war

 There's a war going on between low-intelligence people and high-intelligence people, and the low-intelligence people are winning. This needs to stop, and be reversed.

'best earth'


 




' . . . The one thing to keep in mind, through it all.'




This modest (but hopefully inspiring) little tract is available on Amazon as both ebook & paperback. Contains breathtaking nighttime NASA images of whole regions of the planet.

'Step back and look down.'

a thought experiment

So let’s run a little thought experiment using our fabulous ‘laboratory of the states.’ Let’s pick a couple small states—say New Hampshire and Vermont, cute little side-by-side New England states. Let’s say New Hampshire decided to try to become a high-IQ state. First off, they’d give everybody IQ tests. Then they would encourage (i.e., financially incentivize) high-IQ people to reproduce and discourage (financially disincentivize) low-IQ people from reproducing—not providing further welfare benefits for out-of-wedlock children, providing free hysterectomies, abortions, vasectomies, etc. Similarly, they would encourage high-IQ in-migration and low-IQ out-migration.

 

Then, just for the sake of argument, let’s say that left-wing, Vermont went in the opposite direction. They would also give everybody IQ tests but would use them to encourage low-IQ reproduction and discourage high-IQ reproduction. Similarly, they would encourage low-IQ in-migration and high-IQ out-migration. (No rational government would ever do this, of course, for obvious reasons.)

 

What would these two states look like after a couple generations? New Hampshire would be a civilized, prosperous first-world state, well-versed in the science and technology of the modern world, with great public schools and a low-to-nonexistent crime rate. Vermont, meantime,  would have become an impoverished, corrupt, crime-ridden third-world hellhole.

 

Do you doubt it?

affirmative action

 Affirmative action is a zero-sum game that selects less qualified people over more qualified people on the basis of irrelevant characteristics. It's counterproductive and immoral and should be abolished.
