The varieties of idiocy in black America--you could write a book on it--a very funny book. Of course, you'd need a black frontman.

The Vanguard of Idiocracy?

 U.S. college majors: Average IQ of students by gender ratio | scatter chart made by Etpinard | plotly

The more women pile into a field, the more the clean mountain air of logical thought becomes a swamp of emotional indulgence. The Femtard Dyke Brigade amasses its lardy, lame-witted zombies to overrun the last remaining bastions of logic and reality. Soon we'll have courses like "Gender Anxiety in Mathematical Structures," "Guilt and Gravity: How Men Use Gravitational Theory to Repress the LGBT Community," "The Oppressive Phallic Symbolism of Microelectronic Design and Praxis," "Inclusive Mechanical Engineering Introduction: A Womyn-Centered Perspective on Engineering Without Mathematics." On the list of Progressive errors, conceding suffrage to the female must rank rather high.

By the way, the IQ estimates in the graph are systematically overestimated for all majors because they're only counting those students who plan to pursue graduate school. I should expect the scores to be about 6-8 points lower in reality.

On 1984 and Brave New World

 "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one." - Neil Postman

The witch hunters are banning books; a drugged-up, hyper-entertained Idiocracy will render them unwanted.

The Sage Presages: Triple Threat

https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/sustainability/

1. Sub-replacement birth-rate in high-IQ nations
2. Dysgenic fertility pattern in high-IQ nations
3. Historically unprecedented continuous accumulation of mutational load throughout the population in high-IQ nations

=Civilizational collapse if left uncorrected


Cochran's corrective to apocalypticism:

"Again, I don’t believe a word of it [referring to a commenter's claim that average English IQ levels have dropped 15 points (1 std dev) in the last 120 years]. As for the declining rate of innovation, you have to have a really wide-ranging understanding of modern science and technology to have any feeling for what the underlying causes are. I come closer than most, and I probably don’t know enough. You don’t know enough. Let me tell you one thing: if genetic potential IQ for IQ had dropped 1 std, we’d see the end of progress in higher mathematics, and that has not happened at all.
Moreover, the selective trends disfavoring IQ all involve higher education among women and apparently nothing else – a trend which didn’t really get started until much more recently.
Not long enough, nor is dysgenic selection strong enough."

F*ckifications Fated Forth

http://climateprogress.org/2010/11/29/royal-society-special-issue-4-degrees-world/ http://climateprogress.org/2010/11/15/year-in-climate-science-climategate/ In the end, this problem is too large for most people to see. They simply do not have the intellectual equipment necessary to understand an issue of such vast magnitude and complexity. This includes most of the media. Result: the science is effectively ignored. We behave as King Lear did in giving his kingdom over to evil women and evil men, renouncing control of his fate, exiling the light of Cordelia, the wisdom of Kent--and enduring through the rest of his days visions of horror as Regan, Goneril, and their train of destroyers ruined what he had built, put out his light and his light, prey for horrid monsters who found that even they were unable to halt the inertia of this wave of destruction and ended crushed under its high-towering crest. We behave like senile old fools whose feeble dodderings hold such consequence of terror as to drive them from fragile dementia into a doom-eager madness desperate to escape their final futile resorts, their last reality.

The Nature of Socialism

Socialists are levelers, and levelling of people is only possible by levelling down. Hence, idiocracy.

Educational Mishaps

This is so absurd as to be comical: http://isteve.blogspot.com/2009/08/inanity-of-teacher-training.html

Building Idiocracy

http://www.vdare.com/sailer/090406_graduate_school.htm What is particularly shocking is that we allow incapables to become doctors and dentists. Dead patients and squandered resources result. For the rest, it's certainly inefficient to promote less intelligent individuals into the professions when more intelligent people are available and could perform the work more effectively. Part of the waste is borne by the affirmative action beneficiarcies themselves. Note the estimate that half of blacks who enter law school never become lawyers. This is hardly surprising given the two hurdles they face: 3 years of law school, then the bar exam (which does not give racial credits). I would imagine that black medical school graduates face similar challenges. In the end, affirmative action is a crude form of covert welfare for those minorities who suffer from cognitive and cultural deficits. But, these deficits are not the excuse provided by the policy's apologists: they claim discrimination pervades our society (including the design of all standardized and IQ tests) and can only be sufficiently redressed by recourse to legally-mandated racism against those races who manifest higher intelligence and higher rates of economic success. Of course, one obvious irony here is that the Jews in America have faced uninterrupted racism throughout the last century (the form of the racism evolved from being in favor of whites initially, then in favor of blacks and hispanics), and rose to power in spite of it. Are the supposed benefits affirmative action contributes to social cohesion in this country worth the economic, social, and psychological costs of this transparent lie? And, if diversity is of such monumental importance that it overrides considerations of intellect and diligence, why doesn't Harvard admit lazy, half-witted whites to complement the diversity provided by all the lazy, half-witted blacks and Mexicans it admits? The implicit premise underlying these admissions policies is that certain races cannot engage in intellectual competition on an equal footing with whites and Asians--and, if this is the case, the choice faced by decision-makers would be whether to lower the standards for the intellectually sub-standard races or to exclude them from those educational institutions which confer the most power upon their graduates. Unfortunately, the imperative of lower standards seems to extend to the top of our government: witness Justice Clarence Thomas, who has been the least competent Justice on the Supreme Court since his confirmation, and Judge Sotomayor, who will finally offer Thomas some competition for this sad distinction.  So we witness the continuous corrupt degradation of the fine old ideal of individual merit, the ideal to which we owe most of the Western world's achievements and global leadership, the ideal that raised the moral value of the individual to a Judeo-Christian plane profoundly superior to the nihilistic oriental fantasy of the preemptive value of the group.

Too Much Dross

Most conservative writers these days pretty much just throw the kitchen sink at "Obama's policies"--many of which are simply a continuation of Bush's. But, you cannot wish away the financial crisis. You cannot reject decisive action in the face of it because that action happens to conflict with some narrow ideological prejudices. Even the Bush administration was constrained to engineer a massive government intervention in the financial system and to take over Fannie and Freddie. Why does the kitchen sink approach trouble me? The problem is that, by casting up such an indiscriminate cloud of details and false claims, it obscures the serious threats Obama's agenda poses; also, it confuses the general audience and discredits the sink-throwing sources. The Republicans have already cried wolf so many times in the last few months that when, his hour come round at last, the beast finally arrives (as surely he will)--no one will be paying attention. Instead of playing these childish ideological games, what the Republicans ought to do is to adopt a pragmatic approach to oppose forcefully two or three key policy threats--and, also, ideally, to concoct some form of constructive agenda of their own, which, at present, they seem, signally, to lack.

Perhaps, on the other hand, the propaganda strategy here is to so associate Obama with failure, incompetence, corruption, etc. so consistently, so insistently as to render his aura, the atmosphere he inhabits in the imagination, permanently infected and impervious to any rational defense. This may even work on a large portion of the idiocracy.
