In this post, he explains why he dislikes Assortative Mating theory, even seemingly addressing the specifics of the main text above. For the record I don’t agree with his rebuttal. The reason is because when women get silly and meaningless degrees in Women’s and Gender Studies or whatever, they still require a high IQ at the tertiary education level. All of the “research” is basically bogus, but you still ultimately have to be a structured writer, you still have to know a bunch of big words and retain jargon, you still have to understand the basics of abstruse post-structuralist and/or phenomenological philosophical thinkers, etc. etc. even if what you’re writing is sheer garbage. No, it’s not very hard work, but the amount of work, for what it’s worth, requires high IQ. Personally I’ve noticed that feminist grad students (and their ilk) do the work they do mostly because they have more free time to do other stuff, while the men in hard sciences are all working their asses off.

You could actually compare most humanities grad scholarship to what alchemy and magic was for enlightenment-era scientists. Isaac Newton studied the occult sciences, and the reason was probably because ultra-complex and obscurantist systems of thought appeal to highly intelligent people, regardless of validity.

However, Heartiste follows up his own point with this bit of advice:

So he sort of has his bases covered. Even if his analysis is wrong, he’s doing his part for the segment of his spergy fanbase who might otherwise fall into the trap. More people will probably adopt these sorts of attitudes in the next couple decades.

As I’ve said, the new cognitive elite seems too screwy and dissatisfied for trends to continue indefinitely. I predict a gradual reversal, but I guess we’ll see.

Not quite sure whether this was accomplished by splicing or embryo selection though..

And look it seems like a long time, but their reign didn’t begin until the Boomers began their 60’s tantrum, and wasn’t achieved until the Clinton administration. They’ve only been in charge 21 years.

Of course no one knew until the Financial crisis. Only 6 years.

@Michael – the Derivatives bomb is a suicide bomb vest. “Gimme EVERYTHING or I blow up the WORLD!!” No, you blow up your world. Which suits the rest of us fine. The rest of us being the 1 Billion people you’ve used as yet another refinanced mortgage on your insane gambling Ponzi schemes. Elites and their collateral don’t share the same existential interests.

Of course the most genetically common assortive mating isn’t all that assortive, and the doomsday “you can’t touch us now Finances” is a recursively failed model. That’s because they’re inbreeding their own defectives, because they’re caught in a 3000 year old amber block where no one can say no to the shiny object in the market. The rest of us moved on because we wanted to make it, so we had to move on. Note as every one of the dozen or so in my Dunbar file are very good people and none are evil, I am as usual against condemnation by race. For anyone. I’ve even come to an understanding that Islam isn’t intrinsically evil, it’s just defending itself in a retarded way. It too has been carrying defectives for a long time.

1. “My experience is proles are happy like hobbits till wizards come knocking.”

A line so brilliant that Mike condescended to use punctuation. Bravo Mike.

I’m closest to Mike here in beliefs and what I’ll endure or get behind, possibly excepting I don’t get Veteran off Mike.

Mike you don’t need to flip the Army. They’re us.

I have spread from 1986 to now 14 years service in 80s, 90s, aughts. We’re also generational like Police/Firefighters or indeed most trades. Our trade requires bravery and it does seem to run in families as I suspect skill at being a Italian Stonemason, machinist, mathematician does.

2. Mike is absolutely correct about the Clever Sillies. You can’t be trusted with power, your signature accomplishment is comprehensive ruin.

Admin not only does it not need to be done on the Web except by general sympathy or stimergic learning ala John Robb, it needs to be encouraged among violent, professional plotters and evaders of the legalistic progressive caste: US MIL and Law Enforcement. We’ve been doing it full time since mid aughts and Law Enforcement for decades. The contribution that the clever can make to this ongoing [but by no means foreordained conclusion] process is using our verbal skills to point out the obvious and it’s implications.

For example I get a lot of luck with Cops using this one: “You realize WHO the Independent Judiciary is, Right?”

The reaction from Cops is quite encouraging. This must be encouraged.

Note – my recommendation to the Police is that in Civil Conflict where the Right comes at last, and the [and their] People come at last is Armed Neutrality in exchange for the Power to Mitigate Evil.

3. Not everything is invented at Google. Google really invented a search engine which they immediately whored to power [that’s if their seed capital was from power all along]. Google exists now in a similar function to the Counter-Reformation Inquisition and Peer Review, to prevent or retard development as it’s more important to control.

But Google didn’t understand how smart we are. For instance in the US firearms are very important to proles [Scotch-Irish Borderlands/Backcountry core value]. Proles got busy with reading and parsing the firearms laws and figured out the 80% receiver and jigs to drill it out, exactly that if mags are disassembled into “repair kits” they’re legal, and printing 3D guns damn sure ain’t Google. AIN’T GOOGLE.

Sorry under no circumstances do the clever sillies run anything. $1000 Trillion in vastly over-leveraged zero interest rate only gambling says so, as does every other metric and our eyes.

I don’t think the general thrust in either of these patterns (both of which are complementary, not opposed) will manage to withstand the extreme tensions they’re producing.

Heartiste has made some valid points which touch on assortative mating based on socioeconomic status: it tends to result in browbeaten, pissed off men with low testosterone and no ability to control their wives — which is why I suppose he specifically recommends marriage (IE, mating) based on mixing male status and female looks, not strictly high IQ. It probably won’t be long before men start to approach the situation from the same stance.

In the meantime, it seems like the very basic tripartite division of mongoloid/caucasoid/negroid will maintain its structural integrity for centuries down the line.
