Stuyvesant High Versus China Rail

Guest Post by Fred Reed

It is Time to Stop Celebrating Inadequacy

China has an upcoming maglev train that will run at 373 miles an hour. By comparison, the United States increasingly looks like a country from an earlier age. Pop Quiz: Was this train engineered (a) by heartwarming, puzzled, oppressed, suffering, agonized minorities who ought to be making pizzas, or (b) by the brightest people China could find regardless sex, color, or “adversity quotient”? (If you choose (a) you are probably a Democrat.)

Diversity over Quality

Perhaps it is time to recognize the stupid as an ethnic group. They are the country’s largest voting bloc. They are hugely influential, having agendas, lobbies, and demands. They work tirelessly to put the cognitively undetectable into positions of power. Usually they succeed. They are the enemies of reason, the sciences, mathematics, schooling, high culture, thought, and recognizable grammar.

For example, New York debates eliminating the entrance test for the city’s elite high schools–e.g., Bronx High School of Science, Stuyvesant, and Brooklyn Tech. Mayor De Blasio, presumably preferring reelection to sanity, backs the idea. He knows the stupid can’t solve a quadratic, but they can pull a voting handle, at least with preparatory training.

The problem, see, is that the test selects only the incandescently bright, which of course is why it exists. This offends the stupid. Now it seems that the schools need really dim students, specifically HPOCs–heartwarming people of color–who can’t do the work. The idea is to make the schools Look Like America. Which it would, Which should be avoided at all costs.

Somebody should tell New York that elite schools are not playpens for the synaptically challenged–to put it plainly, the stupid. “Stupid” is what exists when intellectual reach exceed intellectual grasp.

De Blasio wants entrance to depend more on factors such as “attendance, GPA, ethnicity, personal recommendation, and geographical locations,” none of which has much to do with academic capacity.

Actually, someone did try to inform the assembled pusillanimous asses. “But when a 12-year-old, Asian-American middle school girl spoke in favor of retaining the test—asking “If I work hard, shouldn’t I have a higher advantage than those who are just being lazy”—the senators were alert to potentially racially insensitive language.”

The video is worth watching.

“Lazy,” you see, was thought to be a code word for blacks. Now, why did they think that? Is “stupid” a codeword? We could fall back on the reliable “differently abled.”

Personally, I don’t give a damn about racially insensitive language and neither should you. I don’t care what kind of kids get into Stuyvesant if they get there honestly. You want kids from the Tloxyproctyl tribe of the remote Amazonian rainforest? Fine. If they pass the entrance test. Lemurs? Tarsiers? No problem–on the same grounds.

Actually, the little Asian girl was being kind, or at least publicly cautious. She said “lazy” instead of “stupid,” which of course she thought. It is what all smart students think when afflicted by affirmative action admits. Stupid is obvious. The stupid do not belong in a high school where a Mensa level IQ–about 130–is probably a lower bound.

Some stats: Mean SATs, Stuyvesant: 1470, mean math 760. These correlate with an IQ of 143.:

De Blasio wants entrance to depend more on factors such as “attendance, GPA, ethnicity, personal recommendation, and geographical locations,” none of which has much to do with academic capacity.

The Asian child of course has an excellent point. Since she was chosen to speak to the assembled lickspittles, she presumably is radiantly bright and hopes to make the cut. Why indeed should she, smart, studious, potentially useful to society, be booted in favor of HPOC with his pants dragging around his ankles, just above his IQ? Why deliberately exclude the superior student, because she is superior?

If the new admission standards favored by official cretins are accepted, says a study, the Asian percentage will fall from 61% to 31% and the black and Hispanic rise to 46%, which would destroy the schools–the intention, I suspect. There exists not the slightest chance of finding so many qualified minorities. If they existed, it would not be necessary to lower standards to recruit them.

Maybe the racial admits would survive in a less challenging school. Stuyvesant is not a less challenging school. It is a place for very, very smart kids who will go on to CalTech and MIT and do things like neural networks and protein folding that most of us have never heard of. Allowing the stupid to cripple them out of envy and resentment is crazy. It is a crime.

And, worse, it is a mistake, China is not ahead only in fast trains, but in all manner of things, including five-G. Remember when America was the world’s technological leader? Did it get there by mooing about white privilege and dumb-ass reparations and give me this and give me that, give me, give me, give me?

The elite high schools draw heavily from National Merit finalists, the upper one-half of one percent of the population. (Stuyvesant has 141) They are wicked smart. They are also heavily Chinese. Do we want to replace them with academic disasters-in-waiting from sheer resentment?

Anybody with the brains of a goddam learning-disabled turnip knows what will happen. The HPOCs will fall to the bottom like anvils. One imagines this:

Teacher: “Chin Ping, given a composite function f(g(x)), the first derivative d/dx f(g(x)) is f'(g(x))⋅g'(x).”

Then: “Deewan, if Daddy Beaver has three sticks, and Momma Beaver has one stick, and Little Bitty Baby Beaver has two sticks, how many sticks….?”

Yes, this is cruel and exaggerated. It is also assured. The Affirmative Action Effect effect has been many times demonstrated. It is demonstrated every day in what were once universities.

Following this disaster the war drums will sound. Efforts will begin to drag the school down. Perhaps there will be remedial courses in differential equations. Then we will drop the wave equation from chemistry courses, although the Asian kids, and for that matter all who were admitted legitimately, could learn about probability densities while bouncing on a trampoline and listening to awful music. There will be calls for more-inclusive vector operators. HPOCs in the legislature will say that you don’t really use high-dimensional geometries in daily life. Anyway mathematics is just a tool of white supremacy. (But…but aren’t the Chinese people of color?).

Underlying the hissing and spitting about racism and sexism and thisaprivilege and thataprivilege is America’s profound resentment of superior intelligence. Allied to this is a venomous anti-intellectualism. Years ago I heard a kid in Alabama of perhaps twelve years express this succinctly: “You ain’t no gooder’n me!” Exactly.

Here is the foundation of American culture: envy. Historically whites have been more successful than blacks, men than women, Christians than Muslims, and the smart than the less so. The lower halves of these pairs now strive to pull down the upper halves. “If I can’t understand algebra, then nobody can study algebra.”

There is much to be said for knowing one’s place, one’s limitations. For example, I am smart enough to be a mid-rank journalist specializing in sedition, slander, and distortion. I am not smart enough for a doctoral program in astrophysics at MIT. This was doubtless an oversight by God, but there it is. I accept it, so I don’t try to push my way into MIT by political pressure. Consequently I do not have to sit in a classroom of the mathematically brilliant and feel like a idiot. I can do that in the privacy of my living room.

The sin of stupidity does not lie in low ability, for which no one is responsible, but in trying to hamstring the able and outlaw superiority. Which, as a country, we are busily doing.

News Flash: Harvard biology students say that the phrase “white corpuscles” is racist, and demand that it be changed to “indigenous peoples corpuscles.” The head of the Ethnic Studies department said he welcomed the move, and would appoint a committee of students to find out how to spell it.

Too many years ago at Berkeley, as part of my responsibilities as a research assistant, I analyzed and summarized applications for the graduate school (public policy). To have a hope of acceptance, Asian and white applicants had to have undergrad average of A, Graduate Record Exam scores around the 90th percentile, and something exceptional like service with the Peace Corps or years of applicable work experience in the public service. Any other colour would be welcomed with a B average, GREs around 50 percentile and nothing exceptional. In fact, student volunteers would call to try entice these minorities to chose Berkeley instead of Harvard or Princeton. A visiting scholar from China remarked, “I’m astounded at how this country goes out of its way to put incompetent people in important places.” (A few years later, a black man led a successful campaign to rid the university of affirmative action, though it likely either returned, or administrators simply found a way around the policy.)

I still chuckle about a minor blow I struck against affirmative action. One applicant, in his essay on a public policy topic (part of the required application package), crowed about how wonderful affirmative action is and how he would devote his career in public policy to expanding it. I graded his essay poor (and any strike like that against a white applicant would doom the application), so that he could give his position at Berkeley to a less-deserving minority student. Walk the walk, asspipe.

“IN AN EFFORT NOT TO OFFEND THE GREAT WHITE SHARK WILL BE OFFICIALLY RENAMED THE “AVERAGE CAUCASIAN SHARK”

I couldn’t get the meme photo to post.

I do not recall ever being discriminated against for my education, intellect and advanced profession by black folks. Or other people of color. Not that I noticed.

I have experienced contempt from white folks. It goes like this. They have an attitude that I gained what I have unfairly. And any pretense of a hierarchical advantage I emit it just snobbish bullshit. Sadly the most egregious examples are from white AGWs. Dumb cops try to shame me for my beliefs and ideas, like what is best for my juvenile wayward children. I am open to better ideas but do not deserve contempt prior to proper investigation. I have been treated like a spoiled stupid undeserving imposter. From social workers as well. And some clients who resent facts and opinions I share with them. Or a divorce attorney who tries to shame me for wearing an off the rack walmart glasses frame as being an example of extravagant sense of entitlement. He drove a Mercedes with wipers for the headlights…..

For once ol’ Fred hits it out of the park. He is spot on with the dumbing down effect and why democrats work so hard to stupefy and infantilize their constituents. No one with a full brain would vote democrat because democrats are hell-bent on destroying any vestiges of a modern and bright society, they are self-destructive. No one should have any ability, no talent, no skills, potential intelligence should be quashed and punished. The stupid are revered and installed in positions of authority and since so many have made it there, we now get to live in the real world version of Idiocracy, once a movie, now an instructional guide.

Years ago the host Steve Allen spoke of the Dumbing of America. Then our wonderful non racist president Johnson said, lets pass laws that will ensure those Negras will be tied to us economically, and vote for us forever. Thus the free train got really rolling. Now the Pelosi idiots want more free borders to build more votes and ignorant migrants to be tied to the party. White males and intelligent people are now on the outside of the screaming media supported world of liberal me,gay me, and dumb me. Shit is going to hit the fan soon, and America will not be great but just another turd in the list of nations with its city streets being like San Francisco multiplied by 100. Glad I will not be around to see the fall of a country I used to love and fought for that was great!

Yeah well Fred, we’re still #1 in the race to the bottom. I REALLY don’t give a rats ass if they change requirements for NYC elite schools to let in the low grade morans, who cares.

At this point in human development (?), I am starting to view the Amish as the life God intended. Do we really need to travel on trains at almost 350MPH? Wow, what a great blurred experience one would have looking out the window.
WHY does everything need to be instant and artificial? Are you really happier being stuck to an electronic device all day? Is artificial bot pussy really better? Do we improve or devolve, that is the question?

Intelligence should be treated the same as any other natural, God-given talent. We don’t send fat, 5’6″ white kids to the NBA, tone-deaf car singers don’t get record contracts– and 80 IQ minorities ( even 110 IQ’s) should not be allocated slots at schools developed for upper echelon intelligence.
Anything else leads to Idiocracy……..

Is the trot of a horse less important than a 350MPH train? Which seems more godly in nature?

My point exactly–different talents. I do not have mechanical acumen or animal husbandry skills or knowledge but I found a niche in life that suits my God-given talents/skills quite well.
Forcing those who are ill-equipped for jobs requiring high IQ mathematics understanding is a recipe for failure or lowering of standards. Likewise, it is also a travesty to take someone who might be a gifted mechanic or grower and lead him into some tech job where he will be subpar and probably miserable.

Jav- THE MOST IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE is not taught in America’s schools because TPTB NEVER want you to know how to thrive and survive without THEM. WHAT are they going to sell you at that point? Would billionaires be few and far between….Uh huh.

The best answer is the simplest answer don’t force anybody to do anything and don’t interfere with people’s choices, opportunities or successes. Then we can have the mathematical wizards doing tech stuff and the mechanically inclined making very cool off road vehicles and those with an interest and talent for the simple life making the best woodworking projects in existence. See how that works…..less government, less interference means more abundance and happier people.

Even the less capable are happier as the rising tide lifts all boats and there is an increased number of higher paying but less skilled jobs available!

Eisenhower was so impressed by HITLER’S Autobahn that he too wanted a system of highways that would allow the military to move troops everywhere throughout the county at a moment’s notice. So he STOLE billions from the wealth of the nation and built the interstate highway system. Of course the big three automakers were more than happy to get behind the plan as they had been buying up local trolley car system and dismantling them for over a decade at least, and lobbying city councils nationwide to replace their wonderful public transit systems with Detroit’s buses. Once the highway system was complete, the car was secure in its place and so was Detroit and the big 3.

In China they decided to steal trillions in wealth from the people to build rail everywhere. They had no serious auto industry to compete at the lobbying table, and there was still plenty of highway being built to satisfy their needs.

So on one had you have government stealing to help out their “friends” and on the other you have government stealing to help our their “friends.”

And in America you still have government pretending to “educate” 90+% of the kids despite decades and decades of abject failure and waste.

Government central planning and control may be giving China a better infrastructure in the short term, but that much power in the hands of government never end well – for the people.

One of the best stories I ever heard was how a naturalized citizen applying for a job had a run in with “stupid”.
This guy was originally from Morocco. The black female HR rep who was interviewing him had a problem with his interpretation of the ethnic background block where he’d checked off “African-American”.
Confused, she questioned his integrity and honesty and he got pissed about it, so he gave her an angry lesson in real-world geography … and yeah, he didn’t get the job.
My personal opinion is that EO and Affirmative Action quotas have been a couple of the worst plagues ever loosed on merit-oriented institutions. Those programs intentionally promote mediocrity and push achievement into a place of secondary importance.

This is just cargo-cultism writ large.

For those who haven’t looked into the origin of that phrase, it stems from a time during WWII when the developed countries who were warring came and established air bases on remote islands which had experienced little contact with the modern world. While the bases were there, all manner of stuff came from the sky: food and clothing and tools and other miracles. When the war was over and the bases abandoned, the natives were said to have tried to recreate the conditions for stuff to come from the sky. They built “radio” towers out of bamboo, and made coconut headsets to call in the missing planes. A cult arose around the “supernatural” source of the cargo.

Such is the mentality that seems to think that (climate and resource issues aside) industrial civilization can continue, just with a different set of folks behind the wheel. If Shaniqua goes through the same ritualistic, religious, motions as Cheng, and gets a piece of paper from the same school, she should have the same result, right? It’s all religious in nature.

In 1972, attending Sacred Heart Elementary school in the Highbridge section of the Bronx (where Yankee Stadium is located), it came time for me to decide on the High school I was going to attend. I had decided and my parents were preparing for me to attend St Francis of Assissi High School in the Upper Bronx. Then the mid-east oil crisis hit, and my father comes to tell me he cannot afford to send me to my choice of HS. I was saddened, but understood what was going on. So after seeking advice and counseling I decided to take the entrance exams for the following High Schools in NYC:
1. Automotive HS
2. Aviation HS
3. Stuvyestant HS
4. Brooklyn Tech
5 Bronx HS of Science
6. Printing HS (this was my mothers demand…yes there was such a HS back then, I don’t know if it still exists today)
During the months of April & May 72, I drudged the NYC subways system to take the exams at these various HS, and let me tell you these exams were no joke. It wasn’t just English and Math. There were science questions, geology questions, how to read a schematic, what tools you would use for various tasks, spacial problems (a box of various shapes broken down, and in your mind you would have to put it back together and choose the right shape), etc, etc. These were three or four hour exams, with no calculators, slide rules or any other helps allowed.
I guess I was kind of smart, because I passed all the tests in the high 90 percentile except for the Bronx HS of Science (which I realistically expected), and decided on Brooklyn Tech and their Architecture program to attend. And let me tell you their in-school curriculum and standards were just as tough as the exam projected.
I write all of that to say, no way in hell these schools will be able to maintain the standards, in exam or curriculum, if they decide to let the “less smart” in. Hell I don’t know if your average white kid could pass these exams today, no way in hell your average “Ghetto” dweller is going to pass. Hell most of the young don’t even know how to read a friggin map, let alone a schematic. Oh yeah they have GPS…whatcha gonna do if the satellites go out?? I witnessed this dumbing down of standards throughout my 30 years in The Corps, I witness it daily on the ramp with the airline I work with, I witness it at the stores I shop in. What in the hell is the matter with the so-called leadership in this country and in our companies…Make America Great Again…I think not…the rot is too deep, way too deep.
Well thanks for reading, and y’all be careful out there.

Well I never got the idea I was really smart. I guess I was having to much fun in highschool chasing the girls and other ” things ” . I did finish high school. In fact my senior year I never missed a day. That was 1979 . Seems almost like a dream now.
Anyway the whole idea of equality is about tearing down anything that is deemed necessary for white Societies or better Western Civilization to exist . It is truly all about ENVY and RESENTMENT against white Americans. Remember this was induced upon white people by fucking Jews in the government during the the 60s . It was all part of the long term plan to destroy white Christian Civilization. Look it up. Find out for yourselves who was behind the civil Rights movement with it’s equality bullshit. Jews have used envy to do great harm to nations in the past.
White people can’t do alot at this point because Jews control the media outlets . Everytime white people or any other group oppose this shit they are condemned in the media. Remember , ENVY and RESENTMENT and Slander all go hand in hand . Only way out of this shit now is war and thus taking down the electric grid . Nothing but war will stop this shit because the people behind this hate us with a passion . Especially Jews and the white progressives Democrats Communist Traitors .

Wow, you know . . . it’s kinda hard to agree with the author, in a way. I get where he is coming from, but his perspective is a little narrow for my taste. I don’t condemn the Chinese for building a bad-ass POS railway (it’ll go nine-hundred til it rattles the f*ck apart) BUT, then, I do kinda take offense at his attitude. Now, I could give a damn about the Asians and their “recruitment” to any school in the US; I have NOTHING against Asians, or any other ethnicity (except Pollacks, because we are so stoopid . . . BUT white) . . . but I do have a problem with non-Americans who infiltrate our education system and THEN denigrate the intellect of US citizens who have, for generations, been used, shit-on, dumbed-down, fucked-over, raped, lied-to, flourinated/vaccintated/gmo’d/brainwashed by EVERY GODDAMNED SOURCE OF INFO THEY HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED – parents, teachers, coaches, movie stars, musicians, singers, magicians, cartoons, weathermen (and women), bobblehead media personalities —- AND manipulated by the US government to believe/trust/understand/know/that they/we/us/I/you are exceptional in any/every way in regards to the rest of the world – ——it is NOT the fault of the innocent, trusting, believing cannon-fodder that they do not realize that the .gov is going to feed them into the line of fire rather than elevate them above the squalor into which they have been enslaved – OTHERWISE, WWII WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED because all of the people would have heard/listened to/trusted SMEDLEY BUTLER and said “FUCK YOU, ROOSEVELT.”

BUT they did not. The Korean Vets did not. The Vietnam Vets did not. And all of the other vets since HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED THAT NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THEM. Except us. And we are the ignorant, poorly-educated, and, in our own way, used . . . and nobody here gives a fuck about us, either. So make your choice, I guess. Promote your own – with support, praise, help, on-the-job-training, etc.. for better or worse, or promote somebody else, however you decide to promote them. Either way, the choice is yours, or the “bitch” is not. Think of it as voting but with actual blood, sweat, and tears. Americans need the help of Americans – and if you can’t manage to do anything for a fellow citizen , even GRACE them for mistakes not their own . . . fuck off.

It hurts to have the nail peeled off of your big toe. Remember that as a kid? A white-hot flash that sends waves of lava up your leg and nearly blinds you?

You’d swear it was 10 on a 10 scale.

But that all-consuming pain is nothing compared to lightly stubbing that toe the next day.

It’s a Soul-deep wound to realize that you’ve been snookered into being used and tossed to the floor like a steamy condom; that your life has been geared to deceive you with ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in high ideals by leaders who scoff at them. Humanity’s self-inflicted, existential wound has infected self-reliance, determination, discipline and the desire to help create a better world. They are all much more important to a life well-lived than a high I.Q. or faster train. They all rot unattended.

It is a fatal injury. We haven’t just been snookered, we’ve been snuffed.

No nation can sustain itself when the qualities most needed to improve society are eliminated by an ‘entitlement’ mindset, encouraged and favored by media, education, and public policy.

The gatekeepers of our highest institutions are Human Resource Departments that do the hiring. They have all been subsumed by mindless buffaloes who screen out anyone whose character has qualities geared for the sacrifices needed to improve one’s circumstances. They would stand out like supernovas in the empty space of bureaucracies.

The true American ethic, “Work harder than anyone else and you will succeed.” Is dead. It’s been replaced by Lazy Lunell, who needs to check her blood sugar every other hour, and screens new applicants to ensure they elocute Ebonics.

No amount of “Promoting your own – with support, praise, help, on-the-job-training, etc” will change that. How’s the toe feeling now?

GREAT ARTICLE!! All this dumbing down – in the name of ‘diversity’ – has already destroyed k-12; and now STEM education is directly under attack from progressive libtards. I know that is redundant.
This is why I believe we are doomed ad a nation – every year we ‘graduate’ morons who haven’t a clue and cannot even think critically.

Where can I get a hat like that state senator is wearing in the video? It would make a cracker like myself look so hip.
