Even though I believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, I’ve long been a UFO skeptic because:
a) we’ve found no evidence of even microbial life on other planets, let alone complex life.
b) Earth is the most life friendly planet we know of, and even here life seems to have occurred only once in 4.5 billion years.
c) If aliens had visited us, it seems unlikely to me that governments would have been able to conceal it anymore than the chiefs of Native American tribes could have concealed the arrival of Europeans from their people. Why would the aliens take the trouble to come all this way only for their arrival to be kept a secret?
But now the number of reputable people publicly taking UFOs seriously has reached a critical mass, including prestigious members of the U.S. military and reporters for The New York Times:
People have been reporting UFOs for thousands of years, but the legend really took off after an alien space craft allegedly crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, only to be covered up by the U.S. government.
A popular theory among UFO enthusiasts is that when the United States nuclear bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, it created such an explosion that the aliens took notice and they’ve been keeping an eye on us ever since, kind of like how the U.S. and Israel are worried about the nuclear ambitions of countries like North Korea and Iran. If so, it’s interesting that recent credible UFO sightings have occurred around the time that Trump and Kim Jong-il have been sparring over who has a bigger nuclear button.
If UFOs really are aliens, in a weird way it kind of validates J.P. Rushton for the following reasons:
a) Intelligent humanoid life on other planets fits nicely with his view that evolution is progressive since it “progressed” in the same direction on other Worlds.
b) It would explain the anomaly in Rushton’s theory of whites being more technologically advanced than East Asians, despite being less evolutionarily advanced, since UFO enthusiasts believe the U.S. stole its most advanced technologies from the crashed aliens.
c) The fact that these highly evolved aliens are believed to look a bit East Asian is consistent with Rushton’s theory that East Asians are the most evolved in human race.
oprah is an alien.
That would explain the superhuman brain size and almost supernatural effect she has on people:
You are counting her hair as cranium size
Her hair is pulled back pretty tight in that picture; also early in her career she went bald from a bad perm or stress and none of her TV bosses could find a wig big enough to fit her head.
She has a big head but your measurement on the picture is wrong.
I’m very suspicious of the claim Oprah have the biggest cranium of both female and Blacks, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen black male with larger head than she have.
Those big-headed black men would be smaller header than Oprah if you adjusted for fat-free body mass.
jamie foxx is a black midget. of course he has a small head.
His legs are probably longer than yours.
Does this guy have the smaller head than Oprah ?
His head is wider and his receding hairline makes it look very high, but Oprah’s head is much longer.
…A week after his first LSD trip, Wilson began suffering from auditory hallucinations, which have persisted throughout his life….
…that never happened.
Come on PP. Literally measuring her hair.
Hair might have confounded the numbers a bit but her hair’s pulled back pretty tight.
Believing in UFOs is generally not a sign of a very high IQ, not to deny they may exist but the logic people who claim they exist use is retarded, the same apply to people who believe in god
Ufos and sasquatches watch oprah regularly. Its her main audience.
“Intelligent humanoid life on other planets fits nicely with his view that evolution is progressive since it “progressed” in the same direction on other Worlds.”
To me it’s just so obvious evolution is progressive, it’s simple logic, the trial and error thing.
It make me think of my not very smart biology teacher who said the common ancestor of Man and apes was not an ape, she didn’t realise this species would be classified as an ape if scientific could study it.
It make me think of my not very smart biology teacher who said the common ancestor of Man and apes was not an ape, she didn’t realise this species would be classified as an ape if scientific could study it.
What your teacher should have said is that the common ancestor of man and chimps was not a chimp.
Someone correct her but she insisted. Interesting thing to note, she was very small, like smaller than a 12 years old.
“To me it’s just so obvious evolution is progressive, it’s simple logic, the trial and error thing.”
No it isn’t. Can you explain how it’s progressive? I’d love to be enlightened.
peepee has never given any evidence that evolution is progressive.
she hasn’t even defined what she means by “progressive”.
i have given two examples where evolution is regressive. viruses evolved from bacteria and some of the simplest bacteria evolved from more complex bacteria.
and in terms of complexity of genome, humans are not that complex.
I provided some preliminary evidence here.
That’s not evidence, it’s only evidence of a logical fallacy that you think your correlations imply causation. Cum hoc, ergo propter hoc.

https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2017/10/11/there-is-no-marching-up-the-evolutionary-tree/
Progress itself is a correlation (a longterm trend) so a correlation implies a correlation. The correlation itself is disputed which is why i gathered some preliminary evidence.
Now if we accept a correlation the question is only whether it can be dismissed by Gould’s drunk walk analogy. If it were the correlation should vanish at high levels of complexity. That doesn’t appear to be the case so my tentative conclusion is that not only is evolution progressive, it’s actively progressive.
They are promoting something called “To the stars Academy”. If you look into it, you’ll see that John Podesta is involved (check his Twitter).

I don’t know what to make of it, but I don’t trust it…
“Intelligent humanoid life on other planets fits nicely with his view that evolution is progressive since it “progressed” in the same direction on other Worlds
That wouldn’t imply ‘progress’ for that world since we don’t know anything about the other life there.
“It would explain the anomaly in Rushton’s theory of whites being more technologically advanced than East Asians, despite being less evolutionarily advanced, since UFO enthusiasts believe the U.S. stole its most advanced technologies from the crashed aliens.”
This is kooky conspiracy. It’s plausible but unlikely that we reverse engineered the Roswell ship. But Europeans have been more technologically advanced than East Asians for a few hundred years.
“The fact that these highly evolved aliens are believed to look a bit East Asian is consistent with Rushton’s theory that East Asians are the most evolved in human race”
They’re not. They’re like blacks and whites. Just because they look like East Asians doesn’t imply that they’re us or that East Asians would evolve into something similar given the right selection pressure. I have seen episodes of Ancient Aliens (lol) where they say that they’re us from the future.
“I have seen episodes of Ancient Aliens (lol) where they say that they’re us from the future.”
For 20 years I have heard this story. If it were true would you time travel 50-100 years in the past, when you could run simulations instead? Aliens from the future who are us would rather play video games. The past is boring and time travel has no purpose. Time is conserved so only a limited number of time travelers can appear. Would a time traveler go to the 80s to see a Rubix cube? Would they travel to 2017 to see a fidget spinner?
It’d be cool to see what happened but I don’t think is try time traveling. I’m agnostic on the alien question
no no. rr.
ancient rome and greece were ahead of china people.
denying this is (((revisionist history))).
Good point.
China may have been slightly more advanced for a longer period of time, but whenever Europe got ahead of China, they were way ahead of China…like nowadays
peepee is inconsistent.
she boosts for flushton’s cold winters theory yet identifies short legs with being un-evolved.
i’m not nearly as bad as harvard grad tommy lee jones.
he’s got some freaky short legs.
Leg length is only one trait. Above neck more important.
Why so reductionist? Holism > reductionism.
Because evolutionary taxonomy is pretty reductionist
the kids said i had a body like ben johnson.
it’s funny. al roker said caribbeans had short legs so they could stand up during hurricanes. of course, the short legged caribbean is a minority. michael johnson also had short legs for a sprinter. he came from a middle class black family, like most famous blacks. does he have caribbean ancestry?
that’s why peepee’s boosting for capitalism is so retarded.
black celebrities overwhelmingly come from middle class black families.
some of them come from rich black families.
miles davis and george jefferson (sherman helmsley).
Tucker reads sailer. Must be.
There are a lot of excellent italian coaches in soccer. I would say much more than the prominence of Serie A in football in general. This might be evidence that Italian jocks are smarter than germanic jocks.
Jocks tend to be great at sport. I would say academic results tend to be inversely correlated with sporting ability and social intelligence.
Sports that involve hand eye coordination blacks do poorly at like tennis, shooting, bowling, and that. It might be because blacks didn’t even perfect basic millitary weaponry like slings, catapaults and archery.
You can tell the IQ of countries by their millitary innovations in my opinion. You expect Master will make his smartest subjects invent millitary tech first and foremost. For example, Da Vinci’s drawings and designs were predominantly millitary.
By this metric, the italians innovated twice with naval warfare during the renaissance (which led to the age of exploration) and with Rome.
Jews of course can be credited with the nuclear bomb.
Jews are a strange example because they are not a warrior race but a priest race.
Jews of course can be credited with the nuclear bomb
WRONG!
Manhatten project. All jews.
You’ve been “brainwashed” by “master” into giving “master” credit for everything. The manhattan project came only after Germans made the fundamental breakthroughs in nuclear fission
I would not say that the invention of the nuclear bomb is bad.
I would not say that the people who invented the bomb were bad people.
In all conclusiveness, the government paid people for the bomb to be made.
The generals that lead the project I don’t think they were Jewish.
The majority of scientists could be Jewish, I don’t know.

Oppenheimer was born in New York City on April 22, 1904,[7] to Julius Oppenheimer, a wealthy Jewish textile importer who had immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1888, and Ella Friedman, a painter. Julius came to America with no money, no baccalaureate studies, and no knowledge of the English language.
Von Neumann was born Neumann János Lajos to a wealthy, acculturated and non-observant Jewish family (in Hungarian the family name comes first. His given names equate to John Louis in English). His Hebrew name was Yonah. Von Neumann was born in Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[5][6][7] He was the eldest of three brothers; his two younger siblings were Michael (b. 1907) and Nicholas (b. 1911).[8] His father, Neumann Miksa (English: Max Neumann) was a banker, who held a doctorate in law. He had moved to Budapest from Pécs at the end of the 1880s
Yes the ‘germans’. All of those ‘german’ scientists were actually jews. Just like I suspect many of the soviet scientists for the space programme were also jews.
once again pill shows he’s jewish. sad.
hahn, fermi, von braun…all jews.
I think HBD is bullet proof as a way of categorising observations about how the world works but the largest anomaly is east asia where mongolia resides beside China which is beside japan.
I have also read South east asians are much less smart than north east asians. This is strange considering malaysia and thailand and vietnam even have large han populations.
So robert might be right about reaction norms to an extent and/or I might be right that Master in China/Japan desired better beureacrats.
Woody Allens other daughter has just accused him of sexual abuse. What a disgusting man.
Sailer is in good form. He retweeted a prank email someone sent to Max Boot asking Max to ‘join the cause for more diversity for Israel and open the borders’. Hahahaha.
In all seriousness, I’ve heard rumours that Oprah is bisexual. Is that true?
Don’t know. She had a lot of men during her teens & twenties & no one ever questioned her sexuality until 1998 despite constant tabloid scrutiny from 1986 to 2011. In 1998 gay rumours suddenly started after she played the therapist on Ellen’s coming out show & they’ve persisted because of her close friendship with a woman (Gayle King) & her refusal to get married. However black women tend not to get married. Same with successful women, & Oprah’s both.
Trump is pretty serious about the wall. AFAIK, he has stuck to all his campaign promises. Its a pity the ones I dont like – millitary spending and tax cuts were the only things he got so far.
Im glad he failed on obamacare. But the individual mandate is gone. Wonder what that means for the law.
Whites were only more technologically advanced for a time. East Asians (Koreans, Japanese) have caught up and are advancing past white societies. I believe that the advantage of whites comes with being more exploratory than Asians. Asians appear to be insular by nature.
White societies tend to be more open to ideas and innovation, where although Asians are smarter, that intelligence means little (or is negligible) if you don’t have the drive to explore. The stereotype for East Asians seems to be that they mostly copy – if done right (like with Japan and Korea), they can copy well and make it better.
Obviously history shows eminent contributions by whites in scientific achievements.
they’re just in it for the money. the ufo lady wrote a book on near death experiences previously. and that guy has weird facial hair and a spanish surname. not trustworthy.
I didn’t know she wrote a book on NDEs. That undermines her credibility.
regarding the russia stuff, trump remarked that the CIA is the same people who were certain there were WMD in iraq.
good point, right? but now there’s an even bigger point.
they WERE wrong about russia.
the CIA is 100% INCOMPETENT and/or CORRUPT.
trump knows this.
what will he about it?
All Trump has to do is slowly replace the neocons in the deep state with their critics, many of whom used to work there, but i don’t know if Trump is neocon savvy. Like Jimmy Dore he probably fell for the chomsky propaganda that the Iraq war was for oil & is just pissed America didn’t get any, the genetically superior Chinese took it.
the genetically inferior chinese took iraq’s oil?
peepee making shit up again.
sad!
No i stand by my reporting. The Chinese were adaptable enough to turn the Iraq war to their advantage.
Rushton proven right again:

wikipedia is not trustworthy. but it is more trustworthy than the NYTs or oprah.
so burroughs lived to 83 and died from a heart attack. he’d been a junkie for, idk, 60 years?
his son had a liver transplant at age 29 supposedly from alcoholic liver damage. he died at 33 supposedly from the same cause, after only 4 years with the new liver.
…he died the following day at 6:35 a.m. of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with micronodular cirrhosis.
this is not believable.
jim morrison may have died from the same cause as kerouac. he had spit up some blood in the bathtub. but morrison was 27 and kerouac was 47.
and even in the worst alcoholics, cirrhosis is rare. 90+% of the most hard core alcoholics will die from something unrelated to alcohol.
so there’s william s burroughs jr and that guy from the greatful dead. people who died from liver disease who were also severe alcoholics, but their liver disease was not caused by their alcoholism.
this reminds me of brian wilson and some friend hamilton morris mentions. people who supposedly were driven insane, permanently, by their use of DMT like psychedelics.
but in any sufficiently large population some people will go crazy.
the evidence is in, and psychedelics do NOT affect mental health (or they improve it).
that most recent sailer post, re-posting boot’s post, of an email was hilarious.
for one thing i learned i should have sent email to professor shoe and colleagues through proton.
but most interesting article on unz now is ilana mercer’s most recent. sont’e agree with her last paragraph but she never once makes the simplistic HBD explanation.
