HIV in Britain “is black and it is gay”

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 September 2005 21:49.

AIDS hasn’t been much in domestic news in Britain for many years.  So you could be forgiven for being a bit surprised by the British government’s new advertising campaign warning of a heterosexual AIDS epidemic?

Celebrities including LL Cool J, Christina Aguilera and Ashley Judd are photographed with their hands clasped over their ears or with their mouths sealed with masking tape.  Below, the relevant bit of the age-old adage is spelt out - Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil - and a reminder about Aids.

The message is clear: when it comes to sex and HIV, we are not listening.  It is the first sally in what will become the most high-profile sex education campaign seen in Britain for many years, including a £50m advertising blitz

Of course, this isn’t the first such campaign.  Back in the 1980’s when the awful shock of AIDs burst upon public consciousness we were treated to a particularly graphic and memorable one.  Falling tombstones, if you recall.  You might also recall that the Tory government of the day was bullied by the homosexual lobby into targeting the campaign at heterosexuals when they all knew who the high-risk minority really was.  It was a spectacularly wrong decision which could have cost many homosexual men their lives.

At least the Tories had to be forced to do the progressive thing.  Labour needs no such encouragment, no bullying to prevent knowledge of the high-risk minority being passed to the population at large.

Wrong welcome

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 September 2005 10:31.

The post below, concerning Mr Lahn’s new thesis, is a first offering by Søren Renner.  Alas, I logged him on our members list complete with the Danish slashed “o”, which our software couldn’t accomodate (in blue type, not black!).  All efforts to correct it have so far proved fruitless.

So would you please bear in mind that Søren’s first post, made inglorious by EE’s non-mastery of Danish and my non-mastery of EE, is indeed this one.

Apologies to Søren.  From here on it will have to be slashless o’s in blue.


A huge evergrowing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of The Ultraworld

So the cat that Gregory Cochran hinted at on Monday has been debagged (see here and here).

Cochran says that “genomics will do to leftism what Darwinism did to Christianity”.  These papers have already provoked a response from the race-deniers.  Professors are quoted as pointing out that the ASPM and microcephalin haplotypes at issue may have been targets of selection because of fitness effects having nothing to do with IQ, or even the brain.  Which is possible.  It has been said that even though these haplotypes are common outside sub-Saharan Africa and rare inside it, that black Africans might have other genes exerting other effects which could compensate for the missing haplotypes.  This argument is valid and if, in fact, there were no differences in IQ between populations, but an allele influencing IQ was more common in one population, it would even be a relevant argument.  It is all casuistry, of course, designed to refute (without explicitly raising) the plausible interpretation - namely that these haplotypes do influence cognition, that they do raise IQ, that one of them may have been hybridized in from a non-African-origin population (the other arose too recently) and, worst of all, that their scarcity in modern Africa may result from weaker selective pressure for higher IQ in Africa than in the diaspora.

Let them try to refute that idea: but let it be explicitly raised.  That will be enough.


The Minds and the Bloods

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 September 2005 00:13.

Few MR readers will argue with the proposition that there is a seemingly irreparable fissure running through the politics of the right.  As I see it, it is demarcated by the lack of sympathy which those who answer to their intellects feel towards those who answer to their sense of kin.  Of course, I am leaving out all those whose attitudes and opinions are merely received.  Unless or until they free themselves they are just the prisoners of liberal thinking.  But the others –  those capable of independent thought and those who have “woken up” -  are all people of interest to me.  I want to understand them better than I do.

In particular, I want to understand the thinkers and why it is they can obviously see issues of race, demography, difference, culture war etc ... yet they hold firmly to the conviction that primacy rests with the individual over the group and with ideas over the ties of blood.  Why?  Is it intellectual pride that causes them to spurn the principle of kinship?  But then I firmly believe that mainstream Conservative thinkers in past times did not spurn kinship but, on the contrary, respected it and even strove to serve – or conserve - it.

On England and a bookshelf in Petrockstowe

Posted by Guessedworker on Thursday, 08 September 2005 03:54.

The English climate, being what it is, commends the written word to all but the hardiest or most square-eyed holidaymaker.  Being neither I hope, and having spent a few days footloose with my family in the folds of the North Devon countryside, I, too, have been reading a good deal of late.

Of course, we had travelled west well equipped for the conditions.  Three weighty tomes, in my case - two historical, one political.  But in the event I was charmed instead by the double row of titles supplied for his rained-in clientele by the owner of the farmhouse we had rented.

For anyone remotely interested in ideas another person’s choice of reading has the potential for some fascination.  I am not a voracious reader myself but I respect those that are … at least, the ones who read something of substance.  Without fail, when I go into a home where books are important I will find a chance to survey the titles.  A picture speaks a thousand words, they say, and a bathroom cabinet probably ten thousand.  But a bookshelf is much, much more illuminating.

Leaving New Zealand

Posted by Guest Blogger on Saturday, 03 September 2005 13:20.

We don’t get to hear much about New Zealand, so I was interested to read a newspaper report today on the general situation there (not online).

The news, as you might expect, isn’t good. The European population under the age of 40 is actually falling in number, due partly to low fertility but also because of migration to other countries, particularly Australia. If trends continue, the remnant European population will join Maoris, Pacific Islanders and Asians as a minority group.

Death of a school

Posted by Guest Blogger on Thursday, 01 September 2005 12:29.

Ten years ago Moreland City College in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg had an enrolment of over 1000 students. Last year numbers had fallen to 270 and the school was closed.

Why? It seems that multiculturalism didn’t work in this Coburg school. A group of highly disruptive students gave the school a bad reputation from which it never recovered. And there is now evidence that these disruptive students were Lebanese Muslims who hated Australia and wanted to replace it with an Islamic state.

A former teacher, Chris Doig, tried to raise the alarm when some of his students danced with joy after the September 11 attacks. His concerns were ignored by authorities. Mr Doig said of these Lebanese students that “Some of the disruptive ones would say that Australia was degenerate and our legal system would be replaced by Shariah law in the not too distant future.”

He also said of the disgruntled students that “Some of these were so disruptive and even violent that staff and other students abandoned the school when they could.”

Nor is Mr Doig a lone voice. Two other teachers have supported his claims. One of these says that the disruptive students used to boast that Australia would become a majority Islamic country in 50 years. “They would do this by converting the infidel and by out-breeding the rest of the community.”


Follow Australia? - maybe not

Posted by Guest Blogger on Saturday, 27 August 2005 08:40.

John Ray recently complained that America isn’t allowing in enough skilled migrants. He believes that the US should follow Australia’s lead and bring in more Indian and Chinese computer programmers and engineers.

What John didn’t mention was how controversial the skilled migration program actually is in Australia.

The problem is that it’s very difficult to recruit migrants with exactly those skills needed by the Australian economy at a particular time.

The result is that skilled migration often ends up creating a labour surplus in particular fields which is bad for everyone. It makes it harder for local graduates to get jobs, and it means that many highly skilled migrants end up driving taxis in Australia rather than doing good work in their home countries.

As far back as 1996, there were researchers warning of this problem. This, for instance, is a quote from the Business Review Weekly of November 18th 1996,
