Just because they\u2019ve been here from day 1, I\u2019m pretty sure if you came here as a slave, I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019d feel excluded from society, just the fact that they are there doesn\u2019t make you feel included<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: No, they had a place in society, it wasn\u2019t a good place, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: OK, but generally when someone says something is inclusive, they don\u2019t mean just a place &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: I never said anything was inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: I thought you said included. My bad.<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: They were a part of it, but inclusive is a particularly ideologically loaded word. It means something to progressives. They were still part of  that society, and they had a particular role, and it wasn\u2019t a good role, and I completely agree obviously with the abolition of Jim Crow and slavery and all this nonsense. But the point is, from the position we\u2019re at now, Western birthrates are actually declining quite rapidly, and it looks like this could actually be a bad thing in the long run. So the question is, is our society worth continuing, and then it\u2019s like OK, how do we continue society, well we have to make the voluntary choice to have, y\u2019know, at least 2-3 children each. So is that worth us doing? Is it a good idea? Because if it is a good idea, if we do think that maybe the West actually figured morality out better than the rest of the world, we do have an obligation to keep that going because otherwise we\u2019re gonna get people who are not believers in western values, who do not come from western cultures, who are just simply going to exist longer than we will and will basically forget about us when we\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: I\u2019m super curious, where does that obligation to continue society come from?<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: Our moral judgement that our society is a good society.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: Where do those moral judgements come from? Because if we\u2019re gonna make this argument, we gotta go real foundational here.<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: Our thoughts. Our own moral perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: So let\u2019s say that you have a family, and this family, a husband and wife, these two people wanna be programmers, you think that you have the moral authority to tell them, no, you are going to have children, because you have to, because we have an obligation to continue western society &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: That\u2019s a false dichotomy.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: OK, OK, let me soften that a little. Let\u2019s say that you have a society full of people that could better allocate themselves into jobs where they would be personally happier, do you think you have the moral authority to push so much kind of cultural norms to these people that some of them decide to have children instead?<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: I think that we can have people who procreate and work at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: Well yeah, but it seems like given the option to choose to have children, people seem not to if they have the ability not to. That seems to be, I mean for all that Nick talks about natural choices, that seems to be naturally what happens, if you look at countries &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: That\u2019s not natural at all, that\u2019s totally artificial &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Asmongold: Don\u2019t you think that\u2019s an outcome of the current economic climate?<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: No, this is a well observed phenomenon, as countries enter first world status people just have less children, they don\u2019t need to have as many children to populate &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Except for Israel, Israel\u2019s birthrate is going up, but, nevermind that there are&#8211;<br \/>\n[HUBBUB]<\/p>\n<p>Destiny: For one second, if we could not focus on fucking Jewish people, I know it\u2019s real hard for you Nick &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: I\u2019m more with Destiny here &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Hassan: Before we get into foundational philosophy, I just wanna really understand what you mean when you talk about Western civilization. Can you point to a specific example that does not include other cultures and other civilizations and other technological achievements, created in, like, the Islamic culture for example, in the Golden age of Islam, that the Western civilization has built itself upon.<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: Hassan, I\u2019m not saying that Western civilization has not been influenced \tby other civilizations.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan: It\u2019s not just influence. I mean, this is how it works, we\u2019ve always had globalism, we\u2019ve always had globalization, as a consequence of trade, wars.<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: I agree, people always fought with each other, and traded with one another. Humans move, yes, I agree.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan: Ok, so when you talk about the preservation of Western civilization, and you talk about birthrates&#8230; [unrelated moderator interjection]&#8230; more importantly the thing I am trying to understand is, why are we trying to preserve civilization or western civilization or why are we trying to make sure that like, mankind continues is an interesting conversation I guess, maybe, it\u2019s not to me. What I am specifically trying to understand right now is why we\u2019re talking about birthrates without talking about the actual factors that contribute to birthrates declining. We know that technological achievement is one of them, sociological status is one of them, and we see this with like, immigrant cultures that are also coming in, or immigrants that are coming into like, American society, and integrating into American society, and by the third generation completely adapting, and their birthrates adjusting to the existing ethnic groups that are already living in America, or in Western civilization in general. This is consistent across time, and it\u2019s consistent in all of these other countries. So when we talk about the declining of the birth rates, it\u2019s not a matter of \u2018other people are coming in and replacing the original ethnicity of that country\u2019 it\u2019s more so that people are fucking less, quite frankly, because they have more access to technology, and they are wealthier, and they use condoms and shit. So how do you want to reverse that if you actually want to reverse that?<\/p>\n<p>Sargon: I don\u2019t really care about the ethnicity, it\u2019s not really the question. Because what you\u2019ve identified, correctly, is that this is a malaise that is gonna affect humanity, eventually, when all nations will eventually reach a sort of level of technological expertise and wealth, where the question is really, do we have a responsibility to what we\u2019ve inherited, to pass that down to someone, or are we allowed to be selfish enough to be the end-point of that.<\/p>\n<p>[Five full seconds of silence]<\/p>\n<p>Asmongold: That\u2019s a big question.<\/p>\n<p>[Discussion moves on to next segment]<\/p>\n<p>Kyle writes: I think this exchange is really interesting and significant. Sargon basically advances an ethnicity-neutral pronatalism that has the potential to radically improve the West\u2019s prospects, and gets very little pushback on that front from the left-wing members of the panel. There are certainly antinatalist sentiments on the left, but they are vastly weaker than anti-racist sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>In the debate, Nick Fuentes\u2019 most radical stance (which probably got him kicked off twitch) was that he does not believe interracial relationships are healthy, and that they should not be depicted in film. I question the necessity of that stance. First of all, I don\u2019t think it is possible to reverse societal acceptance of interracial relationships, particularly in a country as multiracial and free as the US.<\/p>\n<p>Second of all, it seems to indicate some underlying misunderstanding of the nature and implications of racial differences. There are average differences in important traits between races. Moreover, when someone differs radically from their parent population, their offspring will tend to regress to that parent population\u2019s mean. This is a matter of great importance in predicting and understanding the cause of gaps between races, between ethnicities, and between classes.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of this can be taken to imply, even remotely, that a child with inherited characteristics from any major human population is better off not existing. People who have children should be celebrated for bringing new life into the world. To reject that principle is to take on a misanthropic and utterly self-destructive view of the world. If you claim that the world would be better off without entire demographics in it, you are revealing some combination of mental illness, misanthropy, and lack of social awareness. The worm immediately turns on you &#8211; why should someone who is so unconscious of the values of their country, and so harsh in their condemnation, not be condemned and excluded themselves?<\/p>\n<p>Fundamentally, the moral and practical response to dysfunction in certain demographics, is to point out correctly that the burden will rest on those demographics to sort out their issues. If they never sort them out, then the burden rests on them forever. It is for each individual, and each organized group to attempt to sort out their future as well as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Some people and some groups will be future-oriented. They will know that all important human traits are highly heritable, and maximize the chance that they have children who will flourish. They will understand that if they encourage this behavior among people associated with them, their children\u2019s future will be even better than it would otherwise be. They will freely consider technologies, rules, and contracts that will take advantage of the opportunities afforded by knowledge of the high heritability of important traits, and the immense value brought by children.<\/p>\n<p>Other people and groups will be less future-oriented. They will ignore the realities of heritability, and ignore the need for children to make the future bright. One can only hope that they live great, adventure-filled lives. Those whose children will walk the paths between their graves can only wish them the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Rowland writes: Stream got 28k live viewers on twitch!
