We are getting to the point where, because of the dysgenic effects of our welfare and immigration policies of the last 60 years, there aren’t really enough smart people left in this country to maintain an advanced technological society. This is exacerbated by affirmative action policies that prevent smart people from being fully utilized now in many situations. Some smart white males have even decided to forego the standard education-career-marriage-children path.

Black Africans utterly loathe American blacks. Many is the time I have heard a black African disparage American blacks, and the best I can do, being white, is to remain silent.

(One of my guilty pleasures is telling my shit-lib older brother about how much Africans despise American blacks.)

Poles have a massive inferiority complex.

How Poles would like to see themselves and how the West sees them are like night and day though both sides pretend otherwise.

Poles like to see themselves as part of the West, or at least of Central Europe than Eastern Europe. The are CATHOLICS, not Orthodox. They use Roman alphabet, not Cyrillic. They insist they are not like most Slavs. The only Slavs they sort of respect are the Czechs. Rest might as well be barbarians.
Poles want to associate with the advanced West and, if not seen as an equal, then at least as junior partner and valued sidekick.

Now, how does the West see the Poles? As a bunch of 'plumbers'. Yes, the dumb Polacks, the hicks putting on airs. And the smarter and better educated Poles see their own kind this way: the dummies they are ashamed of. Polish elites will often grovel to Westerns and plead that they themselves are not like those 'nationalist' Polish rubes stuck in the Middle Ages. They weep apologetically about some Poles blocking homo parades.

Also, given that the West is now Jewish controlled(and Jews despise and hate Poles), the West that the Poles suck up to applies immense pressure on Poland to destroy itself. Lots of neurosis all around.
Still, even as Jews hate Polacks, their attitude to Poland is kinder than to Russians because Poles are useful against Russians. No wonder Jews didn't totally plunder the Polish economy. Cultivate Slavic Dogs among the Poles and treat them relatively nice to use them against the big prize, Russia. It's like the white man in conquest of America treated some Indian tribes better to use them against other Indian tribes.

Because Poles want to much to be part of the West but the West looks down on Polack dummies, Poles go out of their way to show that they are more Western than Westerners by waving the NATO Flag and involving itself in any war instigated by the West, like in Iraq.
But this is just dog behavior.

Hungarians are saner. True, they too have bad historical blood with the Russians, but they are content to be proud Hungarians who want to be left alone. They don't have imperial aspirations. Poland does. It wants to be part of the team and rub shoulders with the big honchos of the West. Thus, its nationalism is at odds with the pressures of globalism, of which it wants to play a 'leading' role.

The necktie syndrome: Why CEOs tend to be significantly taller than the average male

…

Given that the average American male is 5'9" that means that CEOs, as a group, have about three inches on the rest of their sex. But this statistic actually understates matters. In the U.S. population, about 14.5% of all men are six feet or over. Among CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, that number is 58%. Even more strikingly, in the general American population, 3.9% of adult men are 6'2" or taller. Among my CEO sample, 30% were 6'2" or taller,"…

Researchers suggest Victorian-era people more intelligent than modern-day counterparts
by Bob Yirka , Phys.org

Phys.org) —In a new study, a European research team suggests that the average intelligence level of Victorian-era people was higher than that of modern-day people. They base their controversial assertion on reaction times (RT) to visual stimuli given as tests to people from the late 1800s to modern times—the faster the reaction time, they say, the smarter the person.
The Victorian era has been highly touted by historians as one of the most productive in human history—inventions, observations and highly acclaimed art and music from that time still resonate today…
