Racism is like the worst mind-virus ever. It's so hard to eradicate. All of our human vulnerabilities play into it -- people look different, so that means there are categories of people. Plus in the U.S. we all grow up with a level of historical background radiation that makes racism seem like the reasonable default. It takes SO MUCH EDUCATION to counteract. It's just the loving common cold of memes.

Oh I know, I don't think of "meme" as anything other than a good word for a persistent, hard to eradicate idea. I think the concept has value as a metaphor, but I don't think of memes in the way Dawkins does. There are few people I loathe more than Dick Dorkins.

The soft right wing in the U.S. has proven to be resilient because it tolerates all sorts of internal contradictions rather well. Far-right movements arise every now and again (I'm thinking particularly of the John Birch society) and they certainly have an impact, but they tend to break down because they're too paranoid. When your ideology is based on conspiracies and purity instead of on a set of discrete social goals, eventually your group will splinter and devour itself. Nobody can ever be white enough or nationalist enough. The Catholics are never going to fit into ethnonationalism. The GOP has the right idea -- screw ideological purity and cynically embrace whatever useful minorities will help you advance your agenda. Forgive hypocrites immediately as long as they return to the fold.

Make way for a BIG POST toot toot  Art Renewal Center (ARC) is a non-profit organization founded/run by a billionaire guy named Fred Ross. They are an advocacy organization for a particular type of extremely conservative, realistic painting (known as "academic" art). They also offer "certification" for art schools that teach artists how to paint in their approved style. They also have annual awards for works created in their approved style, and certify certain artists as ARC Living Masters™.  Fred Ross, being a Very Wealthy Man, wanted to collect some fine art. He was unhappy with the state of modern art ca. 2000 (spoiler alert, most contemporary art is poo poo), and discovered the work of a mid-tier French painter named William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).  Le Printemps by Bouguereau Bouguerau was moderately popular in his day, but doesn't really figure into anyone's concept of "art history" because his work was kitschy and without any serious point of view or original development. He was, without a doubt, a technical master. The guy could paint the human figure! Nobody disputes that. But in the general outline of art history, Bouguereau is just not that "important," considering the giants of art who were his contemporaries (i.e., the motherfucking Impressionists  ).The ARC really, REALLY wants people to know that Bouguereau was like the greatest painter ever to live. To ARC, the fact that Bouguerau was forgotten in favor of FRAUDS like PICASSO is a shameful conspiracy by people who want to destroy art itself. Now, if you browse the ARC web site, there are some great artists among their heroes! John Singer Sargent! Anders Zorn! Michelangelo! Alphonse Mucha! Goya! It's not that they have no taste at all. The problems are a little more subtle. For one thing, they're obsessed with academic technique (which they call, "realism") to the exclusion of emotional or intellectual expression. The art schools they bless (called "ARC-Approved™ Ateliers") teach a particular curriculum based on what's known as "sight-size." This is a system where you set up a canvas at a particular distance from your subject so that the picture you're making and the subject are the same size at the distance you're drawing. You train yourself to copy EXACTLY, from a master drawing (usually from a 19th century series by a guy named Charles Bargue), from plaster casts, and eventually from the live model. One of the ARC-Approved Ateliers was at a place called Founders College (since closed), which was a private college for Objectivists, where men were men, women were women, and you're gonna paint that apple CORRECTLY. This system produces people who are often able to achieve very accurate representations of what they see. The only problems with it are:
"OK OK, get to the  part." If you're following our story so far, you might be thinking, Neon Noodle, this obsession with romanticised European figurative art seems kind of… ? And you would be CORRECT. One of the most insidious things about ARC is that they have pretty much re-invented the aesthetic philosophy of the Third Reich! Hooray! They're also totally tone-deaf about it. They don't see the similarities, and they can't imagine why their conception of art might be…problematic?When ARC was founded in 2000, this wasn't really on anyone's minds (except, you know, us  but we're always whining so who cares). But the anti-modernism philosophy has influenced a LOT of younger artists. And this has taken place alongside the other aspects of neo-reactionary ressentiment, like the hatred of postmodernism, "SJWs," the rise of white nationalism, etc.The ironic thing is that, folks like ARC don't view their beliefs as political in any way. They don't like it when art is "political." They want art to be about pretty maidens and heroic poses. They don't see that this, in itself, is a political viewpoint about the role of art in society and the acceptable political/social content of art. The modern artists who were included in the Entartete Kunst exhibition didn't just make "ugly" art for no reason, or because they didn't know how to paint "correctly." They had opinions. They were often satirists and commentators on WWI and the state of Weimar society. Artists like Otto Dix:  Trench Warfare by Otto Dix Or Max Beckmann:  The Night by Max Beckmann Here's what the Fuhrer thought was "good" art:  The Rewards of Work by Gisbert Palmie (fun fact, Hitler drew Disney fan art and watched Snow White and Pinocchio in his own private screening room) ARC hates Modern Art. Like, a lot: Fred Ross posted:The modern world is a boiling cauldron of all sorts of great and absurd ideas, feelings, pathos, pathologies, psycho pathologies, humiliation, and dehumanizing ideas … and yet … yet even beauty, too, is still here amongst us, here in this hall and throughout the world, and her manifestations in modern times have been insufficiently expressed. So, find her in your homes, find her in the streets, find her in your communities and in nature, and especially, find her in each other … and save her … save her … protect and cherish her … and exalt her back to her rightful place … a place of supreme prominence, and bring her back into these our greatest institutions and our highest citadels of society and culture. The concept of beauty/art as a woman who must be saved from the ravages of degeneracy is a recurring trope in Reactionary thought. Aside from being paternalistic as h*ck to women, it fits right in with other metaphorical notions of purity and virginity in peril. THIS poo poo IS NOT INCIDENTAL TO REACTIONARY PHILOSOPHY. IT IS NOT JUST A SIDE-DISH. IT IS THE MAIN COURSE. Hitler was an artist. His vision was an aesthetic vision. Reaction (and neoreaction) IS AN AESTHETIC PHILOSOPHY. In my opinion, it's an aesthetic philosophy MORE than it is a political philosophy. I don't think Fred Ross is a Nazi, or even any sort of political reactionary. But I think he's painfully naive if he can't see the connection between his aesthetic philosophy and the other times this philosophy has reared its head. Also, his taste in art sucks.

Darth Walrus posted:Aestheticism has had some powerful defenders - consider the foreword to The Picture of Dorian Grey for one of the most famous arguments in its favour. Essentially, the idea is that art's chief purpose is to beautify, not to instruct - it exists for its own sake, as something that elevates the human spirit, rather than as something with a mechanical purpose. 'Instrumentalist' is a very telling name - for them, art is an instrument in the vast mechanism of society, rather than something separate and spiritual. Wilde was a deathbed convert to Catholicism ( ), as was fellow decadent Aubrey Beardsley. You can take the Irishman out of the extravagant homoerotic sadomasochism of the Church of Rome...etc.

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.

The rationalists aren't too different from the Objectivists/Rand, in the sense that they believe morality can be derived from logic. The people who went through Rand's pseudophilosophical cult (and got out the other side) came out with intense neuroses about why their emotional experience differed from their presumed objective ideal. If anything, Rand was better because at least she valued products of the humanities (music, literature, movies, art) and paid some lip service to the philosophical tradition. These guys don't even do that.

There are sincere people who genuinely believe in HBD, but that the diversity doesn't fall along conventionally broad racial categories. For example, people like Razib Khan who have enough understanding of population genetics to know how many haplogroups there can be in any given geographic region. Of course, the vast majority of HBDers don't have any education in biology, and they couldn't care less that some villagers in Kazakhstan have the QRSTU-3 allele that makes them best able to digest lactose of any population. They want HBD to be about racism. It's not that there isn't human biodiversity, it's just not nearly as interesting or important as "HBD" people believe.

The Vosgian Beast posted:When you're presented with an argument, whether you agree or disagree with it, the proper response is not to begin listing logical fallacies as if finding enough of them or finding the right one will provide a good comeback. Logical fallacies are the structure of a problem with many arguments but they are not the content of the problem. The actual content of a problem with an argument is the reason why the logical fallacy in this case makes the argument break down. I appreciate this Very Good Post. However you need to understand that I will DIE on the hill that is using the term "begs the question" correctly. DO YOU UNDERSTAND FRIEND
