I can’t understand what Fred is talking about. 🙂
The Chinese Won’t, Though
March 28, 2014
From the Looming Cloud department: In Taki’s Magazine John Derbyshire quotes Tim Wise, a white guy of positively asphyxiating virtue, to the effect that, what with high birth rates among American non-whites, the country will soon, much to Tim’s satisfaction, be chiefly non-white, at which point the knives will come out. The threat is clear:
Wise: “In the pantheon of American history, conservative old white people have pretty much always been the bad guys, the keepers of the hegemonic and reactionary flame….It’s OK. Because in about forty years, half the country will be black or brown. And there is nothing you can do about it.…We just have to be patient. And wait for you to pass into that good night, first politically, and then, well.…”
He makes clear, though unconvincingly—he is worth reading—that the whites whose political demise he wishes are only those ol’ racist, conservative, etc. Not good whites, like Tim. See, once a dark majority is in place, all right-thinking whites, such as Tim, will live in harmony with the new rulers, who will be without racial hostility toward the pale minority. He is crazy as a bedbug in a moonshine jar. Races with little in common do not hold hands and sing Kum Bah Yah, however much we may wish it.
Now, the racial threat to whites is perhaps not quite so dire as Tim hopes. In particular, an alliance of Latinos and blacks against whites is very far from certain. I live in Mexico, and know Mexicans as friendly and courteous folk who run a functioning upper-Third World country with airlines, internet, telecommunications and all the trinkets of modernity. Switzerland it isn’t, but neither is it Detroit. My eleven years here have been 99.9% free of racial hostility. There is today little love between blacks and browns in America and, to the extent that Latinos rise economically, they will very likely align themselves with the other successful groups.
But a broader question, if I may. The well-being of everyone in the United States depends on economic competitiveness, which depends on high levels of trained intelligence. Who has it?
Here a little knowledge is needed to recognize how dependent the country is on the brains of…whites. If you grow up, with minimal education, among cars and television sets, you can come unconsciously to think that, like air, they just exist. Actually they are products of brains. Whose brains? Mr. Wise might reflect on this.
In a perfect world, we would all be brilliant. Yet the world does not seem to be perfect. In practice we all depend on the intelligence of those able to discover, invent, and manage. And that intelligence almost invariably belongs to whites, Indians, and North Asians. I wish it were not so, but it is. I believe in giving to all young the oportunity and encouragement to shine intellectually. But if it doesn’t work? Are we wise to yearn for the dominance of the resentful who can’t, or at any rate haven’t, over those who can and do?
I do not mean to be cruel, but it is worth asking: How many of any age in Detroit can recognize this, from eighth-grade algebra. You know, what pubescent white kids do.
It would be wonderful if black kids flourished mathematically, as it would obviate many problems, but they haven’t and show no signs of ever doing so. I believe that Latin kids can, but they mostly haven’t. That leaves….
How about elementary college material, Tim? When I was a white student in college we could explain s-p hybrid bonding orbitals—freshman chemistry forty years ago for us ofays. How about “The entropy of a closed system tends to remain the same or to increase”? What is that? An excellent exposition is found in Kittel’s Thermal Physics. How many in Newark have read it, or could?
We need people who understand these matters. Are source-drain-gate parts of a kitchen sink or a transistor? What do they do? What is a tracking thermistor? Q = inductive reactance over resistance, XL/R. What are those? Anger at evil white people is good fun, yes, but somebody has to make stuff work.
Pretty much everything that keeps us from squatting in grass huts and crushing lice was invented by, yes, white males. In this I am not being racially arrogant: I am quite aware that the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indians and so on can play this game quite as well as white men. They have begun, and begun most impressively. But these do not spend their time complaining about trials caused by their own incapacities.
Those who can, do. The rest bitch.
But back to my point, that the unlettered do not realize the extent to which they depend on things they have never heard of, that they did not invent and probably couldn’t understand. How many of those whose coming rule you celebrate,Tim, know the purpose of a partial derivative of a function of two variables? Second semester, freshman calculus.
I am just a dumb-ass white gringo in Mexico, but I can grasp elementary math. I do not overrate myself: I know what a partial is, but do not have the talent to be even a fifth-rate mathematician. (I wish I were being charmingly modest, but I’m not.) Yet I have sufficient self-respect to acknowledge my debt to men, uncounted thousands of them, who by being smarter than I am have made life tolerable for me and mine. What do you think of them apples, Tim?
Your angry “people of color” owe everything that lets them complain in comfort to such white men as Shockley (the transistor), Claude Shannon (information theory), Carl Friedrich Gauss (pretty much everything), Boole (Boolean algebra), Newton and Leibniz (calculus, classical mechanics)…and countless other white men they have never heard of either.
We’ve been at ti for a while, Tim. It started with the Greeks, as for example with Euclid’s Postulates. I note that those ancient white men were smart enough to recognize the problem with the Fifth Postulate, opening the door much later to hyperbolic geometry and other neat stuff–you know, Riemann, Lobachevski, Bolyai, guys like that. You do know, right?
You have in all likelihood a high life expectancy, Tim. Why is this, do you suppose? Maybe you believe that when you come down with pneumonia, and it’s cured in a couple of days, your survival is something built into the nature of things. Not really. Much of our life span springs from medical science founded on chemistry and cellular biology discovered by…white men. Many of their recent advances spring from techniques that few have heard of and thus don’t appreciate. Think of RFLP (that’s Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, Tim, as I’ m sure you know but most don’t) and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and magnetic-resonance imaging and…well, you know the kind of thing. From white men.
White men discovered elementary biology. How many in Newark have even heard of, say, endoplasmic reticula, ribosomes, deoxyribonucleic acid, transfer RNA? Degeneracy of the codon alphabet? How many nuclear bases in a codon? In RNA, what pyrimidine in DNA does uracyl replace?
This is just freshman biology, Tim. Real students, which I am not, go on to infinitely more difficult biochem in grad school. They are overwhelmingly white, though disproportionately Asian or Indian. You might think about that.
And you might think about this: The almost infinite number of disciplines that keep most of us fat, dumb, and happy—a condition that is about all most of us can hope for in this life—are products of the intelligence of white men. If others want to play this game, and have the brains, well and good. But in today’s political clime in America, we actually enshrine incapacity as authentic or democratic or of the people or whatever. We dumb down everything for the emotional benefit of the incapable. The whole thrust in America seems to be to lower standards and punish competence and intelligence. And anyone who notices who has them.
As a white male (though of limited talent) I am happy that my species benefits others. But when the country is, as you so ardently hope, in the hands of people who have produced almost nothing, will we really be better off? Any of us? Think Uganda.
This, in the long run, probably in the short run, isn’t going to work. Boom boxes don’t grow on trees, Tim. And they only look simple.
Think about it.
Fucking classic. Frame it and I’ll buy it, ebun do izz raciss.
Exhibit A: South Africa.
Racist whites governed the place and it was easily the most prosperous nation on the continent. Then they abolished apartheid, elected the ANC, and have endured a quarter century of increasing violence, murder, rape and chaos.
Ain’t democracy grand?
Tim wise ,one question .Is he Jewish.?
you really ought to get a load of this psychopath. have a couple of drinks beforehand though–his talks are brutal to listen to unless you’ve gone full retard. i expect him to win the nobel peace prize.
bb, he’s part joo.
I Google Tim Wise ,I knew that son of a bitch was Jewish. and a cultural Marxist .He is also a propagandist for critical race theory which comes out of the Frankfurt School of higher criticism.He is a racist hater of anything white.A modern day Jewish Bolshevik like the kind Stalin let loose on the w
hite population in Russia and they want me to give up my guns.
He also gets a lot of money from Jewish groups and George Soros.The white population in this nation had better wake up.
Just think if we had no weapons.These racist would just do what they did in Russia except in America they are going to use people of color against white population.Count on it .I don’t understand how white people can’t see what’s coming .How.could Whitey be so damn stupid,?
After they get amnesty for 20 million more third world people eventually they will get a majority in house and Senate and vote to do away with the 2 amendment and then they will have justification for taking our guns curiosity of all these people born outside of America.I can see this coming.I promised I would not take the Lord’s name in vain anymore on the internet but I feel like cursing.oh boy ,I better go have a beer and calm down.
This article is spot on, and so is the title, Cuddling With Disaster. Why in heavens name did our leaders decide to embrace the dumbing down of America? Maybe we’ve just been too flush with the wealth of this country, ignoring that that wealth came from effort.
While other parts of the world were hard after a higher standard of living, and “our” jobs, Americans had the reserve currency, a couple future generations to fleece and a printing press. America thinks, or hopes, that we’re going to recover back to the the good days of the past, but we’re going hellbent in the other direction.
The whole thrust in America seems to be to lower standards and punish competence and intelligence -FR
But we also have white conservative Norte American fundamentalists that abhor science, biology and math. How does a paleo-con like Derbyshire reconcile with that?
Great article. Whites did it to themselves. They voted in the “great society”, welfare, affirmative action. They allowed the welfare government eugenics that will make whites a minority within one generation. They’ve allowed the government to create 100 million on welfare. Whites will have extincted themselves, thanks to white guilt and liberal progressives. We’re well on our way to a third world shithole banana republic. Obama is just the beginning of the end. Or the end of what was set in motion after the civil rights movement. Now is the time where whites would move someplace else, take their productivity someplace where it was rewarded, instead of being bled to death by taxes and parasites. But there’s no place left to go. In 100 years, the world will be devoid of white people. Just blacks and Mexicans killing each other for turf and what resources remain. Glad I’ll be dead.
Diversity + Proximity = WAR ..more Detroit ,they said.
http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/another-study-confirms-diversity-proximity-war/
Via The League of Extraordinary Sadists comes another study concluding that diversity is incompatible with a sense of community.
Community psychologists are interested in creating contexts that promote both respect for diversity and sense of community. However, recent theoretical and empirical work has uncovered a community-diversity dialectic wherein the contextual conditions that foster respect for diversity run in opposition to those that foster sense of community. More specifically, within neighborhoods, residential integration provides opportunities for intergroup contact that are necessary to promote respect for diversity but may prevent the formation of dense interpersonal networks that are necessary to promote sense of community. Using agent-based modeling to simulate neighborhoods and neighborhood social network formation, we explore whether the community-diversity dialectic emerges from two principle of relationship formation: homophily and proximity. The model suggests that when people form relationships with similar and nearby others, the contexts that offer opportunities to develop a respect for diversity are different from the contexts that foster a sense of community. Based on these results, we conclude with a discussion of whether it is possible to create neighborhoods that simultaneously foster respect for diversity and sense of community. (spoiler: it isn’t)
diversity is our strength..
Feminists, Socialists, Race-Baiters, Multiculturalists, Environmentalists, and Relativists – the enemies of civilization are endless.
Their policies are schizophrenic, each group is constantly at odds with one-another, and even within their own camps intractable divisions exist: Environmentalists can’t decide whether they’re for or against nuclear power, Multiculturalists demand diversity while promoting mono-cultural Sharia Law, and Feminists are torn on whether all sex is rape, or if pornography is liberating. The degenerates warble with the ceaseless clamouring of Pandemonium, finding unity in their endless contradictions. Repugnant and ugly in their quest to corrupt the spirit of logic and inquiry, they baffle the sane mind.
Their policies and personalities are aptly summarized as “Hating God”; simply ask yourself “How would they most blaspheme the Truth? Most profane all beauty? How could they go about twisting the narrative so as to celebrate squatting in the sort of filth that good men revile?” Answer that question, and you can predict the social movements which will be appearing in short order.
He, as most in power do, assumes that our future is linear.
Which would assume a couple of other things, namely:
1. Welfare and transfer payments will continue unabated, keeping babies being born in hospitals, fed with formula and later with foodstamps. And that these payments (or the value of our dollar) remain pretty static as to the amount of nutrition it provides.
2. China, and the rest of the world, doesn’t finally get sick of our warmongering and gluttony and cut us the freak off.
I don’t have time to worry about race percentages 40 years into the future, I need to continue focusing on surviving the next ten.
Keep in mind I’ve lived and worked with Detroiters for nearly 2 decades, most of them cannot boil water, nor grow a houseplant (unless its weed), let alone grow the grain to make the flour to make the wheat to feed their little darlings.
Sadly, the urban (growing) population isn’t prepared for empty store shelves and closed down McDs, many won’t survive it and many more will perish trying to strong arm supplies for themselves after the fact.
So, much ado about nothing. Focus on the next 10, then we can worry about the 30 after.
“Feminists, Socialists, Race-Baiters, Multiculturalists, Environmentalists, and Relativists – the enemies of civilization are endless.”
The enemies of white males list looks about the same….
Coincidence? I think not.
