The data are well established - there are robust correlations between race and IQ. We do not for certain know *why* that is the case, though differing modes of population member selection seem to be a leading cause for the US at least.

The West has a severe myopic problem with respect to history - deep cultural history.
Classic genetic racists will point to African societies and say 'look! they are inferior because they are black.'
Classic 'anti-racist' narcissists will say 'No! we can fix them! It's people

It’s almost like democrats do okay with cities that are predominantly white, but then turn any city with a large black population to garbage through social policy experimentation and then use the black population as an excuse for why you can’t criticize the policies. In the end,

We have not fully begun to reap the consequences of our arbitrarily imposed selective blindness to all sexual divisions of labor.
But we will indeed reap them.

Math and pictures really scare people. Try talking seriously about the elements of their life in non-abstracted terms and watch the reactions.

Wasn't she sexually abused by Hollywood elites during the production of Juno? There was something about that movie that always made me feel uncomfortable. I never understood why it was nominated for so many awards.

This degree of inbreeding may shed some light on behavioral biological reasons as to why Medieval Jews only became so disliked in European society around the 13th and 14th Centuries.

Take a look at the population statistics. The Hungarians have actual reversed - not just halted - the decline of their fertility rate. To my knowledge they are the only European country to do so and the only one that has found any meaningful solution to the problem that doesn't
@xingtemplars
The hardest Germanic Pagans - of those not killed in battle or murdered by backstabbing relatives - chose Christ, Roman Law, and the Church. All of them. Very few were converted by the sword. They were the sword and they sheathed it willingly to submit to the ageless.

And what about 15 years after that? This is the problem with these visions. They fantasize these single moments in time with no perspective on its continual flow extended into infinity.

Your conclusion on the important reviving the West is largely the same as that which I have reached.
We can do it, but it must be done.

Shakespeare alludes to this in Macbeth as the eponymous tragic figure is slain by Macduff, a man who was 'not of woman born,' having been cut from his mother's corpse, thus fulfilling the prophesy of the three witches from the first act of the play.

Fun fact: Early Modern people’s believes that such births bestowed magical arcane powers upon the newborn, granting them the ability to do battle with witches and demons in protection of the yearly harvest.
See Carlo Ginzburg’s “The Night Battles” for a historical treatment.

It's almost like voting to permit one group of people to steal money from another group of people has repercussions on everyone... someone should study this, we might be onto something.

Tacitus considered two types of exemplars worthy of writing history about: the very best, to inspire us to the heights of greatness; the very worst, to shame us away from the depths of human depravity.

The greatest revelation of deepest evil is that it isn’t a cackling cartoon.
It’s banal, expedient, and apathetic. True evil doesn’t take pleasure from plotting, it simply sees meat and clothes where it ought to see a human being.

Well, in November 1944 6 million Jews indeed were not dead *yet.* The war ended in April 1945 and Auschwitz wasn’t even liberated until January 27, 1945.
How exactly did you envision this document supporting your argument?

Ours is a society in many aspects that incentivizes parasitic busybodying and social manipulation. That’s what that economic situation indicates.

China is nowhere CLOSE to being able to match the US in naval power projection.
The US operates ELEVEN (11) Supercarrier battle groups.
There are only twenty-one (21) aircraft carriers TOTAL in the world.
China has… two (2)… and one is a converted casino ship…
Oh.

Germany was already a top 3 world economy prior to WWI that had gone through many centuries of civic, commercial, and legal development. There was no cultural restructuring after WWII, Germany was just given money to rebuild and try to resume its pre-war trajectories.
@ConceptualJames
James, again I respect a lot of what you have to say, but it is confusing to me to hear you characterize figures like Kant and Rousseau as “Counter-Enlightenment.” On what basis do you characterize them as non-Enlightenment thinkers? How are you characterizing ‘Enlightenment?’

Would you celebrate a ham and cheese sandwich? The principal consequence of normalizing the marginal is that it becomes just that: normal.

The reason GRR Martin has failed to finish his books is because he genuinely does not understand the poetry mirroring the course of human life required for him to complete the narrative in any way that makes sense. This blog post is a testament to that.
Great writers who have?

Women had 3 out of 4 of those things prior to any analysis of them as a ‘class’ and received ‘the vote’ only 65 years after all men did in the US - which as a democratic republic was an emergent historical anomaly in a world of empires and autocracy.

This is a response to the recent missile strike on Ukraine two days ago. This war does not have the manpower to make it to WW3, not on either side.

Man is not purely rational nor purely an individual unto himself and cannot live in the world without any axioms of faith. This rarely goes over well.

Islam has always been built on the foundation of a tribal warrior way of life, including the practice of raiding, slavery, and the taking of warbrides as property. Islam was seductive to the Turkic peoples of Central Asia - The Seljuks, Ottomans, Mongols - because they, too, were
