were very close to bringing about the first industrial revolution – the seeds of which were beginning by the time of Archimedes.

    yes, white people’s great civil war (world wars 1 and 2) ended the colonialism project by which we forcibly and profitably dragged people out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, disease, tyranny, and the vicissitudes of nature. And yes, had that project completed – at least in the British model of “raise and let them loose” as they did with america, india, and most of the other colonies. Then the world would be in a better condition today.

    And yes, if Americans had continued to China and Russia after the second world war, then we would have been prevented of the disasters of socialism and communism that still plague the (foolish) peoples of the world.

    That said. Europeans have committed suicide post war, and it has no sign of abating other than the possibility that the current stresses will lead to a single civil war that causes a chain reaction – out of envy of the consequences.

  • Why Is The Middle East So Mystic?

    If I told you the correct answer I’d probably be banned for ‘unpleasant but true speech’, but
    1) it has a significant genetic component,
    2) as well as demographic,
    3) as well as cultural .
    But let’s say it always has been this way.

    If I ask you to look up IQ by country. And then ask you to look up literacy by country. And then look up the number of books translated in that country. And then look up academic publications by country. And then if I ask you to look up the IQ demographics for religious, moral, legal, western-philosophical, and scientific classes. And then ask you to look up the content of the language, laws, narratives, and marital structures.

    What you can’t (readily) look up is the distribution of (psychotic)female-to-male(autistic) brain structures and therefore personality traits by IQ, Nation, Race, Subrace, and Class. What is harder to look up is the degree of neoteny or its reversal by race and subrace. And it’s somewhat difficult to look up how neoteny or its opposite, can work in both male and female directions. Because it will take you months to put together all the research from all the different sources.

    And what you might find is that:
    a) small things in large numbers make vast differences.
    b) that IQ and industriousness pretty much produce deterministic distributions.
    c) countries have to govern for the middle of the population and the further than number is below IQ105 the worse it gets.
    d) The underclasses (below 105) are 5 to 6 times as costly as the upper classes are productive(above 120), and are an outright burden as the number decreases.
    e) That the middle east has the worst of all conditions, which is high population density of many competing tribes with high genetic ‘clannishness’ through centuries of inbreeding, as well as pervasive poverty, as well as centuries of ignorance, a justification of ignorance, the habituation of impulsiveness, none to little concept of objective scientific truth as we understand it, a primitive poetic language lacking operational grammar and semantics.

    Just how it is.

  • The History Of The Ending Of The Abrahamic Dark Age Made Possible By The Empirical Enlightenment.

    Of the English revolution, The American revolution The French Revolution The The German Revolution The Jewish Revolution And the Russian Revolution … And the Indian Revolution And the Chinese Revolution…. And the South American Revolution…. And now the muslim revolution…. How long did the ‘change’ take? What were the consequences both good and bad? What ‘century’ have we just finished. If you simply take a timeline, and stack those time periods, what you’ll see is that we endure from very short periods of peaceful change (German) to civil wars (English and American and Indian) to destructive but not bloody( south American) to bloody (Russian and French), to devastatingly bloody and persistent (Jewish), to extraordinarily bloody (Chinese and Muslim).

    (a) what is the reason for the pre-ancient, ancient, late ancient, early medieval, and high medieval wealth in the fertile crescent?

    (b) what was the relative condition (economic) of people in the ancient, early medieval, high medieval, late, and early modern periods. Meaning, how did life change from 500bc to 1200ad and why?

    (c) why was the so called golden age possible? (was it even true for that matter?) It’s partly true. But why?

    (d) Why were non-corrupt governments difficult to produce? Why are they STILL nearly impossible.

    (e) Where did all the (various) treasury’s money come from?

    (h) Why, once the technology was available, couldn’t it be adopted?
