Roundup of the Heresy of Jason Richwine: Guilty of preferring truth to PC

Under the Cathedral, perhaps the single greatest form of heresy is the denial of blank-slate racial egalitarianism.  Nevermind that evolution and loads of data say racial egalitarianism is a fiction. This even strengthens the mindset of the believers, elevating such a belief to a religious doctrine, which means that those who poke holes in the dogma are castigated like heretics.  To the believers in the Cathedral, this is not a rational debate, it is an affront to their religious worldview — the religion being one of racial egalitarianism.

This week Jason Richwine has been found guilty for having noticed what you’re not supposed to notice:  that some racial groups, like Hispanics / mestizos, have lower average IQs than European Americans.  As Sailer notes, Philip L. Roth, looking at 39 studies with a 5,696,529 sample size, found the average IQ of Hispanics to be about 11 points lower than whites.  But don’t expect this data, or any other substantial points, to be brought up in the public lynching of Richwine.

The parts are already in motion. Richwine recently helped author a study by the Heritage Foundation showing that mass amnesty would cost tax payers around $6.3 trillion, since, to put it bluntly, most of these immigrants are Third World rejects who will use more in government services than pay in taxes.  Since this study is generally sound — and since the Cathedral wants nonetheless to flood the USA with the Third World — someone went back and found Richwine’s Harvard dissertation, “IQ and Immigration Policy,” where Richwine wisely argues against flooding the USA with low-IQ hordes. (They also recently discovered that Richwine penned an article or two for Alternative Right.)  Somehow, if the Cathedral points and sputters enough, this indignation will, by association, discredit the Heritage study.  Or so they hope.

Pointing and sputtering is here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.

Substantial discussions here:

Are Christian Leaders Today a Bunch of Girly Men?

The purpose of this blog wasn’t primarily intended to discuss religion but since two of the most popular posts at Occam’s Razor (“Why the Religious Should Reject Intelligent Design” and “Is Christianity Inherently Left-Wing?”) are about religion, I thought I’d put up another.

In the “Song of Roland,” a heroic French poem about the  Battle of Roncesvalles in 778 during the reign of Charlemagne, one cannot help but be impressed by Archbishop Turpin.  A Moorish invasion of Charlemagne’s kingdom is taking place and his retainers do not hesitate to take up arms. Archbishop Turpin, although a man of the cloth, arms himself, splitting a head or two of the invaders.

That was then.

Today we have a similar invasion taking place.  The Third World  is pouring into Europe (Africans, Middle Easterners, Indians) and into the United States (mestizo hordes from Mexico and Central America) but the religious leaders today have taken nearly an opposite position.  Instead of opposing the invaders, they have sided with them.

This treason ranges from Pope Benedict siding with African invaders against Europeans to Cardinal Timothy Dolan supporting open borders to Protestant leaders like Richard Land and Russell Moore supporting the Third World invasion of the United States.

Clearly, as others have noted, these men suffer from both both ethnomasochism and pathological altruism.  Channelling Roissy, one cannot help from noticing that these men are often pathetic beta males.

Christian leaders today are effeminate, as is seen in the emotional tactics used by people like John Piper in cajoling white people into adopting non-white babies.  In discussing the recent Christian fetish of transracial adoption, Christian HBD blogger Generation5 notes that this impulse in part derives from a complete feminization of Christianity.

This feminization is probably nowhere more apparent than in male leaders of the pro-life movement, where it is not uncommon to see grown white men crying like little girls in public because some black person unknown and unrelated to them somewhere is getting an abortion.  (Contrast this to alpha male Michael Corleone whose anger at his wife is not because of some abstract concern about abortion but because she reduced his inclusive fitness.)

Here is some telling visual evidence.

Maudlin evangelical leaders praying for poor immigrants:

Or beta male Matthew Soerens, US Church Training Specialist for World Relief, whose panties are in a knot over whether some black child is unadopted or some illegal immigrant is mistreated:

You decide:

Updates:

Russell Moore and Matthew Soerens are calling us at Occam’s Razor “white supremacist Darwinists.” (Actually, guys, HBD shows that North Asians and Ashkenazis have above average IQs too!) Such a sniveling display of political correctness only substantiates this post.

Ann Coulter seems to agree about these girly men; apparently she has a bigger pair than they do.

Do we need more amateur scientists?

Steve Hsu asks: “Is the age of the talented amateur over in science?“

Hsu here in particular means a specialist from one field a contribution in another but this question could be expanded to mean a non-scientists doing scientific research (such as the gentleman scientist, which would include the majority of figures from the Scientific Revolution in Europe) or scientists doing research outside the official channels of government or corporate funding.

For instance, Dmitri Konstantinovich Belyaev’s famous fox experiment in the Soviet Union is perhaps one of the most important experiments ever performed in evolution, as it sheds much light upon the domestication of animals and human evolution.  And this experiment was performed under the radar of the Soviet government, since the official scientific doctrine of the Soviets was Lysenkoism (not Darwinism).   (Lysenkoism meshes better with Marxist egalitarianism than does Darwinism.)

In the United States today, similar politically correct constraints are put upon research.  For instance, the landmark Minnesota twin study — which has perhaps shed more light upon the nature vs nurture debate than any other single study — received funding from the Pioneer Fund since hardly any major institutions would fund the study.  And even today the study is largely ignored as its findings shatter many egalitarian blank-slate illusions.

Giving the constraints in the West today (but apparently not in the East), I wonder whether we Westerners need the amateur scientist now more than ever?

Who Supports Open Borders? Summary of Open-Borders Elite in USA

Dennis Mangan’s recent reminder about some Anti-Western Goldman Sachs executive demanding that the EU undermine national homogeneity in Europe got me to thinking about the open-borders elites in the United States.  While the American media paints immigration as a “divisive issue,” nothing could really be less divisive, as polls constantly show that an overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to illegal immigration and want massive reductions in legal immigration.   In short, the immigration battle is between most Americans and a small open-borders elite.

Who is this elite?

Going from Kevin Lamb’s report “The Open Borders Network” and other resources, this elite is composed of:

- Big Business: mega-corporations like WalMart and others who want cheap labor.

- Christian Organizations:  Especially, the leadership of the  Catholic Church and Evangelical organizations, although the overwhelming majority of parishioners of these organizations seem to be opposed to immigration.  (I have long suspected that pro-immigration Christians suffer from pathological altruism.)

- The NAABP (the National Association for the Advancement of Billionaire People, as Sailer calls them):  People like Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, et al.

- Jewish Groups: These groups have been lobbying for Third World immigration since the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924. (Interestingly, roughly half of American Jews now seem opposed to illegal immigration in the USA, although the vast majority of Jews oppose African immigration into Israel, even going as far as sterilizing African immigrants and deporting many of them.)

- Ethnic Activists:  Anti-white groups such as La Raza or a recent surge of Indian activists.

- The US Media:  The one-sided reporting on immigration is mind-boggling.

- Clueless Ideologues: Here I would include ethnomasochists like Bryan Caplan and Cheap Chalupas who seem not to live in reality but in some libertarian fantasy land.

As I’ve said before, we need new elites.  Despite all their faults, the old WASPs did after all pass the Immigration Act of 1924.

Updates:

Regarding the length of influence of these elites, some Europeans have suggested that their immigration problems ultimately stem from the importation of American political correctness, which is supported by Mangan’s recent post.

US Gov: If you disagree with political correctness, you’re a traitor!

So much for open debate about, say, such things as human biodiversity or whether the USA is on a collision course with insolvency or whether we should flood the USA with 33 million new immigrants over the next decade or two transforming the USA into a Third World country. Yes, the Obama has reaffirmed May 1 to be a national holiday, “Loyalty Day,” which includes, among other things,

“Today, we rededicate ourselves to that enduring task. We do so knowing our journey is not complete until the promises of our founding documents are made real for every American, regardless of their station in life or the circumstances of their birth [i.e. don't criticize illegals!]. Progress may come slow; the road may be long. But as loyal citizens of these United States, we have the power to set our country’s course. Let us mark this day by pressing on in the march toward lasting freedom and true equality [i.e. we need more racial affirmative action, another trillion spent on black and mestizo education, more white guilt, etc], grateful for the precious rights and responsibilities entrusted to each of us by our forebears.”

In other words, if you disagree with the Cathedral, you’re a  traitor!

But on the bright side, the Cathedral has just admitted that it has lost all arguments, since it seeks to replace open debate with state-mandated political correctness.  Ideological totalitarianism is the last stage of the Cathedral.  And more and more people see through the lies.  For instance, the “race doesn’t exist” meme has become a type of state-enforced Lysenkoism that only the dullest or most ideologically committed cannot see through.

Updates:

Yes, “Loyalty Day,” is an older holiday but Obama’s recent proclamation seems to add a new egalitarian twist to it:   Agree with the Cathedral or Else!  Or, to put it another way, the original 1921 holiday was directed against foreign Marxist subversion; Obama’s recent recasting is directed against Americans.

Map of Visual Trichotomy of Dark Enlightenment

Nick Land provides this map of the Visual Trichotomy of the Dark Enlightenment:

(Click on image to enlarge.)

Regarding the tendencies, there is no reason for the theonomists and ethnicists to be in conflict.  As noted by many HBD and sociobiology writers, ethno-religion is the most powerful group identity one can have.  (It’s done wonders for the Ashkenazis.)  How would the techno-commercialists fit it?  Well, such a society doesn’t spring out of thin air, but requires certain features of IQ, impulse control, and social trust and investment, etc. Social trust and investment are usually more manifest in racially homogenous societies.  Not to mention that such states provide the added bonus of maximizing one’s inclusive fitness.  Are techno-commercialists opposed to maximizing their inclusive fitness? It’s adaptive.
