Lion of the Blogosphere has an interesting article up about the genomics of height and intelligence. He writes:
Height, like intelligence, is a complicated polygenic trait involving hundreds, probably thousands, of genetic variants.
It’s interesting how the discussion has changed in recent years from genes to genetic variants. I even go further and now use the term “genomic variants”.
Lion continues:
But unlike intelligence, it’s not politically incorrect to study the genetics of height, or to assume that if a particular ethnicity is very tall or very short, then it’s because of genetics.
Because if you say a person or ethnicity is genetically smarter, we equate this with genetic superiority, a concept many people find offensive.
But in a way calling a group genetically taller also implies genetic superiority. Height is right up there with intelligence as one of the most universally valued traits. Not only do most women not want to date a guy under 5’9″ but sperm banks don’t even accept their sperm because they’re considered genetic trash.
The culture is awash in height supremacist metaphors: We “look up” to those we admire and “look down” on those we disdain. Taller men make more money, achieve more education, and are more likely to lead corporations and entire nations. “Standing tall” is a metaphor for having dignity.
But of course intelligence is what makes us human. Height is not.
Lion continues:
Thus, it’s interesting that scientists have discovered a single genetic variant that contributes to Peruvians being short.
The same techniques could be used to investigate intelligence. It would be beneficial to study the smartest ethnicity (Ashkenazi Jews) and extremely low-intelligence ethnicities like Aboriginal Australians and southern African Bushmen. I’m sure if we did that, we could discover additional genetic variants related to intelligence.
Scientists are working hard on exactly this, but because it’s politically incorrect to label any extant human populations “low intelligence”, they are instead focusing on extinct ones like Neanderthals. From a New York Times article about Svante Paabo, who played a major role in sequencing the Neanderthal genome:
Reconstructing a Neanderthal genome was a tour de force, we can all agree, but why does it matter?
Paabo spends only a little time directly addressing this question. He argues that the Neanderthal genome can serve as a counterpoint to our own. It enables Paabo and his colleagues to draw up a list of mutations that our ancestors acquired after they split from Neanderthals. Among those mutations may be changes that led to our capacity for language, symbolic thought or the other traits that make us uniquely human.
Popular-archaeology.com states:
These genes may hold key clues to the behavioral differences between modern humans and the extinct, archaic human species. According to Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute, they could constitute “a catalog of genetic features that sets all modern humans apart from all other organisms, living or extinct.”
“I believe,” he added, “that in it hide some of the things that made the enormous expansion of human populations and human culture and technology in the last 100,000 years possible.”
Steve Hsu writes:
What Homo Sapiens accomplished in 50-100k years far outstrips Neanderthal accomplishments over a much longer period of time.
So Pääbo is hoping that by studying the genomic variants that distinguish virtually all anatomically modern humans from virtually all Neanderthals, he’ll discover why our species colonized the entire planet, invented civilization and went to the moon, while Neanderthals languished in the stone age for hundreds of thousands of years.
All this assumes the biggest evolutionary changes occured after we split from Neanderthals some 500,000 years ago, but before human races split from each other, maybe 70,000 years ago for people outside of sub-Saharan Africa, maybe 150,000 to 250,000 years ago for the various groups in sub-Saharan Africa .
But what if the biggest changes are very recent? In 2007 sciencemag.org stated:
Plentiful food has made it easier than ever before to survive and reproduce in many parts of the world, so it’s tempting to think that our species has stopped evolving. But a controversial new study says that isn’t so. Far from slowing down, human evolution has sped up in the past 40,000 years and has become 100 times faster in the past 5000 years alone, according to the analysis.
So should we think of the last 5000 years as half a million years of evolution?
From a 2007 article in REUTERS:
Human evolution has been moving at breakneck speed in the past several thousand years, far from plodding along as some scientists had thought… In fact, people today are genetically more different from people living 5,000 years ago than those humans were different from the Neanderthals who vanished 30,000 years ago …
But if they were more similar to Neanderthals, why are they considered members of our own species, and if so much evolution has occurred in the last 5,000 years, how did we manage to look fully modern by 195,000 years ago (the age when our species first categorically appears in the fossil record)?

this is all ignorance or misunderstanding. GWASs for intelligence have found nothing universal, and what they’ve found within a given narrow context is very small, no more than 10% of the variance explained.
the only hope for the hereditists when it comes to psychological traits of any kind (because of all such traits IQ is by far the most heritable in the twin studies) is CNVs. AND there is reason to believe CNVs, of the intragene repeat count variety, do affect psychological traits as there are a host of neurodegenerative diseases caused by too many repeats, at least 30 known.
“genetic/genomic variant” = “allele” [redacted by pp, dec 15, 2019]
Genomic != genetic
the SNPs studied by chang were MOSTLY extra-gene SNPs i assume.
GWASs look at the whole genome when they look at SNPs i assume.
but maybe the whole thing is the researchers are so dumb they don’t look at non-coding regions…i doubt it.
it’s odd that these repeat disorders all seem to affect the brain more than any other organ/part of the body.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinucleotide_repeat_disorder
Because a disproportionate share of genes are expressed in/unique to the brain
no!
blindingly likely explanation is the brain is the hottest organ.
that is, it consumes more kcals per gram than any other organ…
so more damage can be done…
AND…
a small amount of damage to the brain is much more notice-able and dis-abling than a small amount of damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, stomach, etc.
take the SCAs. they affect only the reptilian brain…if only a small part of your liver were affected you’d probably never notice.
the fact that these disorders exist at all suggests “more is better” until…
they cross a threshold above which they become unstable.
because in order to even have the potential for being unstable they have to be pretty long to begin with…length has been selected for.
the evolution version of a game of chicken:
if this theory were true it makes an interesting (and untestable) prediction:
if people lived long enough, more of the most accomplished people would drop off from neurodegenerative diseases than the less accomplished.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinucleotide_repeat_disorder#Mechanism
Though Alzheimer’s would be more common among the less accomplished
Look at two things.
Genes for brain metabolism and brain structure.
Looking for genes to predict IQ scores is a failed approach.
Brilliant!
I believe that the brain is reverse-engineerable.
And the fact is it has been reverse-engineered.
Network follow rules to reconnect into more intelligent configuration.
With the right rules for a network to reconfigure itself then A.I. can be created.
Right now the big science is using attractor Chaos math to do computer science on the brain network.
Nice!
that’s not MY prediction…
it’s the prediction of hereditism…
as CNVs are their last stand.
CNVs are now the only possible cause of twin concordance/correlation in psychological traits.
from this follows…

as CNVs are their last stand.
CNVs are now the only possible cause of twin concordance/correlation in psychological traits.
from this follows…
Hereditism is nowhere near its last stand. They have yet to do a million person study of people taking a super g loaded test in any country, let alone using cross-cultural procedures.
At the very least they could ask a million genotyped people what their SAT scores were & do the same for college exams in China & have machine learning find the variants that predicted scores in both countries
chang has 2 million iirc.
2 million test scores or education? Education only correlates 0.55 with WAIS IQ
Pretty sure there was already a million+ person GWA study. Of course, variance “explained” was low and it won’t bet much higher which means the relationship is due to pop strat.
Not one using a highly g loaded test that I recall. It’s very hard to get a million+ people to sit for a hour+ long test
An ideal study would get a million people but from many different kinds of countries, all tested on an hour+ long test in their own country & their own language & have machine learning find only the combination of variants that best predicts IQ within all the countries since those are the most likely to be causal
Of course one problem with this is a high score in a genetically low country is not equal to a high score in a genetically high country so ideally you’d want to use z scores standardized on the same ethnic group in every country. I’d suggest unmixed west Africans (excluding voluntary immigrants who are a select group) since they can be found in Africa, America, Caribbean, South America etc
My dad is a retired radiologist who doesn’t believe in evolution. My mom is a chemistry department director of a large biotech company with a total of two PhDs and a Master’s.
I’ve done a significant amount of genomic analysis on myself and usually got a prediction that I was somewhere near or just above or below the average of other people who submitted their DNA reports.
Funny thing is…my parents are very religious and don’t really believe in evolution, genetics, etc. However, they are very wise and most people treat them like gods!
So Mug of Pee, if you ever ran into my parents at say a Costco or something, you’d be kissing their asses instead of the other way around. Just a heads up, you dumbfuck.
what level are your parents in the church of scientology?
LOADEDisamazing,
is this true? or is it just gay propaganda?
…we can certainly see that, unlike the West, Islamic societies do not universally harbor negative attitudes towards bestiality. Many Muslims seek out gratification or are indifferent to this perversion, and in some cases it is even openly promoted and made obligatory…
Aside from their own embarrassment, we can also see that there is little basis for any Shari’ah prohibition of bestiality/zoophilia as the Qur’an and the Sahih Hadiths (Bukhari and Muslim) do not prohibit this unnatural practice…
Pakistan has banned content on more than a dozen websites because of “offensive” and “blasphemous” material, while they themselves rank No. 1 for certain sex-related search terms, including “child sex,” “rape sex,” “animal sex,” “camel sex,” “donkey sex,” “dog sex,” and “horse sex”.
Pedophilia is considered a taboo and is illegal in most societies, cultures and religions; except in the Islamic world…
Oh, very high….yes, very high indeed. Tom Cruise is known for giving my father handjobs to appease the Flying Spaghetti Monster and other formidable gods that have high ranking in this Universe…
But no, really, my dad’s not a Muslim literalist, my mom is to some extent, but they’re very spiritual, with my dad imparting a lot of spiritual wisdom to others and giving real-life advice to his fellow Hyderabadi Indian friends.
On my most genealogy reports, I come back at about 10% Greek/Turkish+Baltic, mainly because my paternal ancestors had migrated from there, giving me the Y-chromosome G.
Anywho, Islam can be sensible or nonsensible, depending on the person, like a drug o sorts, I guess. My parents are Sunnis, but since Sufism is so big in Pakistan, they practice that form of spirituality anyways.
My dad is 70-something odd years old meaning he’s very well-respected and well-liked by others for his charisma, age, etc. He’s a bit of a sociopath as well, so it’s best not to mess with him. My mom is a 50-something very well-respected scientist.
Mug of Pee doesn’t stand a chance of not falling for my parents’ trap when it comes to talking him into doing something.
Only trade-off they have is because of their age, they’re very old-school and also, late child-birth leads to a lot of circumstances for the child like autism, which if I were to have any, would be because of my parents’ age during my conception, not because of genetics.
do your parents know about your strong attraction to black men/rappers?
Nobody’s attracted to black men except you. He just latches on to them because they’re the some of the only non-white role models America has & he’s too autistic to realize how cringy it is when south asians act black
Yeah, that’s a pretty good explanation for my affinity to rap music, Pumpkin. Plus, I don’t really act black but when I do, it doesn’t look cringy on me at all because people view me more like a black teenager than a S Asian anyways.
What I mean to say is that whites perceive me as being a threat, a menace to society, etc. that only resonates with young black people so they automatically lump me in with that group of trouble-making youth, thus furthering my love of rap music because it’s relatable to my life.
This part sounds cringy but I actually had ambitions to be a rapper when I was between the ages of 11-15 and most people thought it was cute and entertaining. No one really cared that I was S Asian and I would rap about history for my history classes, so you know I was one of those nerdy rappers anyways, yet no one really found it weird or cringy but that’s Southern California for ya.
And yes, Ian, my parents know I like rap music. My dad isi apathetic towards it but my mom is kind of against it so I dunno.
Pumpkin would surely respect the shit out of them….that’s a fact. They’re very, very educated and I bet PP would be greatly intimidated by their level of education, status, and wisdom my parents have.
And PP has such a masculine writing-style, anyone who believes him to be a woman is absolutely stupid.
‘Masculine writing style’ Stop being sarcastic
interesting. correct me if i’m wrong, but whereas islam is intolerant of homosexuality it is tolerant of bruce jenner and anal intercourse between husband and wife, whereas orthodox judaism and christianity are intolerant of all three but more tolerant of homosexuality than islam.
also i believe orthodox christianity is intolerant of first cousin marriage whereas islam and orthodox judaism tolerate it.
“Consider an IQ score of 140 or higher, denoting the level of intelligence that can permit people to excel in fields like theoretical physics and pure mathematics. If the mean Jewish IQ is 110 and the standard deviation is 15, then the proportion of Jews with IQ’s of 140 or higher is somewhere around six times the proportion of everyone else.
The imbalance continues to increase for still higher IQ’s. New York City’s public-school system used to administer a pencil-and-paper IQ test to its entire school population. In 1954, a psychologist used those test results to identify all 28 children in the New York public-school system with measured IQ’s of 170 or higher. Of those 28, 24 were Jews.”

Where’s the source? Is the author just being crazy??
Emil kirkegaard seems to think that the 110 figure is highly plausible.

This CNN video will captivate the interest and imagination of the philosopher. Israeli government supported “autism breeding program” and “autism subsidies”:
These people are hardcore on the autism spectrum, you can see it on their faces and lives. They have Arab enemies on the gates of their nation yet they study becuase “the book says that we should study and work hard”. What will these be used for?? Is their autism usefull becuase of high iq? Do the higher iqd ones have the most children?? They seem to be compensating for their Arab, mizrahi and Sephardic r-selected populations.
That’s interesting you call it an autist breeding programme. A lot of scholar programmes in world history involve learning religious nonsense. But the guy in the video is right in that the religious stuff does give a raison detre for israel even existing. Secular jews in theory shouldn’t care whether israel exists or not.
I’m surprised jeff zucker said anything even mildly inquisitive about the motherland. But I am aware of an anger among middle class jews in israel that these orthodox jews are basically wards of the state.
i don’t mind so-called “religious jews”. they have very little money or power and don’t want them. they just want to be left alone. the secular jews have substituted money and power and racial supremacism for religion. but religious jews would be even more tolerable if they actually made some effort to make converts like they did in the first century: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
at that time in the roman world judaism was actually a proselytizing religion as religion was much more volkisch then. judaism was more universal than other religions in the first century except for buddhism, zoroastrianism, and various others which don’t exist anymore.
1. as i;ve said 1 trillion times the most obvious explanation for jewish genius (if it’s genetic) is that the best students (of jew stuff = “the torah”) haveth childers everywhere, because the jews rewarded this useless-in-itself ability with the rich jews daughters.
2. and the standard deviation is 15…if ti were genetic then ashkenzi jews should have a smaller SD than the population at large as it has less genetic variation.
https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/ashkenazi-jews-are-not-inbred
You mean larger?
Also that would mean Arabs and Africans would be on the radical ends of the spectrum.
so imagine if…
the ideal of every roman catholic mother was that her son would master the summa?
the summa and the fathers of the church and all the goys the midrash dismiss as “philosophers”?
you’d have some yuge motherfucking geniuses.
Jews are the most r-selected people on the planet. They lack social conservatism, have many kids and hope one becomes a genius, etc. Blacks are even more K-selected than Jews. It’s sad but unfortunate truth.
Loaded reminds me of a very annoying salesperson or street merchant. If nothing his parents are religious they’re both dumb by definition. Dont care what degrees they have. They’re nullified.
I love the reductionist paradigm—it’s so ridiculous, especially when you get things like this.
The Philosopher
Please link me the christmas song from a black man in the 70s or something (the video you linked is gone from the internet). please please
And for that matter, just link a bunch of songs.
I found the Scriabin song I mentioned a while ago
wikipedia (on what i assume is a non-ideological subject):
A 2008 analysis, using Rybka 3, showed that Capablanca had the smallest average error factor (i.e. the most accurate play); but after adjusting for factors such as the complexity of positions, the best player came out as Fischer, followed by Capablanca…
the problem with the qualification is the capablanca DELIBERATELY simplified…that’s what he’s know for.
so given that:
1. capi had no computer assistance in training…
2. capi had much less “opening theory”…
3. never actually made an effort to get better…
at least in terms of pure ability, pure “chess IQ”, capi is the greatest player ever…and it isn’t even close.
this is why i say he might actually beat alpha-zero. because he was a freak.
and petrosian might beat alpha-zero because of his uniquely anti-computer style of play.
Kasparov beat the computer in the first game. Then the programmers re evaluated the strategy it was using and modelled a new response logic. So the computer then ‘beat’ him in the subsequent 2 games. We still dont have proof that a computer is the best without any human input.
that’s old news. the engine used in the above assessment of human players, rybka, would’ve beaten deep blue, but deep blue was dismantled after the last kasparov match. alpha-zero is the newest and best ever.
the machine will always beat the human at speed chess and calculation, but both capi and petrosian displayed uniquely deep positional understanding, so with the help of a computer they’d have a good chance i expect. that is, they’d use an inferior program help them avoid tactical, calculation errors but could use their superior human positional judgement, if alpha zero’s isn’s better.
assuming you aren’t peepee your attempt at imitating a gentile is sad.
like unz and “therightstuff.biz” your purpose is to corral.
i learned from a jew (andy grove) that paranoia is the best strategy even if it’s usually wrong.
so paranoia when it comes to jews is a NO BRAINER!
I listen to rap music very loudly when I’m outside. If it’s the violent, anti-social type of rap, people accept me listening to it but if it’s the other pro-social type of rap about finding a woman or whatever, people are against it. People honestly view me as one of those troubled, anti-social youths that can be violent, hateful, angry, etc. Part of it is due to my appearance, the picture I posted on here awhile back isn’t reflective of how I look now.
Back then, age 20 and below, I had a pretty-boy look or something close to it, even if some deny my attractiveness, other than my asymmetry, I was a good-looking guy. Now, I am a very masculine, good-looking guy. My face is robust and round and I have very dark features, tilted-eyebrows, stronger jaw than the previous pic, and darker, redder skin indicative of higher T levels, though I dunno what RR’s view on that would be.
Anyways, yes, I’m lumped in with juvenile delinquents but not really the European types or the refugee types because yes, they’re cringy as fuck, but the American black types whom I cam relate to and a lot of whom consider me to be very similar to them, even the older ones.
No offence but your parents must be so ashamed. To be such high status South Asians, their friends must ask “so is your son a doctor or a lawyer?”
What can they say?
“No he’s an unemployable thug who listens to rap and spent time in a mental hospital. And on top of that he’s short & lost the only thing short guys have going for them, his pretty boy looks.”
It must be so painful when they see the children of their short south asian friends growing like weeds on American soil & moving into the suburbs with six figure jobs. They must ask “where did we go wrong?”
That’s very true, in comparison to a lot of other S Asian kids, I have under-performed drastically and it shows. However, I over-performed as a young kid, always winning awards, always being lauded by teachers, always coming in first in not only academics but community-oriented things as well.
I’ll tell you a funny story….there’s this Pakistani kid I know who is striving to be a doctor and we have a mutual friend. I met him through this mutual friend (he was actually both our best friends) and he was so judgmental of me and thought I was such a loser for having no ambition. However, I later found out, maybe a month or so ago, three years after our initial encounter, that his parents thought he was going down the wrong path and wanted me to be his friend so that he could gain more life experience and go on the right path himself as I was doing when I was much younger.
So this story goes to show you how things can change for people. I can be a loser today but I’m young and will find myself and become something later in the future, as I’m only 23, turning 24.
I have plenty of time to build a name for myself. For now, I know I have a lot of mental health issues, so I’m focusing on fixing that first. My parents know I’m a tremendously bright kid and support me because I’m exceptionally knowledgeable and am slowly going back to being the person I once was.
Not to mention my sister is a computer analyst almost making 6-figures at the age of 22, graduating from a very prestigious university herself. She’s also taller than me but unfortunately, I had put myself on a vegetarian/pescatarian diet since the age of 10 and thus didn’t grow properly.
However, I am considering taking HGH in the future if my doctor lets me and growing another few inches. Other parts of my body have been growing at this late stage of adolescence, so maybe there’s room for me to grow….I dunno, but I’ll try it.
Anyways, never compare yourself to others until everything’s all said and done. Then you can have a chance to really look over and find the answer fo who did what in life.
some day i’d like to read averroes and some of the other muslim philosophers of the middle ages. i found Guide for the Perplexed impressive. it was actually written in arabic.
but islam seems like obviously an arabian version of scientology or ersatz judaism, which itself may be ersatz zoroastrianism, whereas christianity is a syncretic religion, combining Cynicism and judaism.
My dad and I have a lot of conversations on the topic of juvenile delinquency since he worked for the Navy and it was full of juvenile delinquents who later straighten their life out. He’s very, very red-pilled about race, becoming an adult in the late 60s and 70s, meaning he saw the Charles Manson-era of race politics.
He understands why I like rap music because yes, they’re strong individuals who rise to the top from nowhere and make it. Ian, Pill, and a lot of HBDers are stupid for not seeing the value that blacks have culturally in America because they don’t really immerse themselves in modern American culture for whatever reason, maybe because of geography or other socioeconomic reasons that let them keep that part of race politics in the back of their head.
Unlike a black youth, though, I can’t get away with anything, I’m not seen as a sex symbol, etc. But the negatives of being a black youth I definitely live with and struggle with because like I keep saying, that’s the type of person most people would characterize me as.
The only people who see it is as cringy are black women, some white women, some Latina women, and then some black men/youths. Like 40-60, honestly, with 40 leaning on it being cringy.
I was thinking about autism. And how its infected the academy. And my opinion that it was enabled to do so on purpose. I was thinking about how autistic people even seem stupid when you talk to them. They have very narrow interests usually in something imperative and asexual. Any normal person would immediately tell something was wrong with the person in a much different way than speaking to a nerd or someone really passionate about math or something. How do these people get taken seriously?
When I listen to saul kripke talking how do students not notice that? Aesthetics dont lie.
The US’s attitude towards science changed a lot during the space race. We started actively recruiting high schoolers for specific disciplines with AP classes, scholarships, etc. James Watson types that tried out different disciplines became a lot less common, probably because doing so was no longer encouraged. It allowed the academy to become a breeding ground for people with narrow interests.
Then the rest of the developed world aped what we were doing when we started having success.
Ironically, this probably accounts for the lack of innovation we’ve seen since the mid 60s. Math Bowl prodigies are some of the least creative people on the planet.
and if “autism” were a spectrum over the whole population you’d find what i’ve found.
normal people are more autistic than some and can’t distinguish the behavior of those some from those to their far right on the bell curve of autism…as i’ve said so many times the fictional character House, MD is an example, whether his writers or hugh laurie intended it or not…that is, he’s an example of how being at the far left of the autism bell curve can ruin your life.
I notice aspires tend to put landscapes as their profile pic. Weird.
In ‘high school’s there was this guy with what we now call aspergers and he had this really funny voice and accent to make fun of. I’m not sure if it was being from the south or his autism that gave him the voice. Anyway years later he sounded less cartoonish. I was told once by a black driving school instructor that I had a voice good enough for radio announcing. But that’s the only time I’ve got a compliment about my voice. Family members on the phone e mistake me for my dad.
Why won’t you tell us your racial background?
Been reading through the Sailer-Levitt abortion debate: https://isteve.blogspot.com/2014/04/does-abortion-prevent-crime-steven-d_26.html
My guess is that abortion lowers crime rates—but only among whites. Responsible blacks/hispanics probably get the vast majority of their races’ abortions. Since their kids have a lower crime risk than the less-responsible’s kids, having fewer of them in successive generations should increase their races’ per-capita rates, all else equal.
The fact that minority crime rates have gone down is probably a testament to better policing. Although he claims to have accounted for this, Levitt couldn’t have with any degree of accuracy.
And the fact that crime has gone down in the U.S. as a whole is because there are fewer minorities than there otherwise would’ve been.

HAHAHA dude’s awesome. Tried out his chicken parm recipe the other day:
Cool guy, mediocre rapper. I looked him up on Wiki a few days before CW posted this and I found out he was Albanian Muslim on his dad’s side and Jewish on his mother’s. Interesting interfaith combination if you ask me.
Vice, the media conglomerate or whatever you would call it, is interesting but has died off significantly since the revival of conservative attitudes amongst young people. Gen Z is very race-conscious, very conservative,. Too bad global warming’s going to wipe all these young fuckers off the map.
where’s my joke about south asians?
an irishman, an albanian who claims to be italian, a jew, and a south asian walk into a bar…
irishman: i’ll have two bottles of whiskey with an “e”.
italian wannabe albanian: i’ll have whatever arnold had when he was here.
jew: i’ll have the blood of a christian baby.
south asian: i’ll have an empty glass. where’s the bathroom?
then you have islam vs alcohol.
i believe hashish is haram yet the assassins, hashishins, were muslims, and muslims smoke, drink coffee, chew khat.
the mormons go the furthest. orthodox mormons can’t even drink tea.
is the idea behind this that the unaltered state of mind is best, what God intended, what?
my POV is drugs are great until they’re not. there’s nothing inherently wrong with wanting to alter one’s state of mind on a regular basis, the basal state of mind may be inferior…but drugs come with “side effects” including addiction…
for example, if you’re fighting on the fronlines you’d be a fool not to smoke or take amphetamines.
…on the front lines you’d…
so charles dance is 6’3″.
Jennifer Connelly’s husband paul bettany is 6’3″.
but even as recently as 50 years ago a man who was 6’3″ would be “abnormal” and therefore “icky” and give a girl “cooties”.
people have gotten taller.
i admit my 6’1.25″ is not the ideal for women today…or at least not the sort i’d like to bone…
in sardinia i’d get all the pussy.
so the hindu perspective might be that ancient greece and ancient india were at about the same level…
but then europe was conquered by dune coon religion.
and so india has been the redoubt of aryan religion for 1500 years.
the only problem with this theory are:
1. europeans were never totally sand-nigger-ized.
2. indian thought past patinjali stops…as far as my european self knows.
3. the possibility that christianity might take up, include sand-nigger religion in a good way is deemed…
“are you kidding me?”
THERE IS NO GOOD WAY!
4. because aryan india is materially, superficially poor, mal-odorous, etc…
it is dismissed by recently, industrial revolution rich, freckled europeans.
sort of you’re right. absolutely.
BUT…
one should expect that…in time…india will take up the challenge of technology…not just information technology…
and it will take up the challenge of andre the giant.
just kidding…
THERE IS NO UNIVERSALIST WAY OF TALKING ABOUT WHY EUROPE MASTURBATED FIRST THAT ISN’T FAKE AND GAY.
BUT LET ME TRY:
EUROPEANS MASTURBATED FIRST BECAUSE…
1. MANY WARING STATES AND THE TECHNOLOGY OF KILLING PEOPLE IS STILL TECHONOLOGY.
2. WESTERN EUROPE HAS A FREAKISH CLIMATE. NO SUN BUT NEVER THAT COLD.
3. I AM SEXINESS ITSELF.
now here’s a perversion.
my mom was so scarred by her experience as “taller than the boys” for about 3 years, she claimed she was looking to hook up with a man who wasn’t paul bettany.
so that’s why from the waste up i’m 6’9″, but from the waste down i’m 5’10”.
sexy!
Your mother sounds more and more like a whore the more you describe her….;)
and then there’s artie lange.
i heard him interviewed by terry gross iirc and he said that…
what he really wanted to do, his idea of the ideal life, was heroin on a beach.
idolaters of this world, aka protestants, think: wtf is he talking about druggie!?
and now artie has destroyed his nose with coke like stu unger.
was he wrong entirely?
partly?
what part?
so why is the roman and byzantine church DIFFERENT?
why is christianity not as simple as dune coon mind control?
THIS IS A FASCINATING QUESTION!
i have the answer…
but diogenes also said:
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
from the outside christianity seems ridiculous.
because…
it is.
but scientology is ridiculous in a different sense.
christianity is the trump of religions.
it’s authentically fake.
it’s TOO weird for anyone to have made up.
….
that’s #1 on my list of why ORTHODOX christianity is THE TRUTH.
will be italians.
just kidding.
albanians will never be italians.
For the first time in 15 years these people are finally realising the establishment media is a weapon for the (((elite))), not a public utility or a for profit business (puppys dumb view).
Actually I’ve always claimed the media is more motivated by genetic interests than financial ones.
You’re too dumb to understand my arguments let alone debate them.
Why do you bother reading blogs that are too advanced for you?
You specifically laughed at my claim that Bezos and Slim didn’t become owners to make money. You said that. Check the comments. I called them basically honourary chairmen.
I laughed at the idea that they would spend so much money to buy platforms that they only had “honorary” control over.
Bezos and WaPo is a good example of financials interests out-competing genetic ones.
Using WaPo to shift the mainstream left away from fiscal issues was a brilliant financial move.
So now will you admit you were wrong and apologise?
I’m sorry for always being right
Secular activists are so dumb. Holy fucking shit.
“Racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc. are all prime examples of double standards. What is allowed for a white cis man cannot be allowed for a black trans woman. Would you like to be stopped and frisked? No, then how can you possibly support a stop-and-frisk policy that targets people of color? Answer: double standards and a dislike for darker skinned people: “I am white, this policy doesn’t target and hurt me, so I shall approve of it.”

Before he left, jimmy made a good point about how the smartest atheists tend to disagree with Organized Atheism. Wish he’d come back.
i’d pay good money to see jimmy and swank go at it
Puppy why do you live alone in the woods?
No. Too afraid I’d run into you.
So you admit living in the woods
Sailer has been censoring me a lot lately. Yesterday I left a comment equating Bush getting outsmarted by his neocon cabinet with Trump not getting anything done, and it’s still in moderation.
He’s being cautious about exposing his readers to accurate criticism of Trump before the election. For the sake of optics, he wants them to believe that shitlibs and hysterical Jews are his primary detractors, which is understandable.
Also, I think his ratio of riffing MSM morons to serious journalism has gotten too high. His work on Arab cousin marriage and the Housing Bubble was brilliant.
Here’s some suggestions:
1) Immigrants and real-estate prices: There’s been a surge of African migrants in the upper midwest. How’ve they affected local housing markets? Have school test scores gone down in those areas, too?
2) Immigrants and carbon footprints: How do Latinos live in the U.S. versus in their countries of origin? He could also bolster his littering claims with actual evidence.
3) Compile a list of statistics documenting how journalism since the Great Awokening. Zach Goldberg already has a shit ton of info; all steve needs to do is collate it and present it.
My sister scored a 2230 on her SATs the year before they moved it to the 1600-point scale. She graduated from a prestigious uni in computer analytics. Very, very smart, a better executive functioning than me for sure. However, I was always lauded with compliments and attention towards my intelligence and vast knowledge of various topics, especially by highly educated people.
I have another sibling, an older half-brother who is half-white, half-Indian from my dad’s first marriage to a Texan. I’m sure I’ve mentioned him in this blog before. He’s a manager of a restaurant now but in his younger days (he’s about 40), he was a very talented musician. However, he too got caught up in a lifestyle of drugs and partying like I did. Now, he’s nothing more than a rank-climbing employee at a restaurant chain in Texas.
Funny how things go like that. Despite my failures, I will always be remembered by friends and family as someone who had a lot of sentimental influence over their lives. That itself can be enough to redeem someone’s character and life at the end of the day.
How can your half-brother be half Indian when his mother is white & you share a Pakistani dad?
Why would you assume something like my dad being Pakistani? My mom is Pakistani and she got her first PhD in Pakistan and then got her second PhD here in the U.S. Then she got her MBA from a prestigious program earlier in the decade.
My dad came here from India (he briefly LIVED in Pakistan but is not Pakistani) when he was my age, early 20s during the year of 1968. He moved to New York and then moved to Texas in the early 70s. He worked his way up from being a waiter to becoming a respected medical professional, though he doesn’t really expand on his role at the hospital, all I know is that his position was very coveted and well-respected.
Despite my dad being an Indian Muslim, I have a passionate disgust with Indian culture, Indian people, and Indian food. I’ve always hated everything Indian and never gave Indian food a shot.
Most people mistake me for being Indian, though, and say I look like an archetypal/stereotypical Indian dude. to the point where their comments come across as cringy and racist to me. People from India, however, realize I’m Pakistani as soon as I tell them. Pakistanis do the same thing too but not until I mention it to them.
Anyways, I prefer to be recognized as Pakistani than Indian but I can’t control peoples’ perceptions of me so I don’t really make an effort in changing who I am. In an optimal world, I would be recognized for who I am, an American! But there’re people like Pill who will never admit I’m American and give me the ability to participate in the culture I cherish so much, Western culture.
born and raised in south detroit….
it goes on and on and on….

the truth can’t be buried forever.
eventually it breaks through all attempts to bury it.
Despite my parents being well-educated, they’ll never be as intelligent as me. My dad is very “wise,” knows a lot (not as much as me in terms of general knowledge), and is a very horizontal thinker when it comes to day-to-day life which has made him successful but he isn’t intelligent in the least. My mother has an excellent work-ethic, is very focused and determined when doing something, and is very good at academia-related stuff but is not very smart in anything else yet feigns to have a higher intelligence.
I can most assuredly say that my sister and I are both smarter than each of my parents.
