First a special thanks to commenter race realist for his recent guest blogging on the evolution of human athleticism. Even though I don’t necessarily agree with every point, It was an incredibly well researched article that has stimulated a lot of great discussions.
An urgent request from Afrosapiens
Speaking of great guest bloggers, commenter Afrosapiens really wanted us to watch this urgent video he found on the internet:

It’s an emergency, give guys please.I don’t know what to do to soften you hearts but please just do something, relay the message at least.
A DNA discussion
Well Afro was watching that urgent video, I was watching this presentation by Professor Moses Schanfield:
Now I’m no biologist (obviously) but I was struck by his claim around the 6 minute mark that only 2.5% of our DNA codes for phenotype. Now he notes that the other 97.5% of DNA is not truly junk DNA since it serves important functions, but one major function it serves is just to absorb harmful mutations. So if I understand correctly, animals were selected for a lot of non-coding DNA in part, to increase the odds that a mutation wouldn’t occur on the important genes? On the other hand, a lot of non-coding DNA can be very important in its own right, and is not just there to sacrifice itself for the coding DNA.
One of the arguments I’m always making is that how race, species (or other taxonomic categories) are classified by DNA, doesn’t perfectly correlate with how it’s classified by morphology. So one has to decide what one means by taxonomical categories like “race”, “species” and “genus”. Does one simply mean a group with a shared breeding history, or does one mean a group that is morphologically similar, or both? I prefer to define a taxon as:
A group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms that share a relatively similar phenotype genetically inherited from a common ancestor. The more shared the phenotype, the more specific the taxon (i.e. race is more specific than species which is more specific than genus).
So two populations might share a really recent common ancestor, but if they haven’t both preserved the phenotype of that common ancestor, they’re not in the same taxon as I would define it. Or, two populations might have identical phenotypes, but if they didn’t inherit them from the same common ancestor, they’re also not the same taxon, as I would define it.
On the other hand, two populations could share an incredibly ancient common ancestor, but if they both genetically PRESERVED the phenotype of that common ancestor, I’d consider them the same taxon no matter how old that common ancestor was.
That’s just my layman opinion, but even among specialists there’s great debate about how taxonomy should be done, so I don’ think the issue is settled.
One provocative part of the above video is at the very end: Schanfield seems skeptical of the widely accepted claim that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals. Neanderthals and modern humans are considered different species, and as Race Realist has pointed out, one definition of species is a population that can only produce fertile offspring with other members of its population. However I’ve heard on various reputable science documentaries (sorry no specific source) that primate populations that have been reproductively isolated for 1-2 million years can still produce fertile offspring so I don’t think that definition works.
Of course Schanfield is not arguing about the definition of species, but instead arguing that scientists can’t distinguish Neanderthal DNA caused by admixture from Neanderthals from DNA caused by ancient shared ancestry with Neanderthals.
Pumpkin Person 
Mille merci for the video on Somalia’s situation.
If youre so in love with them why don’t you just marry them?
And you, why don’t you eat a dick ?
He’s in love with STD and HIV infested black she-apes already. His behaviour, although explainable mostly by lower black IQ and intellect and different black psychology, part must be the amount of STDs he has accrued as is common for black men in general.
Dont see afro helping haiti. Amazing how afro has this obsession with east africans but completely ognores the plight of his real family and home nation. Its like hes a black liberal with overlapping sympathies to status signal he is more empathetic.
You know afro we accept you for what you are. Finding common cause with madagascar doesnt improve your standing with me.
There you go, Carlito:
And be nice, share it with Philibuster.
More penises. Unbelievable.
you ever tried Vienna Sausages? good protein source.
“Dont see afro helping haiti. ”
Lol, you don’t see me at all, you moron.
You’ll never do a thousandth of what I’ve done for Haiti for any of your paranoid causes.
You’d get fired on a mission anyway.
I have a haitian adopted son. Do you?
it’s true.
it would be one thing if afro claimed to have f—ed 10 girls all non-hos. but 10 girls a year? guy is trying TOO hard.
question: why is he trying WAY TOO hard?
answer: he has something to prove.
question: what does he have to prove?
answer: that he isn’t a fag.
my mother and father would’ve been perfectly happy if i’d become a priest. i did consider it in hs when i was going through my “religious phase”. but the roman church is bullshit. so i didn’t. i imagine there is a size-able proportion of priests who aren’t fags or chimos. at least 25% in the anglo-prole-sphere and 50% outside it.
Mug of pee got that “lazy ass mofo” stuff under his skin. Chill out buddy, you know it makes no sense that I’m gay, and you know it perfectly makes sense that I have slept with about 100 girls in ten years.
Here’s an interesting thought.
Without religion there can be no science.
For example, without druids/monks/brahmins there is no scholarship. People forget the civil service exams were about Confucius or that Gutenberg’s first print run was the bible.
Without a reason for specialisation in scholarship and education (or miseducation if you’re skeptical of religion), there is no avenue to turn from barbarianism to the study hall.
Most unis are of religious background.
I’m sure Dawkins would promulgate another scenario where people create universities. I just don’t see it in the empirical record.
Thanks for the kind words, PP. Also, thank you for publishing my article. I enjoyed the conversations I had (still not done obviously). I’ll write one article a month for you, maybe more if I feel like it. (I’ll try to keep the word count down on my next one!)
“However I’ve heard on various reputable science documentaries (sorry no specific source) that primate populations that have been reproductively isolated for 1-2 million years can still produce fertile offspring so I don’t think that definition works.”
I’ll look into this later. The only thing I’ve seen is that source you’ve provided that said AMH arose in Australia (Out of Australia? The fuck?). Now, just because he believes some wacko OoAustralia garbage doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
I’ll take the time tonight to check his references if I can find them on sci-hub. Can you provide me the link to that site again?
I’ll look for the link when i get time tomorrow. I look forward to the future articles you write!
“Thanks for the kind words, PP.”
“I look forward to the future articles you write!”
I never thought I’d see the day. :’)
Lol, yeah, this world is full of surprise.
Is it me or we’re all in a good mood today ?
Indeed my fellow brown boy, today is a day or merriment and rejoice.
I think it is the right time to play the über-high class official brown boy’s anthem
Brown Power ! Yay !
^^^ Lion King, best movie ever.
Im glad you guys enjoyed my article. PP, my next will be on race, prosrate cancer, and environmental and genetic factors. A wealth of data on the subject (and not what you’d think). I’ll email it to you by next week
Sounds good!
And i was thinking RR. It’s up to you, but perhaps in the next article, instead of hyper-linking the references that back your claims, leave out the in-text references completely & just hyper-link the claim itself & anyone who wants the reference can just click on the claim. That way you don’t have to clutter your article with distracting in-text references.
APA style makes you look like a scientist, but people read science blogs precisely because formal scientific writing is too overwhelming & they want something more digestible.
But your article was a huge success so feel free to ignore this advice!
How do you hyperlink text?
I’ll post a brief HTML lesson this weekend.
Since you guys are talking about guest-blogging, I’ll allow myself to give my opinion on several commenters’ ability to join the club. There are two things I take into consideration, first, the ability to write something interesting, readable, insightful and factual, secondly the ability to defend it in the comments section and stand endless convos.
So the best candidates, IMO would be:
-RR, the best of us.
-Myself, obviously. On many things trivial and not so trivial, more or less HBD related. Need to build up my English and not to sound too foreign though.
-meLo, if he tries to slow down on baseless speculations
-Jm8, strong on Africa-related stuff
-Phil78, needs to work a lot on the clarity of his speech
-Gypsyman, yes he rarely comes on here but he has a lot in store
Some guys could be surprising as well:
-Mug of pee, the whole character might come off as clownesque but you can get some glimpses of very original insights from him now and then. The issue is that Mr. Steinberg is one lazy mothafucka and that he’s seldom sober anyway.
-Jimmy, why not ? If he leaves Jews alone, he might have interesting things to say
-GondwanaMan, I’m torn on his case. He doesn’t sound too delusional but he’s often way off base too, I haven’t yet perceived his exceptional general knowledge that PP praises so much but I can’t wait to see. Might be good for his ego to write something people would appreciate.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m willing to guest blog but I’d like to be treated better if I ever do it again.
Also, because of my time constraints and because I like team work, I’d be interested in doing cooperative pieces with RR, Phil78, Jm8 and Gypsyman as well as thesis/antithesis posts with meLo since we do not have that many common grounds.
Afro, great ideas!
Thanks, then it’s up to people to decide if I aint too low-class to associate with their highnesses, ‘numsayin’. I could do some thesis/antithesis stuff with you too.
“if he tries to slow down on baseless speculations”
Don’t name drop me you pussy.
Name drop, drop top
Afro can suck a fat cock
I’m probably never going to make a guest post within a a macro-anecdoche and I’m sure everyone, including myself would be perfectly fine with that.
Hopefully you’ll one day feel inspired to do a guest post MeLo
You have a very unique perspective. You’re a hydrid not just racially but psychologically. Half ghetto thug, the other half science nerd.
You’re able to see & feel both sides of life in a way others can’t & it gives you a deep inner peace & mellowness hence the name meLo. It’s a gift.
“You have a very unique perspective it gives you a deep inner peace”
Not entirely wrong, I just think if you take life too seriously it can get depressing.
Either way, you’re overrating how interesting what I have to say is. I like my spot as the neighborhood contrarian. So maybe Afro’s thesis/anti-thesis Idea isn’t too bad of an idea.
“mellowness hence the name meLo”
Lol, I don’t even know why my name is meLo. Zodiac sign, middle name, favorite manga character? etc etc. it doesn’t matter because I’ve had the name since I was 12 and I don’t remember why I capitalize the L or why I spell mellow as “melo”. Ironically I actually have an energetic personality(at least in real life).
Either way, you’re overrating how interesting what I have to say is.
If it’s interesting to you, it will be interesting to someone. A lot of the stuff I blog about is incredibly boring to a lot of people.
I like my spot as the neighborhood contrarian. So maybe Afro’s thesis/anti-thesis Idea isn’t too bad of an idea.
Well if you’re ever in the mood to write an article about something, either with a co-author such as Afro or on your own, let me know.
“Name drop, drop top

I’m fucking yo’ mom she a thot thot
“You have a very unique perspective. You’re a hydrid not just racially but psychologically. Half ghetto thug, the other half science nerd.”
Don’t moderate that:
Look, I’m sure you believe you are socially savvy and that you can read people’s minds just because of your obsessive tendency to put social labels on people. In fact, social intelligence is the exact opposite, it is the ability to get over labels and appearances and to understand people’s thinking processes and emotional states so that you can predict their behaviors and influence them.
The fact that meLo’s a normal guy, who likes cool urban stuff but is also interested in evolution will show in a way I’m not sure you understand. In fact, meLo has more in common with Philibuster or you than with me and RR on the intellectual level. meLo has low standards when it comes to separating facts from speculations, he relies a bit too much on intuition and what sounds good to him, he happens to have difficulties to speak his mind clearly sometimes. On the other hand, and relative to me, he’s good at being unconventional, although I doubt it’s a good when discussing science, he’s also not as stubborn as he may look sometimes.
But meLo will never come across as insane like Phil or dorky like you, because meLo is cool and balanced. That’s what’s on the surface, but digging deeper, his post won’t be that of a Eurasian or a “half ghetto thug / half science nerd”, it will be meLo’s post with meLo’s strengths and flaws that come down to his individuality, not the labels you ascribed to him.
In fact, meLo has more in common with Philibuster or you than with me and RR on the intellectual level. meLo has low standards when it comes to separating facts from speculations, he relies a bit too much on intuition and what sounds good to him
You just think that because you don’t like his conclusions. In fact meLo’s quite good at spotting the baseless speculation of others. And the point of my comment was that MeLo DOESN’T fit conventional labels. You can’t put him in a box.
“You just think that because you don’t like his conclusions.”
No, I don’t mind his conclusions, they’re only his.
“In fact meLo’s quite good at spotting the baseless speculation of others.”
Yeah, yours. Game recognize game.
“And the point of my comment was that MeLo DOESN’T fit conventional labels. You can’t put him in a box.”
But you wouldn’t even try to if you were socially smart.
Moreover, your diagnosis is wrong, meLo isn’t a ghetto thug to begin with. He’s a regular young man who grew up under the influence of urban culture, like me and most people in my generation. And having interests in scientific topics as an amateur doesn’t make you a nerd. RR is more a science nerd than meLo for instance if you judge on how deep is his interest in HBD.
Yeah, yours. Game recognize game.
All of ours. Did you not see his response to you last night?
But you wouldn’t even try to if you were socially smart.
If you were socially smart you wouldn’t care.

Oh my God, you are so boring sometimes. I don’t literally think MeLo is a thug; you feign social wisdom by correcting obvious exaggerations.
God you remind me of my friend’s ditzy wife who has nothing to say but the politically correct obvious.
If you want to be part real urban culture, you have to man up! Or is that another stereotype? LOL!
“All of ours.”
No, only yours. It is well acknowledged that I do not make baseless speculations.
“Did you not see his response to you last night?”
Sure, I’m gonna answer when I have time.
“If you were socially smart you wouldn’t care.”
Why ? Of course I would, because I’m just advising you to not be fooled by labels and everything that’s just in facade.
Oh my God, you are so boring sometimes. I don’t literally think MeLo is a thug; you feign social wisdom by correcting obvious exaggerations.God you remind me of my friend’s ditzy wife who has nothing to say but the politically correct obvious.
If you were genuinely exaggerating, you’d have no difficulty putting meLo in another box but all-American youth.
“If you want to be part real urban culture, you have to man up! Or is that another stereotype? LOL!”
Well, I like to entertain the idea that I’m too hood… I know it’s ridiculous but it has nothing to do with my Y chromosome.
It is well acknowledged that I do not make baseless speculations.
Well, we’re going to have to agree to disagree on that point.
Why ? Of course I would, because I’m just advising you to not be fooled by labels and everything that’s just in facade.
In that case, thank you for the advice, but honestly I never thought MeLo was literally a thug, obviously. A real thug could never be my favorite r genotype. 🙂
If you were genuinely exaggerating, you’d have no difficulty putting meLo in another box but all-American youth.
In my opinion that’s not very descriptive. Anyway, I’m sure you have lots of great rebuttals as always and I get that you find my labels offensive, but that’s going to have to be the last word because I got a lot on my plate this weekend. But thanks for looking out for MeLo! You’re a good friend!
Hey my brown boy meLo, I wanna play a funny game with you. Music battle like,
vs.
If you understood the principle you can either carry the battle on responding to frankee or start another clash.
One rule, chainsaw and flute jazz are forbidden.
“low standards when it comes to separating facts from speculations, he relies a bit too much on intuition and what sounds good to him”
Actually I usually insert words like; maybe, possibly, probably, could, may have etc etc. when I am not entirely sure of a statement. In fact, when I make an assertion I don’t always provide a citation unless I feel it’s necessary. That doesn’t mean I don’t have one and 90% of the time I am able to provide evidence for my claims when pressured. Ironically(is that irony?) your opinion of me is purely speculative.
“he happens to have difficulties to speak his mind clearly sometimes. ”
You are correct.
“On the other hand, and relative to me, he’s good at being unconventional”
Can you explain more on what you mean by that?
“No, only yours. It is well acknowledged that I do not make baseless speculations.”
Well as long as we’re playing armchair psychologist.
No. It’s all of yours. Game does recognize game and I have to say that everyone’s tactics look pretty familiar. One of the reasons I disliked you and RR at first(I don’t think RR knows I used to hate him lol) is because your debating styles reminded me of a younger me which is pretty strange considering I’m younger than both of you.
Sometimes you two are exuberating this false confidence in your side of the argument, see I look back every now and then at old comments across different message boards and blogs, and I’m surprised by how coherent and professional my writing style was. At the same time I remember that even though I would post 50 links with every assertion, most of the times I had no real in depth understanding of why the study supposedly agreed with me and I would insult anybody who dared question my “knowledge” in the area. I know you’re full of shit because, I used to commit the fallacies you love to indulge daily. A lot of you forget I used to be an “antiHBDer”. It’s the opposite now that I’m older, I simply remember most of what i read, and supply a source when asked.
You like to hand wave evidence. I think it’s because you don’t actually read the scientific article or studies I present you, or you just read the abstract or “conclusion” without examining how they arrive to these conclusions. It’s not that much of an exaggeration to say that I’m correcting the haphazardly rationalized interpretations that ALL of you make on a regular basis.
It’s always a bad idea for a lion to fight a crocodile in the water. This is evident by my last response to you in RR’s post. The first flame war we had I trolled the hell out of you. Not that my insults were better or whatever, but that I basically demonstrated how hypocritic and fallacious you are by turning your egalitarian- induced logic against you.
“he’s also not as stubborn as he may look sometimes.”
RR is a lot like me. He loves to argue and hates to lose. That’s why he is “loud” about his open mindedness. The difference is I’ll rarely admit you’re right, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know that you are. I’ll continuously argue even if inside my head I completely conceded, but this is actually a good thing. This is what happened with me and pumpkin’s first discussion on sociality and resource allocation. I’m actually very open minded.
“meLo isn’t a ghetto thug to begin with. He’s a regular young man who grew up under the influence of urban culture, like me and most people in my generation.”
Well In highschool, I had frequent sex, used drugs, dressed like a wigger, and rolled in a very tribalistic(but multicultural) group, and yes i was technically a criminal. I wasn’t dumb enough to get caught, and I’ve gotten away with a lot of shit I shouldn’t have. Though nothing really violent or too crazy.
pumpkin
“In that case, thank you for the advice, but honestly I never thought MeLo was literally a thug, obviously. A real thug could never be my favorite r genotype.”
Is it really because I like big butts and black music?
I have frequent sex, but i use birth control, I don’t have “jumbo jungle junk” and I’m not really the biggest guy muscle wise or even height.
“I wanna play a funny game with you. Music battle like,”
So I just have to post a song and you have to post one with a contradicting theme?
Example:

Let’s just have a rap battle lmao.
Why did you used to dislike me.
Younger you? My confidence comes from an understanding of what I’m talking about and what I have accomplished in life.
Oh race realist I simply can’t find it in my heart to be mean to you.
You don’t always know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think it’s intentional.
Afro is a younger me in the sense that he is a smart-ass pseudo-intellectual. I just thought you were too argumentative, like me. You were one of the first HBD blogs I read(before I was an HBDer) so it left a bad taste in my mouth when i saw you on here several years later.
Now you’re just my new William.
“You don’t always know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think it’s intentional.”
Elaborate.
It’s my high testosterone. My aggressive personality can be seen through my typing style. It helps me succeed.
“You were one of the first HBD blogs I read(before I was an HBDer) so it left a bad taste in my mouth when i saw you on here several years later.”
Why?
“It’s my high testosterone. My aggressive personality can be seen through my typing style. It helps me succeed.”
LMFAO!
I’m south east asian, so that must be it. I guess that’s why I’m a contrarian.
“Why?”
I don’t know. I just thought you were a racist idiot. I got to know you more though. I even still hate rushton, lynn, and kanazawa.
“Actually I usually insert words like; maybe, possibly, probably, could, may have etc etc. when I am not entirely sure of a statement.”
Yes you do that, but you also claim that many of your alternative facts are irrefutable truths.
” In fact, when I make an assertion I don’t always provide a citation unless I feel it’s necessary.”
Same here, in actuality, there are many reasons why I don’t provide links.
1) Consumes too much time
2) Selection/confirmation bias, it’s more honest to let the other person search for the evidence that backs my claim and go through the whole literature themselves if they genuinely want to know what specialists actually think.
3) People don’t read links most often
4) Some things are so obviously true that linking to a study is lowkey insulting
5) Brown boy privilege
“Ironically(is that irony?) your opinion of me is purely speculative.”
Not entirely, it comes from my subjective perception of your debating style. But I ain’t making extraordinarily strong claims about you like PP would.
“Can you explain more on what you mean by that?”
You’re unconventional in the sense that you disagree with me as much as you disagree with PP or other traditional HBDers. Also, there are many of your opinions that you’re the only one to hold in this motherfucking world.
“Sometimes you two are exuberating this false confidence in your side of the argument”
Nah, believe me, I’m 100% confident in the robustness of everything that I bring up as a fact, and in the pertinence of my own hypotheses. Also, I hope I aint come across as a fanatical SJW because my opinions in life are very moderated. I’m too thorough to ignore nuances and details, which prevents having strong, quasi-religious positions.
“I know you’re full of shit because, I used to commit the fallacies you love to indulge daily. ”
No, I’m the least biased commenter on here as well as the most intellectually honest. Everybody knows it, including you.
“The first flame war we had I trolled the hell out of you. Not that my insults were better or whatever, but that I basically demonstrated how hypocritic and fallacious you are by turning your egalitarian- induced logic against you.”
What you don’t understand is that I quit a conversation whenever I understand that discussing with a stubborn and unreasonable person is not worth my time. You’ve been borderline in the last convo.
“Well In highschool, I had frequent sex, used drugs, dressed like a wigger, and rolled in a very tribalistic(but multicultural) group, and yes i was technically a criminal. I wasn’t dumb enough to get caught, and I’ve gotten away with a lot of shit I shouldn’t have. Though nothing really violent or too crazy.”
Yay ! Tell us some bad ass things you’ve done. Hit me up if you still need a lawyer, I could probably find you a wicked one in your area lol.
I mean we all fuck with laws, I’m possibly a sexual offender since some consider fucking a girl who’s under the influence as rape. Also, I never ask ID so I have probably slept with underage girls, iunno. Besides, I have stolen temporary road signs and cones, or many times when I’m drunk with my crew we change roadworks signs so that we close a road where nothing happens and get people to take the fucked up one. And shit like that. I’m also a fast and furious kind of dude.
I don’t see myself as a criminal though.
“So I just have to post a song and you have to post one with a contradicting theme?”
Yup, you can either post a contradictory tune or a similarly themed one, but sicker.
My answer to ilovemakonnen:
Last word, I aint a younger you, I’m your big brother and at times you’re my son when you say whatever.
Look, isn’t it amazing ? PP’s blog is becoming a mix of O, the Oprah Magazine, Forbes, TMZ, Worldstar hip-hop, Thescene.com, The Young Turks and Stormfront. Is there another place like this on the internet ? If yes, fill me in.
Well, meLo, I read the conversation on the paleolithic and I won’t carry it on because Jm8 is already schooling you. I might chime in to say “bye Felicia” when you’re tired of your nonsense.
“but you also claim that many of your alternative facts are irrefutable truths.”
I don’t see how.
“Also, there are many of your opinions that you’re the only one to hold in this motherfucking world.”
Like what?
“Nah, believe me, I’m 100% confident in the robustness of everything that I bring up as a fact, and in the pertinence of my own hypotheses”
And that there is the issue. No theoretical model in science(specifically biology and under) is a fact. You can only prove a concept to be less wrong than it was prior. This goes back to my unconventional mentality. Moderation is key with anything, and absolutism always leads to extremism. I don’t ever disagree with someone because I dislike them, RR is probably my favorite person yet we debate constantly. He’ll get frustrated but that’s because he thinks I’m trying to attack the pride in his cognition when really I’m only arguing because I think you guys are wrong.
If both sides smell of bullshit, then they’re both probably bullshit.
The difference between me an you is that I understand when I am being speculative and I thought I was making that clear to you and other users. I guess I’ll do better to make sure it’s less confusing for you guys.
“Everybody knows it, including you.”
I sure as hell don’t know that. We all have some level of confirmation bias going on here. I’m actually self aware of that though, you cling to illusions of grandeur.
“What you don’t understand is that I quit a conversation whenever I understand that discussing with a stubborn and unreasonable person is not worth my time. You’ve been borderline in the last convo.”
No I get that. Santo is somewhat smart, but I don’t respond to him because it get’s nauseating trying to decipher him every time he posts.
But I’m not santo. Pumpkin was correct, you mistake my conclusions as speculation or me being unreasonable when in reality, I refute your criticism only because it’s founded in misinterpretation of the literature.
“Yay ! Tell us some bad ass things you’ve done. Hit me up if you still need a lawyer, I could probably find you a wicked one in your area lol.”
Well one time me and couple dudes rode our bikes around and stole shit out of cars. We found a shotty, a rifle, and a Beretta in a locked box.
The mayor’s wife is my lawyer so I’m straight for now.
“And shit like that. I’m also a fast and furious kind of dude.”
Oh jeez when I first got my car I quickly found out how much of a speed demon I was.
I hate G eazy
“Last word, I aint a younger you”
You’re more like my older sister.
“I don’t see how.”
The way you take Lynn’s IQs at face value, the way you assume Paleolithic Europeans and East Asians had the same cognitive profile when no notable artifacts were found in East Asia, and so forth.
“Like what?”
I never saw anyone arguing that competing with neanderthals increased intelligence. In fact, it does not make sense at all since populations that HBD finds not so bright had to deal with them too and sometimes with Denisovans in addition.
“You can only prove a concept to be less wrong than it was prior. ”
Oh yeah, pardon my French. If you prefer, I’m 100% convinced the theories I defend have much fewer holes than those I disagree with. What you must expect from a balanced person.
“I sure as hell don’t know that. ”
Now you do.
” I refute your criticism only because it’s founded in misinterpretation of the literature.”
No, I’m closer to the specialist’s most consensual positions most of the time and I’m humble enough to avoid thinking that I could magically know better or that scholars have agendas and do not deserve my trust.
“Well one time me and couple dudes rode our bikes around and stole shit out of cars. We found a shotty, a rifle, and a Beretta in a locked box.”
Cool, the adrenaline spike must feel like crack when you do shit like that.
“Oh jeez when I first got my car I quickly found out how much of a speed demon I was.”
Savage. Where do you live ? I mean which State or metro/area, I don’t have your IP lol.
“I hate G eazy”
That’s because you’re a filthy ass racist. Listen, another dude you ain’t fond of:
“You’re more like my older sister.”
Smfh… Hurt people hurt people. It’s all forgiven shortie.

Only because you’re ignorant of the subject.
“since populations that HBD finds not so bright had to deal with them too and sometimes with Denisovans in addition.”
Well me and phil were discussing how it’s more likely that, denisovans had small numbers and the few bones that were found were in Siberia, far from the most likely admixture location. The large percentage of Denisovan dna in some Australoid groups are probably beneficial to the foreign environment.
Secondly, I could care less what the consensus is in HBD I do believe Australoids are more intelligent than they are given credit for.
“I’m 100% convinced the theories I defend have much fewer holes than those I disagree with.”
Exactly, the thing is the foundation of some beliefs you hold are not actually grounded in any logical basis. You have a false confidence. You read a lot, but your aren’t well read.
“Now you do.”
No.
“I’m closer to the specialist’s most consensual positions most of the time”
No you’re not. You bow to authority just like any other “glorified boyscout”. Experience is nearly irrelevant in theoretical science. You’re an intern. I have respect for esteemed scientists but I don’t view them as all knowing sources of knowledge, and this is because I practice the subject myself. You take the information at face value because you don’t understand what you’re reading. You are infested with confirmation bias.
“Cool, the adrenaline spike must feel like crack when you do shit like that.”
?? Not really. It’s just good business.
“Where do you live ?”
North carolina.
“That’s because you’re a filthy ass racist.”
It happens. Maybe if he wasn’t so incredibly fake.
“No I don’t. You’re just mad I think racial discrepancies have a genetic component.”
Lol, what I told you, slow down with baseless speculations. I don’t mind what you think. What I would mind is your theories being included in school curricula. But as long as it’s only you and a handful of armchair scholars, I can’t give two fucks less I just like debating. If you wanna believe in Martians and the Philosopher’s stone, it’s great for you, really.
“I showed you the opposite yesterday. Again, you hand wave evidence.”
You showed me nothing at all, just some 17 pitiful bone tools that were the first found out of Africa, not the first ever found in human history, the first out of Africa . Do you understand this not so subtle nuance ? And nothing says they are more sophisticated than the ones found in Africa some tens of thousands of years before.
Here is the only evidence you dwell on to claim east asians evolved better cognition like Europeans in order to compete with Neanderthals.
https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/06/27/oldest-bone-tools-outside-africa-discovered-china/
Try to make it through peer-review with that. Oh, I forgot, you deny that peer review is a necessary process in science… How can I take you seriously ?
“Only because you’re ignorant of the subject.”
If you’re more knowledgeable than me, you hide it well. Btw, is it me or you’re getting salty ?
“Well me and phil were discussing how it’s more likely that, denisovans had small numbers and the few bones that were found were in Siberia, far from the most likely admixture location.”
Neanderthals had very low numbers too. Denisovan remains were more likely to be found in Siberia since cold and temperate climates conserve fossils and artifacts much better the the tropical conditions of tropical Asia. The same happens in Africa where the archaeological record is mostly restricted to South Africa and Rift Valley highlands. But this, you don’t want to acknowledge it because you want to equate absent evidence with absent ability.
“Secondly, I could care less what the consensus is in HBD I do believe Australoids are more intelligent than they are given credit for.”
Can you tell me on what evidence is your belief based on or is it just because it’d fit better in your theory ?
“Exactly, the thing is the foundation of some beliefs you hold are not actually grounded in any logical basis.”
I return the compliment and direct it a thousand times at you.
“No.”
Too bad, you missed the opportunity to learn something.
“You’re an intern. I have respect for esteemed scientists but I don’t view them as all knowing sources of knowledge, and this is because I practice the subject myself. You take the information at face value because you don’t understand what you’re reading. You are infested with confirmation bias.”
meLo, I don’t know if you take anthropology classes in college but you do not come off as a specialist of anything HBD-related. You link many pop science articles, you take a lot of freedom with empirical evidence and no offence but if you have difficulty to express yourself sometimes it also means that you do not understand everything you talk about. Remember what I told you in our first feud:
Ce qui se conçoit bien s’énnonce clairement, et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.
The best test to assess your understanding of something is being able to explain it to your grandma or to your little cousin and see if they got it in depth and tell it back to you in their own words. Do you think you could do that ?
“?? Not really. It’s just good business.”
Thought you’d do it for the thrill of it.
“It happens. Maybe if he wasn’t so incredibly fake.”
Well, G-Eazy has no real street cred pretensions, he looks like a model and he’s appealing to suburban crowds.
“What I would mind is your theories being included in school curricula. ”
Children wouldn’t be able to really handle such truths, hence why you can’t except it.
” not the first ever found in human history, the first out of Africa . Do you understand this not so subtle nuance ? And nothing says they are more sophisticated than the ones found in Africa some tens of thousands of years before.”
No I showed you archaeological evidence of bone harpoons, spear points and other weapons found in china 7 thousand years before the extinction of the neanderthals. They are clearly more efficient than the ones in Africa, but again you don’t understand what makes a stone or bone tool more effective than another. i’ll tell you that detail matters. Jm8 even suggested some might be arrowheads. Honestly if you’re trying to argue this with me you should take pointers from him. He’s the only one with decent criticism of my pet theory.
“Try to make it through peer-review with that. Oh, I forgot, you deny that peer review is a necessary process in science… How can I take you seriously ?”
Pretty sure it did. I don’t deny peer review I am simply against ignoramuses such as yourself spewing misinformation.

“Btw, is it me or you’re getting salty”
It’s you lol.
“Neanderthals had very low numbers too. ”
Right, but again an absence of evidence is not evidence, it is not unreasonable to assume that denisovans had smaller number than even neanderthals, The proportionately larger percentage of admixture in Australoids suggest positive selection pressures and not an actually higher level of relative interaction. Even then, Denisovans probably displayed regional variation just like most hominins, and in more resource rich areas, social competition is not much of a selection pressure.
“Can you tell me on what evidence is your belief based on or is it just because it’d fit better in your theory ?”
Actually i believed that before Archaic admixture became a part of my idea. The migration Australia is objectively more variable and some populations are actually quite proficient in spatial tasks. Not only this but even Australian tool kits have higher complexities than some African ones.
“I don’t know if you take anthropology classes in college but you do not come off as a specialist of anything HBD-related.”
Well that doesn’t mean much coming from someone who only has shallow knowledge in numerous fields. I mean honestly that comment was so incredibly incorrect I’m beginning to hope you’re just trolling and not really that stupid.
“You link many pop science articles”
My “pop science article” almost always have actual scientific studies attached to them, and I do prefer to source real research. Unlike you, I actually read the evidence before I post it, so I am able to tell whats a garbage article and what isn’t. Most of of the links I post are 100% reliable.
“no offence but if you have difficulty to express yourself sometimes it also means that you do not understand everything you talk about.”
That just implies a verbal deficit, not a conceptual one. RR is much more verbose than me in some aspects, yet I had to explain to him what the difference between “ability” and potential” was. I also find myself having to repeat statements a lot, it can get annoying having to reword the same sentence ten times in a row. It happens a lot,especially with you. I’ll write an incredibly coherent and simplistic expression of my opinion, you misunderstand it like you usually do, and basically force me to constantly obfuscate my position. In reality, It’s not that I don’t really express myself inefficiently, You just have trouble comprehending. Which is evident by your hand waving, and delusions.
“G-Eazy has no real street cred pretensions, he looks like a model and he’s appealing to suburban crowds.”
I just don’t like his style. Too popish.
“only 2.5% of our DNA codes for phenotype. ”
Some of that exists within junk dna. Also wouldn’t you think that’s a case for it’s arbitrary usefulness? If such a small amount of dna controls phenotype how can you accurately say one animal is more genetically similar than the other?
“caused by admixture from Neanderthals from DNA caused by ancient shared ancestry with Neanderthals.”
“Neanderthals and modern humans are considered different species, and as Race Realist has pointed out, one definition of species is a population that can only produce fertile offspring with other members of its population.”
One of the issues with the phylogenetic species concept was that it’s possible African populations show older divergence because of higher populations or other events stimulating increased mutation rate, not because they are actually older. However, there are other genetic methods of testing the hypothesis and they seem to vindicate it, as does fossil evidence.
Oops, forgot to put: That different species(even with different number of chromosomes) are able to produce offspring, it does happen in nature, it’s just very very rare.

With a black guy?
Lol no. He’s Italian.
Hum, I totally ship Deal and RR.
RR once posted a pic of his body. He looks good. I bet he’s handsome

“RR once posted a pic of his body. He looks good. I bet he’s handsome”
You brown folks are each other’s type, plus you both have substance abuse issues so that’s one thing you can share together.
So I validate Deal with Race Realist.
i found this picture of RR.
just sad!
I love thick luscious East African ladies, but isn’t there maybe too many of them reproducing? Like at some point, I wonder if East Africans are like, “I’m starving to death, maybe I should stop fucking and popping out spawn.”
I can count the number of thick Asian women I’ve seen in my life on one hand.
I managed to find one thick hyper-fuckable Korean chick with fake boobs once, but she was like one in a million. Tight pussy though, her Korean partners must swim inside her now, or perhaps she does black GIs in Korea.
i’m 100% certain the faggy looking teenager in this vid is afro.

jesus christ mofos.
all those extra kcals will REDUCE the somalis’ life expectancy.
cancer rates in the OECD:
lowest is greece.
because greeks are all eating out of garbage bins?
maybe.
they live longer than americans.
this is all status bull shit.
the BIG question for health freaks and everyone else is…
how to reduce cancer risk to near zero.
how to do this is known…for athero.
that is, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, etc. are 100% preventable…or at least 99%.
hence RR will counsel so many, and then he himself may still die from some cancer before age 65…
just like the s italian genius aquinas. (who IS the best candidate for world’s smartest human ever…btw…and it’s not even close.)
this is what’s so dumb about fitness as a business. including Weight Watchers.
the difference in life expectancy between those who do everything right and those who do almost everything wrong is at most 10 years.
more like 3 years.
but who’s counting?
anyway. yes. the highest IQ human ever was the s italian thomas aquinas.
“how to reduce cancer risk to near zero.”
Intermittent fasting looks great. Though I await longitudinal studies on the matter as well as ones with large sample sizes.
“that is, heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, etc. are 100% preventable…or at least 99%.”
Not necessarily. . .
The study randomly assigned 5,145 overweight or obese people with Type 2 diabetes to either a rigorous diet and exercise regimen or to sessions in which they got general health information. The diet involved 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day for those weighing less than 250 pounds and 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day for those weighing more. The exercise program was at least 175 minutes a week of moderate exercise.
But 11 years after the study began, researchers concluded it was futile to continue — the two groups had nearly identical rates of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular deaths.
[…]
But the outcome is clear, said Dr. David Nathan, a principal investigator and director of the Diabetes Center at Massachusetts General Hospital. “We have to have an adult conversation about this,” he said. “This was a negative result.”
Damn…
I have the full study on my desktop I believe. Will provide it in a bit.
“hence RR will counsel so many, and then he himself may still die from some cancer before age 65…”
Hope not! I do everything in my power to be healthy inside and out. Though my knowledge on this matter doesn’t leave me too optimistic. . .
“this is what’s so dumb about fitness as a business. including Weight Watchers.”
Fitness as a business is dumb because it’s used as a revolving door. They want the same people in and out. I fucking tell people “Look, you’re going to be working with me for x amount of time. If you want it bad enough, you’ll listen to everything I tell you to. You will call/email me with any questions.” I am thorough with my work. I am trying to give this business a better name and not be a piranha like a majority of the people who do this.
I HATE BIG FOOD SHILLS.

Of course WWs loves the calorie model of obesity too. . . .
“the difference in life expectancy between those who do everything right and those who do almost everything wrong is at most 10 years.”
That’s a nice chunk of life gained.
I’ll look into this this weekend. Maybe blog about it.
“anyway. yes. the highest IQ human ever was the s italian thomas aquinas.”
Why do you say this?
On the bright side, my family lives to about 80, and we look damn young! I’m 28 and look 20. Feels good.
But surely we have to keep weight down for health reasons? That’s another myth. Aamodt says lifestyle choices are far more important to maintaining health than weight. She cites a study that measured the risk of death over a 14-year period based on four healthy habits: eating fruits and vegetables, getting exercise, not smoking, and drinking in moderation. For someone who is overweight and who practices no healthy habits, the risk of death is high, but adopting just one good habit brings that person back within normal range. (Note that this is true for overweight people, not obese people. For obese people, it takes all four habits to bring them back into a normal range.) And regardless of weight, for those who adopted the four healthy habits, weight makes very little difference to health. The message: if it’s really health you’re worried about, you can take control by adjusting your lifestyle.

http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/24/perceptions-of-required-ability-act-as-a-proxy-for-actual-required-ability-in-explaining-the-gender-gap/
A lot of stuff on SATs measuring actual aptitude in there
that guy banned me after i pointed out he was retarded fag.
Maybe he banned you because you’re a fucking moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about so he has to resort to strawman attacks and petty insults.
Compare yourself to any HBD blogger out there and none of them are as pathetic as you are. Not even pumpkinperson.
Whoa dude, who the fuck are you, Mugabe is highly respected (on some blogss) for his unique counter-intuitive insights. Youre just some random dude. Shut the fuck.
PP, maybe you should shut some of these people down.
Indeed, this Carlito kid should stick to posting links to studies and random blogposts he doesn’t understand. This is already ridiculous but anything else from him is just cringy.
Yeah that 10 year gap is wrong. People die of health related reasons like heart attacks or pneumonoa and so on that dont get traced to the fundamentals.
Also the quality of life is awful.
This is another way of saying dont be an alco like our colleague.
@hymie
what exactly do you mean by “trading”?
excluding market making qua “trading”.
my understanding was that IB traders have “superior information”, and hence their trading has a positive expected return…
but when they trade in areas they don’t have superior info they don’t make money…even though they have “superior people”.
” my understanding was that IB traders have “superior information”, and hence their trading has a positive expected return… ”
The ones that have access to the federal reserve have ” superior information” .
The jews always get a heads up from many sectors when something is about to go down.
The IB that i work for asked me to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
” but when they trade in areas they don’t have superior info they don’t make money…even though they have “superior people”. ”
It depends on the year. Some years are great some are good and some are bad.
T1 IBs make more money than the rest because they can buy the best people.
As someone who is obsessed with test scores its a mystery why you never joined the major league.
IBs and hedge funds use aptitude tests that highly resemble the GRE with the only difference being that they have a Ravens matrices section.
Are you bad at interviews?
I find it impossible to believe that someone who has a perfect GRE, a 1570 SAT and a Math degree couldn’t get a job as a trader.
If what you claim is true then you should be making bank.
i have never interviewed with an investment bank. i have never applied. i have never been recruited. you’d like to think they recruit the highest test scores. but they don’t. not in america. in britain i expect it’s different as the whole country is supported by “the city”. in the US the first screen is an elite degree/credential. the second might be test scores, but only for technical people.
paul young, london young, gs partner, asked me over shoe’s blog to meet him for drinks if i lived in the nyc or london area. he was probably drunk. i would’ve pursued it if i lived in those areas. herr london young is a bit autistic, like shoe.
http://hertzfoundation.org/dx/fellows/fellow_profile.aspx?d=10816
and he’s not a jew. or so he claims.
He looks Jewy to me.
” in the US the first screen is an elite degree/credential”
Either you are really ignorant or you’re just making excuses for yourself.
Your SAT score is by far and away the number one factor when it comes to most hedge funds and IBs.
Obviously the top ones are going to pick a Berkeley grad over a Fordham grad.
What smart people from low ranked colleges do is start off at a lower level place and then get a solid track record of making money then apply to one of the big boys.
At the T1 IB that i currently work at there is a guy who went to Rutgers and another that went to UIUC and i know people from BP who went to worse colleges.
Oh and i was never once asked for my high school or college GPA.
The whole ” GPA matters the most in America” thing is just something that you made up to feel sorry for yourself.
Tell me the name of your undergrad college and i’ll let you know if i have colleagues who went there.
The idea that Hedge funds or IBs would refuse to hire the smartest people is something that only a mentally ill person would say.
The idea that Hedge funds or IBs would refuse to hire the smartest people is something that only a mentally ill person would say.
but TRUE nonetheless.
IBs and hedge funds may think they recruit the smartest, but they don’t.
lion, pill, and i understand this. you don’t.
the ineluctable conclusion is that you aren’t who you say you are, or you’re just stupid.
Mug of Pee, do you have to personally & viciously attack everyone who doesn’t agree with you on every subject? Philosopher doesn’t do that. What the fuck is wrong with you?
I find it impossible to believe that someone who has a perfect GRE, a 1570 SAT and a Math degree couldn’t get a job as a trader.
just as you find it impossible to believe that the crash in oil prices (near month CL = $26) resulted from a saudi attempt to bankrupt shale oil producers, but easy to believe the US state department commanded saudi to let it flow in order to punish russia.
you’re paranoid and not that bright hymie. your social intelligence is especially low.
the truth doesn’t care what you believe hymie.
1. rutgers is in the nyc area.
2. uiuc has a respected CS dept. ellison, andreessen, and another guy i can’t remember.
actuarial employers turned me down because of my gpa and that i didn’t live in the area even though i’d made the high score on the first exam of 1600 people who sat it. and my gpa wasn’t that bad. it just wasn’t great. it was between a b and a b-, but my most frequent grade was a.
you’re living in a fantasy world where all the powerful people know what they’re doing. they don’t. this is obvious to all children who aren’t autistic.
the american regime selects the best no more efficiently than the north korean regime, and its fuhrers are equally oblivious to their living in a regime which could be otherwise than it is.

You keep mis-interpreting that Steve Hsu study. The study showed that those with 800 SAT Math had a 100% likelihood of getting above a 3.5 GPA in math coursework. But they didn’t necessarily have 4.0 GPAs.
It’s like watching a retardate running into a wall, repeatedly.
” You keep mis-interpreting that Steve Hsu study. ”
And what on earth does that have to do with my point?
It is literally impossible for someone to average a B- on a math degree at a bush league college unless they have a non-genius level IQ.
I dont know what you majored in at college but i can tell you from first hand experience that math is not about hard work its pure logic.
” It’s like watching a retardate running into a wall, repeatedly.”
Stoakynik is Steinberg’s desperation persona.
After seeing his entire world view shattered in one post he is unable to respond.
I think he’s going to lie low for a while until this embarrassing episode is forgotten.
then he’ll come back and tell us about his ” Life is not fair ” doctrine.
you sound retarded and paranoid as usual hymie.
just sad!
my math gpa was over 3.5. i’ve never lied about my test scores. those are what they were.
it’s your worldview that has been shattered. but what happens, especially with paranoid schizos like you hymie, is that whatever the evidence is doesn’t matter. you can always simply deny reality.
whatever opportunities those mickey mouse college people had, i didn’t have them.
hymie puts a lot of time into his bullshit.
whatever the reason it’s sad.
just sad!
iirc my math gpa was significantly higher than my overall gpa. i’ve never lied about my test scores.
it’s your worldview which has been shattered. it’s you who keeps making shit up. but what happens, especially with paranoid schizos like you hymie, is that whatever the evidence is doesn’t matter. you will always simply deny reality.
whatever opportunities those mickey mouse college people had, i didn’t have them. none of them was a math major. it looks like all of them have the CFA.
hymie puts a lot of time into his bullshit. so one must ask why?
whatever the reason, it’s sad.
just sad!
and it is true that hymie detracts from this blog a great deal. he’s repellant in every way. morally, intellectually, and i presume physically. but this is typical of the people in his line of work obviously.
what shoe’s study actually found at a mickey mouse college:
1. dumb people like hymie could still get a 4.0. it was just less likely in physics and math.
2. the single highest combined SAT score in his study (or one of them) had a C+ gpa. http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2010/04/dating-mining-university.html
3. the other study was only for the three quarters of “introductory physics” not the whole course. AND to have a 50% chance of GPA > 3.5 requires SAT-M in the top few percent of the population.
the bottom line is that even at a cow college grades are poorly correlated with IQ as measured by SAT…and i expect the correlation is much lower still for the WAIS or other “official” IQ tests…and the correlation goes down from intro to graduate level courses.
it’s time for hymie’s cyber-execution.
i think i may have misunderstood prof shoe’s post. apparently he was using cumulative in major gpa and was just using one quarter of introductory physics as an example.
furthermore he defines gpa as % As.
in that case i did have a very high math gpa. i also got a lot of As in the 2/3ds of my classes which were not math classes. retarded people like hymie imagine that with a B to B- gpa one must have got mostly Bs and a few Cs. no. i got all the grades from A to F. and starting at A each was less frequent than the last. that is the mode of my grades was A.
so:
my grades are perfectly consistent with both of these studies. social retardates like hymie believe that getting good grades at a cow college is easier. ha! he fails to grasp how unmotivating it is to know everyone else in your class is so much dumber. no competition.
hymie knows nothing about higher mathematics. yet another indication that he’s just another peepee sockpuppet. higher mathematics grading can actually be quite subjective. one of my professors thought it was the most subjective of any subject. the reason is it’s all about proofs, not plug and chug. so a typical math exam paper is like a series of essays. also it’s generally the rule that students work on their homework together and find it impossible to do by themselves. i always worked alone.
Math is not about hard work. It’s pure logic
step 1 , step 2 , step 3
if it’s baby math that’s true. otherwise it’s the opposite of the truth.
what higher math is really about is the right preparation. so math SAT indicates preparation starting college as would the AP exams. but if you miss one step you’ll be in over your head no matter how smart you are.
what a high IQ predicts is that one will retain what he has learned for long periods because he has understood it, assimilated it, made it part of his own mind, rather than just memorized it for the test. that is, if there were a test at the end of university as there is in most of the world one’s score on this would be much more correlated with IQ than an american gpa. the GRE subject tests for example. i guarantee scores are better correlated with IQ than gpa. much better.
plus grade inflation doesn’t exist much at cow colleges. it’s almost exclusively an elite school phenomenon.
I forgot about this.
you made the claim that you needed an elite alma mater to make it and your claim was completely destroyed.
I gave you a list of people who went to bush league colleges and are now making millions at JP Morgan.
JP Morgan is in the elite of the elite
you didn’t give me the name of your undergrad college because you know that i’ll find an old boy at a T1 IB or a major HF .
just admit that you make stuff up.
” higher mathematics grading can actually be quite subjective ”
That makes it easier.
with math problem sheets you can haggle for marks.
I had a prof at Berkeley who looked at one of my classmates answers and said ” show me something that looks somewhat correct ”
and that’s a Berkeley where the grading is notoriously hard
the more subjective the grading is the more chances you have of scoring higher than you deserve.
That’s doubly true if you are a woman……….
” the SAT indicates preparation starting college as would the AP exams. but if you miss one step you’ll be in over your head no matter how smart you are. ”
Your SAT score, that was the product of insane prepping and ~7 tries, made you think that you were smarter than you are.
When you saw real college work you freaked out and fell into ” life’s not fair ” mode.
also un-believably telling, but WAY over prof shoe’s head.

Also juve are still rigging games.
Inter napoli and milan were shafted by the refs. Just like 2006 the tv presenters are in on it. The biggest revelation from caliopoli was how tv presenters werent allowed ahow replays of pen incidents or showed vage angles.
A conapiracy of the scale i suggest of zion is easily imaginable.
To be fair italy does have a serious track record. Unlike greece it did it again with the renaissance. A good question is why italy became a low trust clannish nation. My experience with italian women and italian brazilians is that they are very open and not clannish. Seems to be just the guys.
Berlusconi is a bastard. But hes our bastard. Zion removed him to get the borders open to afrs love objects.
Moggi looks jewish. This backs up rrs scholarship of jew italian admixture. It even explains how italians invented banks and did will in marine trade for so long.
” Res theory of jew italian admixture explains high italian iq, . ”
Northern Italians have high IQ because they mixed with jews ?!?!
Oh Phil ……….
you have become a caricature of a HBD cultist
“Northern Italians have high IQ because they mixed with jews ?!?!”
Jews have a high IQ because they mixed with Romans 2000 ya. Partly, anyway. See Cochran et al’s theory for the remainder.

Philosopher,
Did you not see my video.
You haven’t diagnosed me yet.
Jimmy says I need adderall,
that means I have ADD right?
Screw Big Pharma drugs. Adderall will turn you into a robot.
Source: me
Illuminaticat,
No one on here can help you. Especially not the Philosopher. He’s the most evil person on this blog and may even try to destroy you.
Your nutrition is very poor. You need to start weightlifting and getting out into the sun.
Also consider consulting a dietician and supplementing with iron, greens formula and vitamin complexes.
You have aspergers.
Why am i evil gondwana?
Adderall is great, I enjoyed it. I’m about to schedule a visit to a psycho to get some more.
As a far as the Philosopher, just on principle I don’t like taking advice from people who actively proffer it. Advice-giving people (health gurus, counselors, religious leaders, psychologists, economic forecasters) tend to be sociopaths. The implications behind them offering their services is: I’m smarter than you! You need me to be happier. Without me, you will suffer. That’s bullshit.
I think Race Realist means well with his advice but the Philsopher does not. The Philosopher is a mountebank/charlatan of the highest order. His schizophrenia/autism theory is bullshit, it’s just re-packaging of alpha/beta bullshit from PUA blogs. He’s been fired fourteen times and he’s sexually assaulted many women. His obsession with conspiracy theories is just a projection of his own deviant and prurient mind.
I would again advise you take some time off from the Internet, AnimeKitty. It’s a jungle out here with lions, and you’re just a kitty cat.

Brilliant trashing from my brown boy Gman ! 💯^💯❗
Sorry, you guys are too dark to be brown boys, but you, G-Man, Mikey and Phil (not to be confused with philosopher) can start a black boy band. 🙂
As a Latin man, my ethnic labels have very broad definitions.
Brown boy/girl = Non-Nordic person with swag.
adderall is great in a way…for everyone…whether they have an attention deficit or not.
but call it amphetamine or speed.
“adderall” is just a trade name.
i tried it. no matter how little i took. even if i took it in the morning. it ruined my sleep. i conned my doctor into prescribing it for depression. it used to be the therapy.
i’d only take it if i were a soldier on the front lines. otherwise its effect is un-pleasant. at least for me.
He’s the most evil person on this blog…
only the most evil person on this blog would say that.
`”I need adderall,”
No you don’t. It’s legal meth.
Adderall is the real deal.
I learned the entire C++ programming language in just 3 days on Adderall.
Adderall/Ritalin/dexedrin etc doesn’t make you smarter it just gives you mega focus by boosting dopamine.
Whenever i had a tight deadline in college i would just pop an adderall and work for 10 hours straight. It was my insurance policy.
Cat, my advice for you would be to go on youtube and find some tutorials for programming languages and then take some Adderall and then go at it.
Don’t do it for longer than 6 months. Just learn Java, Python and C++ and then quite the Adderall.
Trust me that stuff, at the right dose, will make you go for hours and hours.
Your problem is that you need a job and the quickest way to get a job without a college degree is to learn a skill and there is no better skill than coding.
once you get a job and have money in your pocket you’ll have a lot more confidence.
It would be great if jimmy wrote a guest post on career advice.
Adderall is garbage. Don’t take it.
Not sure if you will see my other message but I have a question.
What is your experience with autistic people philosopher?
What do you expect from such people?
Kitty it’s fine that you’re asking philosopher’s opinion. He’s a very smart guy with good instincts, BUT he trusts those instincts way too much which often leads him to wrong conclusions. It’s okay to use him as a rough guide, but don’t take him too seriously.
Even famous specialists in the field don’t understand conditions like autism. They used to think it was a form of schizophrenia & now some think it’s the opposite & the DSM recently decided there’s no such thing as aspergers. Philosopher thinks it’s related to low T but Simon barron-Cohen thinks it’s caused by high T, at least prenatally. The science is very much in its infancy
I dont expect anything. What do you expect from schiz?
Aspergers have a much easier life. If you woke up one day with my mind you would want to swap back and take the blue pill.
The red pill should never be given to children.
Pumpkon is wrong. Autism is a definite condition. Its linked to civilisation. And it differs by race. The longer civilised you are the more it turns up in the population.
But india may be an exception. Ive never been but i assume its tech industry is linked to autism spectrum.
It could be many conditions called by one name or there could be many types of autism.
Middle East has had civilization the longest & you consider them schizophrenic
A person I know who is 170 IQ said that autism is when the local connectivity is so dense that local signals create so much noise that long distances signals are unable to get through. So local noise blocks external signals. Autism is a problem of perception. Sensory stimulus is unable to be processed correctly. This is what lead to poor theory of mind. If you have problems perceiving people you cannot build models of them in your mind. You have infantile understanding of intentions and can’t figure people out.
Schizophrenia is the opposite. The connectivity in Schizophrenia is too thin. Signals are hyper-amplified. Autism is when you don’t know what is happening because of noise. Schizos get spikes that lead to perceived intentions. That is why paranoid schizos see threats everywhere. And other schizos see patterns everywhere. The hyper-application of pattern recognition is because of thin connectivity.
Philosopher has problems with hyper-amplification.
I have problems with noise and not knowing what is going on.
That could be the reason I don’t draw good.
I don’t see enough patterns to feel the need to draw.
I said before that when I close my eyes I can’t see anything.
When I asked my mom to see a cat in her head she could do so. I can’t.
In my dreams everything is very dark and I am unaware in a stupor.
I think that maybe if I meditate more and eat right I could eliminate the noise and have better perceptions. But noise does reduce your ability for pattern recognition.
Yes exactly Anime. This colleague of yours has the correct description. Its the neural wiring. I remember a few years ago a paper in Nature I think mentioning how autists have a certain amount more of a type of protein deposit in between neural connections. This explains the hyper magnification of autism into the smallest details of a topic while losing track of the overall schema of how things relate.
And maybe you could say schiz is the opposite where you are aware of the ‘meta-level’ – even supernatural or exotic phenomenon too much.
The interesting question is whether these phenomena do exist. Schizos tend to believe a lot more in ‘higher powers’. I would characterise myself as a deist. I do believe everything has a purpose. That there is a wider Narrative.
Autistic people tend to take things as ‘just so’. And see the world concretely as it is received.
Yes, that’s the best way to tell – what do you think about at night before you sleep. How vivid is your imagination. Autists do not have imaginations. They don’t fantasise much.
Your friend is a neuroscientist or aspergers scholar I imagine.
The pillosopher is at it again, making up stuff.

You got to face it, you’re one lazy ass mofo’, but that’s fine. You say striving to elevate yourself in society is low-class.
Not at all: if you’re poor or middle class it is vital to want to become something, otherwise you’re just a slave to the system or some useless welfare hoodlum. What’s low class is forgetting where you came from once you’ve made it.
If you’re from the old money, you have the need to be more than just well born with a prestigious name. You need to have your own accomplishments that you can take personal pride in. Only a girl can accept to become nothing more than a heir and trophy wife.
And your opinions are often very lazy mug of pee, no surprise you’re a groupie of Trump and Le Pen. Only a lazy thinker can agree with them. And you don’t have the excuse of ignorance, you know way too many things to have some of your redneck opinions. Although your level of general knowledge is satisfying, you need to update your software, we’re in 2017, son.
yes afro we have very different views regarding:
1. virtue and vice
2. what makes some countries rich and others poor, and what makes some people rich and others poor.
3. human potential.
4. the hospitable-ness of the natural world.
needless to say, i am right and you are wrong.
you’re an american, and i’m french. surprising but true. had you been adopted by a north korean family you would be ranting about the wise leader kim jong un. just sad!
Estimates of the percentage of the population of Italy who were slaves range from 30 to 40 percent in the 1st century BC, upwards of two to three million slaves in Italy by the end of the 1st century BCE, about 35% to 40% of Italy’s population.
with the end of chattel slavery and the industrial revolution has come 95% are slaves.
as my dear leader might say, “not good.”
striving is so not roman catholic.
Roman Catholicism contributed a lot to the end of slavery in Europe. African slavery was somewhat softer in Latin America, especially when it comes to the slave’s ability to acquire property and buy his freedom. Benevolent manumissions were also much more comment than in the Anglo system and people with obvious afro features could attain very high positions in society and pass for white.
Why am I talking about that ?
Oh yeah. Remember. Yes the Catholic church teaches that chasing paper distracts from focusing on god, that a Christian has to be humble like Christ and stuff. But see, the Catholic church also considers sloth to be a capital sin and industriousness and charity a virtue. You can’t be charitable if you do not strive to make money to share with those who need.
Being “slothful” in the RC sense is not the same as being lazy.
You can’t be charitable if you do not strive to make money to share with those who need.
that’s, like, totally fucking dumb.
Sloth, definition from wiktionary
sloth (countable and uncountable, plural sloths)
(uncountable) Laziness; slowness in the mindset; disinclination to action or labour. [quotations ▲]
Milton
[They] change their course to pleasure, ease, and sloth.
Franklin
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labour wears.
(countable) A herbivorous, arboreal South American mammal of the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, noted for its slowness and inactivity.
(rare) A collective term for a group of bears.
“that’s, like, totally fucking dumb.”
That’s, like, totally my fucking purpose in life.
the problem is bad people afro, not good people who don’t strive. germans work the fewest hours in the OECD, yet they call the greeks “lazy”. i doubt north korea is poor because its people are lazy. mt parents found that the poor brazilians were very hard working.
material progress comes from talented and curious people doing their own thing not from striving.
and one may work very hard at stupid and destructive things. again, the problem is not the population as a whole. it never is. the problem is an evil fraction of the population that ruins it for everyone else.
if you don’t need it, don’t want it.
It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
“germans work the fewest hours in the OECD, yet they call the greeks “lazy”.”
Well, the Germans are right, I’m quite knowledgeable on Mediterranean nonchalance, I’m an example of it. You know, the number of hours worked means nothing, you’d be appalled by the amount of cheating, tardiness, slacking off and lack of professionalism that is acceptable in Club Med countries. That’s why Nordics call us lazy. And on top of that, we have short fuses, we’re on strike and borderline rioting whenever a government finds it reasonable to bring more seriousness and accountability in our work culture.
“the problem is an evil fraction of the population that ruins it for everyone else.”
This. I’m on board, and that’s why I find blaming people for the state of their country is pathetic. I laugh whenever some white nationalist asshole says France/America/Britain is gonna become Brazil. Brazil’s problem is not its blacks and browns, it’s its pale selfish and corrupt elite. The mass’s responsibility is to acknowledge that they are being fooled and to revolt.
Every country that has issues has leadership issues in its political, administrative and business sectors before anything else. This is why Club Med countries, in spite of our obviously un-competitive behaviors actually have better standards of living than Germanic countries, our leadership is less Darwinian.
But since we talk about sloth, it’s sort of slothful to work your tiring and ungrateful nine to five, not trying to get a larger share of the cake by outsmarting the established order.
You could avoid quoting the bible in a profane language. Here is the only bible I read.
Matthæus 6:
26 respicite volatilia caeli quoniam non serunt neque metunt neque congregant in horrea et Pater vester caelestis pascit illa nonne vos magis pluris estis illis
27 quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum
28 et de vestimento quid solliciti estis considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt non laborant nec nent
29 dico autem vobis quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis
30 si autem faenum agri quod hodie est et cras in clibanum mittitur Deus sic vestit quanto magis vos minimae fidei
Anyhow, I do not share your reading of these verses. They are a warning against futile cares and self-consciousness rather than a celebration of idleness and utter carelessness.
As for the graph. GDP/capita does not equal income. You must take inequality and wage share into consideration to have a clearer overview of a country’s different classes’ standards of living. And obviously, there is a biological limit to life expectancy, the relationship can’t be linear, it has to stall at some point.
Nordics work the least because they are the most productive.
productivity = Value created/ hours of labor
Calling the greeks unproductive would be more accurate .
The only way you could ever change the situation in Europe is with a German conquest of Europe.
That will never happen so the EU will fail.

” Brazil’s problem is not its blacks and browns, it’s its pale selfish and corrupt elite ”
If the blacks and browns didn’t exist in Brazil then you and i both know that Brazil would be a first world country.
Brazil is very lucky to have a ” pale” elite. Can you imagine a nation run by favela people?
Nah, I’d be like Argentina and Uruguay or Spain and Portugal before they joined the European Union, a corrupt Iberian mess. In fact, Brazil is equally developed and is about equally unequal as Argentina.
White-Brazilians are superior to whites anywhere else in south america because Brazil has millions of German/Nordic people.
The richest man in Brazil is of Swiss decent and i remember that the former richest man was half-German.
The spanish culture in Argentina and Uruguay was not welcoming to Nordics while Brazil was wide open for German immigration.
I’m not knocking Argentina and Uruguay as i’ve been to both and loved it.
A fully white Brazil would definitely be a first world country on the level of Italy.
It could never reach a northern european standard but it would be a great place.
.
There have been sizable immigration from the German lands in Argentina, Chile and even Paraguay, less in Uruguay. Argentina and Chile have welcomed proportionally more immigrants from Greater France, the Low Countries, the British Islands and Slavic Europe than Brazil. And of course, Argentine and Uruguayan whites are whiter than Brazilian whites.
But the bulk of immigrants in all countries has come from Italy, Spain and Portugal. There are significant German settlements in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana but you can’t tell me these three states are like first world countries and that they offer better standards of living than the best areas of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. Moreover, the most highly rated ethnicity in terms of work ethics and business skills is the Basque, not the Germans.
Also, there is nothing like a “Northern European standard”
There is:
-Scandinavia: welfare paradise, fiscal hell
-The British Isles: humane laissez-faire that keeps a significant ultra-trash white underclass.
-The German Lands: intermediate between Scandinavia and Britain in terms of welfare, good employer-employee negotiations in manufacturing, savage capitalism in the service sector , indecent amount of working-poors.
-The Low Countries: A more Scandinavian-Like type of German model with a more service-oriented economy.
PS: Argentina and Chile have been more or less British puppet states during the era of mass migration, no Iberian anti-German sentiment there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Argentine
8% of Argentines claim German ancestry, that’s about one third of the figure in the US, but in Brazil, they say Germans accounted for 15-20% of immigrants to the three Gaucho states and less than 5% in the rest of the country, including São Paulo, the economic engine of the country.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Brazilians
” there is nothing like a “Northern European standard” ”
I was referring the quality of life indicators like per capita gdp .
” no Iberian anti-German sentiment there ”
The most productive Germans are protestant.
Catholics especially catholics of old are very anti-protestant.
as someone in France you should know that very well.
The most German city in Brazil is 66% protestant.
As i said if Brazil had a white-only policy then they would be a first world country like Italy.
The southern euros in Argentina and Uruguay are of a lower caliber than those back home.
I have been to both Argentina and Uruguay and i would not call them third world at all.
I would say that they were high second world.
If the government subsidized multivitamins in Argentina and Uruguay they would become first world countries within 20-25 years.
“I was referring the quality of life indicators like per capita gdp . ”
GDP per capita is not a quality of life indicator at all. It is barely an economic one since it is flawed by natural resource endowment, the share of working age population, exchange rate, PPP…
On meaningful indicators like wealth per adult or life expectancy, Southern European countries, especially France and Italy outperform most Nordic countries. And France’s GDP per capita is close to that of Germany.
“as someone in France you should know that very well.”
Don’t be afraid to call me French, that’s how we call the citizens of this country.
Anti-Protestantism faded away in France by the time of the Revolution when France was transitionning to secularism. During the settlement of Algeria, Germans and Swiss migrants were highly rated, and not just the Catholic ones. And to the people of Latin America, the German was praised for his high fertility, industriousness, his honesty and of course, his überwhite appearance. Also, German immigration was more rural than that of Italians or Irish. The German was some sort of ideal middle age peasant.
“The most German city in Brazil is 66% protestant.”
But as a whole, there is only 1 million of Lutherans in Brazil, I couldn’t find figures for Calvinists and Mennonites but it must be much less. Anglo-Saxon denominations are virtually absent in the German Lands.
Also, you’re oblivious of the fact that Catholic Germany (Rheinland, Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Austria and some areas of Switzerland) is the economic powerhouse of Europe. Not the ex-Hanseatic and Protestant north, let alone the ex-DDR.
“I have been to both Argentina and Uruguay and i would not call them third world at all.”
Neither is Brazil, I have a friend in São Paulo, the city is ugly but he says it’s just as messy as Naples and Marseilles.
“If the government subsidized multivitamins in Argentina and Uruguay they would become first world countries within 20-25 years.”
Seeing how you manage your own spending, we’ll ask someone else for development advice.
” GDP per capita is not a quality of life indicator at all ”
GDP per capita is much more reliable than so called wealth per adult because privacy laws make it impossible for such statistic to be gathered without self reported figures.
There are a few exceptions( resources etc) but per capita GDP is a better measure.
” Also, you’re oblivious of the fact that Catholic….. ”
The industrial revolution started in protestant England
The government lead industrialization of Germany happened under a Protestant monarchy.
Otto Von Bismark , the first German chancellor, also played a major role and he was protestant too. In fact, the entire Prussian then German establishment has been protestant for nearly half a millennium (1525).
if you look at the post-war chancellors of Germany you’ll find that 6 out of 9 were protestant.
the vast majority of the innovation and entrepreneurship that carried Europe into modernity was spearheaded by protestants.
The protestant influence was so great that it was the inspiration for Max Weber’s famous book on the protestant work ethic.
” Don’t be afraid to call me French ”
But you don’t even look French.
“GDP per capita is much more reliable ”
Because you think all businesses report their value added ? In France and Italy, a significant part of the economy is informal whereas Nordics have a tendency to cook the books so that they have good stats. And you also believe value added is the only source of income ? You’re out of it.
Someone like me, or someone like you earn more from our wealth than from our salary. And anyway, Latins live longer, this is worth all the money in the world.
“The industrial revolution started in protestant England”
Anglican to be accurate, which is closer to Catholicism than to Lutheranism or Calvinism in the mindset.
“The government lead industrialization of Germany happened under a Protestant monarchy.”
It happened quite a bit after the industrialization of Catholic France and Belgium. Prussia managed to lead the German Empire because it beat Austria whose former Catholic allies (Bayern, Baden and Württemberg) found themselves marginalized. Along with Catholicism being the religion of oppressed minorities like the French and Poles, Catholicism couldn’t win the Kulturkampf. But the Kulturkampf was never a Protestantism vs. Catholicism clash, it was an attempt by Bismarck to use secularism in order to decrease the influence of the Catholic Church in the German Empire.
“In fact, the entire Prussian then German establishment has been protestant for nearly half a millennium (1525).”
Prussia has not been the leader of the German lands for so long, it started to challenge Austria’s supremacy in the late 18th century. But the Catholic Habsburg dinasty has ruled the Holly Roman Empire of The German Nation from the late middle ages until the Napoleonic conquest of the German lands. It’s only after the defeat of Sadowa (1862 IIRC) that Austria was excluded from German matters.
“Germany you’ll find that 6 out of 9 were protestant.”
Adenauer = Catholic from Rheinland
Erhard = Lutheran from Bayern
Kiesinger = Catholic from Württemberg
Brandt = Lutheran from the Hanseatic City of Lübeck
Scheel = Lutheran from Rheinland
Schmidt = Lutheran from the Hanseatic City of Hamburg
Kohl = Catholic from Palatinate
Angela Merkel = Lutheran from the Hanseatic City of Hamburg
There is an over representation of Lutherans (the breakdown in Germany is about 50% Catholic, 50% Protestant) But you can also see that they managed to have an equal representation of Southern and Northern Germans, which mattered more. And Lutherans tended to be more urbanized than Catholics, this in addition to the legacy of Kulturkampf which tended to marginalize Catholics in German society. Anyhow, Lutherans aren’t a better breed of Germans.
“the vast majority of the innovation and entrepreneurship that carried Europe into modernity was spearheaded by protestants.”
Not so vast, France has been and is still one of Europe’s leading innovator, Italy too to a lesser extent (think of Volta), and the Low Countries as well as the Austrian Empire have made significant contributions to the industrial revolutions. It’s only Spain and Portugal that were going through a deep crisis in the 19th century, but Scandinavia was just as desperate at that time.
“But you don’t even look French.”
Ethnicity is not about how you look, it’s about how you think and how you act.
“Nordics have a tendency to cook the books so that they have good stats ”
Its extremely difficult for publicly traded companies to ” cook the books” especially in the big data era where anyone can spot anomalies with a click of a mouse.
One of the jobs of analysts at Hedge funds and IBs is to look for patterns and anomalies.
I remember years ago there was a meeting where we talked about China and an analyst said that he didn’t believe the figures for Chinese growth because electricity usage didn’t go up which is what happens when an economy is booming.
If anomalies like that can be spotted for a country like China then you can just imagine how easy it would be for a country like Sweden.
As long as there are smart people who make a living as analysts then it is just impossible to have large scale cooking of the books in Nordic countries.
So per capita GDP is more accurate with obvious exceptions.
“Anglican to be accurate ”
Anglicans are Protestants.
your claim about Anglicans being closer to Catholics is laughable because up until 2015 a British royal marring a catholic was enough to ban them from becoming king.
England during the industrial revolution was very anti-Catholic.
The industrial revolution was really carried out by the people of England and Segments of the English public were even more anti-Catholic than the Church of England. The puritans are a great example of that sentiment.
“Prussia has not been the leader of the German lands for so long, it started to challenge Austria’s supremacy in the late 18th century ”
Germany as we know it didn’t come into existence until after protestant rule.
When we think of Germany we think of quality engineering, productive workers and innovation.
That image didn’t come about until after Protestant rule.
Max Weber mentioned the reality in his time and its the even more pronounced today with the EU disaster.
” There is an over representation of Lutherans”
My claim was that the establishment of Germany is protestant and its been that way for centuries.
Lutherans are literally the first protestants.
“Ethnicity is not about how you look, it’s about how you think and how you act. ”
If we asked some black kids in France to draw a picture of what they thought a Frenchman looked like , you and i both know what they’d draw.
Have some self respect and accept what you are.
No native frenchman goes to Fiji and pretends to be Fijian
Your constant refusal to accept what you are is the greatest expression of racism on this blog.
Gman, the uncle tom, comes second.
“Its extremely difficult for publicly traded companies to ” cook the books” especially in the big data era where anyone can spot anomalies with a click of a mouse.”
I’m not talking about businesses when I say Nordics cook the books, I’m talking about national stats with under-employment masking unemployment, gdp growth actually driven by only one or two sectors and everything that will look good on a paper for S&P to read and give a good rating. I exclude Scandinavia and the Low Countries, this everything looks good in the pictures is a German syndrome. But in actuality the social situation is less than enviable, France is probably the best country in the world to be poor.
“So per capita GDP is more accurate with obvious exceptions.”
No, it tells nothing about individual income of the different social classes. The US has a much higher GDP per capita than most of Europe, yet it has a much larger share of poor who are poorer than Europe’s poor.
“Anglicans are Protestants.”
They are Catholic and reformed, you should know it as you were raised Episcopalian. Anglican theology remains close to the Catholic one and miles away from Evangelical cults.
British anti-Catholicism is primarily the result of anti-Pope and anti-Irish sentiments. It’s not a disagreement with the Catholic doctrine. And for your information, the Puritan movement disappeared in Britain during the 17th century, nothing to do with the industrial revolution. Also, in the US, Episcopalians are over-represented in the elite contrary to the Evangelicals.
“Germany as we know it didn’t come into existence until after protestant rule.”
The German Empire wasn’t a Protestant state, it was a federation of Catholic States (Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg and some Rheinland smaller entities) as well as Protestant States (mostly Prussia and Saxony)
“When we think of Germany we think of quality engineering, productive workers and innovation.”
When I think Germany in the 19th century, I think largest population in Europe by far, largest coal reserves, militaro-industrial complex, inferiority complex toward Britain and France, and Prussian values of course, the good ones and the bad ones that led to the abolition of Prussia.
“My claim was that the establishment of Germany is protestant and its been that way for centuries.
Lutherans are literally the first protestants.”
1) The German establishment is no way as Protestant as the Mexican establishment is white.
2) Germany has been dominated by Prussia from 1871 to 1945. Prussia lost huge parts of its territory in 1918 and 1945 when most of it became either Poland, Russia or the DDR, all communist countries. West Germany was dominated by the Catholic south. Do you know where Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi and Porsche come from just to cite the most famous ? Not from Hamburg or Dusseldorf.
3) OK, Lutherans are a race of Übermenschen, got it. Not sure that’s what the Austrian with the mustache thought but why not.
4) What’s up with your adoration for the establishment ?
“If we asked some black kids in France to draw a picture of what they thought a Frenchman looked like , you and i both know what they’d draw.”
Haha, I don’t know. Maybe they’d draw black hair, brown hair, red hair, blond hair, brown eyes, green eyes, blue eyes, black skin, caramel skin, olive skin, white skin, freckles, no freckles, curly hair, kinky hair, straight hair, slanted eyes, open eyes, big nose, small nose…
Right answer: an anthropomorphic silhouette holding a French passport.
“Have some self respect and accept what you are.”
Exactly, and I’m the son of my Parents who are ethnic French and raised me as such. End of the debate.
“Your constant refusal to accept what you are is the greatest expression of racism on this blog.”
I never said I was white or that I was born in France or whatever that’s not who I am. Care about your rent and don’t worry about me I’m doing very well.
i don’t know why i even bother with this back and forth game when you fail to understand what i say and you constantly move the goal posts.
I’m not talking about businesses when I say Nordics cook the books, I’m talking about national stats with under-employment masking unemployment
already answered this with the China growth statistics point.
They are Catholic and reformed,
already answered this.
if Anglicans consider themselves catholic then why did the Church of England impose a law that banned anyone who married a catholic from becoming king? if everyone is catholic then whats the problem?
And why did they have that law all the way up until 2015? Even after Britain became a parliamentary democracy
you should know it as you were raised Episcopalian.
When i went to sunday school the teachers considered Catholics pagans.
Praying to Mary and the saints is clear cut paganism .
Protestants believe that you only pray to God.
never forget that the official name of the episcopal church is :
The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America
The German Empire wasn’t a Protestant state,
More ignorance.
Germany has been a majority protestant country for centuries.
the reason you say its even between Ps and Cs is because you count the atheists as a separate group
large scale atheism is only a recent phenomenon . The vast majority of the atheists are of protestant decent.
Their rational thinking led them to leave Christianity.
if you ad the protestants and atheists then its nearly 60% protestant. Thats the historical majority.
the Puritan movement disappeared in Britain during the 17th century, nothing to do with the industrial revolution
I knew you were going to say that
its amazing how bad your reading comprehension is.
what part of ” sentiment ” don’t you understand ?
I used the puritans as an example of the underlying anti-Catholic sentiment within English society.
Exactly, and I’m the son of my Parents who are ethnic French
Now he changes the meaning of the word son .
This guy is clearly mentally ill.
I wont be responding anymore because you have proven that your reading comprehension is terrible and i now suspect that you have a severe mental problem.
Lol, asshat Jimmy believe he can say nonsense and get away with it by faking exhaustion and misunderstanding from me. Yeah, don’t respond anymore because it’s clear that I already own you.
“already answered this with the China growth statistics point. ”
No, you didn’t, you just mentioned China’s gdp stats, I was talking about a wider range of socio-economic stats for which Nordic countries cook the books and disguise realities.
“if Anglicans consider themselves catholic then why did the Church of England impose a law that banned anyone who married a catholic from becoming king? if everyone is catholic then whats the problem? ”
OMG, what an imbecile ! The king of England is the head of the Anglican Church, just like the Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic. Hello ? Is there someone upstairs ? Do you think its unreasonable that the heads and potential heads of the Anglican Church weren’t allowed to marry a member of the Church they split from aèd were in conflict with ? It is an institutional conflict about the authority of the Pope, not a theological one.
“When i went to sunday school the teachers considered Catholics pagans.
Praying to Mary and the saints is clear cut paganism .”
Whatever ! Learn about “your” religion here.
http://www.diffen.com/difference/Catholicism_vs_Episcopalianism
http://bustedhalo.com/ministry-resources/what-is-the-difference-in-belief-between-roman-catholics-and-espicopalians-i-was-once-told-all-the-ceremony-and-half-the-guilt-but-there-must-be-more-to-it-than-that
Belief-wise, Episcopalians (Anglicans) uphold and proclaim the Catholic and Apostolic faith, based on the same creeds and scripture, and interpreted in the light of Christian tradition, scholarship, and reason. They recognize seven sacraments (the same sacraments as the Catholic Church) and hold roughly the same moral values as Catholics with a few exceptions.
It’s time for you to confess, you lie about your faith like you lie about your income and everything you pretend to be.
“Germany has been a majority protestant country for centuries.”
No, the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a majority Catholic state ruled by The Catholic Austrian Habsburg dynasty. Lutheranism had no special status in the Prussian-centered German Empire of 1871.
“if you ad the protestants and atheists then its nearly 60% protestant”
No, if you remove atheists that were former Catholics plus Germans of French and Polish ethnicity, Protestants were barely a majority. Then if you separate Lutherans and Calvinists and add Austria and Bohemia, Catholicism was by far the dominant religion in the German lands.
“I used the puritans as an example of the underlying anti-Catholic sentiment within English society”
No, you were just chronologically confused and believed England had a Puritan elite related to America’s pilgrim fathers when actually, Anglicanism and especially its Anglo-Catholic movement were dominant in the high sphere whereas Evangelists spread within lower classes, America and the Dominions.
“Now he changes the meaning of the word son .”
You’re such a son of a bitch that you don’t know who your biological father is. So you have learnt to consider your affective father as your one and only father, just like me, except that I’m not a son of a bitch.
“This guy is clearly mentally ill.”
Yay ! Bye, Felicia !
You’re such a son of a bitch that you don’t know who your biological father is. So you have learnt to consider your effective father as your one and only father, just like me, except that I’m not a son of a bitch.
Oh i can just feel the pain
clearly i hit a raw nerve with the son comment.
why so much anger little afro? is it too painful to accept that you were simply bought by a virtue signalling french couple who wanted a toy?
Is it hard to accept that all they wanted was a little accessory to show their friends?
It must be too painful to accept that when you entered puberty and your African genes started to express themselves the couple decided to send you away to military school because their culture didn’t prepare them to deal with africans in their home
that rejection must have been incredibly painful . I bet you cried on the first night you were there
I can just imagine an overgrown african “kid” sitting on the floor at the cornier of the room crying and asking himself ” why have they forsaken me ? ”
I never realized how great it is to have a family until now
after feeling the pain in your words i have decided to take some time out and call my parents just to tell them how lucky i feel to have them as parents
I hope that one day you can be at ease with yourself and accept your reality.
Ahah, this imbecile is making up a whole story out of his ass. I only did middle school in the military, great experience.
When I can back home, I was the big, tall and handsome African of your nightmares. And that was the very purpose of sending me there: to toughen me. Some of my cousins went through this before me. That’s what rich folks do when a father is too overworked to properly raise his boy to be a man, a real man. Not a pussy like you.
And my parents always endorsed my macho persona and they prided themselves a lot on my athletic exploits.
They also cared about my romantic future by shipping me with one of their church friends’ daughter by the time we were like 12/13, thus following the French aristocratic tradition. Thanks to them, I had my first sexual intercourse a couple of years later. We did not follow their plans of marrying and having lots of children but we remained close friends until now.
That’s the story. Now go take a paternity test poor moron.
the only commenters worth reading are pill and me, but mostly me.
make me laugh afro. until then i will assume you’re dumb and that you are peepee.
In all honesty, Philosopher is the most hilarious person on this blog, in a genuinely comedic manner.
You’re second.
ye. but his politics are so-so.
Keep talking everyone! I’m pregnant!
Woo hoo!
Congratulations! So good to hear from you. I thought you’d never return.
remember to take supplements 🙂
I hope the baby is big and beautiful!!!!
I feel like you guys are family.
You were there for me when I was a prostitute.
You were there for me the night I got raped.
You were there for me when I lost the baby.
And now you’re the first ones to know that I’m pregnant.
Can you believe it? Marsha’s going to be a mom!
Like can you guys picture my 170 IQ ass baking cookies? My English professor from Yale is going to kill me. I promised her I would never sellout.
But at this point in life, it’s what I want.
God I love my life. Sometimes gushingly. Occasionally annoyingly.
Spring is the season of renewal and new life, and best wishes to all!
Marsha you should adopt an aftican child. Thats what other famous women do who have lost control.
I never lost control.
Ner ner net ner neneh
Man who sold the world by nirvana. Very apt.
So my haitian son tiko learned to read his first ad today. Advertising is a fascinating subject to these magical creatures. Truly wonderful having him around to chase off the mice or buy drugs.
So what do madonna and warren buffet have in common?
Low verbal iq.
Magic negro worship is a crime. Do not accept it. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 in welfare. Virtue signalling is overrated.
But i love my son for functional reasons.
Hes going to be chairman ofan ibank someday. My white son has no chance even though he has 40 iq points on tiko.
This is gay. You might be a cuckold.
Another thing I’m seeing lately is that anti-semitic-demonic-bad bad craft is getting more mainstream.
You can see it on youtube and Zion’s mind control media comment sections.
The comment sections are the people. The ‘journalists’ are the priests.
Rebellion!

Best ever WWF PPV – Wrestlemania 17.
Just great storylines leading up to the show. Great card. Great matches. Great music and spectacle.
But best individual wrestlemania moment was Hollywood Hogan vs Rock. I had tingles watching Hogan make his entrance. The audience were ecstatic.
That match is a good metaphor for the alt right vs Zion’s magic negro Final Push.
Hogan is another soldier. We don’t leave our boys behind. Him and Mel will not be forgotten. When we win, we’ll build statues to the truth speakers.
I would be shocked if Vince McMahon did not have Trump’s social views.
They are best buddies. No joke, Vince was a top 10 Trump contributor. His wife is Small Business Admin head. Vince is a good man. That’s a tough business to be in.
I think Vince made a key business error rebranding WWF as WWE and going with the show business aspect explicitly. Its kids and teens that watch it, they want to believe. No non Charlie Kaufman film has actors that explain the script as they act.
And WCW kept WWF honest.
Would be interesting if some jewish wrestling nerd set up a new promotion with his robbed pensioner money. He would have the media contact as well to televise. (((Heyman))) tried it with ECW – and it was decent stuff. Not sure if he defrauded anyone though. Probably.
speaking of Heyman
Stone Cold knows 🙂
Ahaha. I remember seeing that a few years ago Jimmy. Heyman is a God amongst men on the mic though.
“I think Vince made a key business error rebranding WWF as WWE and going with the show business aspect explicitly”
He was forced to by the World Wildlife Foundation. I remember those “Get the ‘F out” adds back in 2001. Good times.
And Phil, Heyman was known for screwing his guys over not paying them of I recall correctly. I loved ECW though. Friday nights on TNN was it?
Awkward moment. Heyman offered the right answer bizarrely enough. I remember I used to watch ECW a small bit. It was very thrashy, Jackass style stuff. Wouldn’t be my cup of tea, but I can see why it caught on.
Wrestlers by and large tend to be prole people in real life as well. The idea of letting them be themselves, slightly exaggerated, was a revelation in the 90s.
No way. Best PPV ever was WM 30. Daniel Bryan beating Orton and Batista for the WWE title was the best!
Daniel Bryan (Aka Bryan Danielson) is the best wrestler of all time. AJ Styles is up there too.
I just read that they tried getting HBK to face AJ Styles at WM this year and he turned it down. I’m pissed about that.
Hogan vs Rock was solid. But Cena vs Rock I a few years back we even better. Holy shit that was an amazing match.
You sound like you’re from the younger generation. I’ve never seen those. I stopped watching in 2003 round about when it started to get noticeably worse.
The Rock was the highest earning actor of 2016 and has been very active of late.
He doesn’t seem a like a major Hollywood star to me though. I wouldn’t think of Marlon Brando, Bogart, Sylvester Stallone or Tom Hanks in the same category as the Rock.
I would say the Rock can’t act. But I appreciate his other qualities.
I found Ahnold was more credible for some reason. Don’t know why.
Pumpkin can you unban santo now? This is long enough.
I would never ban santo. He left because he doesn’t like Afro
Nobody likes afro.
Until afro adopts a haitian orphan its all talk to action. He should adopt a boy and call him mini moi. Only then will he get the respect he craves like madonna.
Anjie joli is also someone who puts her money where her mouth is.
Crunk again.
Do you guys like my tattoo?
peepee is laughing at this?
i hope so.
but it’s a super weird way to get laughs.
Your high IQ is like a Faustian bargain that came with a personality & mental health both 2 SD below the mean.
how do you guys like my tattoo?
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:28
if by “below the mean” you meant above the mean, i agree.
What a horrible comeback!
how do you guys like my plastic surgery?
my hero is diogenes. and will ever be.
I find it sexist. Why are you perpetuating the stereotype threat that women like flowers? You’re an institutional racist. Stop threatening me.
Lol. you’re so dumb
it looks kinda like magic marker…
I like it. ❤
thanks!
way to be funny. I cant figure out Deals purpose for being here but illuminaticat seems attracted.
Yup, I’m pretty sure he wants to hit that.
if you wanna impress, get this tattoo…
http://a2.static.dailyvoice.com/image/upload/c_fill,dpr_auto,f_auto,q_auto,w_640/Donald_tattoo_four_FB_xqwt0y
Tattoos are gross, especially on a girl. I do not endorse.
of course he’s had the same hair style for so long he can’t change it.
but if trump just didn’t have ridiculous hair his UNIQUE genius would be obvious to all, even trans injuns.
the man is a GENIUS. just not in IQ terms.
i am perverted in one way. i’m a YUGE dog molester.
seriously!
i’m a dog-o-phile.
part of trump’s genius is deliberately appearing ridiculous.
lion says trump is “prole”. others say he’s vulgar and ill-informed.
none of them get it.
trump is trump.
single payer is on the way.
the true measure of genius is that the genius does NOT comprehend his own genius.
it just is.
like a moustache.
bad example.
it just is.
like being left handed.
f—ing left handed people!
So in other words– Trump doesn’t comprehend how deviant his own behavior.
Not an uncommon trait of sociopaths
*his own behavior is.
another great documentary for peepee is Merchants of Doubt
(2010).
all these movies i suggest can be seen for free on “letmewatchthis” or “putlocker”.
but why won’t peepee boost for Tickled?
very interesting.
this russia trump stuff just proves that the anti-trumpers are…
1. insane,
OR…
2. retarded.
The media fears Putin for EGI reasons
all of the anti-trump people…
PROVE that whatever is the…
OPPOSITE of them…
is RIGHT!
they’re just so fucking retarded…i hope that only in america can such morons achieve such high status…but i fear it’s everywhere.
You’re wrong, I think America probably has the smartest elite. In what other country does the richest man have a 170 IQ?
afro is female and therefore he is incapable of thought.
sad!
an ideal world would be sex-less neuter “not interested” he-men and no women.
afro is a woman.
no afros.
the ONLY purpose of women is to be impregnated.
Could you be any more pathetic? You hate women because you can’t get one. Don’t blame women for your own inadequacies.
give me your email so i can send you nude pictures of myself to masturbate to.
so hate him or suck him…
trump has EXPOSED how UTTERLY retarded elite media IS.
bill maher tonight is like a “support group” for schizophrenics.
REALLY!
try harder fucktards.
they tried.
they failed.
try harder fucktards. you’re still just children.
was jerusalem build-ed here?
it’s not just anglo-centrism,
there’re the arthurian legends…from france.
but…
for what?
for un-timely death.
The pity of war, the pity war distilled.
the librettist was an engraver by trade. below keats, shelley, and byron in class…
yet his figure only grows. he is almost everyone’s favorite poet. everyone with taste.
satanic mills…
it’s so fucking sad what the jews have done to blighty.
the richest and most powerful country on earth for 200 years.
the industrial revolution started THERE. henry maudslay (the most influential human ever after gutenberg) was NOT a german (unlike gutenberg) or a chinamam. no!
that tiny island.
what a motherfucker!
the french can’t stand it!
my dad took me to local productions of G&S. some were good. G&S is easy to sing. not like other opera.
or perhaps i-tal-i-an…
to what end?
why?
always ask that.
ask it of yourself.
are you gonna be the next maudslay?
the next newton?
the next jesus?
give up already!
the reigning ideology supposes that folks like maudslay and newton achieved what they did as direct result of their innate ability.
ha! ha! ha!
they were smart. but their circumstances made them. and at the same time were peculiarly suited to them.
maudslay said, supposedly…
First get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it.
the first part is the hard part.
tattoos, talk shows, etc.
1914 – 1918
they’re all shit.
try harder.
You guys need to make love with this song in the background.
I guess Justin Bieber is indebted
HAHA, the guitar parts are so similar on those songs! They’re both catchy as modern pop, a genre I admit I’m woefully unfamiliar with. I need to learn how to play something like this to impress the ladies.
I think it was an intended, sample, can’t find plagiarism accusations on the wwweb. Plus it comes from one very throwback-inspired Justin Bieber album.
It’s funny you’re not familiar with this type of R&B because you’re exactly my sister’s age and Craig David is the typical music she was playing at the time of her first crushes in the early 2000s. And right now I’m chilling on the deck with my chick on a warm early spring weather, sippin’ on gin and tonic and jamming to this type of throwbacks.
Btw, you play guitar, that’s awesome. I do not understand why the ladies don’t like you, you’re nice, you’re black, regular height, you lift, you aint broke… Two hypotheses, number one is that you give up too easily, number two is that flute jazz screws up your game lol.
Oh, there is this song we’re addicted to as well, it’s recent, I guess it belongs to the future bass genre of R&B/EDM
Damn, that wicked ass chorus.
It’s not a sample, the guitar parts are too different. But I’m sure Justin Bieber’s song was inspired by David’s.
Yah, I think you’re right.
In fact they call it an interpolation.
Generally its a game theory.
So Trump’s opponents are high IQ. And low morality/empathy. THey don’t care about murdering millions of gentiles, slavs and arabs. They lie reflexively. They lack that part of the brain that brings shame or disgust at their actions.
Trump has that part of the brain. Watch this video.
Trump is a genuinely caring man. That’s why he’s running.
And Robert is 100% right. The type of intelligence Trump has cannot be measured conventionally. Like Scott Adams, I can see it and describe it much like an art critic of a Rembrandt painting. It takes a while to settle in and you realise how scarily socially adept the man is. He is a freak of nature.
Watch.
The painting is so complex, many elite level jews will also think he is rumbling the masses, much like RR will see.
He is an artist capable of presenting impressions that suit whatever admirer.
Most naturally gifted politician of the modern era.
Trump merely crowbars an opening.
Its up to the remaining unbrainwashed patriots and decent people of this world to help him. It’s up to us to realtalk, to stand against the barbarians, vote freedom and help de-programme our fellow citizen-slaves in thrall to the temple of the Necromancer.
Billionaires like Robert Mercer from Renaissance have received a lot of flack from ZIon in the media for supporting Trump. Apparently Mercer is au fait with the conspiracy theories.
I said it 6 months ago. Read it – his intention is to corral the last remaining gentile elites against Zion.
Through intermarriage and bribery, many of the 400 have switched into globalism. Fortunately Trump has met these people all his adult life.
In a bizarre way, people like Vince McMahon and so on will have important roles.
We live in very interesting times. I will be expending all my efforts to beating back ZIon in my own ways.
We know what world the neocons want. We’ve seen large glimpses of it under Bush. It is an abomination against nature.
If Trump isn’t aware all his opponents are jewish I will be deeply shocked.
Robert pointed out correctly Trump ‘forgetting’ jews on holocaust remembrance day.
The other clue is his 30 year personal butler.
I would find it very odd how you could ‘tolerate’ a man with my social views in your personal life that long.
Senecal?
That’s very interesting.
In other news, this:
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2016/01/20/hbd-and-sports-baseball/
may need to be retracted by me. I am apparently WRONG.
Quick excerpt from Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We’re Afraid To Talk About It.
James first compared fifty-four white rookies against the same number of black first-year players who had comparable statistics. “The results were astonishing,” James wrote. The black players:
* went on to have better major-league careers in 44 out of 54 cases
* played 48 percent more games
* had 66 percent more major league hits
* hit 93 percent more triples
* hit 66 percent more home runs
* scored 69 percent more runs
* stole 400 more bases (Entine, 2000: 23)
…
In an attempt to correct for possible bias, James compared players with comparable speed statistics such as the number of doubles, triples, and stolen bases. He ran a study focused on players who had little speed. He analyzed for “position bias” and made sure that players in the same eras were being compared. Yet every time he crunched the numbers, the results broke down across racial lines. When comparing home runs, runs scored, RBIs or stolen bases, black players held an advantage a startling 80 percent of the time. “And I could identify absolutely no bias to help explain why this should happen,” James said in disbelief.
James also compared white Hispanic rookies whom he assumed faced an uphill battle similar to that for blacks, with comparable groups of white and black players. The blacks dominated the white Latinos by even more than they did white North Americans, besting them in 19 of the 26 comparisons. Blacks played 62 percent more games, hit 192 more home runs, drove in 125 percent more runs, and stole 30 percent more bases. (Entine, 2000: 24-25)

Holly fuck, France changes time tonight ! Don’t you guys forget if your country does it too.
America already has.
I prefer summer time but I hate to be stolen one hour in the middle of night.
Being drunk in the afternoon gives me awesome ideas.
Guys, if problem solving provoked natural for intelligence, then why are we the only intelligent species ? I mean, animals have their issues too, yet:
“if problem solving provoked natural for intelligence”
if problem solving provoked natural selection for intelligence.
Poor me…
“then why are we the only intelligent species”
We aren’t. You’re just fucking around right?
Ok, tell me of a species that threatens our supremacy ?
Well actually highly non-intelligent bacteria and viruses do.
Besides that it depends on what you mean by intelligent. Don’t you think chimps, dolphins, and birds are intelligent? Or are you specifically asking why no animal has intelligence NEAR our level?
Lol, no please don’t include pathogenes, I’m talking of species that are challenging us in resource competition in the way you believe neanderthals did.
None that I can think of off the top of my head. I wonder if the the human brain has higher plasticity relative to the rest of the body. I think that might be a decent way of telling whether our brain was under more natural or sexual selection. Then again, intelligence could very well be a product of both.
I think it’s more sexual selection than natural selection since there is no model of survival of the smartest that makes sense. And there are too many human behaviors that are unnecessary for survival but give a serious edge in sexual competition. And human sexuality is very different from that of other animals, except bonobos. It is not focused on reproduction, it is also social/recreative.
I mean, we can’t make theories of evolution that focus on the brain and mere cognition, we need to look into everything that makes humans unique and this includes a large amount of body and non-intellectual behavioral characteristics.
“And there are too many human behaviors that are unnecessary for survival but give a serious edge in sexual competition.”
Like what? I mean besides relatively large dicks.
Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I’ll choose another way?

Just cause everybody doing what they all do

I’m walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

But that’s just how I feel, that’s just how I feel
That’s just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can’t see
Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction, I’mma be on the top of the world
Hope you, hope you don’t look back, always do what you decide
Don’t let them control your life, that’s just how I feel
Fight for yours and don’t let go, don’t let them compare you, no
Don’t worry, you’re not alone, that’s just how we feel
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can’t see?
But that’s just how I feel, that’s just how I feel
That’s just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can’t see
If you tell me I’m wrong, wrong
I don’t wanna be right, right

Interesting. Send it to Pumpkin as soon as possible.
