* Steve wrote in 2002: “I’m Catholic; I’ve always assumed I’m biologically half-Jewish (I’m adopted); and I’m an Anglophile and an admirer of WASP culture. So, I wish everyone well.”
* Steve Sailer writes: “When I started writing professionally a little over a quarter of a century ago, I seriously considered using a pseudonym like Eric Blair / George Orwell. But I couldn’t figure out how to cash checks made out to a pseudonym, so I eventually junked the idea. But I generally wish I had gone with a pen name, for reasons that are obvious at this point to me, but I won’t mention them because they are so obvious.”
* Nov. 13, 2016, I blogged: “Over the past year, I’ve emailed MSM journalists I know that they should write or assign profiles of Steve Sailer because of his importance to this election. None of them even bothered to reply to my suggestion.”
Bud says: Cofnas: race realism justified Jewish overrepresentation. Okay… but race realism also implies blacks will always be criminal and weak financially, Hispanics will always be behind and lazy, Indians will always be deceptive, etc. So if we’re going to deploy Cofnas’s argument, we need to do it in all spheres. The resentment about Jewish overrepresentation will end exactly when the borders are closed, affirmative action is ended, and a solid white majority is secured. But *until then* — until the whole package comes together — it’s hard to see the Cofnas argument doing the work you hope it does. And of course, as the overrepresented people, we should start to see Jewish lobbying groups rapidly working to restore a solid white majority. And then, believe me!, the resentment will vanish. Doesn’t that seem like a square deal?
I really like Jennifer (Church of Entropy). I’ve been really dragged out of my comfort zone these past couple years, thinking about group interests and political antagonism, etc. — I was basically a Hindu/Buddhist mystic 10 years ago, and a Christian mystic 5 years ago. Now I’m a debased political pundit. When she said at the end last night that she knows who you are… that was exactly my speed. I actually admire how she’s able to stay herself and keep bringing her esoteric interests to the table. The Jews are fascinating, but when you’re not Jewish, it gets exhausting… I’ve never felt once like god was calling me to convert, especially since I’d have to get my wife and kids to convert with me or else everything would go haywire, and that’s not happening. I guess the only question is whether you want to let her take us in these alternative directions. She’s great at handling the bantz.
I’m deep into Evola and have been re-reading my copy of The Upanishads (I love the Easwaran translation)… it’s the perennial monotheist Jesus that I love best. Ever read the Gospel of Judas?
Judas [said] to [Jesus], “I know who you are and where you have come from. You are from the immortal realm of Barbelo. And I am not worthy to utter the name of the one who has sent you.”
You’re a child of god, Luke! Jen and I know it.

* The most natural way for human beings to calm themselves when they are upset is by clinging to another person. This means that patients who have been physically or sexually violated face a dilemma: They desperately crave touch while simultaneously being terrified of body contact.
The mind needs to be reeducated to feel physical sensations, and the body needs to be helped to tolerate and enjoy the comforts of touch. Individuals who lack emotional awareness are able, with practice, to connect their physical sensations to psychological events. Then they can slowly reconnect with themselves…
* “The roots of resilience . . . are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other.” (Diana Fosha)
* We could only conclude that for abused children, the whole world is filled with triggers. As long as they can imagine only disastrous outcomes to relatively benign situations, anybody walking into a room, any stranger, any image, on a screen or on a billboard might be perceived as a harbinger of catastrophe.
* If you have no internal sense of security, it is difficult to distinguish between safety and danger. If you feel chronically numbed out, potentially dangerous situations may make you feel alive. If you conclude that you must be a terrible person (because why else would your parents have you treated that way?), you start expecting other people to treat you horribly. You probably deserve it, and anyway, there is nothing you can do about it. When disorganized people carry self-perceptions like these, they are set up to be traumatized by subsequent experiences.
"This guy knows all the gossip, the ins and outs, the lashon hara of the Orthodox world. He’s an [expert] in... all the inner workings of the Orthodox world." (Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff)
