Evidence that Godless Capitalist is Lower Caste

Godless Capitalist recently banned me from the porn site “Gene Expression” (warning: if you click on that link, software written by south Asian programmer claiming to be “cognitive elitist” has been detecting that you came from Majority Rights and directs you to pornography of black men and white women and it may do so at any time).  He did so because he claims I am a white nationalist—a vague class of people banned from the site.  But he also—perhaps arguing the alternative—claimed that I am an ignoramus when it counts and not capable of critical thought when it counts—hence not suitable company for cognitive elitists such as those supposedly running and contributing to Gene Expression.

Ironically, the justification he gives for claiming this is, itself, a failure of critical thought and/or ignorance when it counts.  Moreover, this exhibition was apparently brought on by my claim that recent immigrants from India’s lower caste may be bringing intestinal flora with them that are causing the autism epidemic among Westerners.

Now, we are led by Godless Capitalist to believe his ancestry is from India, but could his ancestry be lower caste?  Taking personal offense to such an hypothesis and then abusing one’s position of privilege to suppress rational dialogue—providing logically fallacious and/or ignorant justification for these actions—is certainly something more consistent with the hypothesis that he is of lower caste ancestry than brahmin, benefiting from affirmative action and posing as a cognitive elitist, than it is that he is a genuine member of a cognitive elite.  It is tragic for all concerned when such characters succeed.

Read on for his “egregious” logical fallacy and/or ignorance.

Quoting Godless Capitalist as he bans me:

you don’t know what a robust regression is (hint: this is non robust as a) no multiple testing correction is applied, a necessity as this bizarre relationship was found from data mining rather than first principles and b) outlier identification eliminates the correlation anyway, as is clear from the scatterplot). Get off our blog, white nationalists (particularly egregiously stupid ones like yourself) are not welcome here. All further comments of yours will be deleted.

And he did, indeed, delete the following response to him, which I wrote, disrespecting the supposed property rights claimed by Godless Capitalist (a disrespect for which I will provide justification if asked but that is another topic):

Don’t you think Edwards heard of haplotype when he wrote “Lewontin’s Fallacy”? I suspect he’s read the literature.

Umm, no, I’m saying that *YOU* don’t know what a haplotype is and *YOU* haven’t read the literature.

Yes.
I know. However, since Edwards, also, failed to discuss haplotype by
name in “Lewontin’s Fallacy” the inference that failure to mention
haplotype in the context of genetic correlation structures implies
ignorance of the literature is flawed.

PS: As for robust vs non
robust correlations, I suspect you need to have a long sit-down with
Ewald before you start dismissing such correlations in epidemiology.
However, this is starting to stray from the very crucial topic of this
post.

Note he is positing that I am a “white nationalist” and that I engaged in “data mining” to come up with the correlation between autism rates and the conjunction of recent immigrants from India with people of Finnish ancestry.  A little background may be in order about “data mining”:  It is a term used as both indictment and description in different contexts.  As description, it refers to the process whereby statistical inferences may legitimately be drawn from the explosion of data arriving in various forms in information systems of increasing capacity.  As indictment, it refers to noticing patterns in data and drawing conclusions from those patterns without testing them.  The indictment requires a lack of “prejudice”, “preconception” or, perhaps I should say “previously held hypothesis” aka prediction.

Here’s the problem with logic and/or ignorance like Godless Capitalist’s, as explained to Steve Sailer when I sent him this correlation a little over a year ago—which he didn’t touch with a ten foot poll for reasons that may have much to do with his friendship with the GNXP’ers:

I’ve been accused of “data-mining” the correlations, since it seems _incredible_ that out of all the 2 variable combinations of biologically relevant variables the correlation I predicted would end up being the at the top.  (Indeed, I admit to being surprised at my own “luck” here since one would expect that some other combinations would have higher correlations just by chance.) To some extent a fair accusation since I didn’t specifically publish Finnish ancestry nor Indian immigrants as suspects prior to publishing my results.  However, I’m also well known for being a “racist”—even a “nordicist” (an accusation commonly coming at me from within the white nationalist community) who may have an ax to grind on behalf of Finns and against recent immigrants from India due to my profession as a computer programmer and the competition I’ve experienced as such from Indians.

So my detractors have a dilemma:  Either they have to drop the accusation of “racism/nordicism” or they have to drop their accusation that I “data-mined” the correlations.
They can’t have it both ways.

Of course, if they try dropping their accusation so they can make the “data-mining” accusation more credible, I can point to a long history, going back to at least 1992, of pushing the racialist envelope on Usenet—specifically looking at possible influences of northern climate on characteristics.  If they say Indian immigrants are only one group out of many invading the country, so I data-mined the Indian-immigrant factor, I can point to my 10 year stint in Silicon Valley during which I and my “nativist” colleagues were having our profession destroyed.

What I didn’t describe here was my Genetic Omnidominance Hypothesis which is the reason the first correlation I attempted against the Department of Education’s autism stats was Finnish ancestry.  It was after I got a reasonably high correlation that I decided to run a rank order of all national ancestries against autism and to even my mild surprise, Finns came out on top (again, I was surprised not because I didn’t expect Finns to come out high, but because I would have expected some others to exceed Finns just by chance).  This is what motivated me to further pursue the collection of immigrant data and when I had collected it I ran a rank order of immigrant group correlations with autism in the presence of a colleague whose first born child is a profoundly autistic boy.  My colleague, to whom I had mentioned my suspicions about Indian immigrants before, said, “Indians are going to be at the top.” Again, I didn’t really expect this to happen—merely that they would be near the top.  But he was right.  I then wrote special software to take the product between demographic variables and this time the predicted product, Finns*Indians didn’t come out on top—merely very near the top—which is what I expected.  It was only after I did outlier identification (throwing out the top and bottom autism States) and restricted the demographic variables to biologically relevant ones that the predicted product came out on top. 

This is all standard preliminary epidemiology and is quite sufficient to justify further investment in, perhaps county-level or case-study, research to invalidate the hypothesis.

But with “cognitive elitists” like Godless Capitalist increasingly occupying positions of trust and authority in the West, we may never discover the cause of autism nor many other profoundly important facts.

Indeed, it appears men like Godless Capitalist may be the new Lewontins and a billion strong.

In closing, I should describe just how frighteningly tragic it is that men like this are occupying positions of trust and authority in the west:

There are conditions under which genocide is justifiable.  Specifically, when men occupying positions of trust and authority over other groups appear to be doing so based on nepotism and are causing so much damage from those positions that they deprive their betters of the resources they need to make fine discriminations between members of the ingroup as well as depriving them of the resources required to take corrective action that is less gross.

James,

Anybody who still can’t see that gc’s a hypocritical ethnic-nepotist of the first water is blind or Indian.  I don’t think even Arcane, who imagines Nazis everywhere, is fooled nowadays.

I rather like GNXP, from a first inspection.  Very sound on genetic engineering, and the possibility of improving by science the slobs around us.

I agree with the majority view on this site, but not everything revolves around race.

Mangus, since even the leadership of the “slobs around us” are third rate at best, it seems to be a relief when second rate individuals occupy positions of prominence.  However, when problems are as serious as those we are experiencing, first rate talent is required, and GNXP is second rate at best.

I didn’t read the debate.  I know from experience that the discussions there involve admin skullduggery and so don’t trust them.

I also know from experience that GC is wacko.  Seriously, he’s not altogether there.  He wrote me an email once describing his delusions about my genocidal plans, my totalitarian dreams, etc.; it was an amazing piece of work.

I agree with the majority view on this site, but not everything revolves around race.

That’s about as fair as me telling you I agree with conservatism, but water’s usually wet, not dry.  The whole western world ignores race (when it isn’t lying about it), but we’re supposed to be moderate about it?  There’s something very disingenuous about that to me.

I like to tell people to think of an artificial intelligence and what it would talk about the most if it became marginally sentient.  Basically, it would have a maximum parsimony model of the world, and if certain entities required to make the model parsimonious were continually ignored by users, it would bring up those entities in disproportion attempting to better communicate the model.  If the users attempted to deny the value of the entity and offer more convoluted models the poor AI would be left “obsessing” over the entity and the users, unable to adopt the parsimonious model would be tempted to go back to reading blogs like GNXP.

James, for what it is worth, Razib described GC as a “Tamil Brahmin” on the Dienekes blog.  Whether that is true or not, I do not know.  Have you considered the possbility - which has been broached here before - that the influence of South Asians on autism may be due to a factor other than intestinal parasites?  That is, something else about South Asians are causing this?  For example, the race recognition software of the amygdala being negatively influenced during childhood development through exposure to South Asian racial types? 

Note as well, that Razib has been mocking Finns and Finnish behavior all spring at GNXP; you should scroll through the posts of the last several months.

The post about Jan Michael Vincent is particularly instructive in this regard.

Bingo.  As Scroob has noted, I think we’d all find better things to do if everyone else wasn’t sticking their heads in the sand and singing to themselves.

It’s like there’s a burning house that no one will even look at, much less phone the fire department about.  When we scream and jump up and down and point at the burning building, people keep responding in condescending tones that we’re “obsessing,” but stragely they won’t look us in the eye as they do.

Not as much as I probably should have given the recent research showing amygdala activation responding to visual stimulation with facial phenotypes varying by race.  I have, however, considered the possibility that there are mind viruses or memes that might be responsible for subverting the function of the amygdala resulting in parasitic castrating disorders such as autism appears to be. 

Here’s what I wrote about the general topic in the GOD Hypothesis:

EMOTIVE MEMES AS HUMAN PHEROMONES

As discussed above, it is plausible that territorial competition between males has resulted in a variety of mechanisms for manipulating the amygdalae of rivals via extended phenotypics. The amygdala is a key structure in the processes of smell. One of the more plausible neurochemical routes for such genetic omnidominant expression would be the emission of olfactory signals. Pheromones are among the more evolutionarily sophisticated mechanisms by which such extended phenotypic manipulation might occur. In humans, smell has been shown to play some role in sexual attractiveness, with some studies indicating a feminine ability to discriminate between MHC genotypes with consequences for sexual attractiveness. It is natural to presume, therefore, that pheromones play a similar role in humans. However, Jacobson’s organ, and the associated structures for the neurochemical pathways involving pheromones are, in humans, atrophied compared to their counterparts in other animals. This leads one to suspect that a new mechanism has arisen with humans that largely displaces the role played by pheromones in other animals. A clue as to what this new mechanism might be can be found in the other, primary, function of the amygdala—and that is in the storage of emotive memory. In human evolution, memes—replicators that rely on human memory as their raw material—are transmitted between humans with sophistication that rivals and indeed, in many areas, easily surpasses the sophistication of pheromones. Furthermore, such enormous reliance on memes for intraspecific communication seems as unique to humans as is the vestigial nature of structures for pheromones. It is plausible, therefore, that with the development of neurochemical pathways for memes—particularly memes associated with intense emotions—humans lost many of the evolutionary pressures that maintain the pheromone-specific neurochemical pathways in other animals.

Spatial structure in populations has been shown by Oliphant (Oliphant, M. (1994). Evolving cooperation in the non-iterated prisoner’s dilemma: The importance of spatial organization. In Brooks, R. and Maes, P. (Eds.) Proceedings of the fourth artificial life workshop, pp. 349-352 MIT Press: Cambridge, MA.) to be sufficient to evolve memetic capability in kin-based societies. However, in non-kin environments, such as those predicted by the genetic omnidominance hypothesis to produce intraspecific parasitic castration, one should expect to find Saussurean communication progressively degenerating as evolutionary pressure drives the expression of increasingly sophisticated means of transmitting emotive memes that take up residence as emotive memories in the amygdala of rivals thereby reducing their reproductive competence.

I was banned from gene expression after only one post.  The discussions there are often quite interesting, though, so I have recently begun commenting there again, and they let me through.  I don’t know exactly how their “banning” procedure works, but it appears to be temporary, although it might have something to do with the fact that I moved, and have a different IP address, or maybe I used a different user name before, I don’t really remember.

Anyway, this theory about Indian intestinal flora causing autism is fascinating.  What evidence is there of intestinal flora causing autism?  Do you have a page somewhere that summarizes your evidence?

Godless Capitalist linked to an older version of it in the text I copied above but the link got screwed up.  A more up to date version is at:

http://laboratoryofthestates.com/imbamcoa.html

Although I haven’t outlined all the evidence for thinking that intestinal flora, per se, are the cause.  My main reason for positing that specific subhypothesis out of the more general class of hypotheses (presented in The Genetic Omnidominance Hypothesis:  The Amygdala and Parasitic Castration) is due to the fact that there is something specific that is low cost that people can do to reduce their risk:  Simply avoid Indian restaurants if you a) have any suspected Finnish ancestry and b) are attempting to have children or raise infants.

“Simply avoid Indian restaurants if you a) have any suspected Finnish ancestry and b) are attempting to have children or raise infants.”

Autistics and Asparagussies are handicapped in interpersonal relations. They do not know how to flatter, for instance. Ironically, they may be unable to curry favor because their parents favored curry.

GC is *not* Jewish, nor Chinese.  He is an American-born South Asian of Indian descent.  That is definite and is openly admitted in the past at GNXP.

You can always ask Derbyshire if you still doubt it.

James, if the amygdala hypothesis is correct, then one should eschew contact with all South Asians (including the American-born), or, at least, prevent contact between South Asians and white children (particularly of Finnish or similar descent).

Avoiding Indian eateries is certainly a good idea, but probably does not go far enough. For white families, particularly of certain ancestries and with male children, social ostracism of South Asians, in general, may be the most prudent course of action.

If South Asians deem this “unfair”, then they should support open research into your findings, so that we can determine with more accuracy the cause of the observed correlation.

Preventing such research leaves us with the cautious approach outlined above.

Posted by GNXP stinks on Friday, June 9, 2006 at 01:01 PM | #


Yes, social exclusion of South Asians would be advisable as well if it weren’t for the fact that the cost to many of us would be unacceptable seeing as how we are dependent on making money to eat and shelter ourselves. 

It is the tragedy of our time that the desire for approximation of ancestral environments is based on reasonable caution about critical developmental stages—and is portrayed as the ultimate evil by, what our own John Bolton has called, “vectorists” who are running the moral equivalent of a global theocracy.

Godless Capitalist and his ilk are far from godless—they are enthusiastic supporters of this global theocracy whatever they may say.

Posted by James Bowery on Friday, June 9, 2006 at 02:21 PM | #


I must agree with President Shrub here. I don’t see what Godless Capitalist has done wrong; he was correct in stating you are leaping to conclusions with your GOD hypothesis by having a theory before hand, i.e. those foul Indians are causing trouble, and then finding ‘evidence’ to prove it in an unscientific manner.

It is very interesting that autism is more frequent among those of Finnish ancestry, and it is also very interesting that the amygdala is affected in autism. But other than that, your paper is without scientific merit.

For instance, you state that testosterone levels can be greatly affected by environment and emotions. That is very true: the hypothalamus excretes luteinizing hormone which in turn stimulates testosterone production in the nuts, and the hypothalamus can be affected by emotions. What you are suggesting is that competition from non-whites is stressing out whites, causing them to have lower testosterone, and also somehow causing more autistic whites to be born. Wtf?!

Has it not occured to you that there are many things other than non-white competition that cause people, in this case white males, to get stressed out? Surely competition in general, or indeed other factors like working hours or workload, may contribute to stress. Claiming that amygdala shrinkage, supposedly due to evil Indians taking up The White Man’s computing jobs in Silicon Valley, and TWM memorizing their faces and being contaminated by their stomach bacteria all leads to autism is harebrained, to put it bluntly.

The jury is very much out on the causes of autism. You seemed to have ignored other possible causes, such as medicines, vacines, foods, pollutants etc. There is also a hereditary component in alot of cases, especially with mild autism (e.g. Asperger’s). If you mention certain types of faces and the recognition of such faces causing autism in males, perhaps it could extend to inorganic objects, such as cars, buildings, TVs etc. etc.?

I don’t think GC is banning you because he’s trying to supress the horrible Indian autism conspiracy, I think he’s banning you because you’ve expressed an overt political agenda, which from what I’ve seen is against the rules. If you were expressing a Marxist blank slate agenda, you would most likely be banned as well, seeing as GC gets pissed off at such people, and rightly so.

None of this has proven what caste he is either. Hey, even if lower castes in India DID have some bug that causes autism, what makes you think it’s spread out across the entire subcontinent?

If anyone here is dealing out logical fallacies, it’s you, in your post addressing Pres. Shrub. I get it, he got 0 views, and you got 400-something views, .’. your opinions are better. Argumentum ad populum much? rolleyes

Acute skullfuckery of the scientific method aside, your picure on your site suggest you happen(ed) to sport very metally hair, which is cool.

James: “...is certainly something more consistent with the hypothesis that he is of lower caste ancestry than brahmin, benefiting from affirmative action and posing as a cognitive elitist”

Actually, he benefits from affirmative action - de jure and de facto - regardless of his caste ancestry.

*All* Asians are considered “socially disadvantaged minorities” (de jure) by the government, and are eligible for small business assistance and other perks denied white men.  Even if you wish to argue that this de jure action doesn’t apply to academia (and one can be skeptical there as well), we run into the problem of de facto affirmative action.  By this - both ethnic nepotism of Asians “helping their own” in advancement and in reviewing grants and manuscripts, as well as older tenured whites (themselves with secure positions) giving a “helping hand” to a “person of color.”

Which leads to James’ justified conclusion:
“ It is tragic for all concerned when such characters succeed.”

The fact that upper-caste Hindus are facing affirmative action hurdles in India to placate the lower castes is no justification for de jure and de facto preferences for Asians in the United States.  The caste system is a South Asian invention and it is their responsibility to deal with the social chaos caused by that system.  Westerners are not responsible, and are not obligated to give preferential treatment to upper-caste Indians who wish to benefit from, not suffer from, affirmative action type policies.

Yarus, I may be prejudiced in that I take James’ side in his ‘conflict’ with GC, but I believe you are being too quick to disregard the suggestive evidence.

Let’s look at the amygdala argument, that James mentioned on his website, and which was also mentioned on this blog some time ago.  It may be coincidence, but the amygdala is involved with both race recognition and autism.  I believe that the argument made here before was - and if I am misquoting it please correct me - that the amygdala of developing (white, especially Finnish) children is capable of efficiently distinguishing among the major racial groups - Whites,Blacks, and Yellows, but has trouble in dealing with groups like South Asians.  For most children, this would have no effect, but there may be a particularly susceptible sub-population which, after repeated exposure to South Asians, may exhibit a amygdala-related “neurological shock”, inducing autism.

That is a hypothsis, as is James’ idea of intestinal flora.  By all means, let us test these ideas; no one claims they are definite.  *The problem* is when the correlation is rejected out of hand, with a refusal to even contemplate examining possible mechanisms.

You also seem to imply that GNXP are all open-minded folks who only ban in extreme cases.  Or, that is what their recent “4 year anniversary self-love fest” would have you believe.

In point of fact, this blog was founded to a large extent because of GNXP’s tendency to ban/delete those they disagree with. 

Everyone can do what they please on their own blog, but, for example, when GNXP attacks WN, and then bans WNs from replying, deleting the comments, then that is not a forum for open debate.

And, if you do not think that GNXP has a political agenda as well, you are very naive my friend.

Indeed.  That is precisely the paradigm at GNXP.  I have no problem with that per se, but when GC and Razib then preen over their own intellectual honesty, I have to call foul.  They’re basically liars.  If they came out and admitted that the full range of debate is not allowed, I’d see it differently (and I’d have a bit more respect for them).

Without ever having visited the site Gene Expression, nor having heard of the creature known as Godless Capitalist, I found that the title of this article, “Evidence that Godless Capitalist is Lower Caste”, contained an unintentional, universal truism, namely that, yes, the godless capitalist is a lower caste.  The Godless nationalist on the otherhand…

Yarus, you missed the point which I perhaps took too great pains introducing:  Godless Capitalist doesn’t know whereof he speaks when he accuses me of “Data Mining” and it is inescably obvious that it is due to his egregious ignorance and/or stupidity.

GNXP sucks,

I can accept that facial recognition and it’s relationship with autism should be looked into, even if it seems extremely unlikely to be of any significance. It’s just that India is a huge continent, with huge biodiversity among the populace. Some Indians look like dark Mediterraneans, some with almost black skin, some with long thin noses, snub noses, thick and thin lips etc. etc. What specific population of India is James concerned about, and what is it about their face that is harmful for a young infants brain?

Come to think of it, I don’t see how facial recognition has anything to do with amygdala malfunction; the fusiform gyrus is the part of the brain that deals with facial recognition.

If you’re going to make a scientific hypothesis, you’re going to have to involve more skepticism and way more material from neuroscienctific papers, especially about autism and endocrinology. Infact, research on white families living in the subcontinent would be very handy indeed.

James states that the reason he’s made this Indian/Autism theory is because if it were true and people weren’t doing anything about it, the problem could get out of hand. I ask: how can you be sure? Surely we should concentrate on investigating other more likely culprits, such as toxins and heavy metal (I don’t mean the good musical kind) pollutants, which have been proven to affect the brain?

If you were going to research the affect of people’s faces on causing autism, you shouldn’t immediately say it’s the fault Indian people. I would suggest using Finnish children and show them pictures of people of various ethnicities, including Indian, while employing fMRI to scan brain activity, and see abnormalities in activity occurs when the kid looks at some Indian dude’s noggin. If you are scared of them becoming autistic, perhaps oldish children should be used. Until then, you aren’t going to get any scientific backing at all by saying “Indians!! Jews!!! Feminism!! Gays!!” in that paper of yours. It just reeks of Awful Link Of The Day material to be linked to SomethingAwful.com.

I really don’t see why everyone hates GNXP. I’m guessing it’s mostly because they don’t like white nationalists, but you do realise they hate [insert race/ethnicity]-nationalists of any sort and blank slaters/race deniers? I thought GNXP specifically stated that it’s a science forum, not a politics forum. If James said something like “perhaps intestinal flora can cause autism, and perhaps we should investigate if it occurs more in some groups than others?” or “maybe facial recognition at an early age could lead to brain malformation, thus leading to autism? It could be from TV, people, magazines etc.” then that would be acceptable, and I guess fellow GNXPers might even look over the same statistics as James has.

It’s obviously going to be offensive to GC if you outright claim that Indians are to blame for autism, and that they’re carriers of infectious gut germs. I would be offended if, for example, Italians claimed those of Irish/English descent were to blame for people of Italians getting skin cancer more than usual, and thus should be prevented from associating with people in Italy. I would become more angry once I found out that the Italian making these claims was inspired by English/Irish types stealing The Italian Man’s computing jobs and thusly tried to find suitable correllations supposedly proving a skin cancer causing Irish/English population. If you haven’t guessed yet, I’m Irish/English…

What kind of political agenda do you suppose GNXP is pushing?

Jim,

“Data mining” used to mean “data dredging”, which is what you are doing by creating a hypothesis from merely observing data. I don’t see how mistaking one word for another, especially if a) they are very similar and b) one used to mean the other not too long ago, means one is greatly stupid or ignorant.

Perhaps I took too great a pain trying to show how crackpot your paper was? Maybe that proves that you are unintelligent? Not really. An IQ test would do fine.

Just because someone makes an easy terminological mistake doesn’t mean they’re unintelligent, nor does it mean you should write an article about it…

Yarus, you too are stupid and/or ignorant but its not really worth the time to go over it all for you.

Suffice to say GC didn’t just make a terminology error—he founded his entire critique on the idea that what I was doing was Data Dredging (which he called Data Mining in the indicting sense—which is an accepted use of that phrase as I already pointed out).

GNXP stinks, I think it is worse than that.

Read the GNXP retrospective where they say:

That this niche was so empty is an indictment of the intellectual landscape of the time: the “realists” were the racists and they were not moderate, and the “moderates” were the antiracists, and they were not realist.

The “affirmative action” at work here is actually pretty obvious: “Moderation” is no virtue when the truth is at stake—only realism is.  There has been a long history going back to the 19th century of taking realists and attacking them via vicious slander and libel targeted at people identified as white.  The most disgusting abuse of this suppressing fire was the resurgence of human sociobiology under the moniker of “evolutionary psychology” by the Jews Tooby and Cosmides who, by virtue of their ethnicity, were allowed to operate without too much libel as they redefined the field devoid of genetic diversity and ‘g’.  To some extent the criticism applies to Hernstein.  Then you had triangulators like Rushton (using Asian ‘superiority’ as his shield) who opened up the ground for later triangulators like Sailer (triangulation is basically strategically looking at where the conflict is and putting yourself in the middle so you can appear moderate—then moving in the direction of realism when it is safe to do so but never really coping to the fact that you let someone else take the bullets for you).  Then of course you finally have guys like Razib and GC who get to pull things off because they have brown skin—a de facto form of affirmative action—and they get to say that those people who were slandered and libeled viciously before them were actually guilty of the accusations while they, on the other hand, are “cognitive elitists”.  The whole thing leads to a heirarchy of politicial bullshit with the bodies of heroes littering the landscape.

Jim,

Explain why I’m what you claim me to be.

Surely you are ignorant in disregarding other factors that might cause autism and by focusing only on a flimsy hypothesis that you crafted out of spite of those who compete against you in the work place?

Posted by Yarus on Friday, June 9, 2006 at 11:45 PM | #


I really don’t see why everyone hates GNXP.

I don’t hate GNXP.  I call them liars.  There is a difference, you know.  I’d like to like Razib and GC, but their being liars precludes that.

I’m guessing it’s mostly because they don’t like white nationalists, but you do realise they hate [insert race/ethnicity]-nationalists of any sort and blank slaters/race deniers?

How is that supposed to mitigate anything?

I thought GNXP specifically stated that it’s a science forum, not a politics forum.

That’s an irrelevant excuse.  As has been stated, the paradigm goes like this:

GNXP attacks WN, and then bans WNs from replying, deleting the comments, then that is not a forum for open debate.

You can substitute many different statements for “GNXP attacks WN” here.  Many times the offending statement was some totally absurd statement about jews, sometimes it was a straw man attack on WNs by a commenter, etc.

If the goal is to keep certain discussions off your blog, fine, but that’s not GNXP’s goal vis-a-vis WNism; GNXP’s goal vis-a-vis WNism is to keep one half of the discussion off their blog.

Even that is acceptable, but then comes the inevitable attitude of self-identified fair-mindedness, or allusions to same, and that’s where I draw the line.  That’s a lie.

If you’re not a radical leftist, surely you can understand the distinction between calling someone a liar, and hating him?  They are most definitely both liars.

Posted by Svyatoslav Igorevich on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 12:17 AM | #


Oh, another paradigm is both GC and Razib’s habit of straw man arguments, usually profferred right after a ban/delete orgy.

It’s so very honest to attribute your opponents’ animus to simple colorism, right after deleting his argument that contained no such, isn’t it?  That’s precisely the sort of crap they both get up to (it was done to me), particularly GC.

If you base your philosophy on, there are no truths, “Solipsism”, and then philosophical assumptions would apply , but in the realms of scientific findings based on science, not pseudo intellectual hypothesis crafted only to create confusion and deception,
Then any who argue or obfuscate, and create irrelevant arguments, have obviously some agendas to for fill, and it would not be the whole sum of knowledge they have in mind, would it.
Personaly , I would follow James’s for obvious reasons.

The paradigm you’ve quoted is not limited to white nationalists, as I have already said. However, I guess you’re right that it is wrong for GNXP to attack ‘x’ and then prevent them from replying.

You may not hate them, but from reading alot of comments on this site alot of people enjoy saying how dumb GNXPers are and how ignorant they are, while ignoring stupid, incoherent comments made by other white people on the same comment page. This led me to believe there is alot of hate going around. I should’ve said “most people on this blog” instead of “everyone”, soz.

James (again),

As I said, if you want to argue that intestinal flora, face perception and stress could cause autism then please do so. From such research, maybe we might find that Indian immigrants to the US could be a cause of autism, although if that’s extremely unlikely.

What I’m trying to say is that you’re argument is in the wrong order. You’re suggesting that Indians may indeed cause autism, thus we must find out the reasons why, i.e. faces, flora, stress etc. Not only will this offend people, but it makes the avenue of research too narrow. It would be much easier to instead investigate the effects of intestinal flora, facial recognition and stress on people and THEN see if Indians disproportionately have certain attributes that could cause autism in young Finns. Who knows, maybe the pheremones of Irish/English people secreted while pizza is being eaten might cause autism in Finns? It sounds a bit crazy, but it would’ve been reached through unbiased sound scientific reasoning that follows proper methodology if it were true.

I’ve already explained this in one of my previous posts, yet you still call me arrogant and/or stupid.

I apoligize, however, for overlooking your definition of the pejorative form of data mining.

Andrew,

I can’t really understand what you’re saying, for your syntax and punctuation is all over the place. Why do you wish to follow James when he seems to be flouting a “pseudo intellectual hypothesis”, or are you being sarcastic?

Posted by Yarus on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 01:43 AM | #


No, J B has done a great job in his field and produced some very informative posts based on his own research materials available to him. Click on James’s name title (Authors) and read more of his posts.
Perhaps I could have been more specific, although you may already have a good operational scientific ethical constitution, and not make inferences based on assumptions and speculate about findings because it makes you popular amongst the Looters and witch doctors, heavens forbid if you ever cross that line, some might even get the sack, and discredited; Worst still, you may have to get a real job , with real knowledge and ethics- even burn a few eyebrows and a bit of dirt under the finger nails; yes I know, we are a dieing race, but don’t bare any guilt because of it.

Posted by Andrew on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 05:31 AM | #


You have to be kidding. Of course whites aren’t a dying race. Birth rates overall amongst those usually thought of as white are still positive.

Even though James is a very good statistical analysist, he isn’t a very adept biologist, is prone to leaping to paranoid conclusions and isn’t that good a scientist. Sorry, dude.

It would be foolhardy to study Indians, which is a very vague term considering the huge amount of ethnicities in India, to discover if they cause autism. James has come up with various theories as to why they might cause autism, theories which hardly anyone in the scientific community has discussed, but may well be worth studying. I’m merely suggesting that it would be easier to study the theories James has put forward (faces, flora, stress etc.), see if any of them are the cause of the problem, and then study Indian people - amongst many other ethnicities, including whites - to see if they disproportionately have any autism-causing characteristics.

Even if such studies are carried out, as I’ve said one has to get it in their head that India is a mahooosive place with loads of biodiversity among the citizens. It’s unlikely that every single Indian would be prone to making Finns autistic.

Why is what I’ve just said stupid and/or ignorant? Why wasn’t my Italian/Irish analogy good enough? Can none of you realise how irrational it is to sever contact from Indians just because of some correllation?

Please clarify and how you came to this conclusion in view of this data.

As to Godless Capitalist, whether JB’s assertion is correct or not is irrelevant to the fact that GC is vociferously against white racialism.  He is aware what racial awareness entails for people of his ilk and argues against it based on BAD faith.  As Svigor above aptly states, he and Razib are simply brown liars.  That is the gist of it.

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 11:58 AM | #


I thought GC was against politics being discussed on his blog? WN is a political affliation, thus shouldn’t be discussed on his blog. It’s James’ fault for obviously voicing a strong political stance by suggesting that ethnic group X causes autism. He could’ve easily suggested instead that maybe there’s a bug that causes autism, or maybe types of facial recognition causes autism, or maybe stress causes autism, and from discussing such subjects maybe people might reach the same conclusion as James, although that is very unlikely because it is a silly hypothesis. He should’ve read the rules properly and tried to push his theory in a way which wouldn’t of got him banned.

If a socialist, for example, suggested on GNXP that big buisiness causes autism, and managed to produce good correllations between GDP per capita and autism, and proposed that people vote for socialist governments to take power until the relationship between big buisiness and autism had been established, he would’ve been banned like crazy. Sure, autism seems to be more prevalent in richer countries but saying it’s caused by capitalism is extremely vague, as is blaming Indians.

It is a bit silly of them to make fun of political groups and then prevent said political groups from replying, yes. You must realise that they also take the piss out of [insert ethnicity] nationalists of any kind, and especially left wingers, yet you don’t seem to complain that they’re being unfair to said groups. I agree it’s a bit unfair, but on the other hand it would waste time if politics were allowed to be discussed freely.

Bringing politics into scientific discussion can often slow things down too much. If you are a WN posting on GNXP, then voice your scientific opinions in a way which won’t label you as a WN. Same goes if you’re a Chinese nationalist, or a communist or a Satanist or whatever.

If they make fun of a political group, then email them, from a politically neutral perspective, and convince them to stop hypocritically dissing political groups (which is by no means limited to white nationalism, which is what you claim). If that doesn’t work, set up a website and/or a petition to protest against GNXPers engaging in such hypocrisy, again from a politically neutral perspective.

I don’t think GC argued against white nationalism on bad faith, he’s pretty spot on when he hypothesised the US would be ruined if the entire country were balkanised into ethnic enclaves, especially if whites were a plurality at such a time. Of course, he definately shouldn’t argue about such things now the no-politics rule is in place, unless he wishes to be hypocritical.

Posted by Yarus on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 02:20 PM | #


First Yarus admits that GNXP is anti- racial nationalist, and then he questions what their political agenda is!  LOL!  And their opposition to “all” racial nationalism (strangely absent when some Asian guy started running down whites a few years ago in the comments section) can be viewed as a strategic decision – as minorities, the founders of GNXP have an interest to delegitimize WN.  To convince whites of the illegitimacy of racial nationalism, they cannot up and say “hey, for us, racial nationalism is OK.” That would trigger ethnocentric responses in some whites.  The aim of GNXP is to lull whites to sleep, and reinforce non-ethnocentric behavior in whites, a wise strategy for desis.

GNXP as non-political?  Hardly:

http://www.vdare.com/letters/tl_080104.htm
“Godless Capitalist” is an intellectually incandescent and politically juvenile young Indian who sometimes diverges from making interesting scientific postings on the remarkable human bio-diversity blog Gene Expression to his second task: acting as Political Commissar to make sure America is kept safe for high-IQ recent non-white Immigrants.  In this capacity he has posted a characteristically venomous discussion of Drew Fraser’s recent VDARE piece.”

Oleg from the Diekenes blog:
“Perhaps, though he hasn’t banned me yet. In any case I wouldn’t expect that you’ll sell Godless on white nationalism anytime soon. I just argue with him for fun and because it’s a good exercise, really. The bottom line is that whites don’t need Asians and we would be much better off without Jews. By contrast, Jews need whites and Asians living in our countries benefit enormously from us. I think that Godless knows this and therefore perceives white racial consciousness as a potential threat, which is why he is so pro-race-mixing and pro-immigration (i.e., he basically takes the same stance toward whites that Jews have traditionally taken since he is in a similar position).
Posted by: Oleg at July 25, 2003 12:12 AM”

GC himself:
“So I say: no.  You will not do this in my country.  You’re free to try moving to Iceland, or enacting immigration restriction in one of the mostly white countries in Eastern Europe.  But America is my home.  You will not forcibly expropriate my property, nor deport me from the land of my birth. I speak English with greater fluency than 99% of the semi-literates who post on Stormfront.  I have more technical expertise than ten of them put together. What right have they to tell me I am not an American?  None whatsoever.  In the end, land has always been the property of those willing to fight for it, and America is no different.  If you ever did fight ... you would lose.  I am confident that it will not come to that, however.  I’ve spent quite some time lurking on the SF boards.  Every post is monitored by the United States government.  Every IP is tracked.  White nationalism will never become a viable political movement.”

Of course, if the last sentence is correct, why is GNXP so obsessed with such a non-viable movement?  They do protest too much.
The amygdala, race and face:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/08/000825081924.htm

Now, no one here claims that the amygdala or intestinal flora hypotheses *must* be true.  All we say is that James’ correlations strongly suggest something that needs to be investigated.  And, until this can occur, prudence suggests social ostracism of South Asians.

Your straw man arguments about other ethnic groups and skin cancer and other such nonsense is irrelevant.  Where is the correlation data and what is the *reasonable* hypothesis to be tested?  You have none, you are just attempting to ridicule James’ work by citing any ludicrous example you can.  It doesn’t wash.

Your comments about the “biodiversity” of India are irrelevant as well.  If the flora hypothesis is correct, then it may well be that most South Asians are so infected; may we test a population sample, or do you object to that as well?  If the amygdala hypothesis is correct, then the internal variation in India is not important; what is important is how a young white child (or, the amygdala of said child) reacts to the range of physical appearances characteristic of South Asians.  That there is not one “single typical appearance” is not relevant as long as most (or all?) of the appearance types are such to “confuse” white amygdala function.  And don’t obfuscate the issue by dealing with exceptions – a few Indians may look white or a few may look black, or a few, in the extreme northeast, may look oriental.  The vast majority of South Asians do not look like any of these groups.  Razib has posted his picture online, and he is typical of most South Asians that many of us here have seen in the USA.  He does not look white, nor black, nor East Asian, but has characteristics of all 3 groups. 

We are talking about South Asians as a group, not single individuals who may be outliers.

“It’s James’ fault for obviously voicing a strong political stance by suggesting that ethnic group X causes autism”

What stupidity is this?  Have the people at GNXP stopped talking about racial differences in intelligence?  You talk about politics not influencing science, then you say we must not offend ethnic groups by citing data that may upset them!  Who is harming science now? 

Should we refrain from discussing data and ideas that have biomedical consequences simply because it may offend someone?  Is that not political?

How about Razib mocking Finns, and ridiculing Jan Michael Vincent’s northern-adapted personality complex?  How does that fit into your vision of GNXP as a non-political, non-offensive bastion of solid science?

They are *always* - even now- talking about differences between groups, differences that are just as politically relevant as what James suggests.

Your personal opinion about GC being “spot on” is just that, a personal opinion.  Others may think differently, no?  Your opinion about GC’s “ideas” does not alter the *fact* of GNXP’s hypocrisy, that they bring up topics, then ban the opposition - and *then* congratulate themselves on how they “always win the arguments!”

I don’t see how my Italian-Irish/English-skin cancer example was a strawman. I was trying to say that just because a correllation exists doesn’t mean it’s a viable thing to act upon, and the hypothesis James has come up with is definately not viable to act upon.

Seeing as there’s some sort of correllation between the GDP per capita of a country and the rates of autism in said country, perhaps we should get rid of lots of money before proper investigation proves the hypothesis correct or not? Of course not. More cars have been sold than ever before, and more cases of autism have been diagnosed than ever before, so I guess we should ditch all motor vehicles and go everywhere by bike? As much as I would like that, it wouldn’t work out in real life, and is an irrational thing to act upon.

James’ hypothesis is also irrational to act upon. Perhaps he should do some more research before he decides to blame Indians for causing autism? He may even find another ethnic group that correllates strongly with autism levels among Finns, and it may even be a white one for all we know.

I’m not suggesting amygdala stuff and bacteria stuff shouldn’t be studied, of course they should. I’m trying to say, for the nth time, that James is going about it the wrong way.

He’s saying:

1) Levels of autism seem to correllate with levels of Indians in a certain area. Thus, we must seperate ourselves from them.
2) I will choose to not pursue further study because I am pissed at all the Indian competition I get at work and want to get at Indians. For all I know there could be even more significant correllations at work here, but no, I hate Indians.
3)I have no idea why Indians might cause autism, but I have several intriguing reasons why they might be. Let’s test them.

He should’ve said:

1) I have several intriguing theories as to what might cause autism. Let’s test them.
A VERY hypothetical situation follows. After much research is done:
2) Goodness! Indians seem to have something about them that causes autism in Finns. Thus, we must seperate ourselves from them.

Can you see which would be most acceptable and most likely to work?

Stop using strawman arguments, I’m not denying that GNXPers are capable of hypocrisy and I’ve already stated I resent such hypocrisy. Intelligence differences between groups is based on solid evidence; autism causing factors among Indians is definately not. I don’t think IQ testing was devised in order to prove non-whites inferior, for example, and nor do I think further research into autism should be spurred by a fear of Indians. Jeez…

Of course we shouldn’t refrain from discussion of ideas that might be offensive, but making crazy claims without following proper methodology isn’t the right way to go about it, as I’ve explained countless times!!

And Soren, as much as I’m sorry for confusing a word, I wasn’t raping the rules of English syntax and punctuation.

I thought GC was against politics being discussed on his blog? WN is a political affliation, thus shouldn’t be discussed on his blog.

WN is not a political affiliation.  BTW, I said white racialism and not nationalism.  There is a difference.  Regardless, it is what it is and to most, it is a natural human tendency to gravitate towards one ethny.  There is nothing political about it except for the fact that it is smeared as such by the MSM. 

Now, GC talks up all sorts of things including racial reality and IQ differences.  They love to hammer home the ignorant negro stats considering most browns absolutely abhor blacks.  Whites jumping into the fray are welcome as long as there is no mention of white solidarty.  This is hypocrisy and knowing that GC has more than two neurons to rub together, he willfully is lying about where to draw this comfortable line of his.

You must realise that they also take the piss out of [insert ethnicity] nationalists of any kind, and especially left wingers, yet you don’t seem to complain that they’re being unfair to said groups.

I’ve never attempted to refute this nor do I have an issue where they blog or comment about such things.  The issue is their rightful fear of white racialism.  He, they are threatened by this and it can be glossed by the quotes “GNXP stinks” has above.

They state all sorts of facts about racial reality, ethnic genetic interests, social identity theory and the like.  All comes to a screeching halt when a white decides to interject some white racialism.

How about a comment on the birth rates and how whites are not a dying race?  Was that an unfounded assumption?

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 04:06 PM | #


I admit me stating that white fertility rates are more than 2.1 was based on a faulty study, soz. But that doesn’t mean whites are dying out. If whites only numbered 10 million in the whole world then yeah, we would be dying out. But we number waaaay more than that.

I always thought WN, or at least the mainstream WN mission (which is basically white seperatism) was a political affliation because of it’s desire to create a white ethnostate? That’s very political. I am aware that people tend to gravitate to their own kind, but that doesn’t always conflict with political ideology. You could be a white liberal and still want to live near whites, unless they were conservative Biblebelt whites I guess, but you see what I mean.

What proof do you have to back up the statement “most browns absolutely abhor blacks”? What on Earth do you mean by brown? Suntanned Greeks? Indonesians? Dravidians? That’s an unfounded assumption if I ever saw one.

I’ve seen debates on GNXP come to screeching halts when an angry left-winger insults everyone, at least until the accused was banned. It’s not just WNs who mess up things.

GNXP sucks, I don’t think Razib looks like the ‘majority’ of Indians at all. Indians looking similar to whites (or at least Iranians) are by no means a blip, for they number millions and millions in Northwest India.

Posted by Yarus on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 04:31 PM | #


But that doesn’t mean whites are dying out. If whites only numbered 10 million in the whole world then yeah, we would be dying out. But we number waaaay more than that.

When fertility is below 2 and on average whites are around the 1.5 mark, globally, that means over time they will die out or become assimilated, genocided, or miscegenated into something else.  It does not necessarily have to mean TOMORROW whites will die out, but it does mean that if things continue as is, then that will be the end result.

I always thought WN, or at least the mainstream WN mission (which is basically white seperatism) was a political affliation because of it’s desire to create a white ethnostate? That’s very political.

Says f**king who?  Are brown ethnostates political?  Black? Yellow? No, they are not because that is the natural order of things.  Whites have a white continent and white nations.  This was never an issue prior to 4 or so decades ago.  In actuality, it was harped on before that, however the 60’s was the beginning of this egalitarian nightmare. 

What proof do you have to back up the statement “most browns absolutely abhor blacks”? What on Earth do you mean by brown?

Brown is how Browns refer themselves to each other.  Razib does it regularly, though all do it or at least the ones who speak English.  I truly hope you are not going to trot out, “but it’s a slur” tripe.  If they refer to themselves as Brown, then so will I.  Same goes for Blacks and the word Negro or nigger.  Once they stop, then so will I.  We cannot live with double standards now can we?

As to them hating Blacks, jeez, simply read how they froth when Blacks are mentioned on GNXP.  Also, over the last 20 years, I have known, in varying degrees, at least several thousand Browns.  To a man, they hate Blacks and view them as inferior, slovenly, violent and crime prone.  I do not think this was selection bias on my part. 

I’ve seen debates on GNXP come to screeching halts when an angry left-winger insults everyone, at least until the accused was banned. It’s not just WNs who mess up things.

Again, this is a non sequitur.  When they berate left wingers, they do so with facts and throw the liberal fallacies back in their faces.  That is not what happens with WNs as you well know if you frequent the sight as much as you say you do.

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 05:41 PM | #


Actually alot of the stuff WNs have said on GNXP aren’t very scientific, i.e. “East Asians are definately less creative”, “whites have ALWAYS been on top” and “no non-white state can sustain Western civilization and culture when we die out”.

By the way, just because fertility rates are slightly below 2.1 doesn’t mean we are in danger of extinction. We aren’t an endangered species, as so many paranoid WNs claim.

Speaking of white nationalism, sorry, it IS political in today’s political climate. Preferring people similar to one’s self just involves moving to a certain area, not voting for a certain party/candidate. White nationalism, at least the common definition of it, involves trying to create a white ethnostate, and that is undeniably political. I know it wasn’t 60 years ago and beyond, but that’s irrelevant.

You still haven’t clarified what particular ethnicity you mention when you say “brown”.

I never saw that when I frequented the site some time back.  All WN discussion was quite scientific and fact based.  Now, if they allow some not-so-read-up WNs to make asses of themselves in order for them to point their brown fingers and say “see how stupid they are”, then that is a problem of theirs and not WNs.  In my opinion of course. 

just because fertility rates are slightly below 2.1 doesn’t mean we are in danger of extinction. We aren’t an endangered species, as so many paranoid WNs claim.

Again, you are placing unfounded solace in the “just under 2.1” assertion and that an extinction will be in some distant future, “if ever”.  All White nations are under the replacement level.  Some hover around the 1 mark, meaning that their population will halve in a generation.  To me, that is quite drastic.  If it continues, Whites will cease to exist.  Not if, but when.  Also, 1.5 is not “just under” 2.1.  Two is just under 2.1.

Speaking of white nationalism, sorry, it IS political in today’s political climate.

So in that case, since you are so adamant, when are you going to start clamouring for diversification of Black, Brown, and Yellow lands?  You CANNOT have it both ways.  Either these other ethnostates are natural, then so are we or they are political.  Let me know how they take your “political” view towards their homelands.  As for me, I view it as being NORMAL without the need for this WN designation.  The designation is not something WE wanted but was foisted onto our shoulders in order to slur normal behaviour of Whites.

You still haven’t clarified what particular ethnicity you mention when you say “brown”.

South Asians are Brown as the most common reference.  Some (?many) in the US refer to Mexicans as brown as well.  I’m more “old school” and maintain that South Asians are the true browns.

Gee, Yarus, if a WN makes a more intelligent answer - one the GNXPers can’t answer - then they just delete the comment and ban the commentator. 

Why is this:
“I would be offended if, for example, Italians claimed those of Irish/English descent were to blame for people of Italians getting skin cancer more than usual, and thus should be prevented from associating with people in Italy”
a strawman argument?

Because, brainless,
1) where is the data showing a high correlation between increased Italian skin cancer and Irish/English population concentrations?

There are no such data, because that is just some idiotic example that popped into what passes for your “brain.” On the other hand, James has shown that the top correlation for Finnish autism is Indians.  He has DATA.  You have nothing except your drool on your computer keyboard.

2. What mechanism to you propose, pray tell?  Irish/English people shooting UV rays at Italians?  There have been two, in my opinion, reasonable hypotheses here (intestinal flora, amygdala) to explain James’ correlation. 

The differences between your “example” and James’ *real* correlation should be obvious to anyone with a triple-digit IQ, which you obviously lack.

I have already explained why the range of appearance in South Asia is irrelevant, as long as the bulk of the range is way outside the norms of other groups.  By “white”, I mean European, not Iranians.  Most South Asians that most here encounter in the USA are of the Razib type. 

The question of autism though is secondary to me.  The main issue is GNXP’s hypocrisy and your mendacity.

Their site is obviously political; blacks can be critically examined, but not Asians (by whites) - the whole context of the site, politically speaking, is “to make sure America is kept safe for high-IQ recent non-white Immigrants.”

Your own arguments are illogical and absurd.  Do you need a definition of “brown?”

Look at the picture of Razib - but don’t show it to a young white child; you may induce autism.

The main problem - giving too much attention to the over-rated GNXP site.  That site’s only utlility (which is shared by Sailer and Pontikos) is to point the reader in the direction of the original source material (manuscripts, books, essays, editorials, studies, etc.).  The actual commentary on the site falls into one of three categories:
1) pursuit of the interests of GC and Razib
2) regurgitation of original source material, often with a “spin” relevant to point 1
3) childish, juvenile, vulgar stupidity (e.g., “Britney’s crack").

I could add a fourth category, which is a fusion of 1 and 3, as demonstrated by the following wonderfully scientific, non-political, and non-offensive excerpt -

Razib of Gene Expression:
“…Vincent is a known drunk, a vice that Finns are all too familiar with. Raised by non-Suomi parents Vincent’s genotype was subject to a different norm of reaction than might be have been the case in Finland. With its suffocatingly introverted and maladjusted culture Vincent might have flourished as a withdrawn curiosity. As it is, in the glamor seeking non-Suomi cultural milieu of the United States he withered under a harsh glare which evolution in the cool northern climes did not prepare him for…”

Indeed, one assumes that an arrogant Bengali is better suited for this “harsh glare” than is the “withdrawn northern drunk” Vincent.

My only criticism of James here is that he shouldn’t waste his time commenting on GNXP.  Who is there?  Self-serving South Asians, servile whites, and idiots like Yarus.

Watching paint dry would be a more productive activity.

I don’t think GC argued against white nationalism on bad faith....

But arguments against the legitimacy of self-defense can ONLY be offered in good faith. 

White nationalism is nothing more than an attempt to form a cohesive group of whites to defend themselves against the aggression of other races and, thus, to secure a future for themselves.

Posted by ben tillman on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 08:27 PM | #


Yarus, you seem to be confused about WNism.  Your confusion is shared by many WNs, unfortunately.

White Nationalism is the white flavor of racial nationalism.  Racial Nationalism is the idea that racial groups are the best basis for political groups.  Jewry is the best example of this.  Diaspora jewry has never been much into separatism, but it has displayed Racial Nationalism, in fact it’s pretty much the model.

Yes, most WNs are also separatists, but on the other hand most would be pleased with a race-as-nation mentality sweeping the white race, even if it never led to separatist states.

Thanks to MR (GW) I’ve come to the conclusion that WNism is actually an unneccesary construct, at least in present company (it’s also a redundancy, a reflection of the absurdity of the western Zeitgeist, in the etymological sense in particular).

WNism is not politics.  It’s Ethnic Genetic Interests.  It’s nature.  That we have to call it anything is a reflection of the geek show western public life has become.

Svi, the notion you ascribe to me actually came from another.

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 09:54 PM | #


I never saw that when I frequented the site some time back

Well I saw quite a bit of it, infact every single WN I saw posting had to try and make whites seem superior in almost everysingle way.

So in that case, since you are so adamant, when are you going to start clamouring for diversification of Black, Brown, and Yellow lands?

Strawman again…

I’m just saying in the Western world, white nationalism happens to be viewed as far rightist by most. It wasn’t far rightist in say 1750, and ethnic nationalism isn’t particularly rightist in Japan, although there are quite a few political groups in there who wish to ease immigration laws.

South Asians are Brown as the most common reference

Not from where I’m from they aren’t. Besides, it’s too vague a term. People that have whitish skin are pretty homogenous, as are those with yellowish skin, but brown skinned people are extremely diverse.

Gee, Yarus, if a WN makes a more intelligent answer - one the GNXPers can’t answer - then they just delete the comment and ban the commentator.

Perhaps they shouldn’t have let on that they’re WNs then?!

There are no such data, because that is just some idiotic example that popped into what passes for your “brain.” On the other hand, James has shown that the top correlation for Finnish autism is Indians.  He has DATA.

Why is the data valid? Has he not tried other ethnicities? Has he not tried other factors apart from people? Come to think of it, we’re just taking his word that he’s found the correllation.

What I’m saying is that if a correllation WAS found between Irishmen and skin cancer rates in Italians, it would be foolish to immediately suggest we both sever contact between the two people and try to find out why the Irish are toxic. Maybe the Italian (who hates the Irish for whatever reason, i.e. gingerphobia) would hypothesise that Italians react to a pheremone given off by the Irish or something that makes Italians more susceptible to skin cancer.

That was a hypothesis, but a similar thing has happened in real life. James has found a correllation between autism in Finns and Indian immigrants, and hasn’t done much investigation into any other factors, including other ethnicities, pollutants, computer usage, cars et bloody cetera. As I keep fookin’ saying, he should’ve went about his claims in reverse order which wouldn’t of revealed him as a white nationalist. I’ve already bloody addressed this. Why doesn’t anyone understand?! Perhaps I’m not the only one with drool on the keyboard, sheesh…

By “white”, I mean European, not Iranians.  Most South Asians that most here encounter in the USA are of the Razib type.

Maybe in your neck of the woods, but the majority of Indians I’ve seen, such as at the hospital, are enormously variable in phenotype. They range from short, dark Dravidians to big, thin nosed paleish Northern types.

Millions and millions and millions of Indians look rather similar to Iranians, i.e. in the Northwest. I don’t understand why you aren’t suggesting we sever contact from Iranians as well.

Their site is obviously political; blacks can be critically examined, but not Asians (by whites)

Not really. I’ve seen GC commenting on being agnostic over the supposed “creativity deficit” in East Asians, for example.

“...[Razib dissing teh Finns]...”

I agree, that’s hypocritical and unfair of him to say that, I’m not denying that. I’m just saying it’s stupid to complain about being banned for being a WN if that’s in the bloody rules!! I don’t care if the bloggers are being hypocritical, even though it’s annoying, rules are there to be followed.

I already suggested a solution to the problem, i.e. create a politically neutral protest site or something along those lines. It isn’t going to help anything by creating whiney articles guessing the supposed caste of the guy who banned you.

Look at the picture of Razib - but don’t show it to a young white child; you may induce autism.

blank stare Listen to yourself.

3) childish, juvenile, vulgar stupidity (e.g., “Britney’s crack").

As a teenager, I don’t find that especially repugnant. It might change as I grow older, although I would like to retain at least a bit of juvenility.

Svyatoslav, thank you for clarifying the definition of white nationalism for me, I am grateful. I guess nationalism doesn’t neccessarily mean major action, i.e. separation of territory or “kill teh mudz!!1”.

However, “sticking to one’s own kind” WN is different from the kind seen at GNXP, which is overwhelmingly “creation of a white ethnostate” WN. Even so, just because you are racially aware, white or non-white, it shouldn’t affect the scientific discussion. I think that’s what GNXP is trying to do: create a science only atmosphere.

However, I do agree it’s naughty of them to make fun of political groups if they’re forbidding political discussion or just discussion that seems to reveal an obvious political agenda.

Maybe they could create a seperate politics-friendly blog/forum? That could make things less confusing.

They are ideologues, and their ideology is designed to atomize whites.  As ideologues, they do not tolerate discussion of the scientific principles that are at odds with their ideology.  They are not scientists.  :isten to GC’s words:

But America is my home.  You will not forcibly expropriate my property, nor deport me from the land of my birth.

Science says GC can’t have property in America (property is a moral concept, and he is not part of the American moral community) and that we should deport him.  To conceal these facts he must engage in obscurantism.

Well I saw quite a bit of it, infact every single WN I saw posting had to try and make whites seem superior in almost everysingle way.

I highly doubt that.  In fact, I would venture to guess it may have been the minority UNLESS they happened to taper the WN commenting pool to simple, poorly read types.

Strawman again…

I’m just saying in the Western world, white nationalism happens to be viewed as far rightist by most. It wasn’t far rightist in say 1750, and ethnic nationalism isn’t particularly rightist in Japan, although there are quite a few political groups in there who wish to ease immigration laws.

It most certainly is NOT a strawman to expect equal treatment of all races on this planet, is it?  No, it is not.  You do not have much of an issue in the regard that Whites and white nations are treated not only unfairly, but also racially discriminated against.  What I said was if whites who proffer for a white (read genetically normal) ethnostate are viewed as “political”, then so should China, India, most if not all of Africa.  What’s strawmanish about that? 

Also, finding healthy white nationalism, again read as NORMAL, one need to go back to the late 60s and early 70s, not 1750.  After that is when it was somehow viewed ABnormal when whites were acting normal.

Not from where I’m from they aren’t. Besides, it’s too vague a term. People that have whitish skin are pretty homogenous, as are those with yellowish skin, but brown skinned people are extremely diverse.

Then I suggest you take up this issue with all South Asians who refer to each other as Brown.  There are a tremendous lot of them so you have your work cut out.  They don’t seem to mind nor do they view it as a slight.  Why all the fuss?  This NON-issue about Browns reminds me of a feminist blog I was reading a few days back.  This one feminist made such an issue about MIT not necessarily being the sole meme acronym for Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  She insisted that many people when using MIT mean Michigan Inst of Tech.  LOL Yeah, there may be a Michigan MIT (though no one has really heard about it), just like Brown may mean other groups.  Though the difference is South Asians refer to themselves as Browns.  Do Mexicans or anyone else for that matter?  No. 

In your neck of the woods, who is “brown”?  Just out of curiosity.

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 10:50 PM | #


More GC words and some strawmen too…

Concerning Japan, China, etc:

I think that Japan & China would be served by opening their borders to accept intelligent immigrants, but I don’t think that’ll happen in the near future. I think they have every right to preserve their culture, just like I think Europe does. France isn’t France without the French, just like Japan isn’t Japan without the Japanese.

Now, where you and I probably differ is on the question of the United States. While the US is a historically Anglo-Saxon nation, most would not question the immigration of Germans, Italians, or Irish at this point, because of their high rates of intermarriage. If you look at the Census Data, Jews, East Asians, and South Asians all have very high intermarriage rates. I’d be interested in stats of the intermarriage rates of earlier European populations, but I bet that rates hovering around 50% for Jews and South Asians (and high 30’s for East Asians, IIRC) are probably competitive.

You might think that this is a necessarily bad thing, which I can understand - many people have a reflexive aversion to interracial marriage. But in my experience, the smartest whites tend to be the ones most likely to marry outside their groups, and locales like Silicon Valley, Route 128, the NC Research Triangle, etc. where intermarriage rates are highest do not have high rates of ethnic tension. It is my opinion that after matching for high IQ, the differences between groups *can be* mainly cosmetic. Of course, given all the wars between European and Asian states, matching for high IQ is no guarantee of comity. That said, the converse is the point I’m driving at - IQ differences guarantee ethnic tension, as shown in Chua’s World on Fire.

IMO, the benefit to the US population from a policy of skilled immigration - boost to national security from brain draining other countries + boost to our economy by having the world’s best researchers - is not easily dismissed. If you take a look at the composition of our elite research universities, particularly in the sciences, you will see that American-born males of white ancestry are vastly underrepresented relative to their proportion of the population. One can attribute this to many things, but I’d bet that this is roughly due to IQ reasons. Which is not to say that American born whites are dumb, or anything… The thing is, the best students from Eastern Europe, East Asia, and South Asia will generally be better than most American born whites. This is a numbers game - there are only 300 million Americans, of which maybe 225 million are white. Many more people in the rest of the world from which to cull geniuses…

In any case, my point is this - do we really want to cede our overwhelming lead in science and engineering by excluding Russian Jews like Andrew Grove, South Asians like Krishna Shenoy, and East Asians like Steve Chu from immigrating, if these are tax-paying, high IQ, law-abiding, wealth generating residents? Note that these three immigrant groups earn more than whites, have higher SATs, higher familial cohesion, higher rates of education, etcetera. If you want America to be strong, a policy of excluding this troika does not make sense to me, particularly if these groups assimilate at rates comparable to earlier European groups.

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 10:54 PM | #


I thought they’re quite atomized inviduals themselves. I’ve seen them saying that they don’t think that much about their ancestry.

As I keep saying, I don’t think they should voice political opinions on the science blog they have, and that they should create a separate semi-political/science blog for that.

I thought they didn’t tolerate discussion that is obviously politically motivated?

Please explain why science says GC should be deported.

EC, I’ve seen stupid hyper-biased comments made by WNs from very early on in GNXP’s history, when they were more welcome. Skepticism was non existent; trying to prove whites as superior in most respects was very common.

You were implying I am acting to diversify white nations, i.e. that I’m a multiculturist. That was the strawman. That’s not true, to an extent (I wouldn’t mind smallish intelligent groups that assimilated properly). I’m not a WN because I belive low IQ white chavs pose a big threat in my country, the UK.

I’ve never heard of Indians or Pakistanis calling each other “browns” around where I live.

I’ve already stated that I don’t appreciate GC or anyone else expressing political views in a science blog, there’s no need to quote an example.

Exactly.  And that is the case for the US and in only the very liberal parts of the US.  The numbers for conservative or orthodox sure doesn’t reach 20%.  I doubt, though have no hard evidence, that the total intermarrying rate for all Jews in the US is as high as 20%.  Jews in other countries intermarry at an even lower rate.  However, it does not keep them from trotting out that old, tired, and obviously false stat.

Posted by EC on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 11:09 PM | #


It’s relevant because they seem to be atomizing people indiscriminantly as apposed to just whites, which is what you claim.

Why does science forbid GC from living in the US?!

Posted by Yarus on Saturday, June 10, 2006 at 11:15 PM | #


Yarus, if you’ve been reading GNXP for some time now, including “early in its history”, then surely you have read Razib refer to South Asians as Browns.  No?

The quote from GC was not directed at you.  I found it interesting.

What are “chavs”?  Some derogatory term for unwashed whites?  Do you refer to blacks as niggers?  Of course only the “low IQ” ones, that is.  What you fail to realize is that whatever threat low IQ whites pose is miniscule to what low IQ non-whites pose.  No one, unless one happens to feverishly work on some extreme forward looking genetic/mate selecting process, remains “high IQ”.  The chances to regress to the norm are astronomical.  Hence, your high IQ non-whites become average IQ non-whites with their own interests to look after and not yours.

“just because fertility rates are slightly below 2.1 doesn’t mean we are in danger of extinction.” (—from a comment)

Demographers are wrong to use the term “fertility rate” to mean “birth rate”:  the two aren’t in principle interchangeable and furthermore, using them as though they were—which, as everyone knows, demographers have been doing since the late 1800s—can lead to the confusion of imagining there’s something wrong with the fertility of reproductive-age women who have fewer or no children.  There isn’t.  A woman’s fertility is her biological ability to get pregnant and does not refer to her decisions about pregnancy or to circumstances extrinsic to herself which may keep her from getting pregnant.  A convent full of reproductive-age Catholic nuns will have a zero birth rate or a very low one but not zero or very low fertility.  The nuns’ fertility—their biological ability to get pregnant—will be no different from the general population of reproductive-age women (give or take small differences that may be correlated with, for example, the personality types that are drawn to life in a convent, and so on).  If a woman has low fertility her doctor will run tests to find out why.  No well-meaning doctor goes to the director of a Catholic convent and tells her the nuns within need to undergo tests to find out why they have low fertility, on grounds they aren’t having babies.  The reason is they don’t have low fertility, which is a medical problem, but, collectively, a low birth rate:  two completely different things.  Jewish women have long had low birth rates while Hasidic Jewish women have traditionally had high ones.  That doesn’t mean Jewish women need to go the the doctor to find out why they’re infertile compared to Hasidic women:  they’re not infertile compared to them, though referring to their lower number of children as their “lower fertility rate” instead of as their “lower birth rate” leads to confusion in the minds of surprisingly many:  “What’s wrong with Jewish women that they’re less fertile?  Did they have infections that caused scarring of their fallopian tubes?  Are their female hormonal systems deficient?” They’re not less fertile.  They’re just as fertile but have lower birth rates (not lower fertility rates).  To call low German birth rates “low fertility rates” makes lots of people—including, amazingly enough, politicians, journalists, even a number of intellectuals and academics, not to mention ordinary folk who hear these things repeated on TV and read them in the papers—imagine there’s been some sort of drop in German womens’ biological ability to get pregnant and the population numbers can only be made up by importing Turks since German girls can no longer do it.  If they understood that there’s nothing wrong with German women’s reproductive-age fertility—with their biological ability to get pregnant—they’d see that they don’t have to make up German population numbers by importing alien women but must simply implement policies that will make German couples start to have babies or more of them.

The reason “fertillity rate” to refer to what is properly called “birth rate” came into use over a century ago among demographers is probably complicated, but it happens to be a wrong coinage or usage, and this is the case completely apart from current questions of low Euro birth rates and the politics of race-replacement:  it’s wrong usage totally apart from any of that, and needs to be abandoned for reasons having nothing to do with that.  That said, the fact remains that it’s a wrong usage that indirectly strengthens the position of the race-replacers, making their job a little easier for them, by implying there’s been a decrease in Euro womens’ biological fertility, and I for one would strongly recommend that anyone sharing MR.com’s outlook on these matters strictly avoid use of “fertility rate” when “birth rate” is meant.  “Fertility rate” is a wrong usage whose abandonment is long overdue.

However, “sticking to one’s own kind” WN is different from the kind seen at GNXP, which is overwhelmingly “creation of a white ethnostate” WN.

As EC said, it doesn’t make much sense to extrapolate WNism from WNs after they’re filtered by anti-WNs.  In fact that doesn’t make any sense at all.

I’ve been skimming over posts, so forgive me if I’ve missed it; have any of your hither-and-yon acrobatics in defense of GNXP involved acknowledging the fact that GC and Razib are liars?

You’re correct that most WNs are also white separatists, but that doesn’t change what WNism is and isn’t.  WNism is EGI as politics.  The 14 words are another way of expressing that.  The 14 words say nothing of borders, or states, or ideologies, or governments, or laws.  They state an interest, a goal.  The separatist desires of most WNs are a means to that end.

What are “chavs”?  Some derogatory term for unwashed whites?  Do you refer to blacks as niggers?  Of course only the “low IQ” ones, that is.

In the UK, for whatever reason the underclass of the country is predominantly white. These whites have a low average IQ and are called chavs. However, quite alot of Pakistanis seem chavish as well, but the majority of chavs are white.

What I’m getting at is that there are hordes of idiotic underclass whites that inhabit the council estates and rundown tower blocks of the country and make life worse for other citizens. They are more often than not on welfare, causing a drain to society, they commit an awful lot of petty crime, they intimidate people, they lower landvalue and they’re breeding like shabbily dressed rabbits. Rabbits that say “u givin it, lark?” alot.

It’s my belief that a dysgenic trend has been affecting certain populations in the UK, thus turning them into chavs. These people are breeding much faster than normal white types. This means they may well bring down the average white UK IQ down quite considerably if nothing’s done.

Now considering people tend to prefer their own ilk, it would be much easier for this low IQ white group to bring down the mean IQ of all white Britons than for a non-white low IQ population. Thus, the risk isn’t miniscule at all. I know this isn’t happening in the US for some reason, but try to use a little imagination. Search for the term “chav”, if you must.

I didn’t mention “high IQ non-whites”. Well done, Captain Strawman! rolleyes

Fred, cheers for correcting me. I’ll use the term birthrates in the future.

The reason I’m not a WN is because the main WN political group, the BNP, doesn’t accept that low-IQ white chavs pose a great threat to the country, and that isn’t on.

Yarus,

It’s my belief that a dysgenic trend has been affecting certain populations in the UK, thus turning them into chavs.

Very good.  One of the first correct things you’ve said today.  Though this dysgenic trend is also wreaking havoc on native Brits as well.

Then you state this…

I didn’t mention “high IQ non-whites”. Well done, Captain Strawman!

after you state this…

I wouldn’t mind smallish intelligent groups that assimilated properly

You need to keep track of just who you prefer to let into your country.  Just who are these “smallish intelligent groups that assimilate”, yet aren’t “high IQ non-whites”?  Are they other Europeans you refer to?  If so, that would be a breath of fresh air after your day long fawn fest of the Browns over at GNXP.  You’ll have to forgive me for jumping to those conclusions.

I meant both non-native white or non-native non-white small intelligent groups. Thus, your argument is a strawman. I would rather have a small, high-IQ, Zoroastrian Iranian group let into the country than a bunch of criminal-prone idiots from the Ukraine.

I’m not saying Ukranians are known for being criminal prone idiots, by the way… >_<

I meant that a dysgenic trend is affecting certain groups of whites, thus making them low-IQ. This in turn could negatively affect the entire white population of the country. The same thing has happened with the Pakistani population. The rise of white chavdom in the UK has nothing to do with immigrants or non-whites.

Posted by Yarus on Sunday, June 11, 2006 at 12:27 AM | #


GC is a pathogen?!? What the Christ…

This points up the shortcomings of the “science” proffered by advocates of atomisation.  Yes, GC is quite literally a pathogen.  Surely, you understand what a pathogen is; I suspect the problem is that you don’t know what an organism is.

What is this organism he’s trying to kill? The US? Whites? East Asians?

You have conceded that they are proponents of atomisation.  As such, they attempt to kill (disorganise) every organismic human group consisting of more than one white.  Read David Sloan Wilson.

This is hardly a scientific reason.

The value of an immune system to an organism is hardly a point of scientific controversy.  The problem is that your understanding of biology is limited, partly (one presumes) because of GNXP’s biases.

Yarus:  you, the Queen, Tony Blair, and the U.K. white chavs are in breeding equilibrium with one another, the result being the perpetuation of the collection of folk we know as the British races.  You’re not going to somehow selectively get rid of the white chavs by having non-white immigration whether the non-white immigration be intended to replace the white Brits at the top or the white chavs or the white the folk in the middle.  You’ll simply have mixed-race or different-race chavs and your own progeny too, Yarus, will be mixed race.  Is that what you want your progeny to be?  Is that what you want Britain to be?  If it does happen to be what you want for Britain don’t you think it’s a big enough change to warrant putting the question before the public in a clearly-worded binding referendum first, to let them put their two cents in as well?

“it would be much easier for this low IQ white group[, the British chavs,] to bring down the mean IQ of all white Britons than for a non-white low IQ population. Thus, the risk isn’t miniscule at all.”

Whatever influence chav breeding rates have on the mean IQ of white Britons will be temporary.  These things flucutate in response to transient pressures of various kinds, while the race remains the race with its genetic capital.  Let non-whites flood into the U.K. and the race and its genetic capital won’t remain.  Far better your own race’s chavs than some non-white race’s chav class, middle class, or upper class coming in in inappropriate numbers.

Hey, EC, if you haven’t noticed I have been critical of GNXPers numerous times on this page. All that straw seems to be obscuring your vision.

Ben,

I think the David Lee Roth Fanclub consists of more than one white person, and it is a social organism. Is GC trying to disband them?

I’m not ignorant of biology, but you seem to be ignorant of correct terminology. What you are going on about is in the realms of sociology.

Fred, nowhere did I suggest flooding the UK with non-natives.

This isn’t as simple as a small fluctuation; I don’t think a dysgenic trend has affected a UK population in such a huge way since, well, ever. It may permanently lower the average IQ of UK residents (more specifically white UK residents, seeing as people tend to intermarry within ethnic groups).
