Petraeus And The Infidelity Risk Curve

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Luke Ford

Chateau Heartiste: Tossing men and women together in the workplace is a recipe for dissolving marriages, sexually dispossessing beta males, and corraling women under the banner of a few industry captain alpha males. Men and women in a putatively monogamous society are simply not meant to be in each other’s company, away from family, all the day long and night. Is it any wonder, really, that female infidelity rates are now approaching that of men’s rates? The gender neutral workplace experiment has brought alpha males and fertile females together like no other arrangement yet devised by man. And it happened under everyone’s noses, because no one bothered to note that human nature is real, and it isn’t going anywhere soon.

There is a reason why newly minted wives rush their husbands out to the suburbs, and it’s not just to get their kids into good white schools: it’s to sequester their men from the sea of luscious young pussy that swims the streets of the cities. Similarly, most husbands are much happier when their wives either stay at home or work in jobs where they are mostly surrounded by other women or beta males, like teaching or accounting. The goal for each is the same: to reduce excessive alpha male/hot female temptations…

There are those tricky little trolls who will innocently(!) ask “Don’t you feel sorry for the wife? What did she do wrong?”

I do feel a twitch of pity for her, but it stops there. She did nothing “wrong”, in the Biblical or PC sense, but the fact that she obviously felt it reasonable to so fully let herself go is evidence that she cared not a whit for her husband’s animal desires, and was probably up to her ears in feminist ideology about the uselessness and evil of appealing to the visceral demands of men for physically attractive, slender lovers. Had she stayed thin (something which is entirely possible, barring very rare physiological ailments), she would have enjoyed more loving sexual attention from her husband. But she is undoubtedly a creature of the zany zeitgeist, and as such was likely imbued with latent hatred for the idea of pleasing one’s husband in the way that husbands prefer to be pleased.

There is also the matter of expectations that are inevitably placed on women who have managed to capture in unholy matrimony a rising star alpha male. The pressure to stay sexy and feminine will be much more strongly felt by a wife hitched to a valuable alpha male. After all, he has options most men don’t. The luxury of resting on her wifely laurels to scarf down a pint of Edy’s is not in the cards for such women. To put it mildly: Ladies, if you want the alpha male, be prepared to put in the hard work to keep him amused. If you don’t want that responsibility, then go marry a beta male who won’t have the SMV leverage to complain or seek alternate humanistic outlets for his needs.

Some practical applications of HBD

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Luke Ford

Link:

1. Immigration restriction. You need a certain number of high IQ people to keep a First World society going.
2. An end to affirmative action. Minority underperformance is not due to racism, so affirmative action is grossly unfair.
3. Discouraging dysgenics, i.e. not subsidizing single motherhood through welfare, regardless of disparate impact on minorities. See #1.
4. Shutting down movements to let minority prisoners out into society. (I’m open to other equally effective methods of controlling crime, but they should be applied to all, not just minorities.)
5. An end to blaming white racism for all the problems of the world.
5a. This may seem like mostly a minor annoyance. But really intellectual hygeine is reason enough to get rid of it. Forcing people to believe lies is generally corrupting.
5b. It prevents people from thinking seriously about solving the problems among low IQ groups. You can’t solve a problem unless you think clearly about its cause.

You could make a case for some of these things without recourse to HBD, but we all know how effective that has been. For example, you can’t just talk about IQ without talking about HBD. The disparities between high and low IQ racial groups just are there and are used to discredit the idea of IQ in general. These days you really have to quote chapter and verse with hard data to show you aren’t racist.

As for inferior, well that is a judgment call. In some important ways, blacks may be superior to whites and not just in regards to sports and celebrity. T. is Haitian and I’d note that Haitian art is just way better than anything done in America in the past 50 years or so.

Whites have created liberal modernity and it is not without its significant downsides, spiritual, artistic and even intellectual.

Of course, blacks and many of these other groups don’t seem very good at creating and maintaining a crime free, high tech society. Though I’d note that high levels of black crime and social dysfunction are at least partially a response to living in certain societies. I’ve visited St. Lucia, which is a very black place, and, up until the recent influx of tourodollars, it had been mostly crime free and is still relatively so. Blacks in the South up until the 1960s were relatively peaceful and well ordered too. But modernity + blacks seems to equal lots of crime and social dysfunction.

A Woman’s Walk Reveals Her Sex Life

Posted on September 5, 2015 by Luke Ford

REPORT: A new study reveals women who have orgasms walk differently from women who don’t – and you won’t believe what gives it all away!

As Fashion Week opens in New York City, those fabulous super models may be showing off more than just another set of designer duds. They could be giving us a bird’s eye view of their sex life …without even knowing it.

In fact, if new research out of Belgium is correct, the way a woman walks is a dead-giveaway of her degree of sexual satisfaction –including whether or not she’s regularly having orgasms.

The new study just published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests that women who regularly have vaginal orgasms walk differently from women who don’t – and it’s not all that hard to figure out which is which!

“In the sample of healthy young Belgian women (half of whom were vaginally orgasmic), a history of vaginal orgasm …was diagnosable at far better than chance level,” says lead study author Aurelie Nicholas, MA, of the Université Catholique de Louvain, in Belgium where the research was conducted.

So what was it the women who were orgasmic did that was different?

Well if you’re thinking they “walked sexy” – as in the old Marilyn Monroe hip swinging, or the obviously provocative Madonna-esque stances, guess again.

The orgasmic give-away say the researchers was closer to what you’re likely to see Heidi Klum or Giselle Bundchen doing on the Victoria Secret runway – walking with high energy and a kind of freedom of movement that signifies both sensuality and confidence.

“The discerning observer may infer a women’s experience [with] vaginal orgasm from a gait that comprises fluidity, energy, sensuality, freedom, and absence of both flaccid and locked muscles” say the researchers.

In other words, a woman that walks freely may be more open to her sexuality – and feel freer to express herself between the sheets. A woman whose gait is stiff, or whose muscles seem limp and out of condition, may be giving away the fact that she’s also not giving in to wild abandon in the bedroom.

Walk This Way
This is certainly not the first study to connect body movement to sexual activity. Indeed many researchers have suggested that we consciously – or unconsciously- convey our sexual desires by the way we walk, sit, stand and move, particularly in the presence of the opposite sex.

But in this study researchers say they go far deeper to analyze not just body language, but also attitude, sexual confidence and self-esteem.

In fact, the researchers contend that when compared to women who have had orgasm those who haven’t display more immature psychological defense mechanisms, express less satisfaction with their relationships, and less satisfaction with life in general. These women were also more likely to convert psychological problems into physical complaints – a phenomenon known as “somatization.”

Women who are able to achieve orgasm, however, not only walked with a freer, more open gait, they also displayed a more open attitude towards life in general.

The study involved Belgium college aged women who filled out a questionnaire on personal sexual behavior, including questions on orgasm. Ten women who had vaginal orgasms were selected along with 10 who reported they had not.

The 20 women were then videotaped walking normally, and their tapes were shown to 2 male professors of sexology and two female research assistants.

The reviewers assessed the way the women walked and moved, and based on that made a determination as to whether or not they believed they were experiencing orgasms.

Their assessments were then compared to the questionnaires filled out by the women.

The end result: The reviewers were able to determine which women were orgasmic over 81% of the time – which was a far greater percentage, say researchers, then brought about by mere chance.

So, what’s the moral of the story here: It’s not the height of your stilettos that matters – it’s how you walk in them that really counts!

As SPLC maps Confederate monuments, groups resist ‘greatest threat to our heritage’

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

Will the SPLC also want this Confederate Jew’s memorial eradicated?

My view is that all peoples, Jews and Gentiles, should be rooted in their traditions and bonded to their people and anyone who tries to disrupt that should be destroyed.

From AL.com: The Southern Poverty Law Center in August launched a campaign to build an interactive map of all parks, school mascots, and streets that honor the Confederacy and its leaders.

“The Confederate flag doesn’t just represent Southern ‘heritage,’ it’s a deeply divisive symbol used by racist groups, one what was raised above state capitols in the Deep South during the civil rights movement to show that they stood for white supremacy,” said SPLC Founder Morris Dees. “There’s no place for this or other symbols of the Confederacy in our public spaces.”

The SPLC is asking people to send in names of photos of “Confederate statues or monuments; flags; government seals; patches on government uniforms; the names of parks, streets, schools, military bases or counties; school mascots; and other examples.”

The group is also preparing a “a community action guide to help local communities reach consensus on removing publicly supported symbols that represent the slave-holding South.”

As Confederate flags continue to come down from government buildings and Civil War monuments are pulled from public places, more groups are resisting the change.

The Columbia, Tenn.-based Sons of Confederate Veterans Heritage Defense Fund raised $40,000 of its $100,000 goal as it fights “the greatest threat to our heritage in modern times.”

“The radical leftists who are driving this crisis are committed to the complete eradication of all things Confederate,” the site states.

Israelis, Settlers & Civil Rights

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

There’s nothing in Torah about modern politics and siding with the fringes against the core. There’s nothing in Torah about marching for civil rights. Jews didn’t work for blacks because they primarily cared about blacks (there’s no precedence for this in the Jewish tradition) but because they saw it (usually unconsciously) as in the self-interest of Jews that the fringes be strengthened.

When a tolerant and multi-cultural attitude clashes with Jewish self-interest, such as in the Jewish state (where the more Jewish it is, the stronger it is), the multi-cultural attitude is abandoned though its rhetoric may still be useful.

Israeli Terrorists, Born in the U.S.A.
By SARA YAEL HIRSCHHORNSEPT. 4, 2015
As far back as the 1990s, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, the founder and spiritual leader of the settlement of Efrat, seized upon this outlook, declaring, “I marched with Martin Luther King and feel very strongly about equal rights.” But, to him, settlers were now the victims. “We’re not fighting against an enemy who plays by the same rules as we do,” he argued. “Given the cruelty and barbarism of the Arabs to their own people, our ethical imperative is not to commit suicide.” He went so far as to compare the settlers to African-Americans during the civil rights movement. Another American settler activist, Yechiel Leiter, drew on Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address to illustrate that “independence and freedom have their price.”
Not only is this belief still intrinsic to the self-image of many mainstream American settlers, they have also learned the value of speaking fluent liberalese on the international stage. By translating Scripture into sound bites, Jewish-American settlers have played a pivotal role in the public relations rebranding of the Israeli settler movement — and these professed liberals are now helping to deflect attention from crimes committed by Jews.

WP: The Arab world’s wealthiest nations are doing next to nothing for Syria’s refugees

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

There’s almost nothing in the MSM coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis noting that there are many good reasons for wanting to keep these people out of your country.

If you want to know what a people are like, look at the country they made. If you want your country to turn into a version of Syria, import Syrians. If you want your country to turn into a version of Africa, import Africans. If you want your country to turn into a version of Mexico, import Mexicans.

Syria’s neighbors know what a disaster Syrians are, so they keep them out to the extent they can.

Washington Post: Like European countries, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors also have fears over new arrivals taking jobs from citizens, and may also invoke concerns about security and terrorism. But the current gulf aid outlay for Syrian refugees, which amounts to collective donations under $1 billion (the United States has given four times that sum), seems short — and is made all the more galling when you consider the vast sums Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. poured into this year’s war effort in Yemen, an intervention some consider a strategic blunder.

Putting Donald Trump On The Couch

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* The other thing that struck me was the odd claim that Trump is angry. I don’t pretend to know what Trump’s motivations are, but he is obviously having the time of his life. He is selling to people who are (justly) angry, but that is a different thing.

* Before reading Goldwag’s analysis of Trump, read Kevin MacDonald’s analysis of Freud.

* According to Goldwag’s logic, Israel is a seething mass of poor, poorly-educated, vastly insecure, compulsive, over-compensating Jews with small penises roiling with resentment at the entire world – Americans, latinos, Chinamen, Hindus, foreigners, Masons very much included – and run by finger-pointing demagogues.

* Why are they so afraid? Partially, because they know exactly what they have done to us and they know it was deliberate. They know they deserve to be cast down from their towers. It isn’t guilt, but it is the closest emotion they can feel that resembles guilt.

* Psychoanalyzing white christians is an old trick of the tribe. Google freud marx and jewish revenge. Richard Hofstadter wrote The paranoid style in American politics indicting American patriots as mentally unstable.

* Trump has a Jewish son in law, loves Israel, and Howard Stern thinks Trump is terrific. Upper class East Side Media Jews will hate Trump, while the Stern listeners and so on will love him.

* Ann Coulter has publicly quoted Steve before. I’m especially impressed that this statement all but explicitly mentions the Jewish angle.

It would be an enormous improvement if we as a society could publicly acknowledge that Jews are like any other cultural or ethnic identity group in that they have their own strengths, weaknesses, biases, interests, etc. Get it out in the open.

It’s a wonderful thing to see a vocal philosemite like Ann Coulter speaking realistically about the Jewish role in the culture. You can criticize people without hating them.

* Maybe Jews are like the GOP. Led by a massively powerful elite who have their own agenda, and with a lot of rank-and-file who mostly just go along. But if rank-and-file Jews start thinking that the white Gentiles are not really the biggest threat, and start thinking that the elite does not really have their best interests at heart….

Maybe Jews need a Trump.

(I remember once reading a post about Jews and class that said something to the effect of “The moneylenders have very different interests from the deli owners.”)

* Reagan also saved the lives of about six dozen people when he worked as a lifeguard as a young man. That’s a greater tangible good than was ever performed by Clinton, Bush, Obama, or virtually the entire Republican field of 2016, save perhaps Ben Carson and Rand Paul.

* Trump needs to be cautious of the neocons in the Republican party who are out to get him. Trump went on the Hugh Hewitt show and was unable to answer a question about the Mideast, a subject to which most Americans are indifferent. Hewitt is a neocon and cares more about the security of Israel than the security of America.

Will Israelis Feel Guilt About Blocking Syrian Refugees?

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Since Jews have spent the last half century reminding Americans (and more recently Canadians) of the ‘Voyage of the Damned’ (MS St Louis) one can only imagine the terrible guilt generations of Israelis are going to feel about denying refuge to similarly unfortunate Syrians.

* According to Wikipedia, the Arab Spring started 5 years ago in December 2010, and in June 2012 the U.N. declared Syria to be in a state of civil war, which I guess resulted from the Arab Spring. I haven’t followed any of this closely at all, but wasn’t the Arab Spring initially thought to be a good thing?

The Obama Years

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* The Obama Years:

Wages – down.
Budget deficits – way up.
Homelessness – way way up.
Middle East – in flames.
Food costs – way up.
Test scores – down.
Murders – up

It’s like livin’ in a dream…

* It’s worse than the NYT is even capable of understanding. The present illuminates the past much more than the past illuminates the present. The all-too-clear view we have of black behavior now explains the “racism” of segregationists in the distorted view we have of back then. It’s also ironic that keeping that image of the past luridly alive in the minds of black Americans fuels black bigotry.
Such as the extreme example Bryce Williams, crazy and stupid, seizes on the Narrative and acts out; media steps in, explains his behavior naturally follows from slavery, Jim Crow, etc (indeed, his behavior is really our own fault–blowback); and a thousand more fools are radicalized and handed a rationalization both for their own failures and the ensuing actions their latent bigotry is already encouraging. Rinse and repeat.

* White Southern segregationists in the ’50′s and ’60′s tried to warn us that this social experiment wouldn’t work. From hindsight their warnings made more sense than all the preposterous propaganda we see now intended to excuse black behavior in the current, observable world.

* That was when blacks were at peak good behavior. Imagine what they would think of them now.

* Those folks on the “wrong side of history” were quite right.

* That’s exactly how I’ve been reading our “racist past” recently. It’s amazing to read the accounts of whites from the 19th century and early 20th century about blacks.

The crime, the off the handle behavior, shiftiness. They even knew enough about blacks to know not all conducted themselves in such a manner but that it was best for all to be apart.

I’ve begrudgingly come to the conclusion that Jim Crow was a response to observed behavior.

* I was talking with my wife tonight about Donald Trump and his appeal. She isn’t particularly politically aware, but even she remarked that the last 7 and a half years have seemingly made the racial problems in our country worse. Her reasoning was: well, maybe things were bad for black people 8 years ago, but their position certainly hasn’t improved, and at least people weren’t being murdered on live TV for being white.

I’d like to think that normal, blue-pilled people are starting to catch on.

* The point is that America’s racial history is meant to be a perpetual, unresolvable Weight around the neck of American society. Unresolvable, unknowable, and never meant to be resolved, but intended, as needed, to push whatever agenda The New York Times Editorial Board and Carlos Slim desire.

* The NY Times condemns the “ruthlessly effective” (which I guess is now a bad thing) border controls in Australia. For some reason, such harsh language is never applied to Israel, of course, which sends its African migrants to Uganda and Sweden, and even Ethiopian Jews are forcefully injected with Depo-Provera long term birth control.

Anyway, The New York Times reassuringly informs the reader the “world’s war zones are all but certain to continue to churn out an extraordinary number of refugees and economic migrants in the years ahead.”

In other words, THIS is just the beginning of an ETERNAL flow of EXTRAORDINARY number of migrants and there is LITERALLY NOTHING that can be done about it; unless of course, you are Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates; South Korea; Japan; Taiwan; Singapore; China; Mexico; all of Africa and all of South America…

* When Trump was in Alabama, Dave Weigel, a reporter for the Washington Post, tweeted a transcript of a convo he had with a farmer in Alabama.

The farmer said something to the effect of ‘growing up we were taught that they’re ni***rs and there are black people’.

Of course most folks went ballistic about his use of n-word, while missing how instead of condemning all blacks he knew enough about them to distinguish between a horribly behaved underclass and other blacks.

The Southern white due to proximity has been at the forefront of race relations in this country. It’s ironic that their opinions are now ignored or condemned.
