The Rise of Western Civilization, from A-(almost) Z |
|
|
Posted by JayMan on Sat Apr 28 09:02:27 2012 Where did Western Civilization come from? Here's the story of its origin, as told by HBD Chick and summarized by me, at my blog:http://jayman.blog.com/2012/04/28/an-hbd-summary-of-the-foundations-of-modern-civilization/. |

Posted by cortelyounext on Sat Apr 28 14:19:11 2012, in response to Re:, posted by Rockparkman on Sat Apr 28 13:46:56 2012. idiotic sportsThat statement is the very definition of an oxymoron. The following salient which means notable excerpt from my post 280908Z APR12 clearly explains the fallacy of your reasoning and should rid you once and for all of the notion that sports is somehow marginalized when it comes to the betterment of the human condition and other things like that. You need to come correct Rockparkman, and as always, thanks for your active participation in The Rise of Western Civilization thread. "It should be evident by now that I know a lot about sports and stuff like that but little else. To the extent I am not too bright it should come as no surprise that I am ignorant..." |

Posted by WillD on Sat Apr 28 16:21:14 2012, in response to Re: HBD, posted by Olog-hai on Sat Apr 28 15:57:15 2012. So which is it? Do guns kill people or do people kill people with guns?By the logic you've displayed on this subject it's clear that you blame the tool for the damage done by the person wielding it and thus believe guns kill people. HBD is merely a tool, and one which does not necessarily serve to control or kill people. Instead it can serve, with other sociological theories, to provide a deeper understanding of our behavior on the macro scale. I can't say I'm sold on the conclusions they draw, but to dismiss those conclusions out of hand is simply ignorant. |

Most will not understand HBD for what it means and what it doesn't.Those considered, it is your opinion that we behave as if this stuff isn't true, even though it is, for society's own good? That's a serious question. |

I basically "believe" in HBD but I find it bleak and wish it weren't true. But facts are facts regardless of how they make us feel. It might make me feel better to believe that my grandmother is in heaven and we will someday be reunited, and in a loving God, but I know it's all bullshit told to children to make them sleep better at night. |

Has Steve Sailer ever offered counter arguments for any reason other than to refute them? And theres too much emphasis on the negative HBD characteristics of non-whites. And what about the biological principle that generic diversity is superior? That doesn't seem to come up often with HBDers from what I've seen. I don't read them often so maybe I'm wrong. |

First, certainty can't really be attained without putting knowledge out there for more research to be done to test the ideas.As well, thanks to genomic sequencing we pretty much are as certain as we reasonably expect to be, as genetic links to behavioral differences have been found. Even if all the other pieces of evidence are tentative individually, the genetic links serve as a proof-of-concept that essentially validates the rest. Even then, if you fear that the knowledge would be misused if it were out, then what difference would the added certainty bring, other than to embolden whatever misuse you have in mind? |

Posted by JayMan on Sat Apr 28 18:05:51 2012, in response to Re: HBD, posted by Easy on Sat Apr 28 17:25:04 2012. Has Steve Sailer ever offered counter arguments for any reason other than to refute them?Yes, there are plenty of unknowns. And even if the "HBD'ers" themselves don't offer counter arguments, there are plenty of detractors out there to do the job—who indeed serve a useful purpose, as they perform essential criticism to allows to be more certain of our conclusions. And theres too much emphasis on the negative HBD characteristics of non-whites. I agree. I am more than happy to point out the flaws of Whites, and the strengths of other groups where relevant. Most of the HBD crowd is a right-leaning group and too much conservative rubbish gets mixed in (not to mention the actual White nationalists and racists in the crowd). And what about the biological principle that generic diversity is superior? Well that depends on the context. In terms of robustness against unknown environmental changes/calamities, most races have enough genetic variability within them to accomplish that goal. As well, individuals from all races have contributed positively thanks their group-typical strengths (some more than others). |

Posted by WillD on Sat Apr 28 18:07:46 2012, in response to Re: HBD, posted by Easy on Sat Apr 28 16:57:59 2012. Yeah, I'd say that's true. HBD does seem to be gripped by the same sort of ethnocentric confirmation bias that lead us down the road to environmental determinism being the go-to sociological theory despite excusing a whole host of simply racist practices prior to WWII.But of course even if HBD is just environmental determinism in its most evolved form and it turns out to be every bit as incorrect as its predecessor, that does not excuse Olog's hypocritical dismissal of it on the grounds that the tool is to be blamed for its use. |

I can paint like Edward Hopper who was born in Nyack - I'll post some of my work at a time and place of my choosing I mean it. To better illustrate my point, here is one of my favorite paintings. It is called Early Sunday Morning by Edward Hopper (b. Nyack). |

YOu obviously forgot what the left was like from 2000-2008. |
