Staying on message:
1 – Not all peoples are equally disposed to speak truth before face.
2 – The lower the group’s median IQ the less likely they are able to speak truth before face.
3 – Some populations must rely on lying to advance their collectivist religious social and politcal systems (the abrahamic cults)
4 – Truth before face is, aside from individual self determination (sovereignty), the single most important civilizational difference between the west (whites) and the rest.
Why? Because every single institution we value and that provides us with such a competitive advantage, and provides such a higher standard of living and quality of life, depends on it – the origin of our law, or our empiricism of our science, arts, technoligy and medicine, especially our liberty and jurty and common concurrent law – all depend on this one foundation: truth before face regardless of cost.
And what is the left advancing? Collectivism and Lying instead. In other words cultural suicide.
And why are women so eager to advance collectivism face before truth and ly ing to cover it?
Because it absolves them of responsibility for defense of the behavioral commons. And women evade responsibility as much as they pursue attention and consumption. Training women to not rely on antisocial behavior is just as important if not more important than training men not to. and that’s what we have failed to do.
Now back to the paper:
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 usual 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.

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.)
