Oh, please do go on about the dumb stuff. I remember seeing one comment on a SSC thread that almost literally said "I don't need to study anything in depth. IQ has a high heritability, therefore HBD must be correct!"

As always, even though according to HBDers the Asians and Ashkenazis are smarter than whites, white people rolled a higher CHA and thus remain the rightful master race.

I guess it was saying that, while the scientific racists are leaping to conclusions, we don't have a clear understanding of how genetics influence behavior, etc. yet?

ikanreed posted:Is white man with Asian woman somehow not against their anti-race-mixing rules? Asian females are the racially perfect mates for superior whites. These females' superior submission skills, combined with their genetic ability to take IQ tests well will combine with the best of our superior white... superiority will create a master race and we can turn ourselves into cyborgs or something. Also white women are too uppity, demanding their mates treat them like human beings and poo poo.

Silver2195 posted:mainstream scientific consensus on human genetics is. The two key facts are: 1. Genetic influences on behavior are so dimly understood that we can't make meaningful predictions with the body of evidence that exists. And CERTAINLY not about populations. 2. The concept of "races" as a set of 5-10 meaningful categories for mankind is not supported by genetics. As for genetics and behavior, there is so little to go on compared to all the other important environmental factors that there's barely even a point to discussing genes as a factor. Contrary to what HBDers say, no bioanthropologists doubt that there are genetic influences on behavior. What anthropology CAN'T do at this point is make specific claims (gene ABC leads to behavior XYZ), nor can anyone make population-level claims about genetic influences on behavior (i.e., the prevalence of gene ABC in population EFG is the cause of their better/worse behavior XYZ). You can extend "behavior" to include intelligence, seeing as we have no non-behavioral measures of intelligence. (That is, you can't determine a person's intelligence without asking them to perform a certain task, i.e., behave a certain way). The human species is so inbred that our total level of genetic diversity is minuscule compared to, say, the genetic diversity of domestic dog breeds. Because of that, you can't lay out all the human populations of Earth and split them into categories big enough to be meaningfully thought of as "races." There are micro-ethnicities everywhere, for sure! Certain combinations of genes show up in particular locales, or make a gradient of allele frequencies across a geographic area (what the article was referring to as "clines"). But the categories we call "black" or "white" or "Asian" tell us only about a few outward physical features or a rough idea of what continent (some of your) ancestors come from. It doesn't reveal anything about your other genes, because the people we categorize as "black" or "white" or "Asian" can have almost any variant of any other gene you'd care to test for. "Black" is a cultural category, not a useful genetic description. In the US, we take certain people, all of whom have completely distinct ethnic backgrounds, all of whom are genetically quite diverse, and all of whom have a different degree of genetic mixture from multiple continents, and throw them all in a bucket called "black". The label refers to what a person looks like, because that's what we can see. If I see a guy who has brown skin and a wide nose and thicker lips, as a white American I'm going to fixate on those genetic aspects of his appearance and categorize him based on that and that alone. He gets called "black." I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE REST OF HIS GENES except for the tautological fact that he has that skin tone or nose shape or mouth shape.

Scotts talking about race again! In the post, he plays "Is it really racist if you genuinely think black people are genetically inferior?" and goes on the usual confusing multipage ramble, include the scott trademarks of the contrived examples, the confusing analogy and the single anecdote that justifies everything. His premise seems to be "I'm not saying we should ignore racism, I'm just saying that we have to give every single racist the benefit of the doubt". Apparently he feels that a civil war is imminent because the left is too intolerant of people who believe racist things. Also included: the south can't be racist because they voted for Ben Carson. I wonder if he's talked with anyone with any actual expertise on racial matters, to politely pull him aside and explain what systemic factors are.

Basically the only mistake is that he things white racists, white tribalists are outliers in a larger liberal culture. This is basically not so. Rather educated white liberal elites are outliers are tribal lower class culture where many black, hispanic, islamist etc. etc. groups harbor as much or more hatred than white racists. And a lot of people went Alt-Right because they noticed that their attempts to be liberal are not reciprocated. loving what ("ADHDsperg" is the poster's actual Reddit username)

The correct response isn't "do nothing" *or* "take away the ability to see criminal records", it's to correct the systemic problems causing these disparities. He thinks hes making an impressive revelation by saying that racist effects can result from things other than outright hatred, and seems to take this fact as an argument for ignoring racism altogether. The fact that he doesn't even address the idea of systemic racism in the post makes me suspect that he might not even know about the idea. The old rationalist trap of trying to derive things from first principles without considering that there might be a whole academic field out there dedicated to examining what you're talking about.

It's been mentioned before but Scott has lots of sympathy and zero empathy, so I doubt he'd be able to conceptualize systemic factors even existing since that requires acknowledgement of a subjective reality other than his own.

A new interview with Nick Land.Nick Land posted:At the time you think, okay, you don’t just cook up a new religion, you don’t just cook Kek. Then the thing happens and all of these trolls are saying ‘Praise Kek’. But it’s not just a joke: you only psychologically defend yourself from something really intense and Lovecraftian about the whole subject by not thinking about it. Something insane has happened with this self-orienting massive Kek cult. It does take you back to ancient times and what these kind of religious insurgencies must have been like and where religions come from. Nick Land posted:
Nick Land posted:I am writing an abstract horror story that is basically about situationism, even though I know nothing about it at the moment. Nick Land posted:My inclination is to be on the Scott Bakker side. I might be missing something, but I can’t recall ever reading a piece by him and thinking that’s wrong. It always seems to me, you’re totally right on this. Often brilliantly in a way that you have not seen, but as soon as I see it, I concur with it.

danger-carpet posted:A new interview with Nick Land. Please note that Bakker is considered a bit extreme even by most of the people who post on these sorts of accelerationist blogs. His website is full of unhinged rants reminiscent of LoB's posts here. He's been drifting further to the right ever since Trump looked like he had a shot at the White House. He compares mainstream academics who disagree with him to nazis while literally arguing that there is no difference between good and bad things. He's not a neoreactionary but he embodies most of its defenders' flaws: reflexive contrarianism, extreme nihilism/misanthropy, armchair critiques of feminism, anti-intellectual rhetoric, a disturbingly instrumentalist interpretation of human interaciton, obsession with biotruths and AI, and a prose style worthy of Moldbug himself. It's no wonder Land's a fan. [/quote] Still pretty into his books, sorry. Also when Mister Mean-Spirited talks about wanting to kill himself, it's because he's strong and above the herd. When anyone else does it
