There’s a new article in The Atlantic denouncing me as the Big Bad Guy leading a terrifying trend among Evil People toward using data and numbers to try to disentangle the effects of nature and nurture:
Well, that's funny. Back in 2003 Michael Lind wrote in detail about the Jewish nature of the neocons. A crime as severe as noticing that IQ differences exist. But a lot of people who utter a grain of truth, usually when it comes to criticizing mass immigration, then hurry to denounce someone farther to the Right than themselves. "Take him, not me!" It's called throwing someone under the bus, I believe.
You quoted Lind verbatim at length. I'm guessing he does not return the favor to those he criticizes.
We discussed "thrown to the wolves" in the Althouse comments this weekend, in reference to Biden being "shoved off the sled," so it's nice to see an illustration, if you're a good peasant--or a wolf.
I didn't know until I checked that "cadre" could be a member of a cadre. I'd have gone with "comrade."
She’s on an old-fashioned blogging platform with tiny unreadable text size (at least for me with aging eyes on an iPhone.) She should switch to Substack.
She almost changed some years ago when Google was screwing around with Blogger, but I believe she wants to keep her now 20 years of uninterrupted daily posts in one place. I use a laptop because phones are too damn small for my fingers.
Steve, have you read American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard ? A bit dated (2011) but interesting.
Over the years, Sailer has written quite a bit about David Hackett Fisher's "Albion's Seed." JayMan brought up Woodard's book in the following 2016 comment ('gold-boxed' by Sailer).
"organisms deteriorated with each generations[sic]"
I don't think they believed that was automatic when it came to thoroughbred horses or dogs or plants, but they must have noticed it in their inbred royals.
Was it Franklin who also pointed out to scornful French aristos that the Americans present were taller than the locals?
Your color-coding always makes me smile, but someone's going to be offended by the blue blood reference.
I've long assumed that lower IQs in the West and Far East were somewhat culled, unintentionally or not, helping push up the average. But considering the scorn for "acting white," what if significantly higher IQs and innovators were kept out the gene pool in SSA when they appeared? If that stopped happening 500 years ago, would we know about it?
People are afraid that "evolved differently" will be seen as "less evolved."
Mother Jones, a magazine named for a self-described Bolshevik, lists Ali Breland as their reporter covering "internet disinformation", implying that Ali aspires to be Censorship Commissar in the coming Workers' Paradise.
But Ali's confession that "@hannahgais and michael lind who spoke with me for this piece and were tremendously helpful" is code for "I am their willing sock puppet", which means that Ali aspires to be the Workers' Paradise's first affirmative action Censorship Commissar.
Anyhow, Breland may have his own reasons for fearing the eugenic state:

She's sticking to her Nokia phone too. Kind of accidentally cool

JayMan's been quiet at unz.com since 2017, but his insights on this topic stand the test of time.
Happily, he remains active on Twitter.

The cheerful hbd chick considered Woodard at her blog (also gone quiet).

She also posts on Twitter.

Not Yet, Mr. DeMille!
Bet he isn't wearing trousers, either.
The compulsory adherence to the Party Line is strong with this group of Independent Thinkers.
