The Current Litmus Tests

Things that get you ostracized from Team Progressive:

1. mentioning an unwanted biocultural truth (race, gender, religion, eugenics, dysgenics, migration, and self-determination).
2. opposing welfare.
3. criticizing the progressive response to global warming.

Things that get you ostracized from Team Third Way:

1. mentioning an unwanted biocultural truth.
2. fighting rent seeking by Wall Street and members of Team Third Way.

Things that get you ostracized from Team Establishment Republican:

1. mentioning an unwanted biocultural truth.
2. fighting rent seeking by Wall Street and members of Team Establishment Republican.
3. planning large tax increases on the wealthy.

In twenty years, the litmus tests will likely change, especially for the Republican establishment.

For nonmulticulturalists, there is, as yet, no major team. A fairly big tent exists. Even John Derbyshire and other slow multiculturalists avoid ostracization, but you cannot be a fast multiculturalist, in other words, a typical multiculturalist without earning shunning from nonmulticulturalists.

Elephants in the Multicultural Room

Multiculturalists and their allies believe nonwhites are genetically equal or superior to whites in all important matters.

Multiculturalists and their allies have believed for several generations they have the world's greatest ideologies: Islam, Maoism, Putinism, globalism, Stalinism, Mugabeism, Keqiangism, Trotskyism, libertarianism, paleo-Marxism, neoconservatism, neoprogressivism, third wayism, and many others.

Multiculturalists and their allies control every major institution on the planet.

Advocates of ethnoracial self-determination, from the Thames estuary to the Tibetan highlands, are fined, fired, jailed or ostracized for thought crimes.

Yet given the above elephants in the room--there's barely breathing space in that room--multiculturalists and their allies act as if "whiteness" deserves primary blame for their own abysmal moral performance, as if some white trailer park in the Ozarks pulls the strings.

Costs of Brexit and Multiculturalism

Paul Krugman estimates Brexit would cost two percent of GDP, all other things remaining equal. But all other things won't remain equal.

In the long run, any Western country that continues to import several hundred thousand to several million nonwhites per year can expect massive GDP declines due to exponentially increasing anti-white mayhem and bigotry.

Nonwhites devote themselves to free riding in Western countries. Increasing nonwhite political power results in economic Marxism coexisting with or dominating capitalism. Put simply, nonwhites pursue rent seeking almost anyway they can get away with, whether by the dole, affirmative action, Wall Streeting, ethnoracial networking or dozens of other methods. As free riding increases, whites increasingly adopt self-destructive ideologies, especially Hitlerism, African values, and Southwest Asian values.

As the West already found out, it doesn't take a plurality of individuals of Southwest Asian descent to cause totalitarianism.

Racial diversity makes most individuals of most races worse than they would otherwise have been.

Genetic engineering might not save matters if, as expected, nonwhites engineer their children eugenically for IQ but dysgenically for even more egoism, familism, and ethnoracial nepotism. Many individuals underestimate the dangers of high IQ, low character individuals. Studies finding high IQ Ivy Leaguers to be more ethical are junk science. The studies use unrepresentative sampling, faulty measures of character, and participants smart enough to self-promote by seeing through the study design. The historical evidence of mass destruction caused by the Ivy League's "best and brightest" far outweighs the junk science. Levels of economic and industrial espionage by nonwhites will continue to escalate.

Brexit still leaves cultural Marxism in charge. But at least Brexit is a tiny first step toward taking control from global totalitarianism.

Random Thoughts:
What's one difference between a libertarian multiculturalist and a man wearing a tinfoil hat? The man with the tinfoil hat in more likely to be moved by evidence.

Women are inclined to seek signs of commitment. But are taught in hedonistic cultures to seek superficial signs of commitment. Thus, empty words and ethically worthless pieces of carbon are given more value than more practical gifts. Buying a woman a stroller would be a major faux pas.

Men from societies with few eugenic forces seek control over female fertility by rape, seduction games, and de facto slavery.

A major part of the multicultural war to demoralize the West is getting white men and women to have no accurate self-respect, making us easier to take advantage of.

Happy Father's Day.

Negative Externalities of Chickens

Bill Gates supports more chickens for poor countries.

Gates' plan raises some questions: what happens to the price of chickens when 30 percent of rural families reach Gates' goal of raising chickens? Will those chickens eat cheaper calories? It takes 4.5 pounds of grain to make one pound of chicken, not counting insects and other calories the chickens scrounge for themselves.

More chickens. More viruses. More chicken thefts. More roosters. More cock fighting. More noise. Less sleep. Roosters make noise throughout the night, not merely in mornings.

There has to be much better investments, including IUDs.

Chicken farming is amiss in the former United States, too.

Craptastic Establishment Beliefs

Often someone will make a comment along these lines: establishment individuals can't or don't really believe the piles of BS they spew--all that globalism, militarism, credentialism, cultural Marxism, and robber baronism. High IQ establishment individuals can't be that willfully, mindbogglingly wrong, can they?

Oh, yes they do believe that crap.

How do I know?

Because when they talk about the views of non-establishment individuals, their arguments make them appear as neophytes on outside views, not even counting the straw person attacks, as if, at best, they merely skimmed a Wikipedia entry on outside views.

If they were secretly fact facers, they would secretly read the arguments and talk the language.

If someone said, "Bob is secretly a chemical engineer," but every time you heard Bob talk about chemical engineering he sounded like a five-year-old talking about chemical engineering, you wouldn't believe Bob was secretly a chemical engineer.

There's also some research.

The other alternative is that establishment individuals are the world's greatest method actors, deliberately making themselves look like unmitigated neophytes on outside views. Not likely.

Yes, it seems weird that establishment humans can act so dignified and articulate, yet spout one fallacy after another. But the human unwillingness to find and face moral facts, when doing so conflicts with perceived self-interest, is astronomical.

Read These Presidential Quotes If You Want to Barf

If you feel as if your head will explode, stop reading. Highlights from Barack Obama's recent speech:

But across our government... we are doing everything in our power to stop these kinds of attacks [false claim]... 

We work to succeed 100 percent of the time [false claim]... 

Our mission is to destroy ISIL [false claim]... 

These are not religious warriors [false claim and self-contradiction] ...

I have been clear about how extremist groups have perverted Islam to justify terrorism [false claim and self-contradiction]...  

For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam [straw person].” That’s the key, they tell us. We cannot beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamists [Straw person]... 

[Obama continues by hammering the radical Islam phrase, a phrase popular with neoconservative multiculturalists, used to distinguish Jihad from the allegedly moderate Muslims, as if the label of an ideology matters more than individuals affected by ideologies. Obama frequently uses slurs but finds the label of an ideology by his fellow multiculturalists more offensive. Obama implies Jihad has nothing to do with Muslims, also implying that Jihad is something infidels do. Bizarre.]

And the reason I am careful about how I describe this threat has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with actually defeating extremism [false claims]...

They want to claim that they are the true leaders of over a billion of Muslims around the world who reject their crazy notions [false claim]... And if we fall into the trap of painting all Muslims as a broad brush, and imply that we are at war with the entire religion, then we are doing the terrorists’ work for them [straw person and false cause].

But we are now seeing how dangerous this kind of mindset and this kind of thinking can be [straw person and false cause]. We are starting to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly we are fighting, where this can lead us [straw person and false cause]... 

The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens [irrelevant].

Are we going to start discriminate them, because of their faith [staw person]? 

It does not reflect our Democratic ideals [false claim]. 

We have gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear, and we came to regret it [irrelevant and self-contradictory]... 

We don’t have religious tests here [false claim]... 

And if we ever abandon those values, we would not only make it a lot easier to radicalize people here and around the world [false cause], but we would have betrayed the very things we are trying to protect [false claim]...And then the terrorists would have won and we cannot let that happen. I will not let that happen [false claim]... patriotic Muslim-Americans serving their country in uniform ready to lay their lives on the line to protect you and to protect me [false claim]...  One team [false claim]. One nation [false claim].

Our diversity and our respect for one another, our drawing on the talents of everybody in this country, our making sure that we are treating everybody fairly, that we are not judging people on the basis of what faith they are or what race they are or what ethnicity they are or what their sexual orientation is [false claims and self-contradictions]. 

Welfare: Still Rotten

Some popularizers of recent studies claim welfare "doesn't make people lazy," except the studies involved small grants to poor people in poor countries. That's not Western style welfare. That's more like a small lottery winning.

Western style welfare does decrease hours worked.

Studies attempting to defend welfare in the West run into the problem of study participants being monitored and badgered, even when the studies do not engage in outright fraud.

The larger the free riding population, the greater the incentives become for others to give up and join the free riding.

In addition to TANF, SNAP, and other ordinary welfare programs, tax entitlements cost over $1.1 trillion per year. The uncounted direct and opportunity costs of monopolies, oligopolies, Wall Street, and other rent seeking entities are even larger.

Adventures in Narrative Evaluation

The establishment narrative following the Orlando murders is out and about:

We will not know all of the facts surrounding the unfathomable tragedy in Orlando for some time - perhaps, many days [false claim because establishments refuse to learn about cultures and behavioral genetics]. 

But one thing is certain: intolerance and hatred inevitably lead to violence and death [self contradiction]. 

That is why our primary response to the horrific massacre at the Pulse nightclub must be to rededicate ourselves to creating a culturally diverse society that is based on tolerance and respect for other religions, sexual orientations, races and life styles [false claim and self contradiction].

In America the one thing we must never tolerate is intolerance itself [false claim and self contradiction]... 

The shooter, Omar Mateen, sent messages indicating that it was his allegiance to ISIS that lead him to murder fifty of his fellow human beings. Whether he was motivated by ideological commitment or his own hatred of gays and lesbians, or both — that motivation can never trump the fundamental sense of human empathy that provides the foundational principle of a civilized society [false cause and false dichotomy]... 

And we dare not allow the forces of intolerance to exploit the Orlando mass shooting and throw gasoline on the fire of intolerance itself [self contradiction]... 

But let’s remember, that the data shows that in the United States itself you were more than 7 times as likely to be killed by a right wing extremist than a Muslim terrorist in the 13.5 years following 9/11 [ad hominem, false statistic, unrepresentative sampling, and failure to compare population sizes]. 

The New York Times reported that a study by UNC Professor Charles Kurzman and Duke Professor David Schanzer, showed that Islam-inspired terror attacks “accounted for 50 fatalities over the past 13 and a half years.” Meanwhile, “right-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks per year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities [ad hominem, false statistics, straw person, and unrepresentative sampling, Muslims in America are 60 times more likely to pursue terror plots than white, conservative, Americans--nonwhites and non-conservatives are far more likely to engage in terror than white conservatives].”

In point of fact, there is no fundamental difference between the murders by Islamic extremists, or white racists, or anti-abortion extremists [ad hominems and false claim]. They are all acts rooted in intolerance and bigotry and we must create a society that refuses to tolerate those acts - or the intolerance and bigotry that lead to them [false cause and self contradiction]. 

For much of the last year, many on nativist right - particularly Donald Trump - have spewed out hate-filled, intolerant rhetoric like a geyser [ad hominems and false analogy]... 

In particular, Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric legitimates the narrative that groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda use to recruit impressionable young people [self contradiction and false claim].

Make no mistake, both the murders and the establishment narratives are despicable stuff.

Establishments seldom let a crisis go to waste and neither should we.

White liberation and self-determination, now as much as ever. We are conscious, respect deserving beings, too.

Nuclear Energy: Pros and Cons

On the con side, the wrong type of political environmentalism now dominates, the type prone to knee-jerk, poorly reasoned actions, closing completed and uncompleted reactors, creating enormous costs. In other words, the same people bringing us militarism, financialism, and cultural Marxism.

Then we have non-working reactors in poor countries for blatant behavioral genetic reasons.

But Per joule of energy produced, coal is hundreds of times more deadly than nuclear energy. Due to radioactive elements in coal, one hundred times as much radiation enters our surroundings from a coal plant than from a nuclear plant.

Chernobyl is not the fault of the West. Western reactor designs were already far safer than Soviet designs, and the newest designs make meltdowns astronomically improbable.

But terrorism or earthquakes could strike a nuclear plant, then we would really be in trouble--but not if we build new nuclear plants in remote areas, away from earthquake zones. If attackers want to target remote nuclear plants, that is less worse than targeting packed public places.

Destroying a nuclear plant is not easy.

Most waste from nuclear plants results because we do not reprocess the waste into plutonium and reuse it. The alleged reason we do not reprocess waste is we do not want certain wonderful peoples stealing plutonium and making bombs. But plutonium is too hot for them to mess with.

If enemy nations want plutonium, they'll make their own. They don't even need uranium deposits or purchases of uranium from others to make nuclear weapons. They can make nuclear weapons from the uranium present in coal ash.

If we reprocess nuclear fuel and keep the Marxians, neoconservatives, and third wayers out of political power, the mean cost to produce nuclear energy is less than almost all other energy sources, not counting the massive pollution costs of coal. Heck, we would be better off using the nuclear energy in coal than the combustion energy in coal.

The mighty political forces of not-in-my-backyard is a political problem for nuclear energy but also for wind and solar too. But research suggests that citizens much more likely to agree with something in their vicinity if it is presented as a moral imperative.

Nuclear waste, even after reprocessing, is very dangerous for a long, long time. Yes, but paradoxically its danger makes us vigilant about containing and storing it properly. Compare that with other industries such as mining and fossil fuels, which spew millions of tons of hazardous waste into the environment.

Opposition often gets ridiculous. Years ago, I saw a proposal to fill the lands around nuclear waste sites with stone warning devices to scare future generations, so they will know that nuclear waste is near, thus, assuming future generations will be too inept to construct radiation counters, retrieve data on nuclear waste sites or even remember where nuclear sites are.

Wind and solar show promise, but on many days the sun and wind vanish. We use coal and natural gas plants as backups. The hottest days of the year are the least windy, the days when electrical energy usage spikes. Wind and solar require enormous amounts of metals and plastics which cause their own environment problems. Storage methods for wind and solar are nowhere near cost effective.

What about wave nuclear fusion and other newcomers? God bless us if they arrive. But we cannot base policy on technologies that, for now, have a too low of an expected value.
