The Liberals disendorse a candidate for truth-telling about indigenous politics.
Looks like we still have a long way to go. Nobody should be disendorsed from a right of centre party simply for offending leftist shibboleths.
Disendorsed this evening:
Vic Liberal Party says Paul Lindemann no longer has party’s support for “unacceptable and offensive” comments about indigenous Australian.
Comments they were “not previously aware of”.

Karmelo Anthony stabbed a white kid to death and was still able to stay in school and graduate with no issues while his family raised half a million dollars and bought a new house. A white girl made a noise into a Ring camera and had to withdraw from school for her own safety within a day of the video being posted online. That basically tells you everything you need to know about the racial disparities in this country.

Because of this completely insane Ole Miss story, I was just forced to have a long talk with my 14 year old daughter, who is going to look a lot like these girls (the way they looked is THE reason the video went viral) and has a BIG personality.
I explained that the left has lost their damn minds and they are out for blood, especially that of good-looking white people with a perceived conservative background. I told her she would be a perfect target, especially given me as her dad and her public fandom of Charlie Kirk, and that with cameras everywhere now, she can NOT publicly joke about ANYTHING. Literally ANYTHING.
This is very relevant because she does a great “Cartman” impression and, as one of the funniest people I know, loves telling politically incorrect jokes in that voice. I made it clear that she can no longer do that in public.
We are officially living in a “1984” thought police state. This is no longer America, especially here in California.
So, a bit of legitimate humor just left this world because of this incredibly stupid story.
Nice job, everyone!!

#NEWS: Ole Miss freshman Alaina Kunes, 18, is no longer enrolled at the University of Mississippi following the viral doorbell camera footage showing students making monkey noises and gestures outside an apartment occupied by three Black students.
The university confirmed her departure but has not clarified whether she voluntarily withdrew or was dismissed.
Kunes has since issued a public apology, describing her actions as “insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful.” She also said she intends to cooperate with the university’s investigation.

A mob of Black "teens" literally dragged a White female college student off her own porch BY HER HAIR to a stop sign, and then beat her UNCONSCIOUS... TWICE...
NO mainstream media coverage.
Two White girls make monkey gestures at a door.
MASSIVE mainstream coverage.

CBS is now targeting the grandfather of the white college girl that did "monkey noises"
They're even after his auto shop
Woke is back, folks

Two white Ole Miss students are accused of making monkey noises outside the apartment of a black student. It's one of the top national news stories in the nation.
Meanwhile, 4 black men in Albany, Georgia are charged with murdering a 15-year-old white kid and there is no national news coverage.
Why is that?

Still thinking about this note Cormac McCarthy made in his private journal that my fiancée and I stumbled on last year in the Wittliff Collections: “The moral clarity of the English-speaking people has been a thousand years perfecting. It is a pointless task to imagine such a struggle taking markedly less time than this in some other culture. The notion that we are all as one is nonsense.”

Seals sleep underater with a kind of auto-pilot.
Every twenty minutes, an automatic reflex brings these sleeping seals to the surface for air. Their brain acts like a biological autopilot, allowing them to breathe and sink back down without ever waking up.
This aquarium time lapse shows this behavior.

In many ways millennial white men have been sacrificed on the altar for the supposed sins of their fathers and grandfathers. A lot of Gen X too. But the Boomers and older kept their jobs while this went on. To me that’s the scandal. Old white men sacrificing their own.
A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.

David Reich’s work has shown that European populations have undergone strong evolutionary pressures over the past 10,000 years, which have directly affected their genes.
Examples of the genetic changes measured over this period:
- Increase in intelligence
- Lightening of the skin
- Decrease in the rate of mental disorders
This is an argument in favor of the genetic origin of intelligence differences between populations:
We have evidence here that selective pressures can have a strong effect in “a relatively short time,” and that the proportion of genes linked to intelligence has increased among Europeans in just a few thousand years.
Consequently, it is a scientifically absurd position to claim that all peoples of the world have the same genetic potential for intelligence, when it is clear that they have been subjected to different evolutionary pressures, leading to different phenotypes both physically (lighter or darker skin, etc.) and psychologically (intelligence, mental illnesses, etc.).

People genuinely don't understand this:
1. The global average IQ is 84. It's not the only factor but it's a major one.
2. Most successful ethnic groups have an average IQ of 100-105. The highest (Ashkenazi Jews) sit at about 107-112.
3. In order for a society to thrive, it needs to have an average IQ over 100. 103-105 or so seems to be the threshold.
At 103-105, you get peak England, the Scandinavian countries or peak Germany. At 100 you get France, and at 98 Spain.
The difference between global domination and also-ran is surprisingly small; just 2-3 IQ points. Another 4-5 and you're a basket case country like the Philippines or Bulgaria or modern Greece.
4. IQ can, within a population, shift solely through genetics, by 0.5-1.0 points per generation.
Social factors can magnify that effect by 5-7 points.
Consequently, the functional IQ of a population can change enough in one generation for a society to go from "world domination" to " basket case."
A more realistic outcome is that this can take 2 or 3 generations to happen. Well, that is what happened.
People often misinterpret the Flynn effect and think that IQs are rising but they're not. They're declining.
5. America is now too low IQ to maintain its position as world hegemon. More so, current birthrate trends have us rapidly entering not just "also ran" territory but "basket case."
The only reason we will stay on top is because we're absurdly rich compared to the rest of the world so we have a long way to fall before anyone catches us.
6. Successful countries become successful usually through a long process of breeding themselves into a higher IQ and then matching that with a social organization that maximizes it.
All it takes is one bad generation to destroy what took centuries to gain.
This is why today's Greeks aren't like the Greeks of golden age antiquity, and today's Romans aren't like the Romans of old.
7. The highest IQ populations today are both not reproducing but also replacing themselves with low IQ populations.
Even Israel is only 1/3 Ashkenazi with lower IQ groups making up the majority of the country. It is worth noting that the Haredi (the cohort with the highest total fertility rate) is about 80% Ashkenazi, but I have no available data on their average IQ.
My point is that IQ does not appear to be an evolutionary advantage in the modern age and as such, it isn't being selected for.
This suggests that we're in a race against decline. We need to solve the IQ problem through technology before we simply run out of smart people living in functioning societies.

this Peter Thiel backed startup says its AI can find a 14 point IQ gap between your embryos
it's called Nucleus and their tagline is literally "have your best baby"
here's how it happens:
> you do a round of IVF and end up with a bunch of embryos
> you send Nucleus the DNA data for each one, up to 20 embryos
> its AI reads more than 7 million spots in each embryo's DNA and compares them to what it learned from more than a million people
> then each embryo gets scored on things like IQ, disease risk, hair color and eye color
> you pick the one you want implanted
scoring your embryos starts at about $6,000
every one of these embryos is naturally yours btw, with zero gene editing involved
America's main medical genetics group says this is moving too fast with too little evidence
but that hasn't slowed Nucleus down at all
when the founder announced this new AI, he wrote "AI is rapidly getting smarter... Now, humanity can too."
they even put ads on the NYC subway that said "IQ is 50% genetic" lol
personally i feel kinda uneasy about this
but IVF got called playing god too, and now nobody blinks at it
so for better or for worse, i think this will soon be accepted as normal
