  • Scientific Genius is Disproportionately From the Extreme Male Brain

    —”…scientific geniuses typically combine outlier high IQ with moderately low Conscientiousness and moderately low Agreeableness.”— Autism (male brain) radically INCREASES sensitivity. Nearly all autists develop psychological traumas. So most behaviors are self defensive against oversaturation, overstimulation, and overloading. Schizophrenia (Female brain) tends to be incoherent (localized) not systematized. Again, diagnostic conversion from specific states to Autism Spectrum Disorder was as harmful to colloquial use as was beneficial in explanatory power. Maleness: If you’re able to systematize without bias, that’s different from those who are cognitively disabled – that’s defect.

    As usual, Dutton produces a current, complete, accessible, review of the subject matter for general audiences. Not much new here but Dutton provides a coherent reliable curation of the data, without unnecessary speculation or overreach.

  • NOTES ON: Making Sense of Race by Edward Dutton

    Making Sense of Race by Edward Dutton (2020) (kindle edition) Nits

    • No TOC. A TOC explains the thesis. It’s sort of ‘unfair’ to the reader to not include one. 😉

    The Formation of Races

    • Speciation: AFAIK species refers to geographic isolation and variation producing reproductive specialization.
    • Speciation: AFAIK humans evolved hyper adaptivity and hyper opportunism, and so will have sex with anything.

    Understanding Life History Strategy

    • The most important ‘tell’ is only suggested here with the high incidence of dementia in east Asians.  In general, it’s not clear that east Asians are more K selected so much as that they are dramatically more neotenous and k selected, with neoteny likely passing optimum levels.
    • In general the R/K theory (Female vs Male Strategy) is overplayed when the CAUSAL axis is more one of neoteny first (universal), and then sexual dimorphism second(particular). This is a better (scientifically causal) framing of race and subrace (species and subspecies) differences.
    • So far I think the primary difference between past and present or between Rushton and Dutton’s analysis is that we know a great deal more about brain development and its consequences than we did in the past – and I”m pretty much current on that subject.

    What It Means To Be Smart

    • Again, causally, intelligence is best understood as the continuation of human evolution of hyper adaptability, and intelligence a measure of RATE of adaptability.
    • This rate of adaptability is the first reason for western success, because our institutions are the most hyper adaptive (law not state or religion).

    Religion and Intelligence

    • I dunno about this chapter. As far as I know religiosity is dependent on four factors, in order: 1) familial indoctrination, 2) empathic personality (demand for mindfulness) 3) stresses (demand for mindfulness) 4) intelligence and I’m not sure intelligence matters except above 115.

    Jews

    • It’s better to consider the Ashkenazim the most recent hybrid subrace that achieved isolation and speciation by about 500 years ago. They just isolated within host peoples rather than geographically. And were persecuted rather than subject to climate and resource pressure, and it APPEARS that they either narrowed or reversed cognitive sexual dimorphism which is painfully obvious in the data.
    • The Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims are best seen as a spectrum of parasitic strategies targeting escalating scale of predation on competitors because they take advantage of the IE world’s trifunctionalism and erroneous categorization of war as physical, where the gypsies practice petty theft and undermining virtues, the jews theft from the commons undermining eugenic virtues, and the Muslims inverting eugenic to dysgenic virtues.  Everyone ELSE practices TOTAL WAR. Europeans practice our traditional ritual war limited to violence. We are WRONG.  The future requires the abandonment of our ‘domestication of warfare’, and return as the Semites and the Chinese, to total war.

    Taboos

    • Well, since we have the science and I have the law it is possible to increase the scope of our laws to prohibit baiting people into hazards with the false promise of freedom from physical, natural, and evolutionary laws. Then we are at least forced to trade with one another.

    SUMMARY

    • Dutton is an excellent author. Very readable. Complete. Best current summary available.
    • Nothing new here other than the full spectrum coverage of current knowledge.
    • Doesn’t really take on the evidence of cog sci. (I’m overly sensitive since this is one of my areas)
    • No solution (we have solutions – that’s what we do)
    • Doesn’t identify the left’s techniques of lying and denying (see my upcoming podcast)
    • Should clearly address (as we do) the Urheimats, timing, and direction of evolution, AND the three-axis of human variation in cognitive development (Aggression/Neoteny, dimorphism, longitudinal development/agency.

    Dutton: Truth? The demarcation is demonstrated: sexual, social, economic, and political market value. ‘Whiteness’ is just ‘science’: the minimum deviation from universal laws, and it requires ‘fitness’ – and if you can’t compete in ‘whiteness’ you’re ‘unfit’ – natural selection.

    NO, RACE IS NOT A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT – IT’S SCIENCE
    No more lies. No more left’s lies. The left prevents policy to solve real problems of the real differences between groups.

  • Race is not a social construct it is a scientific observation of the four main speciation events as groups isolated, adapted, and expanded.

    Causes of Race: Regional Speciation “Race” was and is, the term we use for the observation that present humans (sapiens) were speciating by geography as all animals speciate by geography. Except in human case, distance from Rift Valley Urheimat led to a decrease in aggression and increase in domestication: intelligence, agency, neoteny Evolutionary speciation occurred in four Urheimats: 1) East African Rift Valley through 60k ybp 2) Pre-flood Persian Gulf through 50k ybp 3) North East-Asia through 40k ybp 4) North Eurasia (Russia) 24k ybp. All groups were speciating. And each was as different as Euro and Asians. Evolutionary Hierarchy:

    Most Evolved: East Asian < Europeans < South Eurasians (Afro Asiatic: North African, Semitic, and Iranic: Iranic, Indian) < Africans (east and the rest) : Least Evolved As such ‘race’ accurately describes the evolutionary stages of humans as we once again speciated by geography, with later hybrids ‘replacing’ earlier versions. The Agrarian expansion, then IE (horse) Expansions, the arab expansion, created hybrids today. The European ‘unification of the world’ during the age of sale and the Darwinian revolution explained this history for us.

    • The Han have mastered local hybridization but at high cost.
    • The Koreans and Japanese have resisted it successfully and maintained the gains.
    • The Iranics failed in both India, and to resist the Arabs in Persia.
    • The Indian upper caste and the european upper ‘caste’ succeeded.

    Hybridization of a less evolved people by greater numbers of a more evolved people can produce gains. Hybridization of a more evolved people by greater numbers of a less evolved people produces harms. This ‘harm’ of hybridization as we have seen in the rest of the world, is what the Masculine East and West are trying to prevent. Domestication Race is genetic, meaningful, and more meaningful because of pervasive kin preference in all walks of life, and the VAST differences in sexual, social, economic, political, and military cooperative market value of the different races and subraces. So no, humans are, like every other domesticated animal – with our nearest behavioral relation, wolf-to-dog, that shares our predatory strategy, the closest example. So, can we please stop the social construction of false promise of freedom from physical(scarcity), natural(amorality, reciprocity, kin selection), evolutionary(genetic load, regression to the mean, natural selection) laws by virtue signaling to appeal to female magical-thinking? The Left’s Lies:

    • False promise of the end of scarcity by endless growth
    • False promise of the nature of man – when he is amoral, reciprocal, and kin preferential
    • False promise of the malleability of man – genetic determinism, vast differences in group genetic evolution, vast differences in cognitive, social, and institutional evolution.
    • False promise of the end of natural selection – from genetic load, regression to the mean, and necessity of natural selection – especially the constraint heterogeneity places on natural selection.

    Dating of the Death of the Left’s Lies

    • IQ equality died by 2000,
    • Sex equality died by 2012,
    • Race Equality Died by 2018.

    There are material biological differences between the races, that are due to increasing rates of self-domestication as each geographic race isolated, evolved, and expanded in the territory. While our upper classes (above 115 – potential for self study) are commensurable, our classes increase in incommensurability below it. Curing The World of the Left’s Second Dark Age We can ‘cure’ social construction by fake news, political deceit, academic pseudoscience, with one constitutional amendment, but we need to gain political power to implement that amendment. We can impose a warranty of public speech in matters public treating it as COURT TESTIMONY. The false promises of the enlightenment and the Marxist Pomo woke counter-revolution against darwin are over. The left is the impediment to achieving any sense of equality of opportunity. STOP LYING. No more science denial. Stop Lying. Stop the social construction of false promise of freedom from physical(scarcity), natural(amorality, reciprocity, kin selection), evolutionary(genetic load, regression to the mean, natural selection) laws by virtue signaling to appeal to female magical-thinking? All you evil people accomplish with your lies is to prevent creating policy that will produce commons suitable for the VAST DIFFERENCES in cognitive, emotional, normative, and traditional differences between groups. The only solution to equality is to continue european and East Asian suppression of the reproduction of the unproductive (bottom) such that proceeds from production can be devoted to the production of commons.
