And this discovery, especially in later life, can do strange things to a person. Look at Christopher Hitchens, for one. And our own Steve Sailer, another.

That anybody would take Gladwell seriously is a mystery to me. When he’s right, he’s trivially so, when he’s not trivial, he’s quite obviously wrong and out of his depth…
But there are times where celebrity trumps logic or accountability.
Steve, you almost killed me! This almost caused a grand mal seizure from laughter-induced overpressure in brain capillaires:
However, there is a sense in which Malcolm is a true outlier. He himself succeeds — he may well be the highest grossing print journalist in America — not because he understands the common mind, but because he has the common mind. His inability to think critically means that he’s always sincerely gee-willikers enthusiastic about whatever snake oil he’s infatuated with at the moment. His lack of skepticism makes him a natural for the self-help circuit.
Nailed it! And, unfortunately, this book too will be a best-seller.

There might be errors in the data. Colorado’s total obesity rate is about 55% in the last plot, but the table at the end has it at about 60%.
TGGP- It occurred to me that the kind of person who joins a cult, or converts away from a mainstream religion they were raised in, is going to be a somewhat atypical character, perhaps more intelligent but also more eccentric.
There’s another possible explanation this. Cults self select for healthy and productive members. The entire point of a cult is to exploit people who can contribute money and/or useful labour. Cults aren’t interested in recruiting members that they’ll have to support, in other words they’re usually are people they won’t recruit.
On an unrelated note in my personal experience New Agers are more delusional than religious people. They’re more likely to believe in lots of crazy things (usually several conspiracy theories to boot) and they have a healthy distrust of reason. Most cults nowadays seem to seek out recruits from the New Age/Alternative Medicine (Homeopathy seems to be the big draw these days) crowd than from extreme forms of exsisting religions.
I do not fully agree with your the statement, The reason being is we have to ask our selves how far is the U.S welling to go in order to help South Korea?
The answer is in fact quit complecated; in dealing with the two party system over here.
If the Republicans rule I could see some help but not much even though they are warmonger they don not consider South Korea in much light or importants, However if the Demoricats or in power it might be different it is hard to say so in reality you are most right even though I wish you were wrong.
P.S It also depends on factors such as how far china is welling to go as well. Since I know so little about China I can not state what I think on this part.
Not all wars here in the U.S are populare by the people at large espically the Iraq war but people are stupid sometimes espically when it comes to the party system here in the States. Being that if my father voted republican then I will for them. I would only hope that if a war happened in Korea that the U.S will keep its word to S. Korea.
And the women's long jump was one by a white blonde woman.
The long jump physique and the sprinter physique seem to have diverged. The long jumpers all are very lean — presumably to minimize weight. While the sprinters are increasingly jacked looking.
Bolt is leaner, and better, than the other sprinters, but he still looks much more muscular than the long jumpers do.
The female long jumpers were also very long and lean compared to the muscled female sprinters.
Also — could the pounding from sprint training be increasing bone density of the sprinters? I imagine the ideal long jumper has plenty of muscle, but the bone density of a bird. Would mild osteoperosis actually help a long jumper?
I still want to see an explanation for why the east asians do so well in the ultra-precision sports – badminton, ping pong, shooting, archery, diving, gymnastics.
If there's a sport that requires either:
1) Be extremely still
2) Extreme, but confined, hand-eye coordination
3) Extremely precise and repeated body motions.
then it seems east asians would be good at it.
Any thoughts on the widespread use of “Kinesio” tape in the Olympics? It’s impossible not to notice how many athletes have covered themselves with these oddly irregular strips of tape. My assumption is it’s a quack fad and the new magnetic bracelet, but it seems to be incredibly popular among the athletes.
I find Tyler Cowen’s The Great Stagnation to be depressingly convincing. Peter Thiel makes similar arguments that we have hit a serious lull in innovation in recent decades.
We (America, Europe, etc) are poorer than we thought we were — largely due to technological stagnation and rising energy costs. We borrowed massively and promised tremendously generous pensions based on projections of continued innovation and rising wealth that did not occur.
So now we have to painfully adjust to the reality of our societies being much poorer than we thought we were going to be.
Politicians can be counted on to kick the can down the road as long as possible because voters don’t want to be told the truth. This will just make the inevitable adjustment more painful.
I expect US politics to get even more vicious as we fight over the scraps of a diminishing pie. I see that the Medicare vs Obamacare debate is already being framed in starkly racial terms – old white people vs young brown people.
Wouldn’t genotype be a better word to talk about heritable traits? If a gene is a concrete, physical thing, it’s only logical people want to know what genes are being talked about. If you talk about the genotype for this or that trait, however, you’re abstracting the specific genetic makeup for it and focusing on its inheritance.

Nothing will change.
Only thing to do is avoid blacks — especially the young male ones.
Are blacks so violent primarily because of their low average IQ?
How does avg black violent crime rates compare to underclass whites with IQs in the 80-85 range?
Seems like blacks are still more violent than dumb whites, though the gap is not as great.
Uhhh. Maybe I missed this in the article, but Fred lives in Mexico. So if he is so against diversity, then why doesn’t he go back to where he came from? He wants an all white America, so fine. Why can’t Mexican have an all Mexican Mexico.
Not the first time whites have been hypocritical with their do as I say not as I do rules. But introspection is not a defining white trait now is it?
This thread is hilarious. The white people here will stop at nothing to defend white behavior no matter how egregious.
To say that Fred is married to a Mexican and can speak spanish and does not riot in Mexico is irrelevant. I can easily find a Mexican immigrant and say the same thing about him, so who than has the right to immigrate?
My experience with gringos in Mexico is that they live in gringo enclaves, do a lot of drugs, and sleep with a lot of whores. Not exactly my idea of a good neighbor.
White people always try to paint themselves as victims, and ask why the white man always has to be the victim of diversity. Try being a touch more introspective and think about things. It’s white people who are trying to intrude in on other cultures. The fed, democracy, McDonald’s, feminism, naval bases, and it’s white people who punish others who do not conform to their view of the world. The fact that elite whites invite other peoples into their country to work in hotels and cook food says more about the white condition and less about minorities.
To white people everywhere. Quit trying to force your culture and your people on others and then people may return the favor and respond in kind. #golden rule
@doombuggy
Wow. How reactionary. No one says white people needs to be punished. Just quit interfering with other peoples, and you will find that they will do the same for you.
How enlightening that you see not being able to build naval bases and spread feminism as punishing white people.
The wealth white people created was mainly due to the industriousness of whites from many generations ago. Since then, white people have made the CHOICE to have a more leisurely lifestyle that includes immigration (so you don’t need to get your hands dirty or study math) and taxing other peoples through dollar hegemony.
Something I’ve noticed with cattle is that first born are usually physically smaller than subsequent offspring. Stands to reason there could IQ differences too.
Stop giving them food and AIDS medicine and the problem will take care of itself.
Do you know your country only give us in benefits less than 1/4 of the money they take from us? We are the piggy bank for you.

Tell me why instead of targeting nukes against America Russia doesn’t have intel operatives within the NSA and/or CIA to blow pedogate wide open. There’s enough dirt and corruption to topple the U.S. government and corrupt Sessions, FBI, NSA other than blackmailing politicians won’t act.
You think there’s no dirt on McCain, Graham, Schumer? Please.
Intel doesn’t even have to involve false flags.
Truth would be more destructive than any nuclear device. I’m disgusted with weapons of mass destruction to be used against civilian populations.
How does India even have a Spatial program? they sure are more ambitious, despiste backwardness, they are among few countries that could go to Space, along United States, China, Russia, European Union or Japan. But yeah, among “spatial powers” they are the ones with lowest per capita.
This was one of those moments when one has to wonder just how stupid the Democrats really are?
This was an obvious loser. Picture the TV ads …… Show pictures of Americans harmed by the shutdown. Perhaps of a federal employee, maybe an anti-terrorist specialist, wondering how she’ll pay the mortgage if the paycheck doesn’t come. Then the announcer comes on and says “and the Democrats inflicted this pain on hard-working Americans to favor illegal immigrants.”
At this point, one has to start to wonder if the Democrats have a mole in their high organization that is secretly working for the Republicans. Or are the Democrats now so completely out of touch with the American people? Maybe Schumer needs to stop having dinner with Wall Street bankers long enough to spend a little time with ordinary Americans? Either way, this was an obvious, brain-dead, sure-loser of an issue for the Democrats to fight over.
I am a 25 years old White Mexican but don’t wanna children in Mexico, I wanna help majority White countries in the future, I might immigrate to United States or the European Union, to marry a girl from there between my 30 and 35 years. I don’t see the point to continue in Mexico all my life, I see no hope in that country.
Hollywood has a Black fetish, Hispanics have a demographic advantage over Blacks since now they are the biggest minority in numbers while Asians are the wealthiest minority and one would think demography and / or economy would give more Hollywood representation of them over Blacks, but the contrary keeps happening.
Yes, but Asians are overrepresented in villain roles in Hollywood films. Not major villains, mind you, those roles go to the hated evil blond whitey (usually with a British, German, or Slavic accent). But you see way more than 5% of faceless villains who are mowed down by the protagonists being Asians in American films.

Señor Giraldo, le escribo en español porque sé que lo habla y entiende, y pido disculpas al resto de lectores por no hacerlo en inglés.
Dice usted ser Licenciado en Historia de Europa y sin embargo ha ido usted a escoger a Tomás de Torquemada para su artículo. Debe usted haberse tragado una buena dosis de Leyenda Negra española al haber estudiado su licenciatura en la pérfida Albión.
Sepa usted que la Inquisición Española fue la menos lesiva de toda Europa, con aproximadamente 3000 ejecuciones en 350 años. Y la iglesia Católica no admitía como prueba válida una confesión obtenida mediante tortura. Las ejecuciones por brujería fueron anecdóticas y prácticamente inexistentes en España; a diferencia de, por ejemplo, Alemania en donde la histeria de la brujería ejecutó en la hoguera a más de 30000 en muy poco tiempo. Lea usted al hispanista Henry Kamen y estudie e investigue la Inquisición en Europa y, después, compare. Puede empezar en el Archivo de Salamanca: la Inquisición Española está documentada.
Quizás después encuentre otros nombres que hubieran encajado mejor en su artículo. Por ejemplo Calvino y su reforma con la quema indiscriminada y sin juicio previo de católicos en Suiza. País, por cierto, cuya prosperidad radica en la sangre de sus naciones vecinas. O quizás Leopoldo II de Bélgica y su genocidio de negros en el Congo. Puedo seguir pero no terminaría nunca. Un saludo cordial.

….«And they wouldn’t stand for a conventional war on their territory because they know they would lose.»…
You don`t explain why the russians would lose conventional war on their territory.
Whitout explanation you seem like another american excepcionalist.
Anyway you are very wrong.
Let me start by saying the preponderance of evidence points to the USA being the motivating force behind this attack. However this article by Hirsch seems too perfectly described to be true.
If he had a single or few source(s) as he claims then the level of detail he includes is beyond the possible scope of such a limited information source. The alleged knowledge of Norwegian involvement and motivation, the claims of the partial truths reported to Sweden and Denmark, the internicence conflict between the different elements of the CIA and DOD as well the reported back and forth dispute between various US political figures all indicate an intimate and multi- layered understanding of the situation that could not possibly be provided by a few sources.
It sounds like an initial source provided the basic, and truthful claims of the US involvement in the attack, and then Hersh manufactured an interesting but unproven (and likely false) narrative to fill in the details.
So when someone takes a kernel the truth and then surrounds of with lies for self promotional reasons, it does us a disservice by causing us to question all of their claims, no matter how true the initial claim may be.

The Purge ((movies)) were designed to focus the rage of alienated, disaffected male black youth. As is the ((hijacked)) BLM movement and the reparations movement. It’s called ((planned)) race war.
The Wall St. Fungus amongus sent our jobs to China and is counting on race war to save themselves.
Egypt has 122 million people. Gaza has 8 million. Open the gate. Let them in. Oh, wait, what am I saying? That would be like Minnesota allowing North Dakota residents in. I feel silly. How preposterous.
” a father was told by local authorities, it would teach her a lesson.” She needed surgery to repair the damage.

When the low IQers and the “deplorables” are expunged who’s going to pick the crops, clean the toilets in the fancy hotels, do the landscaping, pump the septic tanks, wait the tables in the upscale restaurants, collect the garbage, etc? Elon Musk? Miriam Adelson? Or, are we to keep a few of the dumbdowned around to do the dirty work?
It’s Paradisiacal to know that when the killings done you and your kind won’t be around either.
It’s important that the American people be informed about such matters. Volumes have been written about the JFK assassination, 9/11, USS Liberty, Jonathan Pollock and other acts of treachery and now this. Notwithstanding the corrupt three branches of government here in the USA, the American people/taxpayers do nothing. The efforts, it seems to me, of the authors of the present article and other likeminded researchers are in vain. It’s all very tiresome, for when the dust settles, it’s business as usual. Wind down Fridays; tacos and Margaritas; beer and burgers.
Truth be told, I’m no activist, not leading the charge, not manning the barricades, nor am I above tacos, and an occasional beer and burger, or relaxing after a hard week’s work. .I’m just a chatterbox like some of the commenters here at the UNZ Review. Besides, why would I take the risk of being the face of an organized resistance? For when things get serious, I have no doubt many Americans will betray me like Israel betrays America. I’ll be on my own.
Not justifying israeli treachery, however.
Smart alecks.
Sorry the irony escaped me. Clearly I read into your comment a sentiment that was not meant. I’ve become grouchy in my old age. A small dose of frivolity may lighten things up for me.
I agree. We need and have a right to know what’s being done to us and by whom. It will be a great day when Americans stop “turning the other cheek”.
What “Americans” will have the courage to do that?

Yes, really. Why would I lie to you, Rob? If you think about it, you answered your own question (about currency) in your initial response to my reply to the article. Remember? Go back and have a look. I have an idea what you’re getting at, but things are not always “cut and dried”; much easier said than done. An observation: you’re all over the place in this particular, rather lengthy comment section. I don’t know, but maybe you should rest awhile, take a breather, harness your stream of consciousness.
“Trump is cleaning house in America and everyone loves it.”

White politicians and business interests did nothing to stop the influx of people into the USA. Indeed, they encouraged it. It’s good for the bottom line, the greasing of palms and the lining of pockets. White politicians and white business interests don’t care at all about their white constituents. If they did you wouldn’t be in the position you find yourselves in today. Don’t blame black and brown people for your ulterior motives. It is white people whom white politicians are leaving to their apathy, despair and uselessness. They get the cash and flee to their estates and gated communities even as they rubber stamp the destruction of black and brown countries like Iraq, Syria, Libya , Lebanon, Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, etc. They’ve been boycotting and sanctioning Cuba for over 70 years. They’ve now set their sights on Venezuela. Wreaking havoc in Ukraine, not to mention the long suffering people of Palestine. Coup d’etats and regime change throughout Central and South America. Blame yourselves when white politicians continue to send your hard earned tax dollars to Israel, Ukraine, etc, and you do nothing but look for scapegoats.
When times were good most white people didn’t give second thought about the violence and destruction that the US government did around the world and in their name. No thought about the mass migrations of people that such violence and instability would cause. Now that white people are being “niggerized” you whine and cast aspersions on victims of your notions of white supremacy.
