But race is really extended family, successful families have a common culture and either have or maintain a limit on innovation in that culture. That’s the dynamic of success, a cultural whipping-in for more coordinated action. Genetic likeness can only help.
I suppose the truth of the bulk of the essay depends on how often war upends the steady transmission of culture. Are we formed by rapine and battle or by trade and work? The answer to that might be different for different races.
It’s the “working together in true communion” that’s the tricky bit. Look at this little world of comments you have right here. Someone got ostracised! Was it bad culture or incompatible temperament, bad genes? But now we’re one happy family communion, with a stern and just dad.
We had an ex-traveller family where I grew up. Endless trouble, but couldn’t ostracise them: council houses, benefits etc. Others with similar character married into them. Men of power, unfortunately!
Thank you for this! I think there is many people in alt right movements who talk about racial purity and this is an interesting perspective that isn't simply politically correct virtue signalling but again in search of truth.
Jordan is a conservative. You are hardly being irrational in your own arguments, although you are a Catholic, which is a belief system. You are probably better read than he is, but I see you both as fighting the same battle against the same enemy. You are maybe more of a loner, which is not a criticism.
I don't share his belief that people with bad ideas can simply be argued out of them. That makes assumptions about human nature that don't fit the facts. I have an upcoming article on Pascal that goes into this in more detail. Some people shy from truth like vampires from sunlight.
OK, but if you think that good ideas will not replace bad ones, what is your approach ? I would say that in science and technology, good ideas win. In politics, bad ideas often win, at least in the short term, and many of us do not learn from history
Ultimately, history shows war, not debate, defeats bad ideas. Either that or, in the long run, reality resists them, e.g., the Soviet Union.
Scientists, like farmers and plumbers, get checked by reality immediately. Intellectuals' errors can take a long time to show, but small mistakes in the beginning can lead to enormous ones in the end.
I have experienced this to be true. Arguments will be met with denouncements. (Incidentally, engaging with your work has honed my strength in such situations)
Congo is 95%+ Christian, and Japan is 1% Christian. Completely different quality of life that is totally unrelated to Christianity. Also ebonics exists because Africans cannot fully adopt the linguistic part of Western people. This article is retarded tbh.
You don't get it at all. The 'quality of life' was high in decadent Rome. The elites had lots of comfort, all the male prostitutes they wanted and the economy was booming. Luxury breeds pride.
'Retarded' is not an argument, and carrying on like that will get you banned. Behave.
as if i give a shit about being banned from a page deconstructing what it means to be White, as if we dont hear that shit constantly already. the post has like 5 likes dude, get over yourself. this is such a cope for the congo being Christian and having cannibalism.
Even the most leftist and anti-White people will partake in White Flight once the quality of life degrades enough. Look at the exodus from the big cities as they are flooded with non-Whites.
Knowland Knows--what an absolute blessing! Bravo. Always a blast to read and watch your content. Cheers!
I strongly agree with everything said in this article.

See Benedict's remark. The human race is one family, and Christianity was the common culture.

Right. And that's the bit Catholicism solved.
Christianity, the origin of globohomo and its moral hegemony over The West such that Whites feel immoral taking their own side.
Cope!

I think you mis-represent Jordan Peterson rather. His main theme is to encourage competence in a man. Watch his interview with Cathy Newman.
No. I have added his tweet to the article so you can see. That faith in rationalism is central to liberalism.

Reason is not the default, it is a virtue.
“God created us without us, but he did not will to save us without us.”

'What it means to be White' to you is 'quality of life': Netflix, childlessness, sodomy and social media likes. Bread and circuses.
Now you are just making assumptions of me because you are upset I dont buy your egalitarian bullshit. Thats not an argument.
I am making assumptions about you because you can't punctuate properly and mentioned the number of likes the post had as if it was somehow relevant.
Even the most leftist and anti-White people will partake in White Flight once the quality of life degrades enough. Look at the exodus from the big cities as they are flooded with non-Whites.
The 'White Flight' is from existence itself. Look at the fertility rate.
You don't get it. Whites aren't bothering to proliferate. As in decadent Rome, children are seen as impeding 'quality of life'.
You are now blocked for being insulting and being unable to tell the difference between 'its' and 'it's'.
i shared this article on a right wing forum. the response was cancer. the west is doomed.
