Belief in the supernatural seems to have given us an enormous survival advantage, or why would it be so universal? I feel like Multicultists are just post-Christians who are feeling the 'God-shaped hole' and are filling it with utopian universalist pap because that's where their wiring leads them.</b><br /><br />When it comes to genetics, I like the notion of features and bugs. A feature describes something that is pro-survival in one measure, contra-survival in another (too much or too little.) A bug is contra-survival at all times, and its existence is often due to exogenous cause, such as infectious disease. The poster child for this is toxoplasmosis, which apparently destroys the amygdala of afflicted persons (mostly cat ladies.) Some people believe homosexuality, esp. of men, has all or most of the attributes of being downstream of infectious disease. There's nothing whatsoever that Nature likes about men who have sex with men. CDC STD rates confirm quite the opposite (without antibiotics MSM would have very short life expectancies.)<br /><br />I think belief in the palpably unreal (including religion) is a side effect of our cognitive processes. It is an unintended effect, not particularly pro-survival at all. But I do agree that in the Post-Christian time the Left simply replaced "the Kingdom of Heaven" with "Utopia" as described by John Lennon in "Imagine." God was replaced by "we" (as in "we" can eliminate want, unhappiness, etc. because "we" can rewrite Nature's laws.)<br /><br />The aforementioned book by Oakley gets into a fair amount of the relatively recent science of cognition, e.g. the left-right hemisphere differences and the "System 1" and "System 2" cognitive systems posited in Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow." It is relatively easy to imagine how people with, for instance, left-brain dominance could be more likely to, as smart people are wont, fall in love with their ideas offered up by their "System 1" fast cognition (what I refer to as impulsive mindedness.) <br /><br />It is this to which I refer when it comes to impulsive cognition. We all have it, it's the seat of emotion, of sense of self, of phobias and of herding behavior (the Limbic System of the brain.) Its neurons fire faster and with greater amplitude than do those in the cerebral cortex, so it literally drowns out rational mindedness. Kahneman apparently points to many examples where we don't even notice that this snap-decision system is controlling what we think.<br /><br />This is the essence of why, to me, it's self-evident that <b>belief comes first.</b> These premises/biases/etc are held in the brain immediately above the brainstem, and they are the central control room for everything coming into the brain. Nothing will pass these filters. This is why it is essentially impossible to "change someone's mind" via persuasion. The filters have to fall first. If they don't, the person will simply go into "shoot the messenger mode." <br /><br />I have Kahneman's book in my shopping cart and hope it lives up to its hype. I do realize that no one who values his or her ability to pay their bills and be invited to social outings will currently highlight where the Leftist Theocracy is sustained with impulsive "System 1" cognition. Too bad, though. Oakley gets close to some of this, but clearly realizes that professional suicide accompanies too much candor.Deter Naturalistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-53483656814430879142018-09-17T17:52:36.547+02:002018-09-17T17:52:36.547+02:00Das Enuffa Dat--

I was once in the sam...Thanks your open-mindedness. I was once in the same position as you. Then I had certain encounters with S.J. Gould's brethren (and sistren), read KMac and joined the Dark Side.<br /><br /><i>I suppose that's where we part ways: You believe the Jewish role was necessary if not sufficient, whereas I believe it wasn't truly necessary--that we'd have gotten here sooner or later regardless.</i><br /><br />Do you agree that, if Darwin's "racism" in <i>The Descent of Man</i> had been built on properly, we would have arrived at a solid scientific consensus on racial (and sexual) differences long ago? If so, then you should also agree that the egalitarian nonsense used to justify mass immigration and attack white resistance would never have had a chance of fully infecting the body politic. And Darwin's work WAS being properly built on before WW2 and even more before WW1. Do you really believe that pie-in-the-sky egalitarianism would have defeated hard Darwinism without the massive support of a very cohesive, articulate and anti-white group within Western nations? How many decades of scientific progress have we lost because of Marx, Freud, Boas. Gould, <i>et al</i>? In the battle over sociobiology, there were clear ethnic patterns and the most effective liars, censors and propagandists came (and come) from one particular group.<br /><br /><i>don't forget who else got what they wanted--Big Business</i><br /><br />Yes. Big Business. And which group is massively over-represented there? Under Tony Blair in the UK, there was a big scandal about the Labour fundraiser Lord Levy selling peerages to a select group of businessmen whose acquaintance he had made through the charity Jewish Care. The businessmen all got substantial returns on their investments in Labour (property developers found planning permission much easier, for example). Levy was seemingly set for trial and conviction, but the Crown Prosecution Service ruled some vital evidence inadmissable. Much to the relief of the Jewish community, which had raised an almighty stink about "anti-semitism" when Levy seemed to be heading for court. Not an isolated "scandal".<br /><br /><i>It can't all be laid at the feet of Jewish influence.</i><br /><br />But who claims it is all due to that? For me it's like STEM. White men haven't been responsible for all advances in STEM. But would nuclear physics or electronics or the moon landings have happened yet without them? I don't think so.<br /><br /><i>I don't deny their influence, nor that of Boas or Adorno or Friedan, but again, it takes two to tango. Such seeds need to fall on fertile ground.</i><br /><br />Of course. It always takes two to tango in an interaction between manipulative parasite and manipulatable host. Toxoplasma can't prompt reptiles or birds towards suicide, as far as I'm aware.<br /><br /><i>I guess I'd just like to see some good hard data on the level of Jewish cultural influence in places like Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands (all multicult true believers) before I'm willing to give this factor as much credit as you do.

They've been pushing hard for open borders for over a century, hoping to shove wages down via endless waves of low-skill newcomers. The 1921 Immigration Act was the fruit of decades of nativist activism, and one of its biggest counter-lobbies was Big Biz--just like today. The open-borders crowd has always been an unholy marriage between multicult leftists and greedy corporations.

So I stand by my position ...Thanks for your reply.<br /><br /><i>So I stand by my position that Jewish media influence, while powerful, is only one of a multitude of factors contributing to ethno-masochism in the West.</i><br /><br />I agree with you. But "only one" doesn't capture how important JMI is. I think the Jewish role was necessary (if not sufficient). And the Jewish role isn't simply media influence: look at who funds political parties and has disproportionate representation at the top of political parties. Trump told American Jews that he did not need their money. Is it a coincidence that Trump also rejected the standard Jewish line on mass immigration (America is a Land of Immigrants, immigration is wonderful -- can't have too much of it, Emma Lazarus's schmaltzy poem supersedes the Constitution, etc)<br /><br />As for ethno-masochism: the majority in every Western nation have always wanted less immigration. And they never got what they wanted. But Barbara Lerner Specter and her folks got what they wanted. Western nations are not democratic on the most important of all political questions: race-replacement.<br /><br />And need I mention Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Leon Kamin, and all the others who have provided "scientific" support for mass immigration? According to them (and if you can't trust Jewish Marxists, who can you trust?), race doesn't exist. So why should any Western nation object to enrichment by Somalis? They'll be winning Nobel prizes in no time, once we've crushed the scourge of white racism. And the ADL and SPLC can tell us exactly how to do that.<br />Das Enuffa Datnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-69374313520030743082018-09-10T08:29:32.172+02:002018-09-10T08:29:32.172+02:00Grooming is a crime in the UK, for individuals. At...Grooming is a crime in the UK, for individuals. At the cultural level, advertising, branding, PR, marketing, seem to be considered worthwhile! Plus, the transition from numerate to hermeneutic in the social sciences has released many cohorts of relativists into society - ideally suited to absorbing soundbite-type messages. Added to which, the adulation and blatantly selective use of statistics, by self-appointed commentators, blinds the under-educated - no less than quotations from Latin scriptures once did.<br /><br />Whoever is behind the 'Multiculturialise the West' social engineering project (Big Money probably), the naivety and generosity of most Europeans would dissipate fairly rapidly if a few basic frequencies were unveiled, such as % of ssafrican, european, east Asian, indian, MENA populations in the world. Minoritarianism only works at national level. At local level, diasporas exist. At global level, Europeans are a smaller minority than populations that are protected at national level. In a global internet and mobile connected world, the very premise of minoritarianism is false.<br /><br />If ethnosuicide were taking place, voters would be aware of the likely effects of 'liberal' borders-policies. But if those likely effects are simply not discussed in public, ie via news-makers, then awareness amongst the population is low. <br /><br /><br />Linton Herbert's No-Babies.Net shows a very persuasive sigmoid curve demonstrating built-in senescence to cultures. Nevertheless, there is a rising tide of dissent despite many stringent legal restrictions on dissent. Some Europeans look set to defend their territory. Whether that territory becomes a dwindling patch similar to the Afrikaners' depends greatly on how 'society' views those patches. Perhaps there could be greater tolerance for Olde Europeans having their own zones, along side designated multicultural zones. It needn't be a source of conflict but the current Left/Lib dominant ideology makes it conflictual by simplistically labelling the idea as evil. <br /><br />Keep up the great work - would love to attend a terrestrial lecture by you.

Yes, dull-witted people appear overwhelmingly impulsive (the "special ed" students at my kids' high school who, while attending a dance simply began to have sex on the dance floor comes to mind), I submit that this might simply be an artifact of how we generally perceive impulsive actions. "Smart people" seem very impulsive to me when it comes to embracing the Intellectual Fad of the Week. <br /><br />This is where I see the link between Leftism (as a herd-level impulsive outcome) and intelligence. Let's face it, Leftists (Theocrats from antiquity onward) created entire cities-in-the-sky rationalizations for their shared fantasies. The smarter the Leftist, the more sublime the rationalization, the more occult his or her sweeping of reason under the rug.<br /><br />Each and every <i>Extraordinary Popular Delusion and Madness of Crowds</i> existed amidst pervasive, nay universal rationalization. Today's 40-50 year march down Monetary Insanity Boulevard is surrounded by textbooks and tenured economics dept chairmen telling us how borrowing a dollar, spending it and issuing a dollar IOU creates two dollars in wealth for each crank of the wheel. The people involved in this are clearly not stupid, nor do I imagine that they're simply demons engaging in malice.<br /><br />I was (theoretically still am) a member of a group whose entry threshold is an IQ (measured directly or via an accepted surrogate test) of 140. The loudest "mouths" among the members were connected to truly rabid leftists who were 100% on board with open immigration, special "transgender" rights, homophilia propaganda, criminalizing of "deviant" views, in other words the whole Leftist Lunatic Catechism. These people were bloodthirsty supporters of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, utterly blind to the library of open criminality in that woman's closet. To say that I "learned something" from my interaction with them was a colossal understatement. These were people whose rational minds didn't even come on-line until all their emotions and their deeply-held beliefs/biases/premises had already determined policy. Attempting a rational discussion with them was akin to reasoning with someone who is completely given over to uncontrollable rage. (Actually, I think the cognitive pathways involved are closely related.)<br /><br />It is my belief that the dominance of this impulsive cognition in a Pathological Altruistic, co-dependent over-empathic direction exists only because either those passing these genes along are surviving to reproduce amidst Plentude (and would be culled mercilessly in deprivation) or because the genes for this behavior set preexist and are simply switched on in times of Plenitude. I have no means of differentiating between these two possible explanations.<br /><br />Belief in the palpably unreal could be pro-survival in some cases, but for the most part I think existing in a fantasy world would be mostly contrary to survival. The theocracy in which we live posits a world that does not exist, and they've burned productive capital at a fantastic rate in order to force the real world to conform to their idealistic fantasies.<br /><br />At some point they'll run out of seed corn and breeder stock. Then will come winter. That's my guess, anyway.<br /><br />Are we selecting for Hothouse Flowers? I think so, economically, industrially, and most frightening to me of all, biologically. I fear for my descendants...that my protecting them from Nature's culling (what father would do otherwise?!) simply makes each successive generation more vulnerable for when Nature comes back on line with her blunt scythe.Deter Naturalistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-90508241056813546062018-08-30T23:25:25.823+02:002018-08-30T23:25:25.823+02:00Deter Nationalist--
Sorry, I missed this from ear...Deter Nationalist--<br /><br />Sorry, I missed this from earlier:<br /><br /><i>After five or ten generations without serious culling/hardship, people who are high-spectrum for Impulsive cognition (who normally would be SLAUGHTERED by Nature) proliferate among the otherwise "more capable, more intelligent" peoples, leading to the ultimate collective Impulsive fad, Leftism (a theology of Equalism and Altruism.)</i><br /><br />I'm not sure I follow--are you saying that highly-impulsive, low-intelligence people tend to be more leftist? My experience has skewed more the other way--the upper strata seem more out-group altruistic / equalitarian, with the lower classes more clannish (I'm talking ethnic Euros only here).<br /><br /><i>I strongly believe that after a very long period of rising living standards and surrounded by the Star-Trek gizmos produced by combining openness, social trust and innovation among our brightest group members, people are delusional, intoxicated in every sense of the word by what amounts to being surrounded by MAGIC.</i><br /><br />Indeed, and I'd also say they're <b>comfortable.</b> One thing I picked up from John Hibbing's <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17757977-predisposed" rel="nofollow">Predisposed</a></i> (and that you allude to) is that in all eras prior to our own, a conservative outlook was selected for brutally. Conformity to tradition, out-group suspicion, etc. were the <i>only</i> way to survive on the razor-edge of existence. This wonderland we live in today, not only gizmos and gadgets but every possible bodily need taken care of from cradle to grave--is it selecting for more careless, out-group-loving people? 'Hothouse flowers'?<br /><br /><i>If some cabal or parasitic subpopulation is manipulating the impulsive cognition of Western populations, it's only because Western populations are content to play along, even if it predictably leads to cataclysm.</i><br /><br />I missed this too, and yes this sums up my thoughts exactly.M.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06817230141673953233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-25675852286230095002018-08-30T21:17:57.536+02:002018-08-30T21:17:57.536+02:00M.G., I concur completely with your assertion:
So ...M.G., I concur completely with your assertion:<br /><i>So I stand by my position that Jewish media influence, while powerful, is only one of a multitude of factors contributing to ethno-masochism in the West.</i><br /><br />As my screen name implies, I look for explanations in Nature, as in Human Nature, specifically human neurobiology and genetics. Metaphysics and epistemology are fun subjects, but my preference is to believe that nothing people can do or think is outside of the programming of genetics (and in part determined by extant conditions.) <br /><br />We are surrounded by dupes because being duped is the fashion in place at this time. Pathological Altruism is an addiction, same as is heroin. Angelo Codevilla's paper on Political Correctness highlights Leftism writ large as an addiction (addiction to a specific theology, I aver.) <br /><br />I strongly believe that after a very long period of rising living standards and surrounded by the Star-Trek gizmos produced by combining openness, social trust and innovation among our brightest group members, people are delusional, <b>intoxicated</b> in every sense of the word by what amounts to being surrounded by MAGIC. (**)<br /><br />I remain convinced that this intoxication has collectively the same effect as drunk driving. Disaster is assured. <br /><br />The Ashkenazim play their (biologically) assigned role. People of Anglo-Saxon & NW European ancestry are playing theirs. Those of mainly African, Asian (East, Central or South) and Native American ancestry are playing theirs. History is a helix.<br /><br />No one is outside the Matrix.<br /><br />(**) Leonard Reed's <i>I, Pencil</i> proved about 50 years ago that no man or discrete group of men had all the knowledge to make a simple No.2 lead pencil. <b>A <i>pencil!</i></b> The hubris of our neighbors who think they can prescribe how to run an ECONOMY is simply stunning, a perfect illustration of how deep and wide is human folly and how phenomenally taken-for-granted are the modern marvels that surround us.Deter Naturalistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-25731832033324580692018-08-30T13:06:47.472+02:002018-08-30T13:06:47.472+02:00Santoculto--

Goo...Anon 22/8/18--<br /><br />Sorry, I missed your comment.<br /><br /><i>Good article describing what is happening but it doesnt talk about the WHO made this happen. It didnt happen by magic and in/outgroup altruism only has small piece to do with it.</i><br /><br />Das Enuffa Dat echoes this sentiment:<br /><br /><i>One group is conspicuously absent from your analysis. I won't name it, but I will note, à propos of nothing, that the nation of Israel has neither opened its borders to the Third World nor developed an ethnic death-wish.</i><br /><br />In Part III of this piece, we ask the question 'Where does all this come from?', and link to an earlier article exploring that very question: <a href="http://thosewhocansee.blogspot.com/2016/07/why-do-progressives-get-religion_40.html" rel="nofollow">'Why Do Progressives Get [Multiculturalist] Religion?'</a><br /><br />In that article we looked at 15 different possible source factors, one of which was 'Jewish Influence.' I'll quote it: <br /><br /><i>e) Jews<br /><br />Though today the notion has become dangerously unfashionable, one cannot deny the outsized influence the Jewish diaspora has had on multiculturalism in the West.

At a deep level the work of the Frankfurt School is addressed to altering Western societies in an attempt to make them resistant to anti-Semitism by pathologizing gentile group affiliations.<br /><br />'A consistent theme of The Authoritarian Personality is the idea that gentile participation in cohesive groups with high levels of social conformity is pathological, whereas similar behavior of Jews … is ignored.<br /><br />'A common component of anti-Semitism among academics during the Weimar period was a perception that Jews attempted to undermine patriotic commitment and social cohesion of society.

Slaves were trafficed everywhere that slavers went, no matter who they were. The very word "slave" shares a root with "slav", which is a EUROPEAN word; before Europeans even knew of sub-Saharan Africans, there were Europeans held as slaves. Further, while the "victim" populations practiced slavery themselves they had no business complaining. It was the insistence of one Anthony Johnson, an African man, that HIS cultural norms gave him lifetime ownership of John Casor which brought full chattel slavery to the colony of Virginia.<br /><br /><i>Again, you invaded, colonized, imposed, built your archicteture and culture in all places</i><br /><br />And one of those "impositions" was the abolition of slavery. We even got Saudi Arabia to stop the (overt) sale of African slaves... about a century after the US civil war.<br /><br />For this you affix BLAME, not credit. Go bugger yourself with rusty hacksaw blades.<br /><br /><i>your responsibility become BIG... can understand this</i><br /><br />You have a gross double standard. You only allow debits to the ledger, not credits. Since your whole system comes down to "White people must pay" my standard is "fuck you and the hos you rolled in with."<br /><br /><i>I know many black individuals who have more humankind</i><br /><br />Stop right there, you stupid SOB. If you do not assign at least equal blame to Anthony Johnson and his African ancestors for practicing lifetime slavery and suing to bring the institution to the English colonies, it doesn't matter HOW much "humankind" their descendants have. If living White people bear ANY blame for that history, they bear more. How many of THEIR relations fought and died to abolish slavery in the USA? Very few. Those who gave blood to free them deserve their deference and veneration, and so do all their living relations direct and indirect. All you have is demands and hate.<br /><br /><i>Don't understand this.</i><br /><br />You don't have the brainpower. If you are in the USA, you have to go back.

Perhaps we're on our way to removing our DNA from the human gene pool.<br /><br />If that is so, do you want to explain to me what life for your descendants (assuming you have any) will be like? For all the "warts" of "white" countries, why is it that people the world over FLOCK to them? <br /><br />About the only major advance in innovation during the last 1000 years my ancestors DIDN'T create was gunpowder, and we figured out how to put it to much better use. If you don't like us so much, maybe it's because without us, you'd still be living under conditions common in 1100 AD.

Volkmar Weiss has a nice...<br />(begin part two of two.)<br /><br />Volkmar Weiss has a nice 2007 paper on The Population Cycle wherein he argues that Nature culls for higher intelligence and capability until the now-smarter populace tames Nature's culling, after which the "smarter, more capable" people have fewer kids and are eventually drowned in a wave of "less capable, more stupid" but (released from Nature's culling) fecund people, leading to the collapse of civilizations. [This is a massive paraphrase.]<br /><br />I find this dissatisfying given that the demographic catastrophe is so clearly visible half a century or more in advance. People should know better, but they [<b>an entire society of the most civilized people</b>] insist on fantasy instead of reality. <br /><br />I posit two explanations: <br />A. After five or ten generations without serious culling/hardship, people who are high-spectrum for Impulsive cognition (who normally would be SLAUGHTERED by Nature) proliferate among the otherwise "more capable, more intelligent" peoples, leading to the ultimate collective Impulsive fad, Leftism (a theology of Equalism and Altruism.) Leftist theology eventually becomes Pathological Altruism leading to population collapse due to low reproduction and utter suicidal <b>surrender</b> to alien populations.<br />B. The balance between Rational and Impulsive cognition is the subject of an epigenetic switch, such that in periods of perceived unlimited resources, Impulsive cognition is grossly amplified, producing the same apparent catastrophes as Explanation A until "Plenitude" is replaced by hardship, at which time the epigenetic switch is set back toward Reasoned cognition and Leftist Theology is largely discarded.<br /><br /><b>My question is, between these two explanations, is it all A, all B, is it a combination and if so, which predominates?</b> This is as far as I've gotten in this inquiry.<br /><br />In any case, Etienne de la Boetie showed us 500 years ago that all polities exist only under popular consent. If some cabal or parasitic subpopulation is manipulating the impulsive cognition of Western populations, it's only because Western populations are content to play along, even if it predictably leads to cataclysm.Deter Naturalistnoreply@blogger.com
