I deliberately made up the figure because I am never able to get a straight answer as to how many black men were lynched during the horrors of Jim crow when the government allowed large organizations to use intelligence testing. 3500 black men were lynched over 80 years in an entire country? 1400 white children were raped in a single city in the UK and the authorities refused to address the issue because of the threat of racism. Failure to recognize social patterns under the threat of being called racist destroys people’s lives.

It’s impossible to know how many whites are killed by blacks because the government keeps changing the criteria of who is white and who is not. George Zimmerman would have been considered white for the purposes of framing him as a racist cold blooded killer but if he has been killed by a black he would have been considered latino. George Zimmerman is Hispanic not white. If Obama had been around during Malcolm x then I am pretty sure the people who killed him would have been labelled white supremacists. So you got me it only takes 8 years for blacks to kill as many whites as happened during Jim crow if we are going to believe government statistics. Sir the point is that blacks are a greater threat to whites than vice versa and that is born out of the reality that blacks want to live near whites but the opposite is not true. Do you trust government statistics on unemployment?

That’s a real academic answer from an intelligent and inoffensive black. If you can’t pass the test then pick up a book and throw it at the white man. It certainly is a diverse perspective, I certainly never would have come up with that. The universities used to be a place for study, vocation and reflection but now they are a war zone. But you won’t address my concerns because it’s not a problem to you. Would you be willing to come out and denounce such antics? No, because I am the problem. The definition of racism is purposely kept vague so it’s never really possible to prove that you are not racist. Personal safety is very important. I am working on an app that allows white people to document their dealings with blacks. Plenty of times I have bad experiences with blacks and was accused of racism. Well not anymore. The tentative name of the app is I am not racist I just don’t like you. It will allow the user to record and document bad dealings with different people so no one can be accused of racism. Everyone should be able to document their dealings and be safe because personal safety is very important. It would help stamp out racism because people could have document what actually happened instead of relying on heresay.

You ask how whites will treat intelligent and inoffensive black? You mean like the intelligent and inoffenisve blacks who threaten whites on college campuses or support Jesse Jackson for false rape accusations. Or the local daycare center owner who said the most vile and disgusting things against white men when she was going to lose government funding. Or inoffensive blacks who denounce iq testing and standardized tests as being racist but then to get low iq blacks ssi, using iq as a criteria for disability payments?

Is the doctrine of disparate impact not discriminatory against whites? Haven’t violent student groups demanded to have the curriculum changed to accomodate nonpaying students? How is it possible to know the iq of poor whites since is testing is forbidden?

More white people are killed in one year by black crime than were ever lynched. The civil rights leaders are more interested in banning iq tests than fighting racism. If an employer was only interested in your race then he would test your blood not your iq. Remember if you can’t pass the test then pick up a book and throw it at your political opponents in order to prove that everybody is equal.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps… then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Guess who.

Is it rational to restrict all male immigration? How about all male immigrants under 30? Many likely to be criminals. Where to draw the line?

Hey Jay, good content on measles (if you deem the CDC an unimpeachable and accurate data source.) Tynan DeBold and Dov Friedman’s data on pertussis is not consistent with rather authoritative reviews:

Results. —We estimated that 13557 pertussis hospitalizations (95% confidence interval [CI], 12953 to 14162) and 98 pertussis deaths had occurred during the 4-year study period (an average of more than 3300 hospitalizations and 25 deaths per year). The completeness of reporting hospitalizations to the CDC was 32% and to the CPHA-PAS, 23%, while the completeness of reporting pertussis deaths to the CDC was 33% and to NCHS, 23%. Patients who were hospitalized with pertussis and reported to CDC were at a higher risk for developing pneumonia (31.0% vs 20.0%, relative risk [RR], 1.6; 95% CI, 1.4 to 1.7), seizures (3.7% vs 2.1%; RR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.4 to 2.5) and encephalitis (1.2% vs 0.2%; RR, 5.3; 95% CI, 2.4 to 11.6) compared with patients recorded in the CPHA-PAS system.

Conclusions. —Our study suggests that there is substantial underreporting of pertussis, that severe complications of pertussis (including hospitalizations) are reported preferentially to the CDC, and that the national health impact of pertussis based on these indicators is considerably higher than previously published reports have suggested.(JAMA. 1992;267:386-391)

How about pertussis?

http://mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/References/pertussis-vaccine-ref.pdf

I clicked through some of these sources (I’m quite familiar with some of the journals) and verified Mercola’s interpretation of enough of them that I’m content to let the others stand.

Whether you approve this late comment or not, I just wanted to point out that your blanket position on this subject has legitimate opposition.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/04/12/pertussis-vaccine.aspx

Before you call Mercola a crank/quack, note that your positions are similarly outside the consensus on a fair number of subjects. Glass houses and all that….

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/03/24/dissolving-illusions-measles-vaccine.aspx

I followed back your reference to the above; the numbers are based on CDC reports. I strongly suspect that this is akin to basing ones entire premise about AGW on data supplied by the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit in the UK.

Dr. Debold was curious about the one measles-related child death recorded in 2005 and the fact that the CDC did not acknowledge it when replying to Dr. Nass. Dr. Debold wondered if, perhaps, the 2005 child death was MMR vaccine related.

She searched VAERS reports using the MedAlerts9 database, where she found five deaths associated with measles containing vaccines that occurred in 2005 in the U.S. in males aged one to four years.

One of those 2005 MMR vaccine related death reports in VAERS listed “mild fever” and “non-infectious encephalitis and encephalopathy” as symptoms after a one year old boy received MMR, varicella and flu vaccines and died five days later (VAERS ID# 250504).

The autopsy report listed “sudden unexpected death in childhood” as the cause of death; however, there was no mention of a rash or other measles-related symptoms, which also can occur after MMR vaccination.

Dr. Debold commented, “Six out of seven measles-associated deaths reported after 2003 in the National Vital Statistics reports occurred in adults between the ages of 25 and over 85 years old, who should either have had natural measles immunity or have gotten at least one MMR shot. It would be helpful for CDC to explain the discrepancy between National Vital Statistics data and the statement made to Dr. Nass.”

So, between zero and seven measles-related deaths have occurred in the U.S. since 2003, but how many measles vaccine reaction death reports have been recorded by the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in the past 12 years?

Searching the MedAlerts database, we see that there were 98 deaths following MMR or MMRV vaccinations reported to VAERS that occurred between 2003 and 2015. Plus, there have been 694 reports of MMR or MMRV vaccinations causing disability in that time frame.

It has been estimated that less than 10 percent of vaccine adverse events are ever reported to VAERS.10,11

Considering the fact that there were 98 measles vaccine-related deaths and 694 measles vaccine-related disabilities reported to VAERS in the past 12 years, if only 10 percent of vaccine-related deaths and disabilities are being reported to the government, then the actual number of measles vaccine-related deaths and disabilities that have occurred since 2003 could have been as many as 980 deaths and 6,940 disabilities.

[…] The Donald Trump Phenomenon Part 2: Binary Thinking on Jayman’s Blog. […]

Aaron Gross: absolutely correct – it’s all about overlapping normal curves for different groups! it’s insane that discussing ability (even with all groups combined) as a normal curve that matters in almost all aspects of life is forbidden. Ability matters so much & affects so many things, yet it’s ignored in education & the public discourse. To me, that’s insane.

Why can’t you be friends with someone you disagree with?

Clearly, unless my understanding of what “race-realism” entails is faulty.

Trump is far from a race-realist of any sort (friends with Al Sharpton FFS)

There’s nothing contradictory about a ‘race realist’ being friends with someone Al Sharpton.

Kind of makes me leery of describing myself as a race realist.

There’s nothing contradictory about a ‘race realist’ being friends with someone Al Sharpton.

Trump is far from a race-realist of any sort (friends with Al Sharpton FFS), it’s just the idea of not being able to force a public figure to grovel and apologize that infuriates the hysterical left; that’s also really his only value IMO, I don’t think he’s any kind of savior for us “far-right” types.

I’ve been pointing out the same thing for a long time: In the area where the evidence for genetic influence on group differences is perhaps the strongest—between different socio-economic classes of whites—self-described HBD types are silent. They’re just not very interested in human biological diversity, I guess.

Usually, if a certain blogger I follow, who has some HBD commenters, talks about the culture of poverty etc., I’m the only one to mention genes. The HBD commenters are silent until he brings up race.

(Btw, the evidence for between-class genetic influence seems stronger than for between-race because you can do studies of correlations over time within families, in order to infer causality, which you obviously can’t do for between-race comparisons.)

The anti-trump cult isn’t original, nor is their message, thats why they look like amateurs regurgitating the “teachings” of their geriatric gurus.

While they exhibit most of the trademarks found in the “psychology of totalism”(thought terminating cliches), they remind me of that other political cult, the “Democratic Workers Party”.

-
The Democratic Workers Party was a United States Marxist-Leninist party based in California headed by former Professor Marlene Dixon, lasting from 1974-1986. It has been seen as an example of a political cult with Dixon serving as its charismatic leader.[1] http://www.thefullwiki.org/Democratic_Workers_Party

Not to mention they’re getting paid to be ham-fisted drama queens. How much do you get for disrupting a Trump rally, is it $2,500? Check your local craigs list.

That balding, beer bellied, “professional activist”, Tom DiMassimo(that tried to jump on stage) is a failed actor(imdb), who now uses his community theater skills on twitter, where he’s become the celebrity(activist), he always wanted to be! $Cha-Ching$

Strange though, his mom, Faye Dimassimo, works for the city of Atlanta and oversees a $1/4 Billion dollars for projects, and helps businesses share their love for community by digging deep into those pockets, for social justice of course. Move over MLK…Faye Dimassimo is in da house! Let freedom $Cha-Ching$

His dad, Tom, teaches “government” for, well, the government. So we can assume little tommy learned a lot about government. Thats why he’s an expert on democracy, social engineering, marx, and hitler. Too bad his dad didn’t teach him about Liberty, but that would require a lifetime, government is easier. Just ask Faye.

Man, must be tough being so oppressed by Donald Trump, huh? Especially when you consider how bad it is for black Americans right now, especially under a black president, even worse then under white ones.

I know, because I learning this at my government school now, its teaches me race.

If these social justice whiners really wanted to make a statement to get their message out to the world, as well as have us take them seriously, they would sacrifice themselves in self-immolation, like those guys in Tibet.

Somebody tell Faye, to tell her kid he’s not doing enough to get his SAG-AFTRA card, he should eat some white phosphorous and buy himself a drink. That surely would make Faye and Tom proud…can you imagine the books, movies, and t-shirt sales…OMG…$CHA-CHING$

@Jayman

Could you elaborate more on group genetic interests? I understand you had some informative postings on the matter in the past. Many scientists seem to believe that group genetic interests do exist. It does seem that if they did not than people would not organize around ethnic or tribal lines. Some populations seem to have less group genetic interests than others. Could this explain the paradox? Simply a matter of outbreeding or selective pressures.

A little perspective: There were some 4,000 lynchings in the US (some whites). Taking the Soviet death toll to be c. 30,000,000 over 70 years for the sake of argument, I figure them to have managed over that period a murder rate of 1,000 a day. (Greater if I were to use the period 1917-55.)

Thus, the Soviets blew through the entire death toll in the US in four days.

In the grand scheme of things, the fantastically low toll for America shows that our civilization did very well.

This anti-racism/PC religion now threatens to fatally undermine that civilization and replace it with, not blank-slatism, but virulent, ignorant chaos.

@general obsever

I hope a multi-racial cast of Very Smart People will save the day for the U.S., but that class is already here and formed, and the percentage does not appear high enough to offset the damage. All I have to do is look at what has become of a once decent looking public transportation system.

I don’t like mass immigration and, if it were up to me, we’d deport the illegals and impose a permanent moratorium on all forms of immigration into the United States, with the exception of maybe a very small number of highly skilled professionals.

That being said, I get the feeling that America’s immigration problem is different than Europe’s immigration problem. The legal immigrants that come into America seem to be, on average, fairly law abiding and competent. The illegal immigrants are mostly low-skill, and many of them will, in the future, assuming that they aren’t deported, become an underclass in this country. But, I think that it is a problem that America can manage. The Europeans, however, if they keep up what they’re doing, are screwed.

There was a Steve Sailer post recently with the most salient headline I’ve seen here: The average IQ of your country, is more important than your personal IQ.

A country appears to need 100 or so IQ on the average, to be first world. Doesn’t sound good, but that’s really all that’s necessary for first world development, to judge from how countries have been developing. However, it’s a delicate balance that has already been tipped by immigration, or rather, by the kind of immigrants we’re getting.
Whites in predominantly white countries, already know how things play out among whites, and have a pretty good grasp of expected behavior and capacity along the IQ continuum. They just don’t admit it these days. European schools have been channeling students into certain paths for centuries, according the abilities they manifest on tests and in the schoolroom. A similar sifting took place among artisans and craftsmen. Intelligence is at play in all aspects of life. One Italian teacher, a liberal person, claimed that it worked very well and most people were satisfied.
About half of all whites are 90-100 or so; the cities of Europe and America always had their slum areas, but were not completely corroded simply by the existence of that element. It took smart people who built and designed weapons of mass destruction to lay waste to their cities.

“Would you not like to see the common cold… added to that list?”

Not much hope for that one, unfortunately, as many variants of it are around, how often they change. And how weak the effects are, compared to everything else out there.

While I can sympathize with the anti-vaxxers, there are tons of vaccines that kids have to get (as I’m sure you’re discovering), and there is concern over some components in them, I feel it boils down to a simple “lesser evil” argument- a kid getting pertussis, or any of the other terrible viruses they’re being vaccinated against, greatly outweighs the concerns against vaccination by a mile.

The major problem is not the nebulous and useless minority called social pseudo-scientists but the white silent majority and worst the own conservative “movement” (infiltrated by this vermin).

Hbd, conservatives and any other anti-system still expect that the (zionist-communist) system itself will help them. Ok.

“It is true that many of Trumps supporters hold ideas about race differences, and for this they are called racists. But, I would like to see an honest assessment of the race-based ideas of Clinton’s supporters. I think they are more racist, but in politically correct ways.”

This is a valid point. People (often so-called “progressives”) make all manner of unflattering generalizations about White people, but this activity does not get one characterized as “a racist” by the dominant forces in our society. In order to be so characterized by mainstream sources, one must do, well, precisely the same thing, while speaking about, um, pretty much anyone who isn’t White.

I do not believe you should be required to vaccinate your children (although I do think you should want to). But I was unable to register for a public school Kindergarten (during 1975, in the S.F. Bay Area), until my parents had proven I had been conventionally vaccinated. I think this was a good law, and should be universal across the USA, and indeed, all civilized jurisdictions.

Get it?

Agree to disagree. I’ll make decisions for my body, you can do the same for yours.

Moreover, the person you were responding to seems willing to abandon (perhaps even execute) low-class whites. I am glad he has shown his true colors.

Just to be clear, I’m not white. Moreover, I have little interest in low-class, low-IQ people, irrespective of their race. Civilization does not depend on the stupid and the undisciplined, but on the intelligent, the rational and those capable of practicing self-restraint, and, while intelligence, rationality and self-restraint are traits that are distributed unequally between the races, they are not restricted to any one race, and contributions of the member of one race who has these traits are just as important, just as indispensable, and should be just as welcome, as are the contributions of a member of any other race who has these traits.

Also, all that I was doing was pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of white nationalists. If you ask them to explain why low-IQ blacks are poor, they’ll tell you that it is because they are niggers, and that niggers, being the lowest form of human life, cannot be anything but poor. However, if you ask them to explain why low-IQ whites are poor, they’ll tell you that it is because of Jewish subversion or, alternatively, that it is because of the perfidious white elites who refuse to follow their ‘ethnic genetic interests’, whatever that means.

In the end, though, low-IQ whites have been definitively priced out of the labor market by peasants from India and China (and, increasingly, Africa). I don’t necessarily want these low-IQ whites to be abandoned, much less executed, but the hard truth is that the ultimate outcome of their economic displacement, which as far as I can tell is irreversible, will not be a good one. It’ll likely culminate in more drug abuse, more broken families, more mental illness, more welfarism, etc., etc., and I don’t know that there is anything that can be done to change this.

Thoughts on this?

http://thealternativeright.com/2016/01/08/the-lynching-myth/

I think that the insane amount of PC/SJW nonsense that certain sectors of society (mostly gov’t, media, education, but others too) have pushed the pendulum so far one way that now there is all this built-up energy to swing the pendulum the other way. When it swings the other way, I hope that things like HBD understanding will help to make better policies that would better help all Americans. I’m just afraid that many people are sick of PC culture, but don’t have the knowledge basis to turn the reaction against it in a positive direction.

I don’t want to see any American hurt or have their rights taken away. I also don’t want to see the USA turn into a colder version of Brazil. It seems that getting control of immigration has to be the top priority. If things continue the way they have been going, I think that many of the rights that I care about will find themselves under even greater attack. Ultimately, what the Constitution actually says is ignored by as much as those in power can get away with it. The more mixed up the demographics within the USA become, the less people will really care about ‘rights’ and it just becomes about getting into power to give out ethnic sectarian favors. I think we are already seeing that to a degree.

I don’t like Trump’s views on the National Security State, and I disagree with him on a number of other things, but I think he *may* be the only one who is willing to do what it takes to get control of immigration. Once the wall built, with all the money spent on it, it will be hard for whomever follows Trump as President to justify taking it down. He also says he will protect the 2nd Amendment, so that is good, too. I don’t even own a gun, but I understand why it is important for the people to be able to arm themselves. I think I should get one before this summer, though. It seems things may be getting even crazier.

Keep up the good work, JayMan. I hope you and your family are doing well.

This was the original comment:

Many of Trump’s supporters are indeed bona fide racists.

What does the term racist even mean? Is it simply a cudgel to beat other people around the head

If a person says:

1. Black Africans, on average, have lower IQs than whites and tend to be more violent than whites.

2. African Americans have only, on average 18% white admixture and also have IQs on average one SD lower than whites and tend to be more violent, on average, than whites.

3. East Asians seem to have slightly higher IQs, on average, than whites (about 1/3SD) and are less violent, on average, than whites

is that person racist?

Are they only racist if they use words that blacks use that whites are not allowed to use?

I would like to know.

Lets take that a step further.

We know how to increase the IQ of a population. We know how to decrease the violence that a population exhibits.

It’s called truncation selection applied over a relatively long period of time (large number of generations).

We execute those who exhibit violent tendencies before they can reproduce and sterilize those of low intelligence before they can reproduce.

Each population has a set of characteristics that can be modified, so lets not take cheap shots at those on the left size of the distribution among one population when it is the mean that is more interesting to discuss.

Moreover, the person you were responding to seems willing to abandon (perhaps even execute) low-class whites. I am glad he has shown his true colors.

He appears to be weak on established science – a fantastic irony – exemplified by his amenity to anti-vaxxers – an almost unforgivable sin in a leader.

It seems abundantly clear that the current vaccination schedule is designed simply to put money in the hands of Drug companies.

You are aware, I take it, that the SC ruled that people cannot sue drug companies for the harm their vaccines cause?

(Full disclosure: My children were vaccinated under a different country’s schedule and at later ages than what typically happens here in the US.)

So the part that vaccination doesn’t work as well unless application is near universal doesn’t register with you?

See my R0 comments and link above (note that measles is an outlier). Improved individual immunity and herd immunity are separate but related effects. Please do us both a favor and spare the patronizing comments that assume I am an idiot (especially after I have already brought up the importance of R0 in this thread).

10% chance of a minor, temporary side effect which in any case is a hell of a lot better than the disease itself. Yeah, hard choice.

The authors of the document called it a serious side effect (mild was a separate category as shown in my excerpt). Are you disputing their assessment?

Restricting certain groups (or any immigration) moves us from being a universalist society – where all people (and peoples) are treated equally, to a particularist one, where people are treated differently according to their inherent qualities.

I think, the main problem is that many people (on either side of the racialist divide) simply don’t understand that group differences are a statistical fact, but not much more than that. You still have to judge the individual by individual characteristics.

It’s eg. quite nonsensical to block more than a billion people from entering the US, because there are perhaps 100,000 terrorists among them of which perhaps 500 might try to enter the country. Just as it would be nonsensical to not give a high-IQ job to a qualified black, just because on average blacks don’t have the necessary IQ.

Significantly more so than in the general population? I’d like to see some documentation on that.

Significantly more than the general white population anyway. This is obvious.

Actually, the problem in the discourse isn’t even about biology or genetics. It’s about acknowledging group differences in intelligence and other personality traits, period.

It doesn’t really matter how much of those group differences is genetic (unless it were 100%, which no one’s claiming). What matters is that the differences exist, that they’re a major cause of social inequalities that people care about, and that, so far, the differences are intractable. And that you can’t say that without getting ostracized.

Back in the 1970s, leftist, egalitarian social scientists used to be able to say that blacks underperformed compared to whites because blacks were less intelligent than whites due to racism. (They usually didn’t use the word “intelligence” when talking about the difference, but they used euphemisms like “learning ability.”) Nowadays if you say, “Blacks are less intelligent than whites due to slavery/redlining/racism/whatever”—forget about biology—you’ll be tarred and feathered.

So the problem isn’t being forbidden to talk about biological differences. The problem is being forbidden to talk about group differences at all.

A corollary is that “race realists” should lay off the biology talk in the context of social “problems.” That includes both the “race is biologically real” red herring and the “group differences are genetically influenced” one. Not only because those propositions are logically irrelevant to social questions, but because it’s rhetorically extremely stupid to raise them: It focusses attention on a premise that your audience doesn’t accept, when that premise is irrelevant anyway.

You bet your lynchings, I raise you the Knoxville Horror, the recent 13 year old whose DNA was left on a 90 year old rape victim, and so many more each week that never are “newsworthy.”

Let us accept interracial crime statistics as they are, or agree to go our separate ways in peace. Ironically, anyone expressing the desire to separate is labeled a racist…but only if he’s white.

Your position on vaccines & invocation of the Great Satan is evidence of exactly the kind of collectivist intolerance of contrary belief that drives conflict. For the cultist there is Rightthought and there are (your term) fools. And fools (heretics) cannot be tolerated.

See you on the other side.

No, it’s a good name for people who are being foolish. See above.

Would you characterize my initial post above as being “anti-vaxxer”? What do you think of people who do?

That’s progress.

And that’s one of the main contributors to making today’s politics so ridiculous. A little is good so more must be better. (not a coincidence that the group most responsible for this calls itself progressive)

Reducing taxes from the 90%+ level was good for the economy so more tax cuts must be better.
Stopping slavery/Jim Crow was good so as much anti-racism as possible must be better.
Measles is extremely contagious justifying compulsive vaccination so requiring all vaccines must be better.

I suspect you can supply your own examples. Also see Steve Sailer’s post on diminishing marginal returns.

Regarding

Would you not like to see the common cold, herpes, HIV, and/or the norovirus added to that list? I would.

I would like to see those vaccines made available, but not required.

I have never had the flu vaccine and cannot remember the last time I had the flu. I cannot understand how some people are attempting to mandate a vaccine which seems to be unnecessary for me and in many years is not even effective. Every winter I marvel at the number of people who had the flu vaccine talking about having the flu.

As far as

The rate of adverse reactions from vaccines is so low that this is the height non-conerns.

http://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/initiative/tools/vaccinfosheets/en/

Did you actually look at all of those sheets? The Rubella data is interesting:

Rubella
Mild
Injection site reactions 17-30 per 100
Systemic reactions, Fever 2 per 100
Acute arthralgia 25 per 100
Serious
Acute arthritis 10%

A 10% chance of a serious side effect is “low”? I guess you use that word differently than I do.

One thing that I’ve found with white nationalists is that they only like to talk about HBD as it applies to blacks or Arabs or whatever. It is when you apply HBD to white people themselves, to explain for example that the reason why the white working and lower middle class is faring so poorly in the new, globalized economy is not just due to f-ed up trade policies, but also and largely because of the relatively low (i.e. sub-110) IQs of these whites who have lost out, that they become unmitigated blank-slatists, and then proceed to blame everything on the Jews. You try to tell them that it isn’t the fault of the Jews that some Indian peasant took their job, but that the real fault lies with them, who were making a living doing such a low-skill job that any low-IQ Indian peasant can do just as well and at a much lower cost, and they end the discussion by calling you an ‘anti-white”.

It is my experience talking with white nationalists that makes me think that the overall effects of HBD knowledge on society won’t be so bad, and won’t result in a recrudescence of a virulent and violent racism. People are vain, but HBD makes everyone look bad, though admittedly some more than others, so they, like the white nationalists I mentioned above, will refuse to accept it. And the people that HBD would seem to make the look the best (i.e. high-IQ people with elite educations and jobs), by and large, are a disproportionately Jewish but still fairly multi-racial set, and they have other priorities besides trying to stoke racism. The elimination of PC will likely lead to increased academic freedom and, possibly, smarter policy-making, but that’s pretty much it. A certain casual racism may make a come back too–for example, white people will probably feel more comfortable using the word ‘nigger’ again–but even this isn’t guaranteed in my opinion.

Expect sanity by insane and/or stupid people is the true insanity that rational people commit all the time. Do yourself and do not expect that by miracle those telletubies on the left will change their doctrination, it’s a train without control.

Hbd and white nationalists (or other outsider groups) STILL expect sanity and wisdom by politics.

It’s serious.

While some Trump supporters probably are genuine far-righters, it’s probably better for minorities that the US has a populist/nationalist revolt now, rather than later. The Anglosphere last had a big populist revolt in the period from about 1880-1920 which resulted in a shift away from mass immigration and poor financial regulation and the birth of a basic social welfare system. This outbreak of democratic nationalism allowed the Anglosphere to avoid the totalitarian extremes of fascism and communism later down the track. Many European countries weren’t so lucky, and Germany provides a stark example of how a right liberal country can lurch into extreme totalitarianism when it ignores rising economic inequality and ethnic resentment (I classify the US as right-liberal country with left-liberal progressives controlling certain fields such as education and media discourse on social issues).

LindaRegber proved that the measles vaccine prevents measles.

Fine.

I’d have been more interested if she had instead teased out a comparison of deaths and serious sequelae from measles before, and deaths & serious sequelae from measles and/or the measles vaccine after the vaccine was introduced, but I strongly suspect that such data, as important as they are, have not been kept. Ditto for vaccines like that for HPV. The real metric is deaths and serious sequelae from the disease vs from the vaccine itself. I strongly suspect that an honest accounting of this would segregate current vaccines into two or three subsets, with some of them clearly in the negative column, others in the apparent benefit column. Until such studies are actually done, forgive me for being somewhat cynical. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry and it is not exclusively populated (or regulated) by angels, and physicians as a group are anything but omniscient and infallible.

Since vaccines rarely confer the same level of lifetime immunity to infectious disease as does actually contracting the disease, there are serious questions about things like Chicken Pox (varicella) as we head into an unknown future. Will those who never got the CP but did get the vaccine be at risk of a full-blown adult case in decades to come? We might expect such an event to be life-threatening, given varicella’s history.

Do immunologists know the long-term effects of preventing normal childhood diseases? There are well-informed people who suggest that our immune system is still developing during childhood, and that the historically normal challenges of usually benign childhood infections was part of its normal maturation, a process now stopped before completion. When future pathogens circulate, will this turn out to be a fertile field for pandemic?

These are matters of legitimate discussion, are they not? Or is the “science settled” here like it is about race, and about human contributions to climate change?

That the term settled science even exists informs us how far down the theocratic cult’s rabbit hole we’ve dropped.

It is true that many of Trumps supporters hold ideas about race differences, and for this they are called racists. But, I would like to see an honest assessment of the race-based ideas of Clinton’s supporters. I think they are more racist, but in politically correct ways.

And smallpox too!!!

Dear JayMan,

The framework with which one views these things, indeed, is crucial. The data say that something is so, or probably so. As a Christian (Eastern Orthodox), I do not hate any “people group” as such, because to do that is to hate God. Nor can I challenge His apportioning different talents to different people, whether in between the groups, or individual variances within groups. For an atheist, “anything is possible!” as Dostoyevsky wrote. Since atheism and agnosticism is the framework of most Western intellectuals, Left and Right, I can understand their concern for the consequences of the truth being known. But the truth remains the truth, whether people want to admit it or not.

Sincerely,

Andrew

By the way, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. Your apparent trust in the FDA & pharmaceutical companies is charmingly naive. Actually, skip the charming.

We live in a theocracy. No kidding. Surely you’ve heard of the Dark Enlightenment. Exactly how on Earth does the writing of Nick Land and others deviate from what you’ve published above?

However, there are elements that won’t. Many of Trump’s supporters are indeed bona fide racists. There is no social policy or prescription that necessarily follows from knowledge of inherited group differences. But it is the very nature of people determines how they will react. Some groups want to deride/persecute/destroy other groups they feel are tainted or inferior. Nazism didn’t come out of a vacuum, and it too is a result of the nature of the people who embraced it.

Am I being sensitive, or is this not just a little Two Minutes Hate of your own?

Our theocracy doesn’t have a god, but it has saints (MLK, FDR & Lincoln) and it has its Satan: Hitler and his National Socialists. Cultists inevitably wheel out their Satan whenever it’s time to hold a witch-hunt.

The cult (this theocracy is a cult from every angle) treats thoughtcrime as blasphemy; anyone who holds racist views should be fired from his job and presumably hounded out of polite society, no?

You seem to say that in the name of academic honesty and truth, issues of race should be able to be discussed, right? Where do you then draw the line? It’s okay to discuss them but if anyone draws a probability-based conclusion (e.g., being a little more nervous when there’s a group of black males behind you on a dark city street than if the group was a few Chinese males), is that racist? Should someone be fired for uttering such thoughtcrime?

I suggest to you that the line is where political power directed at harming people begins. Given that we currently live in a polity where political power tilts radically in favor of Non Asian Minorities, at the expense of everyone not in that group, a whole lot of people would scream and riot and burn if the scales were simply balanced more evenly.

That, today, is blasphemy. It is also why the level of conflict is going to rise dramatically, especially when this 50 year diversion into monetary, economic and financial Fairy Tales finally comes to an end.

I don’t wish to destroy anyone. I do, however, wish to stop being harnessed to a cart in which others choose to ride. As things stand, those who want to ride are making it clear that the only way to stop them from harnessing me is to eliminate them. For now, my choice is to simply stop pulling. I can and have radically reduced my taxable activities, but my guess is that the next phase in this farce is cannibal democracy, where income AND property are taxed heavily. When that comes around, do you really think those harnessed to the cart will sit still?

Should they?

I ask, because there seems to be the same kind of “we don’t talk about that” associated with vaccines. For example, the annual influenza vaccine is all but useless most of the time (published in Archives of Internal Medicine, no less), and recent outbreaks of measles have been traced to “immigrants,” while it seems that more cases of pertussis are showing up in vaccinated persons.

Ant-vaxxer has become yet another Name to call someone who utters blasphemy in the Cathedral. Don’t want polio vaccine or MMR? That’s the same as not wanting the flu shot, the HPV vaccine or administering a vaccine against an STD to infants…right?

When this sort of thing is being so thoroughly conflated, I conclude it’s the cult doing so.

Jayman, do you understand the difference between cell-mediated and humoral immunity?

The measles argument is very compelling. This is because it has an exceptionally high R0:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number

which affects the vaccination rate required to achieve herd immunity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity#Vaccination

The argument you make is less compelling for other diseases with lower R0.

My main issues with vaccines are:
- Insufficient attention to formulation issues (e.g. presence of mercury for so long in vaccines).
- Insufficient tracking of and attention to adverse reactions.
- Manufacturer freedom from liability. I am skeptical of anything that requires prohibiting liability to make it financially viable (looking at you nuclear power).
- The number of vaccinations required: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_schedule#United_States
- Shotgun approach with particular vaccines (e.g. the MMR vaccine seems to be one of the more problematic, but is important because measles is so contagious, perhaps a measles specific vaccine would help)
- Strong belief in personal autonomy for health decisions (while realizing there may be rare cases where this must be compromised in the interest of public health).

I wish we could come up with two vaccine schedules: required and recommended. The categories might need to be adjusted (on a community level?) to maintain herd immunity for a given disease. Another alternative would be to offer incentives (e.g. financial) to be vaccinated. Potentially the required schedule could be waived with sufficient reason (the bar would need to be high, e.g. a compromised immune system).

Unfortunately, the points above, which I consider to be quite reasonable (and discussable in rational fashion), cause me to be labelled an anti-vaxxer (and anti-science, which would sound ludicrous to anyone who knows me) and beyond the pale. That is my objection to the anti-anti-vaxxers.

People hate Trump because the political class and the corporate media tell them to. The political class and the corporate media tell the people to hate Trump because their owners, the donor class, tells them too. The donor class does not hate Trump. They just find him unacceptable because they don’t own him.

Similarly, the SJW’s hold the stupid political beliefs they hold because the donor class owns academia. HBD is just collateral damage.

Many of Trump’s supporters are indeed bona fide racists.

Significantly more so than in the general population? I’d like to see some documentation on that.

That “weak on established science” link is hilarious. Today I learned that by wanting to do something about Obamacare, Trump established himself as anti-science. LOL.

On anti-anti-vaxxers, I admit I have never managed to look upon them with a serene lack of contempt. Their exaggerated fearfulness over the minuscule danger of some anti-vaxxer’s child infecting their precious vaccinated sprog with measles would be merely amusing, except that these people’s stupid little fears of course must override other parents’ freedom to care for their own children’s health as they see fit.

Oh, but what would be the worst case outcome if anti-anti-vaxxers would just allow anti-vaxxer parents to not vaccinate their children? Right, he worst case outcome would be for the anti-vaxxers to have been right and your kids now being somehow damaged in a way theirs aren’t. Of course, you can avoid that outcome by forcing everybody to vaccinate.
