Maybe that is why ESR seems so blase about the threat.

For context, I have followed just about everything he has written online since 1990, and it wasn’t until 2003 that I disagreed with him about anything enough to want to write online for myself. That was the only reason I started blogging. (Obviously, there was no blogging in 1990, but there was Usenet). He may come over as a tad pompous and ridiculous, but he has one hell of a track record.

If SJWs infect and ultimately destroy programming culture I predict it will be through Human Resources and grafting on the bureaucratism that works so well elsewhere.

Also note that racial differences have practical, real-world effects. I’m mostly familiar with how they impact drug regimens — like this, for example. Or this. And this is a fine, if old, review. (For whatever reason, there haven’t been many recent reviews on this topic!)

And if in your convoluted and incomprehensible statement on the “remaining 0.1%” you were trying to describe epigenetics, you did a damn poor job of it. It’s fashionable to ascribe a whole lot of importance to epigenetics these days; just how important histone modification and DNA-methylation actually are remains to be seen. Histone alterations, moreover, aren’t heritable.

Of course, the SJW response to this would be that whites have more of an opportunity to develop programming skills. Programming skills are the result of a system that favors white males and bars the participation of blacks of either gender.

To which the kind response would be, “Okay, so what do we need to do to make sure blacks aren’t barred from programming?”

And, of course, the NRx tech-com would add, . . . “aren’t we already doing plenty to make sure blacks get interested in programming? How many millions are spent on free primary education, summer camps, employment legislation, affirmative action, and so on? Every computer science department in the West has a diversity outreach program. There’s not a single policy on the books of any CS department or tech company to keep blacks out.”

“It’s not enough.”

The SJWs want more drastic measures to be taken. And that’s where you realize that the desire to see more blacks in programming is just one of the many, many pathways by which SJWs want to completely change the rules of the capitalist game, to tear down the status quo. The kinds of drastic measures needed to get more blacks into Google would simply mean Google is no longer Google. And that’s what the SJWs want. They want to disrupt capital.

Anyway, that’s what the more self-aware SJWs want. Plenty of them just get “teh feels” from demanding justice and have no long term game plans, which is why they shut down whenever you get all rational on them about this stuff, showing them IQ research, SAT scores, crime rates, and so on. “Hey, this is about muh feels, not about the real world!”

Wrong thread!
