It is implausible that the Bushmen populations (which once occupied a much larger range than today) lived in total isolation from non-Bushmen populations. Presumably the mutation or mutations that facilitated the emergence of grammar appeared or came together in one population first. This development was so valuable that the relevant genes had a high chance of being preserved and spreading to fixation if even a small amount of interbreeding occurred with a neighboring population. Thus, even if Bushmen (and Pygmies, BTW) split off between 200kya and 300kya, that would not have prevented the spread of an especially valuable mutation from any one human population to all the rest. I argue that a limited vocabulary already existed in all sapiens populations (and probably some non-Sapiens populations as well), but the appearance of the “grammar gene(s)” made vocabulary immensely more useful so that it was now worthwhile to coin many more words, and the more intelligent band members could master the use and comprehension of this expanding vocabulary much better than the less intelligent. The grammar mutation should have spread relatively rapidly from any human population to all the rest. If we backcrossed with Neanderthals and Denisovans, I cannot imagine that there was not also gene flow to (and from) Bushmen (and Pygmies) as well. Further, I know of no reason to presume that grammar did not first emerge in Bushmen and spread to non-Bushmen rather than vice versa. We simply do not know.
Neanderthals possessed our FOXP2 gene and a hyoid bone that facilitate speech, but the larynx was still in a more anterior position, as in an infant of our species, which restricted the number of vowel sounds that could be formed, and therefore the number of words that could be created. I argue that if Neanderthal has possessed grammatical language at an earlier date, there would have been evolutionary selection for a larynx positioned so that a larger number of words could be formed. Thus, I also argue that grammar evolved sometime after Neanderthals split from the lineage that led to sapiens, and our sudden and rapid colonization of the world in the last 70ky suggests that the grammatically structured use of vocabular evolved shortly before we exploded suddenly over the world’s surface, since the appearance of grammatical language is the most likely advantage that allowed us to expand rapidly and to quickly displace our rivals who were longer established and better adapted to the local environment.
The notion that a small number of genetic mutation(s) gave rise to behavioral modernity and the upper Paleothic revolution is associated with paleontologist Richard Klein:
But geneticist David Reich is having none of it:
Expanding our analysis to the whole genome, we could not find any location–apart from mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome, where all people living today share a common ancestor less than 320,000 years ago. This is a far longer time scale than the one required by Klein’s hypothesis. If Klein was right, it would be expected that there would be places in the genome, beyond mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome, where almost everyone shares a common ancestor within the last hundred thousand years. But these do not in fact seem to exist.
Our results do not completely rule out the hypothesis of a single critical genetic change. There is a small fraction of the genome that contains complicated sequences that are difficult to study and that was not included in our survey. But the key change, if it exists, is running out of places to hide….
From Who are we and how we got here by David Reich, pg 18
But while Reich largely rejects the idea of a single (or small number) of genetic mutations giving rise to behavior modernity, he seems open to the possibility that “…coordinated natural selection on combinations of many mutations simultaneously–did enable new cognitive capacities…”

By the way I found the Matrix Reasoning fairly easy and I can’t see why anyone else wouldn’t score as high as me.
I do have my 5th grade score but no subtest scores. I was verbally retarded (iq of 83 during 5th grade) probably due to my language delay. But now i’m just an average joe when it comes to verbal things.
So what career should I pursue?
It’s very hard for me to recommend a career because your highest score (matrix reasoning) is on a task so abstract, it by definition doesn’t relate to any specific field.
But I would think the combination of genius pattern recognition (matrix) with strong spatial (blocks) would make you good at math but the correlation between math & matrix is not high
Arithmetic correlates strongly with math but they appear to have dropped that subtest from the WISC
Still, I would lean towards math/science & computers & try to find your passion in that domain
Were you given any achievement tests like the WIAT?
What language delay? We’re you a late talker like Einstein & Feynman?
Unfortunately I wasn’t given any achievement tests but interestingly I score above average in my age group on the reading portion of the sat (8 online practice tests) and only average on math.
Yes I was a late talker and throughout my life I have had trouble with language. But i’m thankful that I know have normal language skills.
I guess my best bet is computers right?
Also in the past I had scored 120 on fluid reasoning on the Woodcock Johnson but below average on the language stuff.
Or maybe I should become a manager were the average IQ is 100??
“There is a theory (don’t know if it’s true) that the optimum IQ for a leader is 18 points higher than his followers. If you’re too much higher, they wont understand you. If you’re too much lower, they wont respect you.”
So are you going to answer my questions?
I thought i already did
I found it interesting that you called Spassky was a genius since he denied the existence of god at 13. I also didn’t believe god at 13.
My IQ of 118 also explains a lot.
No wonder I can’t find too many good friends AT SCHOOL!
I’M SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WITH IQ’S IN THE 90-100 RANGE.
Once upon a time, a study of school children found that children viewed as leaders among their class mates were smarter than the average, but not too much smarter. Being 2SD above the student body seems to guarantee that you will not be regarded as a leader or exemplar by most of your class mates. Likewise, in US politics getting labeled an egghead (like Adlai Stevenson in the 1950’s) appears to be an even bigger career killer than getting portrayed as a dummy. Correctly or not, many people perceived GW Bush as not terribly bright (some of his critics compared him to a chimpanzee, to say nothing of the constant mockery of his linguistic missteps), yet he was a two term president. In democratic politics, appearing too dumb appears to be more forgivable than appearing too smart. Thus, the duller the voters, the duller their leaders.
That would certainly explain a lot right now.
So Reich does support a slightly more gradual theory of behavioral modernity. I’d be skeptical on the existence of a “grammar Gene”.
Yes. He seems to agree with Klein that it was caused by a genetic change, but thinks the change was natural selection for thousands of small existing variants while Klein imagined selection for a major new mutation.
But if there was no new major mutation, we’re left wondering what caused the natural selection for existing variants?
Tbe out of Africa migration? But what caused that? Natural selection from the volcano as Nehemiah has suggested? I seem to recall you debunking the volcanoe’s significance
“natural selection … selection-for” haha
RR, interpret ”selection-for” in literal way. Always with that basic problem to differentiate conotative from denotative..
RR does not understand Fodor’s argument and continuously makes himself look stupid when commenting the cringey shit he does above
I don’t think it was the out of Africa migration. Neanderthals were arguably behaviorally modern as well as the African homo sapiens.
Are you talking about the Toba eruption or whatever? Yes I think John Hawks dissected that
Fodor does not deny that there is a fact of the matter that certain traits are selected-for. Fodor’s claim is that when T and T’ are coextensive, that an appeal to “natural selection” can’t tell us which trait is the fitness-enhancer and which is the free-rider.
So yea, “natural selection for” is funny, since we cannot use the theory to ascertain which trait enhances fitness and which trait free-rides when traits are coextensive.
Also, seems RR believes middle class avg IQ mean ”every people who born in middle class family will score the same, because they are raised in the same cultural background”…
BUTT
At least in the school, scholastic programe is about the ideal student: often those who score higher in IQ tests. It’s explain why, in regular schools, just a tiny minority of students reach this pre-determined ideal [be capable to learn by memorization and convergent application most of knowledge is being transmitted].
Interestingly, if IQ was just a reflection of middle class cognitive values or tools so why elite people have a higher avg IQ**
and rr can’t explain why trailer park whites score higher than middle class blacks
“seems RR believes middle class avg IQ mean ”every people who born in middle class family will score the same, because they are raised in the same cultural background”…”
Never made that claim.
“Interestingly, if IQ was just a reflection of middle class cognitive values or tools so why elite people have a higher avg IQ**”
IQ scores are an index of an individual’s distance from the cultural tools which make up the test.
“and rr can’t explain why trailer park whites score higher than middle class blacks”
Source? Let me guess, the 2010 SAT table, right?
In any case PP et al, I don’t need to explain away all anomalies: that’s what HBDers do when things don’t fit their “simple models.” I only need to provide explanations for the test scores and why certain classes score higher or lower than others—and I have.
No you definitely need to explain anomalies.
Also I replied to our argument on construct validity however I don’t think it replied to you, instead it posted it on the bottom of the page. Just letting you know so you didn’t think I was ignoring you.
Give me a reference then, PP.
I’m the reference. You have a top blogger telling you he heard Ruston say x in a YouTube video
No, the reference for “trailer park whites [scoring] higher than middle class blacks.”
And PP, I don’t care if you’re a top blogger or not. What talk did Rushton give to his his supporters (i.e., AmReners) where he made this claim?
I do not regard the Toba effect as debunked. Human cultural production and population expansion clearly accelerated after Toba faster than before Toba. For a period of time after Toba, perhaps a millennium or more, survival probably became unusually precarious, and groups that could better cooperate internally may have held a decisive advantage over groups that cooperated less well. More sophisticated verbal communication certainly would have given groups that possessed it superior ingroup coordination versus groups with less developed linguistic ability.
Like hbdchick positing “numbers genes.”
“remember when supermisdreavus suggested that the tsimane (who only count to s’thing like two and beyond that it’s “many”) maybe went down an evolutionary pathway in which they *lost* such numbers genes?”
that’s ‘tarded. those amazon savages learn arithmetic as well as any other brazilian chillens when they’re enrolled in school…or so claimed dan everett.
What about sasquacthes? Was their a grammer flow to deal’s human ancestors?
Kouprianova has translated several books written by Aleksandr Dugin…
What is that circled?
who cares? that’s laura bush. is this a photoshop? spencer is from texas, like w, and he used to edit taki mag.
It looks photoshop. The woman in particular.
English has something like 10-20 vowel sounds, but Spanish supposedly only has five. I wouldn’t guess vowels would be the chokepoint, unless Neanderthals were extremely limited. But there’s still tone.
Rushton mentioned bushmen clicks as evidence that they split off before the invention of the vowel
Quote?
he said it in a Q&A of one of his lectures so it’s not written anywhere
Which lecture? Did he have a source or not?
it was on youtube. some long lecture he gave to some group of supporters followed by a long Q&A. Don’t know if he had a source or if it was his own idea, but he is right that they split off a long, long time ago. Whether the clicks were a substitute for vowels is probably known by linguists. Google it.
Why should I attempt to verify your claim?
because you’re the one who wants it verified
Why are you making an assertion without verifying it? You obviously know that Rushton was a known bullshitter, so why take what he says on face value?
I’m not making any assertion. Simply reporting what rushton said. You’re entitled to your opinion on rushton.
I can’t find any evidence for Rushton’s assertion. More and more bullshit from Rushton. Rushton largely bullshitted in his career. So sad how all of his life’s work is being upended. It’s also funny.
They’ve trashing his work non-stop for 30 years but despite the countless smears and clones, REB remains a landmark
Landmark in what? The main thesis of his book has been destroyed to hell and back.
There’s been so much politically motivated criticism of rushton’s theory, that it’s hard to take any criticism of him seriously
What’s wrong with Anderson’s 1991 paper?
REB?
Race Evolution & Behavior. Title of rushton’s book
english is an example of…wait for it…
it used to be and may still be that linguists claimed (claim) that all languages are equally complex. complexity in inflection is compensated for by syntactic simplicity and vice versa. complexity in phonology is compensated for by atonality or shorter lexemes and morphemes, etc.
john mcwhorter, a high IQ black american, has said this is just PC bullshit.
english is simply superior in so many ways…british imperialism isnlt the only reason english is the world’s language.
1. english is the least inflected of all indo-european languages.
2. english is a creole of norman french and anglo-saxon.
3. english isn’t picky in adopting words from other languages.
4. as norm said, “air traffic controllers have made english their language because all other languages are WEIRD.”
mcwhorter demonstrates that black american’s problems are NOT racism.
their problems are “culturalism” and classism.
if a black person sounds white almost every white person takes him or her seriously.
but if they look and sound black then however committed to “anti-racism” the white person is he just…
ignores.
Part of Oprah’s success was that despite being born & raised among illiterate blacks, her large brain allowed her to speak impeccable English
She landed her first job in broadcasting at 16 at a black radio station in Nashville because the manager had never heard a black read so well. She also won black beauty contests because despite not being beautiful, she would nail the Q&A. She wasn’t even able to finish college because a local Tv station hired her at 19
Someone once said that English is popular in part because it is easier to speak badly, that is, it is easier to pick up the rudiments of the language and quickly engage in basic communication. The perfect language for a country that wants to be swamped with the world’s “tired, your poor [and poorly educated], your huddled masses” yearning to improve their standard of living. That’s a great thing, because we really need to alleviate our desperate shortage of unskilled and poorly educated workers. As an added blessing, a lower national IQ and more factious racial and religious infighting will make us a stronger nation.
Apparently five is the average for modern languages. I assumed it was higher, and based my idea of “limited” on that.
So i realize/learned theres a cosmic universal ranking system. Alpha (1st), Beta (2nd), Delta (3rd), Omega (Everyone not 1st 2nd or 3rd is last).
Every competition and social interaction, at least among the Great Apes (Gorillas, Chimps, Humans, Etc.) follows this same formula, awards for 1st place, awards for 2nd place, and awards for 3rd place, and then everyone else gets nothing, is not a man made system. Its a naturally occurring system in nature.
Every time someone enters a group interaction, he/she participates in this orderly social interaction, usually without being self aware of his or her relative status and ranking. (People are usually self aware about whom the leader (Alpha is, but not the others).
Here’s a clip of a Steve Jobs movie with Ashton Kutcher. You see theres about 20 men and women in the room. Ashton (Steve) is the Alpha (1st), whom does nearly all the talking, the Beta (2nd) is the 2nd person to speak, and challenges the Alpha, and the Delta (3rd) backs up the Beta.
Every one else in the room is (Omega) Notice no one else in the room says anything except the main 3, everyone else is essentially invisible. Once you see the code, you can assess your rank, and status relative to anyone you meet, and any group interaction, in real time.
Steve Jobs looks like Ashton Kutcher in this movie.
Humans don’t have alphas.
^ we have trolls here.^ All Great Apes have Alpha’s, Beta’s, Delta’s, Omega’s
Alpha means 1st you Fucking idiot. If your the 1st person to win a race, your the Alpha you stupid Fuck.
No biologist uses the term in that way. You’ve defined it so broadly to be absolutely useless.
A movie is not evidence of what goes on in nature. Educate yourself before making stupid comments, and insulting others intelligence.
Alpha means first idiot
Thanks for geniuses humankind have achieved so much and most of geniuses are not alphas…
Another example from the This is Sparta Scene.
30 seconds in. 4 people are in the shot, rest are background characters.
1st person to speak is Alpha (Leonidas)
2nd person to speak is Beta (The Persian)
3rd Person to speak is Delta (Leonidas’s Wife)
No one else speaks, and the Beta and the Delta have a status argument, the Alpha speaks and moves the location, and everyone follows.
The Delta joins in with the crowd, thus giving up her status and becomes an Omega, now the Delta position is available.
30-60 seconds in the Beta (The Persian) speaks, and attempts to establish himself as the Alpha over Leonidas.
60-120 seconds in, one of the Omegas, enters into the conversation from the crowd, and establishes himself as the new Delta (Leonidas Friend).
The New Delta backs up, the Beta, in hopes of usurping the Alpha (Leonidas).
The climactic moment occurs when Leonidas is looking at everything he is a leader of. His people, his city, his wife, the very land he walks on, and at that moment he decides to kill the Beta before the Beta can kill him.
Leonidas is the 1st (Alpha means 1st) to draw his sword, the Old and New Deltas do not have swords (a wise policy on Leonidas’s part) and the Omegas draw their swords after Leonidas of course.
The New Delta simply walks away from the conflict, thus opening up the status position once again.
The Alpha and the Beta have an argument over the pit, and Leonidas turns to make eye contact with his wife, (The Old Delta) thus giving her the Delta position once again, and with the Delta’s approval, only then is he able to kill the Beta Male, and re-establish the original status quo.

Sparta’s visual is, for many but not for all gays [yes, black and white or simplorious thinking, yu problme], attractive BUT… its simple and masculine story attract mostly masculinists.

Interesting how ”complex” or confuse/irrational a white civilization can be… in the same place, homophobia and a culturally-specific homophilia [pederasty]. So weird, so white…
White culture evolved to complexity but don’t know how to manage it for long time, it’s sad.
Melo your fucking retarded and i have to explain the definition of words to you please go back to hi school.
You just cant accept when someone is clearly more intelligent. You have a huge inferiority complex.
So I went to sleep contemplating, the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega, Social Hierarchy and how women and men lead it differently.
In Gorillas, the Alpha, Beta, Delta positions are held by men.
In Bonobos, the Alpha, Beta, Delta positions are held by women.
In Humans, the Alpha, Beta, Delta positions are held by either sex, depending where, and what time period you happen to be in In short whether the Alpha, Beta, Delta spots are held by men or women varies.
In Bonobos, the women force the men to build nests, and then the women sleep with all males in the community. The Alpha woman forms a pair bond with the best nest builder, however its usually the male with the biggest testicles and longest penis, and therefore the most semen, with the shortest distance for semen to travel that actually fathers the most amount of children and is therefore the “true” Alpha male.
Bees have a similar system as well, were all the male bees are workers, and they all have sex with the queen, then immediately die afterward. Whom gets the Queen Bee pregnant does not matter, it only matters that she gets pregnant at all and creates the next generation. What makes the Alpha male does not come down to who produces the most honey, but the intangibles, like, which male has the longest stinger, a longer stinger means a shorter distance sperm/semen has to travel.
When I fell asleep, in my dream all my friends and family members got together at a party and started having sex with each other. I did not attend and simply, explored the dream landscape, and went to my friends house whom lives right next to the party location.
I reasoned with him that I already reproduced with my Baby Mom so I was not at any disadvantage from not showing up. Also mind you as me and him are talking I’m absolutely disgusted that this swinger party is even going on in the first place. In the dream the people were saying my own father set up the party, and that’s when I KNEW. Yes it was his hands that sent the invitations and his mouth that said come on down, but i knew it was his wife, that incepted the idea in the first place, because my father does nothing 1st, he is Beta to his wife.
I woke up with the realization, that females try to invert the natural social order of Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega.
When females run a society they enslave the males by domesticating them, into being the ultimate providers, the ultimate nest builders, so that the females have the best environment to lay their eggs.However the female brain tries to invert the natural order by trying to make every male, and woman, equal social status, regardless of whom is the best provider or who is the most attractive, etc.
Then biology has sort of a “Knock Back” effect, were natural selection rewards the very males, the women hate most, the worst nest builders and worst providers, are then “blessed” by natural selection with the largest penis’s and testicles.
God you must be a troll.
I really can’t fathom levels of retardation this extreme.
Men and women are words designed to refer to human males and females, respectively.
”When females run a society they enslave the males by domesticating them”
And when it’s the ”males” who run society**
Melo you are the largest troll, and its your retardation that pollutes the existing gene pull, lets be thankful you are impotent and cant have children.
Munchkin when males run society, they do the same thing, they enslave, but its how they enslave that’s different.
Well I’m just saying if all those grammatical errors and mental gymnastics aren’t on purpose then it’s more likely you’re the retarded one.
Your not saying anything, and have never contributed anything to this blog, whatsoever. Name one contribution to this blog, just 1. I know you can’t but go ahead just say 1.

Both of you have contributed lots to this blog so stop wasting time with personal attacks. Any further personal attacks against each other will be moderated or redacted.
Well I do have a guest post on this blog and may be making another soon.

Lol
This reply isn’t a personal attack, right?
Pumpkin next he will begin to start personally attacking you, he has some sort of agenda.
Lmao
What’s funny is that usually the only time I get moderated is when I do “attack” him
Pumpkin what is your opinion on the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega, Social Hierarchy?
the neurologist said he detected no abnormalities but he could give me a brain scan to see if there was any atrophy of my caudate or he could order a genetic test. i declined, as do 90-95% people at risk. he just confirmed everything i’ve said. there’s nothing they can do whether it’s hd or some other genetic neurodegenerative disease so there’s no medical point in knowing.
and the neurologist was a first generation chinese american, so peepee can trust him.
but he did ask me if i’d ever had sex with a black woman.
”the neurologist said he detected no abnormalities”

one obvious trait patty mills has is short legs…relative to his black african teammates.
Did you hear about the white high schooler who just broke some 100-meter record recently? I think there’s a small minority of white gifted high school athletes who aren’t being identified for some reason. Maybe Trump and MAGA will lead to be better identification of white athletes.
For a long time the only non-West Africans to have won the 100-meter in international competition were a Namibian and a half-Abo.
Did hear how he had a 4.2 mph wind? Someone “bested” Bolt’s 200 m, but he had a wind too and it didn’t count in the record.
I’m not taking anything away from the kid. The kid has an insane stride and leg length. But it’s not as incredible as people are making it out to be.
“I think there’s a small minority of white gifted high school athletes who aren’t being identified for some reason”
!Lmao. Let’s see if this kid goes pro and see if he can even sniff Bolt’s record. I’d bet a year’s salary that he won’t sniff it.
HBDers need to get real, especially when it comes to sports. Of course there’s a small section of “gifted white athletes”, and they are identified.
“Maybe Trump and MAGA will lead to be better identification of white athletes.”
Cringe.
Is so cringey seeing HBDers talk about sports. Especially Steve Sailer. Look at how cringey this is. He’s positing a type of stereotype threat in regard to running. Sailer doesn’t understand the intricacies of somatotype and physiology when it comes to sport. How the fuck can anyone say this if they know anything about muscle movement, anatomy and physiology? Oh wait, he doesn’t know anything he’s just some accountant.
I’m sure Sailer knows this since he read The Sports Gene: one high-school in Kenya produced 4 sub-4 minute mile runners. Why posit some kind of stereotype threat when it’s clear to see why this happens? Tons of factors go into elite athletic phenotypes and it happens to be the case that Kenyans (Kalenjin, the Nandi sub-tribe to be specific) dominate these competitions for numerous reasons.
One comment I saw said his form was terrible and he should be able to improve in college. He’s now achieved 10.13 seconds with a 1.3 mph tailwind, which allows him to claim the high school record since it’s below some 2 mph limit. Bolt apparently achieved his record with a slight headwind.
His technique looks alright to me, could be better. He was slow off the gun too. Maybe he can break 10 s but I doubt he’ll be anywhere near Bolt even with technique changes/faster start. How fast was the tailwind for Bolt? Are you talking about his fastest time? I’ve not read anything on that. I do know that if Bolt was quicker off the gun he could hit somewhere around 9.53 s which is so fucking insane.
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/04/21/usain-bolt-anatomy-and-physiology-of-a-champion-bolts-record-times-can-be-better/
I’ve worked with high-level sprinters before. I’d need to see more tape on the lid before making any more comments.
Bolt had a 0.9 meters per second tailwind when he set the current 100m world record, according to Wikipedia. (I incorrectly said he had a headwind).
Pumpkin, most all of my nonverbal scores besides visual puzzles are average. Is the visual puzzles underestimating my nonverbal capacity?
Pumpkin, does Matrix reasoning type things transfer in all subjects?
Why did you delete all those comments? Usually you just moderate them.
Because you can’t defend your views in debate (i.e. our recent froman discussion) you vent by leaving insulting comments.
I defended my views fine. Those comments were statements of fact. What part of them did you disagree with/
I disagree that froman’s power is independent of the interest group he speaks for. As soon as he stops advancing the financial and/or ethnic interests of a certain segment of the donar class, he’s replaced. Individual power is fleeting, group power is lasting.
Your thinking is circular. How does the ‘Wall Street interest group’ vex power in him? Elections? Surveys? He IS the person who has the power. What part of that don’t you get?
No your thinking is circicular. You’re saying he’s powerful because he’s powerful: circular logic. I’m saying he’s powerful because he speaks for Wall Street. They gave him this power by promoting him to executive at citi group. Obama follows his orders because if he doesn’t, no more campaign contributions & no lucrative speaking gigs when he retires.
But if froman asks Obama to appoint Elizabeth Warren it’s a red flag that he’s gone rogue or is trying to set Obama up. Obama then phones other wall street execs to get their opinion. They tell him that’s insane & Obama realizes froman does not speak for wall
Street & stops taking his phone calls & froman likely loses citi group gig.
So ultimately froman’s only powerful
enough to decide WHICH pro-wall street people get in the cabinet. He’s not powerful enough to get anti-wall Street people in the cabinet. That’s the limit of individual power
Pumpkin is correct society is constantly evolving to limit the power of the Alpha male, so he does not exploit the group.
Name the executives that appointed him and that obama notionally rings if Froman goes off the reservation. It would seem these people are the powerbrokers then?
(FYI Froman is the power broker. He decides who gets promoted at city. He doesn’t have a boss, but you can try name someone you think controls him).
His boss is all the shareholders at citi and the board of directors & all investors in general. You keep thinking of power as an exclusively individual trait, not understanding that a large group of ordinary people can overpower the most powerful person in the world.
This is true not just of socio-economic power but physical power too. Even in chimps you’ll see a bunch of weak chimps get together & beat up the muscular alpha male.
You realise bank shareholders barely know whats going on in the management of the company. Since when do bank shareholders have a united view on who should be in Obamas cabinet?
who do you think hired froman for that job in the first place? There’s obviously people at citi bank (large shareholders, members of the board) who know enough to vote on who gets executive jobs, and if they suspected froman was using his clout to betray the very people who gave it to him, he’s toast. They are united that Obama’s cabinet needs to be pro-wall street because their wealth depends on it it.
Shareholders don’t decide. The same way shareholders often dont decide the editors of newspapers or producers of a hollywood film. The answer is Froman was probably hired by another jew way back when who was an elite.
My impression is that the way the conspiracy works is a web like constellation of individuals with similar goals across the finance, media, government, and entertainment worlds who obviously are mostly jewish. The don’t all have the same ‘boss’ and even if they do have a boss, their private or politicial activities aren’t made known.
Even if the shareholders have no power to hire or fire him, Obama takes his phone calls because he’s seen as a highly competent advocate for Wall Street interests.
That way when donors ask “what have you done for us lately?” Obama can say in private meetings with them “I’m such a good friend to Wall Street that my entire cabinet was picked by the CEO of citi group”
But that talking point only works as long as froman is seen as a pro-Wall Street & his picks are genuinely pro-wall Street. If he picks Elizabeth Warren for Obama’s cabinet, that’s no longer true , & so Obama stops taking his advice.
this is why it makes sense to speak of wall street interests even though wall street isn’t a person, it’s a group of people. but froman belonged to a smaller group of people with rubin at the top. obama would have to replace rubin as his svengali if he supported froman’s warren appointment. would obama dare do this?
Well Im basically trying to say Rubin can change obama from the democrat ticket, but obama can’t change rubin from the CFR.
How would Rubin change Obama from the democrat ticket? Be specific.
froman and obama knew one another at HLS. froman advised obama in his 2004 senate race. froman introduced rubin to obama. froman met rubin working under him in the treasury department.
“The lists will continue to grow,” Froman wrote to Podesta, “but these are the names to date that seem to be coming up as recommended by various sources for senior level jobs.”
The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money.
but this shows that rubin is the master of hillary too. creepy. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/4647
peepee can’t accept that obama and oprah are just house negroes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Negro
House negroes are only possible in white supremacist societies. In Jewish run societies it’s white uncle gentiles like Peterson & Cochran who fill that role
the alt-right/”right-wing populism” is going to win for the simple reason that the existing establishment in europe and its diaspora is tired, moribund, 100% corrupt, 100% discredited, 100% ineffective. it can’t hold on much longer, and the alt-right is the only group which could possibly replace it. bernie and corbyn will be corrupted. this is hegelian.
the french and american revolutions overthrow the aristocracy and replace it with the bourgeoisie, the capitalists, claiming they are replacing it with liberté, égalité, fraternité, whatever bullshit.
then the capitalists are opposed by the marxists and the marxists defeat the capitalists in part with bigger government, worker rights, welfare, etc. but the hard core commies are defeated. the ussr falls due to nationalism and russian communism to the intrigue of mongolian oligarchs.
but then with the fall of the ussr the bourgeoisie starts with its old tricks again, this time claiming they are replacing the ancien regime with anti-racism, transgendered bathrooms, globalization, a global village, etc.
pace fukayama there is no end of history. the capitalists and the mongolians have had their fun.
we’re not just selecting for people who are absolutely unscrupulous, without morals, we’re also selecting for people who are…exceptionally good at lying about it…it suffices to go back to the very beginning…what sort of a person would run for office? what sort of a person would attempt to become super wealthy? some will be moral but they’ll all be ambitious. what do you get when you have very ambitious people very into money and power…this is what we call laughingly “meritocracy”. the fact is we’re not selecting for the best individuals. we’re selecting for the individuals who are most able and willing to commit any kind of wickedness to get where they’re going…but they have to have a kind of faux morality to the popular eye.

Nobody asked to you use this blog as endless psychiatric session.

“black pill” is just used to mean resignation, hopelessness, but wikipedia puts it under “incel” for some resason. it’s funny reading about how “incels” beliefs are mistaken when every example the article gives is obviously true and every man knows it whether he’s an incel or wilt chamberlain.
…a profoundly sexist ideology that…amounts to a fundamental rejection of women’s sexual emancipation, labeling women shallow, cruel creatures who will choose only the most attractive men if given the choice.
wtf? how is that “sexist”? it’s what feminazis say about men all the time. and it’s TRUE. but “attractive” is NOT just physical. or rather it is just physical but only after other criteria have been met, like class, intelligence level, race, nationality, etc. and “physical” includes the voice…the secret of oprah’s success…a physical attribute which don’t get no respect.
the idea that women are pretty much just like gay men is the opposite of “sexist”.
other hilarious stuff in that article. so today the truth is not the truth. it’s what wikipedia editors and other blue haired lesbians think the truth SHOULD be.
100% agree. In my experience women care A LOT about looks. If you have a great body it definitely helps. I think a man can jump 2 points in the 10 point scale by eating properly and lifting weights. Its not speculation – there are many many evo psych reasons for it.
”In my experience women”
Mother and sister.
Well, also the imaginary girlfriends
You forgot to mention the 80/20 rule. The most edgy aspect of “incelism”. Do you agree with it?
this should be called the “reverse appeal to nature”.
An appeal to nature is an argument or rhetorical tactic in which it is proposed that “a thing is good because it is ‘natural’, or bad because it is ‘unnatural'”.
so the “reverse appeal to nature” is the proposition: “nature (facts) is (are) what they SHOULD be, and claims to the contrary are motivated by thought crime.”
so…
conservatardism: appeal to nature + claiming the status quo is natural
liberalotardism: reverse appeal to nature
so the “reverse appeal to nature” is the proposition: “nature (facts) is (are) what it (they) SHOULD be, and claims to the contrary are motivated by thought crime.”

family matters.
no matter how horrible your parents or siblings are/were…they’re still your parents or siblings. you’d like nothing more than to get along with them.
is privileging one’s own family immoral?
in some ways and not in others.
the big organization is something very NEW. it started 200+ years ago in northern england.
you go to work and you pretend your co-workers are family, but only because you have to…and you rarely ever learn that much about them.

white people can’t defecate in the street, because they don’t defecate. the only non-white person i know of who doesn’t defecate is kim jong un.

my irish setter, after consulting with paul ryan, has concluded that ugly dogs are lazy.

are irish people OFFENDED by being a mascot for notre dame?
“it’s interesting…” as chomsky has said so many times…

I prefer aryan boys and women with such strain as Greta Garbo, very different than your working class-musculous-guys you like.
So i was reading about Venezuala in the Economist and saw Roberts question about it. Basically a section of american elites have really had it in for venezuala ever since Chavez nationalised all the oil in the early 00s. Chavez survived 2 CIA coup attempts.
I don’t know why the economy has hit the skids. Countries that borrow in their own money can’t go broke, so I don’t know what theyre printing all that money for. They also make their own oil so it can’t be cost inflation.
Japan has a debt:GDP ratio of something like 200% plus. Whenever I read in newspapers or in the media that a country is ‘living beyond its means’ I have to laugh at the fraud of that statement because if you borrow in your own money YOU CAN NEVER GO BROKE because you can just print it away.
Thats the whole point of Modern Monetary Theory. I was reading about MMT 7 or 8 years ago before anyone even heard of it.
I have to laugh at the fraud of that statement because if you borrow in your own money YOU CAN NEVER GO BROKE because you can just print it away
But the value of your currency is based on supply and demand. You flood the market with so much supply that demand can’t keep up, and it becomes essentially worthless.
But debt is a fixed number
if you have to destroy your currency to erase your debt, are you any better off? Not really.
Currency isn’t an obligation, debt (+interest) is. In fact some countries benefit from a weaker currency.
peepee is spouting the “monetization causes inflation” bullshit.
that theory has been tested and FALSIFIED.
how Does printing money not cause inflation? I know nothing about economics, but supply & demand is just common sense. If everyone is given a million dollars then the price of milk & bread will skyrocket
i’ve mentioned this many times. the claim is that when the debt is monetized this produces inflation. but the boj now owns 50% of japan’s debt and there’s no inflation.
it’s a fraud. the GOP likes yuge deficits because they think they can drive up the debt so much that one day they can say, “sorry folks we can’t afford government anymore.” it’s pure evil.
yeah. when you hear some politician worrying about the debt you know he’s either evil or stupid.
national debt is only a problem for EU countries, but the ECB has been monetizing their debts.
that is, among developed countries.
developing countries have to issue their debt in dollars or euros…not their own currency.
Puppy keeps saying he finds it unbelievable a central bank would print money and hand it to people. Well, the central bank kind of does that officially with QE or during crisis periods with emergency 0% loans.
I guarantee if another financial crises happened and the government was ‘broke’, the CB would print money and hand it to the banks directly to recapitalise. But obviously that would be a political minefield because it makes you wonder why they don’t print money and use it to fund elderly care or a Mars mission or Ultra high speed broadband etc etc. Thats what MMT people wonder about.
What I wonder about is whether actual individuals have access to the printing press. Since the president appoints the Fed Chair and board members. And since Robert Rubin picks the president, then that means Rubin probably vetted the Fed Chair.
We already know Goldman runs the US treasury. Its a long running joke on Wall Street that the US Treasury is a Goldman department.
What I find unbelievable is that there are people who illegally printed their way to being richer than bill gates.
Most media is such bullshit its unbelievable. I subscribe to the economist but I have to fuckin cringe every time they intersperse good journalism to do a yet another story on the Mueller report or mention Russia brainwashing Trump to be a secret russian spy.
I said it too when Rachel Maddow started talking about russia.
I used to see these adds on MSNBC of Maddow in her office with tons of documents and records as she dutifully prepares her show with research….and then only to talk about fuckin russia…
Its the equivalent of a university professor during a lecture pulling down his trousers and starting to do lapdancing. You can’t take anything else he says seriously even though factually his lecture was correct before and after the lapdancing.
The comments underneath this video…..what do you think these people social IQ is? Do you think they could tell the difference between a dead person and someone who is alive?
Ever since Putin blocked Zions advance on Syria, the (((US Media))) has been on a witchunt for a russian. And Robert thinks this is all a bunch of fuckin birds flying in a formation hahahahaha.
actually i’ve said russia-gate is a de jure conspiracy and not just (((starlings))).
Operation Mockingbird (Allen Dulles) : Iraq/Russia/Libya/Iran-gate etc etc
Car from 1950s: Car from 2000s
yes. the idea for russia-gate started with hillary and was executed by brennan. it’s not a kosher conspiracy, and i wouldn’t be surprised if brennan goes to jail.
The wiki on project mockingbird makes it sound a lot less significant that Talbot who basically said the WAPO/NYT and other major news orgs were told what to write about by Allen Dulles.
In my opinion, the CIA/Mossad (same thing) tells ABC/CNN etc what to say about major international stories just like Dulles told their predecessors in the 50s and 60s.
You especially get ‘the company line’ about cases like Assange and Snowden in particular.
And why in your opinion would ABC/CNN let the CIA produce their shows for them? Because the trust them? Because they fear them? Because they share the same goals? Because it’s a mutually beneficial relationship? Because they’re being bribed? Because they’re being blackmailed?
Mutually beneficial. CIA acts as gatekeeper for information (offers “access” to high level govt officials). Stay within the confines of the official narrative and keep your privileged access.
ABC/CNN gets to claim privileged access which imparts credibility and gets viewers. Individual news stations curate for their various audiences. So CNN pretends to be “objective” and sober while MSNBC gets people riled up like Fox. Different style same substance.
CIA delivers and omits info as they see fit and the news stations act as the marketing department
CIA has key media figures on its payroll in both the US and Europe. On very rare occasions some US journalist will discreetly allude to this fact (I have only seen it mentioned twice, once by the author of _Family of Secrets_ and I don’t remember the other source). Some years ago in Germany, a prominent journalist, recently retired I suppose, wrote a book revealing that not only had he himself been on the CIA payroll, but so was every important European journalist he was acquainted with. The book seems to have elicited no comment in the US media.
Yes. I’ve known about this since reading Devils Chessboard when Allen Dulles was paying off people as part of Operation Northwoods.
Pumpkin, if you got 8 items correct in 18 seconds on symbol search, but only got two right in the next 8 seconds, on the next thirty seconds, will your performance more closely reflect the 2 in 8, or would it be an average of both?
it would be a WEIGHTED average of both.
What does everyone make of the fact that the lower one’s position is on the social hierarchy the lower their probability of staying healthy and having a high life expectancy?
What about when people have the same type of health insurance and are treated for the same disease in the same hospital by the same doctor, that minority groups get worse health care, either not receiving it or receiving lower standards of quality in care?
See eg:
About 52 percent of PCPs [primary care physicians] reported having patient panels with less than 30 percent minorities, 36 percent reported that 30–70 percent of their patients are minorities, and 12 percent reported that minorities constituted more than 70 percent of their patient panels in 2004–05. The variation in the minority composition of physician patient panels indicates that a relatively small number of physicians treated a disproportionately large share of minority patients, consistent with previous findings.
Our results indicate that the minority makeup of physicians’ patient panels is associated with greater reports from physicians of difficulties providing high-quality care. At least some of this relationship appears to be explained by the lower resources flowing to high-minority practices.
https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.27.3.w222#_i15
The results of this study suggest that racial and ethnic disparities in primary health care are in part systemic in nature, and the lower resources flowing to physicians treating more minority patients are a contributing factor.
What should be done about this?
1) EGI: Doctors put more effort into saving coethnics: she looks like my italian grandma. I’ll make sure she gets the best medicine.
2) IQ: low IQ populations don’t understand the doctor’s advice and damage their health
3) r/K: some populations have faster life history so don’t live as long, even with good medical care
“1) EGI: Doctors put more effort into saving coethnics: she looks like my italian grandma. I’ll make sure she gets the best medicine.”
Bullshit.
“2) IQ: low IQ populations don’t understand the doctor’s advice and damage their health”
“low IQ” populations have no problem understanding my advice and sticking to their plans—there are other explanations than “low IQ.”
“3) r/K: some populations have faster life history so don’t live as long, even with good medical care”
Yea, we’re being serious here.
“1) EGI: Doctors put more effort into saving coethnics: she looks like my italian grandma. I’ll make sure she gets the best medicine.”
If this truly is the case, these doctors need to be found and have their licenses revoked for good and they need to be named and shamed.
I find it interesting how racism/discrimination wasn’t one of your hypotheses. Why not?
rr is sounding gayer and gayer.
preference for one’s own race is NOT just a matter of sexual narcissism.
we all have an ideal in our heads. what we’d like our children to look like. this ideal is hard to imagine when the children will be mixed race. they can turn out super sexy like ray dawn chong or shari belafonte…but there’s still no ideal…if only because this population is so small.
if you’re a human and not a slave to your appetites, you care about the quality of your issue.
so from the HBD pov you get more inequality because quality people are having fewer children and their children are very high quality.
peepee doesn’t know what “issue” means.
“preference for one’s own race is NOT just a matter of sexual narcissism.”
Doctors shouldn’t have a “preference for their own race”.
”rr is sounding gayer and gayer.”
Specialist
It’s also interesting to note that the social can and does become biological.
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/05/05/race-medicine-and-epigenetics/
Epigenetic effects can and do pass from generation to generation. This is what sociologist Maurizio Meloni calls “the postgenomic body”.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6099977/
The social can and does manifest itself in biological ways, as Gravlee and Kaplan note:
Click to access 10.1002%40ajpa.20983.pdf
Click to access 2e69febae5953bc154e29388c29e77f392c9.pdf
So, environments are, in a way, inherited too. The effects of racism can manifest themselves in future generations via epigenetic mechanisms.
yeah. until proven otherwise…
1. differences are small. anecdotes aside. the oldest man in america was a black man in texas recently. steve jobs and paul allen died from cancer before age 70. differences vary a lot with geography within the US. being poor in some cities doesn’t affect life expectancy believe it or not. so it likely varies a lot by country too. asian americans live longer than asians in asia.
2. most rich people have less stress.
3. most rich people take better care of themselves because they know how to because higher IQ.
4. peepee thinks age at death is partly genetic. the twin studies show it’s not, so you know it’s not, as twin studies always exaggerate heritability. but that doesn’t mean there may not be a few freakish long-lived or short-lived families. it’s just that they’re so rare they don’t affect the estimate of heritablity.
Rich people have better access to health care compared to poor people—leaps and bounds.
Rich people have better access to health care compared to poor people—by leaps and bounds.
Well clearly this is because measurements of life expectancy and health are actually just measurements of social class. Hahahahaha!
I wonder what Melo knows about the field of public health.
Maybe you’ll find out one day.
I actually just started studying it. Enlighten me Melo. What do you know about it?
Well it’s a large field of study. Most of what I know is from my experience in weight lifting and nutrition. Nothing super specific. Just general bits of knowledge here and there.
True. What program do you use and how is your nutrition?
What type of program? My job can be labor extensive and I do sports on the side. I fast occasionally, and just try to stay away from fast food. My gf usually cooks for me.
I’ve never really had an assay of any kind, but I like the way I look so I assume I’m healthy.
I mean, labor-intensive job doesn’t beat a full, solid lifting program. What sport? Organized?
What does your woman cook for you? Ever carb/calorie cycle?
One can look healthy but have a shitty assay.
Ya but I’m not really interested in getting any bigger.
A lot of sports. In the summer i kayak, play football, basketball, I hike, fishing etc. In the winter all I really do is snowboard or occasionally hunt with my buddy.
I mean it varies. Mostly greens, pasta, chicken, and deer. I rarely eat fruit.
How do I go about getting one of those?

PP, I wonder when the person who wrote mine, and Emil’s, and Cofnas’ and hbdchick’s (Ir)Rational Wiki pages will write one for you. That website is such a joke.
Here’s the new edit on me:
RaceRealist started out as a supporter of hereditarianism racist theories about IQ and a fanboy of Richard Lynn and Arthur Jensen, but later to his credit rejected these views. Instead however of giving up all his racialist beliefs, he still defends racialism,[1] albeit minus the IQ pseudoscience. The latter has led to him to be criticised as still being a racist but using a deceptive motte and bailey strategy of trying to present himself as a more moderate non-hereditarian “race realist” when he still retains the old racist IQ beliefs about inferior black people in private. Furthermore, despite claiming to have changed his views on the latter – all his old pro-hereditarianism posts on his blog are still up alongside background photos of white supremacists.[2][3]
Wow, how can they know my motivations and what I think “about inferior black people in private”?
I warned you that using the name race realist was going to cause you trouble
But I agree it’s absurd of them to accuse you of PRETENDING to change your views. Your scientific views have genuinely changed
I remember that. They were more preoccupied with the old “88” in my handle though.
The idiots at (Ir)RationalWiki need to understand that when it comes to racial realism there are distinctions. For example, Kaplan and Winther (2014) discuss three different accounts:
Bio-genomic cluster/racial realism claims that population structure exists in Homo sapiens, assessed through genomic or “phenomic” (e.g., anthropometrics) measures (e.g., Theodosius Dobzhansky, Neil Risch).
Biological racial realism affirms that a stable mapping exists between
the social groups identified as races and groups characterized genomi-
cally or, at least, phenomically. That the groups are biological populations explains why the particular social groups, and not others, are so identified. Furthermore, for some, but by no means all, biological racial realists, the existence of biological populations (and of the biologically grounded properties of their constituent individuals) explains and justifies at least some social inequalities (e.g., the “hereditarians”; Jensen 1969; Herrnstein and Murray 1995; Rushton 1995; Lynn and Vanhanen 2002).
Social racial realism defends the existence of distinct human groups in our ordinary discourse and social interactions. Such groups are often identified and stabilized by “surface” factors such as skin color or facial features.
https://philpapers.org/rec/KAPRAA
I would add myself, Hardimon, and Spencer to bio-genomic/cluster racial realism, you to their biological racial realism and Dorothy Roberts to their social racial realism.
Though there could be confusion on terms. For instance, Hardimon calls what Kaplan and Winther call “biological racial realism” the concept of racialist races. I don’t think Spencer has a name for them. Hardimon’s concept of socialrace is just like Kaplan and Winther’s concept of social racial realism (and just like Roberts’ concept of race as a political entity).
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/01/27/dorothy-roberts-on-race-as-a-political-entity/
In any case, Spencer’s concept has race being both social and biological, while Hardimon splits the two concepts. Roberts’ concept of race as a political entity is just like Hardimon’s socialrace category.
Which brings me to Helmuth Nyborg. He published a paper at the end of last month saying that social constructivists about race deny that race exists.
https://www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/1/1/11/htm
See my response:
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/05/06/30987/
But the claim that social constructivists about race deny that race exists is a ridiculous notion. Nyborg was responding to racial anti-realists/eliminativists, not social constructivists about race.
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/04/21/social-constructivists-about-race-are-realists-about-race/
In any case, there are a lot of misconceptions about what racial realism is and means, and there are distinctions between “HBD biological racial realism” and what biological racial realism means in the philosophical literature which I don’t think those at (Ir)RationalWiki understand.
it’s very rare for someone to reject hbd while also being a race realist. That’s why they think you’re a closet hbder. That combined with the fact that you used to be an HBDer & a pretty racist one to boot.
But they’re wrong about you still being an hbder. A closet hbder would not spend thousands of hours attacking hbd as you have. You might still be a racist though. Even your good friend Afro had said I passed his racism test but you didn’t
I wonder if I’d pass the racism test
I think you would
What exactly did it consist of? This way RR can tell us if it’s construct valid or not. Lolol
It basically consisted of Afro cross-examining you about your political and scientific views & you being able to give answers that sound sincerely non-racist, even if they’re not logical per se (to Afro)
https://pumpkinperson.com/2017/04/08/population-genetics-and-language-by-afrosapiens/comment-page-2/#comment-56586
Well RR definitely sounded a little racist in that conversation.
“it’s very rare for someone to reject hbd while also being a race realist. That’s why they think you’re a closet hbder. That combined with the fact that you used to be an HBDer & a pretty racist one to boot.”
Right. But appealing to motivation is retarded. I did used to be a racist. But I’ve since seen, years back, how idiotic those kinds of views are.
“But they’re wrong about you still being an hbder. A closet hbder would not spend thousands of hours attacking hbd as you have. You might still be a racist though. Even your good friend Afro had said I passed his racism test but you didn’t”
Nope, not at all. I’ve dated non-white women recently. Is it even possible for someone to proclaim that I’m still a racist when I’ve been on dates with different women from different ethnic groups?
Ah, so you’re finally getting that jungle fever. I knew you’d come around.
Hahaha wow. I feel so old. That was from literally right before my view changes.
“It basically consisted of Afro cross-examining you about your political and scientific views & you being able to give answers that sound sincerely non-racist, even if they’re not logical per se (to Afro)”
Hahahahaha this is the funniest thing puppy has ever said.
“Well RR definitely sounded a little racist in that conversation.”
I agree. I remember saying to afro once that “I know specifically what I hate about certain groups of people.” Cringe. I used to be a fucking retard in regard to that. I’ll see if I can dig that comment up later.
RR is not racist AGAINST other groups, he is fundamentally positively racist with his own group. The radical change of RR’s attitude towards white nationalism is because nordicists purists ones against southern italian whiteness, for them suspicious whiteness.
^^ Appeal to motive.
My view changes came from reading and having an open mind on things. I know it’s hard for some to comprehend that.
Open your mind too much… But, mind is not physical, is*
RaceRealist asked: ” Is it even possible for someone to proclaim that I’m still a racist when I’ve been on dates with different women from different ethnic groups?”
Absolutely. It is entirely possible to date, and even marry and procreate with, someone of a race which you consider to be inferior on average. Not every individual is average.
What I would write for your wiki:
RR is a misnomer and actually confuses people about the real nature of RRs views which are 95% endorsed by the Berkeley sociology department and Jeff Zucker. Therefore by its nature they are NOT controversial at all”
Stupid.
Rae Dawn Chong Calls Oprah Winfrey A ‘Field N****r’ & Brown-Noser’ In A Recent Radio Interview
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rae-dawn-chong-blasts-oprah-winfrey-interview_n_3624184
I will always love RDC for quest for fire but like a lot of light skinned “blacks” she’s jealous that an overweight black looking black woman from the low class leap frogged past her to become the most worshipped billionaire on the planet
RDC’s dad even admits RDC is just jealous of the brilliant Oprah & notes that Oprah’s so intelligent she would have been running the whole plantation:
“the most worshipped billionaire on the planet”
i.e. the Queen of England
The queen of England’s not a billionaire & she’s not as worshipped as oprah.
Shes head of state for something like more than 10 countries around the world.
But most her assets are owned by the public, not her personally.
Well its a bit muddled. Its the equivalent to the pope’s assets being all the religious buildings and assets in the catholic church.
What do you mean by weighted average of both (about my question about symbol search)? Also, is this your speculation, or is it based on empirical data?
does al sharpton know how ridiculous he SOUNDS?
maybe a little. because if he did a lot, he wouldn’t continue to sound so black.
why are black romans so successful?
because the universal church doesn’t do black dysfunction?
because catholicity means black-ness is a heresy?
so my theory is supported by elections in europe and trump’s election, even though trump has mostly not delivered.
the point is that the only constant is change, so the idea of an eternal triumph of the capitalist class and transgendered bathrooms is kind of dis-confirmed by history…
in other words…the establishment is always replaced eventually…by another establishment…
and the alt-right is by far the best candidate for replacing the existing establishment.
but the alt-right is not very conscious of this.
but it could be made conscious of it.
alt-right = democracy
not because “supremacism” but because small and homogeneous maximizes democracy.
denmark has greenland…but other than that its only colony was what is today called the virgin islands…
since chuck norris visited the virgin islands, they have been known as “the islands”.
The story flowers for algernon is a very good short story. The movie was not that good.
Actually the movie was very good. So was the remake
The old one was severely criticised for the performance as charlie.
peepee and rr are OBSESSED with skin color.
peepee even LIES about it.
the lightest skinned people are europeans because high latitude…less sunlight.
ulaanbaatar is the COLDEST capital city…but it’s NOT the northernmost…
capiche?
europeans are fair because cold AND because latitude. cold means covering clothes…vitamin d…
how many times have i said it…
western europe is freakishly WARM for its latitude because gulf stream and surrounded by water. atlantic, med, baltic, north sea, etc.
inverness is 4 degrees higher latitude than petropavlovsk.
capiche?

That feel when the fall of Western Civilization is preceded by women hyphenating their last names. How’s that for modern behavior?
When I was younger it was usually an upper class thing to do. If you went to private school you would often see it in pupils names.
Pumpkin, what did you mean when you said weighted average?
Well if 25% of your data is x and 75% is y, it’s dumb to take an average of x and y because y is three times as common as x
So a weighted average would be 0.25x + 0.75y
That makes sense. I guess if you have such a fluctuation, there’s going to be a point in which it all averages out.
So, according to those stats, since I’d most likely get 11 during the first 30 seconds, I’m not going to keep a 11 items per 30 second rate, I’m probably going to go down by quite a bit?
Actually no, it’d be at 11 items per 30 seconds.
Man, the new tomb raider game is really long. I put in a 7 hour shift last night and only improved game completion by 20 odd % points.
The past year has been a very extraordinary year for gaming. Lots of ‘blockbuster’ releases. Shadow of the Tomb Raider actually got little press in relation to the other releases earlier this year.
So theyve made 2 tomb raider movies and both flopped.

The first tomb raider with Jolie was really bad. I remember going to the cinema to see it, but don’t remember anything about the movie other than the shower scene.
I have the inside track that Alicia Vikander might be a ‘willing participant’ of Harvey Weinsteins. Although Im not certain 100%.
This went viral. Basically ben looks very churlish in this and people have said the BBC ‘destroyed’ him.
Shapiro is a very annoying person to me. Even the voice is nasal. No surprise he sided with the jewish reporter that faked being attacked by lewandowski during the trump campaign.
Shapiro also says hes an orthodox jew and that jews are the ‘least religious’ ethnic group even though the vast majority of jews believe the land of Israel is promised to jews according to their holy books by God and should be reserved for jews as such.
Yes Shapiro did get destroyed. He’s always struck me as a bit autistic with that fast paced robotic speaking style
Jews probably are the least religious given their high IQs. But you can be atheist & still wildly pro-Israel. Lion for example
Jewish religion is just like european pantheism, it’s ethnic. % of secular jews are reducing significantly but i also think most of them are ”produced” among ”religious’ jews. A lot of officially religious jews are just like a lot of religious non-jews, artificial or fake believers. Big names of religions are mostly atheists, materialistic atheists [often the dark side of atheism], specially murrican evangelism, every ”religion” [mythology] which money is important, we will have an elite of closet-atheist leaders.
he’s short, has a winy voice, and he talks too fast.
Puppys hero talking about capitalism vs socialism.
Munger is actually probably the smartest person there in terms of who I’d want to have dinner with.
I watched a video of him saying something really HBD about jews and intelligence and the audience went silent when he said it lol
he’s said the same thing about china people.
buffett is more autistic than gates irl, but less in interviews.
I don’t know why alt right people keep talking about Soros as if hes the puppetmaster. Hes plainly not. His views on foreign policy are directly contradictory to the (((neocons))).
The closest thing to a stereotypical puppetmaster is Rubin or Evelyn Rothschild.
Notice the way the 2 best people in human history who made their money through pure gambling (Soros and Buffet) tend to see the use of progressive taxation.
Soros is another person I would like to have dinner with and ask questions. But only on the condition he wouldn’t lie about his opinions. I strongly strongly suspect Soros is smart enough to see HBD is real while still being a ‘bleeding heart liberal’ according to CNN in the video.
He’s probably one of the most intelligent billionaires. He and oprah are both one of the very few billionaires given a self-made score of 10 out of 10 by Forbes
He might be a puppet master when it comes to domestic Jewish interests (diversity) but not foreign Jewish interests (Israel)
Trump supporter Sheldon Adelson is the opposite
Pumpkin I have two questions for you.
1. Is it safe to say that my IQ is 118 and will continue to be 118 or at least in the high average range?
2. Can you put my 118 IQ to the test and come up with a situation to adapt to (you pick)?
Come up with something that’s realistic for a 15 year old.
Please answer 🙂
Hello
Its me
I was wonderinggggg if you can answer my two questions.
Pumpkin I have two questions for you.
1. Is it safe to say that my IQ is 118 and will continue to be 118 or at least in the high average range?
2. Can you put my 118 IQ to the test and come up with a situation to adapt to (you pick)?

Pass AP calculus on your first try
“K Dot” I am confident that IQ is malleable at your age, still – although to a marginal degree on average. You need to be studious from here on out, because how much you can grow is dependent on your genetics. Obviously you don’t have information on what God has given you exactly, so study, study, study!
It is safe to say that your IQ is 118 and will continue to be so if you retain your current habits. However, again, your cognitive profile is more important. You have a genius level inductive reasoning ability. That means you should be able to extract connections between or within things. That’s powerful! Your fluid IQ is also superior at 128. That means your learning potential is high – and if my understanding is correct, crystallized IQ equals fluid IQ plus the genetic limit of your crystallized potential. Assuming this is your genetic fluid IQ, your potential has not been met yet; your IQ could still be in the process of developing!
Billy can you maybe go more in depth on what I should study?
I know you already did so in the past, but now that you know my IQ results/potential, I wouldn’t doubt that now you have different suggestions.
And also Pumpkin emphasized in his one of his old blogs that knowledge doesn’t really make you smarter.
Pumpkin can we maybe go a bit more simpler…
I’m barely “mastering” algebra at a shit high school (i’ll be switching soon).
And also change the challenge to a social situation.
Anyone can master calculus with a great teacher.
Maybe pick some social situation that can’t be taught by someone.
I simply must adapt and turn the situation to my advantage, as your science teacher said.
wait, so Race Realist is a human bio-diversity denier, yet all he talks about is pro human bio diversity?
Pumpkin, if you get 11 items for the first thirty second interval, you’d probably get 11 on the 2nd thirty second interval right? Also, is this based upon research, or is it just speculation?
i was right. the boj now owns ca 50% of jgbs. https://www.japanmacroadvisors.com/page/category/economic-indicators/financial-markets/jgbs-held-by-boj/
there are 2 or 3 reasons i know of why monetization doesn’t cause inflation.
1. the money goes to the rich, who don’t spend it.
2. extra spending power only causes inflation if it not matched by extra production. so if an economy is not producing at capacity free money shouldn’t cause inflation.
3. if deflation would have happened had it not been for QE. that is, inflation matching deflation.
