Whites, on the other hand, are better at technological creativity than anyone, even East Asians (though the Japanese are pretty good), and, closely related to this, better at war. The current technological superiority of East Asia is substantially dependent on white and Eurasian emigres, among them emigres fleeing the tribal violence and political repression in California and Silicon Valley.
The current white inferiority at war is the result of women in the military. If we return to the early nineteenth century style army, where logistics are classified as camp followers rather than soldiers, and part of the duty of camp followers is getting soldier's dicks wet, where the soldiers are all male and the camp followers disproportionately female, we will return to winning.
I used to be much more an admirer of Rand - nowadays not so much. However, sometimes quotes from her are so very apropos:
“Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes.” -- Ayn Rand The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism
"Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.
It is politically correct to acknowledge that the black man is genetically predispositioned to physical prowess - running for example.
To acknowledge genetic features such as the sloped/slanty eyes of the asian, is also accepted as politically reasonable.
But to ever suggest that the genetic characteristic of mental (as opposed to physical) aptitude is ascribed to the white fella's genome, is an immediate cause for summary lynching;
as the "enlightened" Ayn Rand here apparently vehemently belittles, “Racism is … crude primitive collectivism … [and ascribing/ saying that] intellectual traits are produced and transmitted by internal body chemistry”;
Aka, acknowledging that genetics plays any part, whatsoever, in mental aptitude, is one of the greatest sins of our time!
Quite incredible when you think about it, becuase either the fact is true, or it is not, and in either case, the age of reason was meant to result in humans who simply enquire as to what the fact truly is, rather than how quickly can we crucify someone who ponders or tests such a trait, to determine its veracity.
Simply astounding, but this is the "modern" world where white skinned folk (men in particular) are vilified in general, even for broaching such subjects.
Welcome to The Ministry of Truth.
All human characteristics can be plotted and fall on a bell curve, including intelligence. this is also true of definable sub-populations. I'm guessing that you fall within 1/2 standard deviation from the mean for intelligence, one way or the other. Let us presume that, for the purposes of argument, that the median for African-Americans is shifted left 1/2 standard deviation (which I don't believe to be true, but bear with me). If both of my assumptions are correct, that means that millions of African-Americans are smarter than you. That must really burn, to know that. Kurt
