Well, in that case go into some detail regarding the components of the "demographic crisis" you speak of. What specially makes it a crisis?
So now you are assigning orders to me? “In that case” do thus and such?
Are you saying that you do not recognize that demographic crises exist? Or are you saying that it is wrong that demographic crises exist and one is
aware of them?
I'm not ordering you to do anything. I'm simply trying to grasp why you won't bring your
theoretical conjectures regarding a demographic crisis down out of the clouds.
And, nope, I don't see any demographic crisis in America. Unless you count the concern that some note in regard to the over-all birth rate "flattening" or declining.
Is that your point? And you noting that the Northern European white stock having greater intelligence "on average" actually does not factor in at all in the crisis?
On the other hand, any number of folks on the right are warning us of the grim consequences of this:

The crisis revolves precisely around race for them.
How about you? What in your view
does the crisis revolve around?
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:30 amClearly the US is in the midst of a multi-layered crisis. Are you saying it is wrong to refer to this in any way?
Again, note the components of this.
And I have noted a number of times that, as with all value judgments of this sort, "I" am no less "fractured and fragmented" when it comes to race. I recognize that my own value judgments here are political prejudices and in no way would I argue that I can demonstrate that all rational men and women are obligated to think as I do. The sheer complexity of genes and memes intertwined in ever evolving historical and cultural contexts can make these things profoundly problematic. But the science that I have encountered over the years seems pretty convincing about intelligence and race. There does not appear to be any hierarchy with Northern Europeans on top and blacks on the bottom?
"On average"?
AJ wrote: My review of the evidence, or of the arguments, points to some IQ differences between the large racial groups. So according to those studies the East Asians have a slightly higher average IQ than, say, the average European. They also say that on average the *sub-saharan Africans* have an even lower one than the Europeans.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:30 amAh now I get it: you take issue with the fact that I reported to you what other people, who had or do engage in studies, have discovered? Am I right then to conclude that the wrong I committed was in making a reference to that? Is that where the moral wrong you are enraged about lies?
Look, Mr. Wiggle, you personally either believe that your own race "on average" is intellectually superior to other races or you don't. You either include your views on race in the "demographic crisis" or you don't. You'll either note a list of policies you'd recommend to end the demographic crisis or you won't. In regard to personal relationships, education, employment and to other government actions.
And when I asked how much lower, you shrug that off with, "why does the exact number matter to you?"
And when I asked how much lower, you shrug that off with, "why does the exact number matter to you?"
Well, I suspect it matters considerably less to me than to those of the races that your "studies" argue are less intelligent "on average" than your own Northern European racial stock. In fact, how much lower in intelligence is the Southern European stock? Are they actually closer to the sub-saharan Africans than to the Northern Europeans?
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:30 amYes, and I would ask you that question again: why does this matter to you? If Asians — as they say — have higher IQs
on average than Europeans
on average what is your reason for wanting to know how much?
A bit? A fraction? If I remember correctly that is what it seemed to be.
Again, that is the question that
they would be asking you. I don't believe that race
is a factor in regard to intelligence. I'm only curious regarding how you do connect the dots existentially between whatever you believe about race, the demographic crisis and what you believe should done to end it.
And for those folks here who are members of these "on average" inferior races [intellectually], I think they might be very much interested in exploring the part where, for example, you do note the things that the Nazis got right and the things that they got wrong.
Also, the political policies those who do walk your talk might embrace in order to end the demographic crisis. What might the "on average" intellectually inferior folks expect in a community dominated by those of your ilk?
In other words, the part where your "theoretical assessment" here makes contact with the reality of actual human interactions...social, political and economic.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:30 amBut this Nazi concern is really your question, isn’t it? What then do you see the Nazis as having got right? Why do you ask me to answer a question that I have not expressed any interest in?
Come on, whenever someone makes an argument that is derived in part from the ideas of those like Jensen and Shockley, re race and intelligence...

...any number of folks will connect those dots to the Final Solution.
I'm just curious to know how far down that path you might go if were in a position of power in any particular community. What might people of color and the Jews expect from you?
But: I don't deny that I may be completely wrong regarding how I interpret your posts here.
Though, again, yeah, I do acknowledge that this is what I myself always aim for: connecting the dots existentially between words and worlds.
As for this particular psycho-babble...

I think that your concept of what you are aiming for is incomplete. It is neurotic projection of disturbed inner content and involves a need to find someone to pick a fight with that motivates you.
No? So that you can live out the frustration of the man John Fowles described in the paragraph you quote often.
To burn in impotent frustration or something to that effect?
That must be terribly distressing. Any way to get over it?
Sure, make this all about me.
And the Fowles quote revolves around the manner in which I am myself "fractured and fragmented" in regard to moral and political value judgments. And in my belief that in a No God world my own existence itself is
essentially meaningless and purposeless.
