April Grab Bag

One of the things I don’t like about taking time away is that it seems to take me almost as long to get back into the swing of things. I get back from vacation with things stacked up from before I left and I’m not in the right frame of mind yet to get anything done. By the end of that first week back, I feel like I need another vacation, because I’m working twice as hard to get half the stuff done. I’m really looking forward to the weekend so I can get caught up on everything and get back to my normal schedule and routine.

When you travel, you learn things, but not always what you expect. For example, I got to spend time with Ed Dutton, the English anthropologist who teaches at the University of Oulu in Finland. He mentioned in passing that I have an odd voice, by which he meant different from most Americans. Some others said the same thing, which still puzzles me a bit, but I suspect it is just a European thing. They have certain expectations for how Americans should sound and I fall outside of that set of expectations.

I must admit though, it is a strange thing to be halfway around the world and have someone comes up to you and say they recognize your voice. We live in amazing age in many respects. People in our thing all over the world can communicate with one another over the internet to such an extent we don’t think much about it. I have listeners in Estonia, which is amazing when you stop and think about it. To think this connectedness is not having profound changes on human society is a major mistake.

Another bad thing about the first week back is spring time has hit Lagos, which means tons of pollen in the air. I’ve never had allergies, but when I moved here some local shrub must not sit well with me, as I have a week every year where my throat feels like sandpaper and my eyes are irritated. This is that week, so I may sound ever odder than normal. I tried to tinker with the audio to clean it up, but that never turns out well, so there are a few stretched where the audio is not as good as it should be.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below. I have been de-platformed by Spotify, because they feared I was poisoning the minds of their Millennial customers.

A bit off topic, but reading the news yesterday, Trump had the audacity to recommend sending the illegals to the sanctuary cities. This brought out all the fainting and crying jags, and the “how could you even….”s. But thinking about it, it is the heart of humanitarianism to send these people where they are more safe and secure from deportation, right? Now the fact that Nancy Pelosi does not want these people on her constituents’ doorsteps is just a delicious irony. Trump should bring it on, it is exactly the sort of thing we need to be doing, turning their… Read more »

It’s not that Pelosi doesn’t want more vibrancy in LA or SF, it’s that another million or two would hardly even be noticed. California is no longer part of Western Civilization. For Pelosi, the whole purpose of bringing in more bio-weapons is to tilt the balance in middle America, especially the small towns. Que pasa Peoria! ——- BTW, there is no way SF is 49% white unless white includes Arabs, white Hispanics, mixed mystery races, Jews and…the 15% of the population that is gay. Normal white Americans make up maybe 30% of the city. There’s been a bump up in… Read more »

I’m sure Nancy is fine with more vibrancy in the Bay Area, but she does not want it in her neighborhood. Call her on it. You are exactly right, it is true that the illegals are weapons against Middle America, so let’s use humanitarian logic against that, too. It isn’t every day that we can support our own position and also take the humanitarian high ground. We need to grab it when we can. We are in a fight to the death, we need to use every weapon we have.

So in the name of “diversity everywhere”, you are going to insist that poor, friendless immigrants be sent to places in which they are more vulnerable to forced deportation, rather than to places that will protect them. What kind of heartless monster are you? In the name of some nebulous concept, you are going to make the most vulnerable people in our midst suffer greatly when they don’t need to?

Judeo-Christian already had a definition. Judeo-Christian was an adjective, and it modified a person, not a philosophy, and it meant someone who was born and raised Jewish (ethic/religious/cutlural) who found Christ and converted. A Judeo-Christian was someone with deep Jewish roots, but never the less became Christian. A Judeo-Christian. Like an ‘Irish Catholic’ or Swedish Lutheran. The cultural background modifier of their religious beliefs.

Culling of the low IQ, not the high or above the mean IQ—especially, those with 1+ SD above the mean who are the ones capable of a rigorous college education in STEM. Those are your future automationists and your support structure for technology.

This is why I have spoken out for an elimination of welfare a we know it. It promotes the unproductive at the expense of the productive. However, even in this group, there are those who are against such—even though the evidence of an unsustainable system is obvious to all.

Compsci, do you support high IQ nationalism, the belief that smart people of all races should form an identity group?

Non-white people, including Jews, seem to have a stronger racial identity than an “IQ identity.” I’m unsure how to test this hypothesis, but I guess that most high IQ non-whites identity more strongly with their low IQ co-ethnics than with high IQ people of other races. If so, then high IQ nationalism is impossible.

If high IQ nationalism succeeds, won’t it reduce to Jews and Asians fighting each other for racial dominance of whatever polity they share?

We are indeed full, and we have roughly 110 million more people, mostly non-White, than we can afford. During WWII we had roughly 220 million people. This increased somewhat during the baby boom to 250 million people, give or take, before the 1965 Open Borders – get Whitey Act. This was crucial to America’s stability. It allowed enough real estate that was desirable enough for Whites to flee cities as Segregation ended and Jim Crow no longer had an iron hand on Black violence against Whites (no one cared about Black on Black violence during Segregation).

You seem a bit more aggrieved by the bozos than usual. with references to smiting them as the opportunities arise.

Zman, I wish I had known about your pollen allergy before you left for Europe. In Italy and France they sell a very reasonably priced antihistamine in the form of eye drops. Presumably, it’s available all over the Eurozone. It is a bloody miracle. It will stop your symptoms in their tracks. No prescription necessary. Every time I go to Europe I buy more of it. You may want to check your local pharmacy and see if something like this is available here.

I’ve always found that blacks more or less sound the same no matter when they live, except rural Southern blacks who have a distinctive Southern black accent. Black culture never seems to go off in different directions. There aren’t black subgroups whereas whites immediately start forming regional and cultural subgroups.

I grew up in OH I think you sound lower Midwestern, the standard OH voice without the Yankee-ish nasal tones of Michigan, Illinois etc. I expected you to sound like the FTN crew, East Coast NYC/Boston, FWIW.

A very good example of a real Baltimore white accent is Bunny Colvin’s deputy on ‘The Wire,’ a character named Dennis Mello (played by real life Baltimore cop Jay Landsman). The only white guy on the show with a genuine Baltimore accent.

I recommend this accent map, which is quite accurate

Re: the term “Judaeo-Christian”: while it is a neologism, a compelling argument can be made for its liceity by understanding that ONLY the Jewish and Christian GOD is actually God. No other world religion recognizes God in the same way as do Jews and Christians–that is, as a God Who intervenes in history. The other ‘gods’ are “watchmakers” like the one of the Masons.

However, the commonality only applies to those Jews who still operate under the rules of the Torah. Reform- and Liberal- need not apply.

And all those Orthodox that focus on the Talmud? Pretty much all modern Judaism is simply a derivative of the Phariasee sect that had Jesus crucified.

It’s with drivel like this that the West earns its demise.

It’s unfortunate that Z tried to shame the J3wish writer Michelle Goldberg by invoking the Holocaust. Even if we accept for the sake of argument the Holocaust narrative, this rhetorical maneuver is just DR3 in a different context, with even less chance of persuading anyone.

Very disappointing to hear Z pretending that “Judeo-Christian” isn’t real.

Every Christian Bible I’ve ever seen includes the Jewish Torah, right up front. Every Christian preacher I’ve ever known preaches from those books of the Torah.

No, Christians aren’t identical to Jews. But they are both people “of the book”. Lots of overlap. Lots of agreement. Lots of common values.

So be sure to advertise your Islamo Christian values to the world as well. It makes the same amount of sense as Judeo Christian.

I think you guys need to realize that the younger generatoion (better educated and more diverse) completely rejects your worldview.

Generation Zyclon wants a word with you. Hell even most of the millennial men hate the ZOG. Who can blame them given what they did to the impressionable women. Damn dude, just at look at all those fat, angry, tatted up whores with wires hanging out of their noses tits and clits. Make no mistake, the ONLY thing holding this thing together is the bubble gum and baling wire of unsustainable debt. When that goes South, and it will, it’s gonna be ugly as hell for your world view. People are going to be angry, very very angry. Pensions gone.… Read more »

The younger generation may reject our worldview, given that our worldview is a product of the lives we have lived, and they don’t have those life experiences to give them understanding. Our life view is occasionally cold hearted and selfish, but that is because we have been constantly beaten around the head and shoulders for all of life’s ills, deserved or not. At some point the whipped horse kicks back. We are not naturally cold hearted people, but we can’t win, even when we are generous or magnanimous. When we try to do good, we are often simply taken advantage… Read more »

I very much hope you’re right. The quicker we hit bottom, the sooner we can start rebuilding from the ashes. Had Hilliary won in 2016, we likely would have begun the civil war already. As it is, we continue the slow slide toward a deeper bottom. The longer this takes, the worse will be the cataclysm when we get there.

I’m actually glad Collins posts here. He’s a great reminder that 1) out enemies truly despise us and 2) they’re winning and they know it.

Indeed. The “muh gun” crowd needs to stop thinking that collecting guns and that by holding up in some trailer in Idaho is a solution. It isn’t. They will be tracked down and burnt out. They need to focus on squad level tactics and guerilla warfare methods and getting the biggest bang for the buck in terms of proper target selection.
