While Daniel and Jack continue working towards resumption of IDSG, Jack is once again invited by best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah (@nicemangos of the Polite Conversations podcast) to co-host a Twitter space [obligatory Elon Musk joke here] about the new Barbie movie and the tsunami of reactionary tears it has invoked.  Conversation (with contributions from various guests) ranges over the movie itself and Barbie herself, Musk and X, Dutch politics, the culture wars, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Piers Morgan, and that weird guy on YouTube who dresses like a medieval knight.  Obviously, this being an X space (sigh), sound quality is variable.

UNLOCKED!  Bonus Ep16 Maus (from March 2022)

By way of a little compensation for you while you wait (patiently, bless you) for us to get our shit back together (which we are in the process of doing) here is a little bonus, a slightly edited recording of a Twitter space that we did with our friend Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos) on 12th May last.  We chat about the coronation of Prince Charles (that's his name goddammit!), the revolting sexist discourse around E. Jean Carroll's suit against Trump, and the equally revolting discourse from deniers and obfuscators around the deadly shooting in Allen, Texas, with special reference to the bullshit about his ethnicity.  Other subjects come up, naturally.  Some interesting people took part and made great contributions.  Hope you enjoy it.  See you soon.

PREVIEW: Bonus Ep29 Charles and Tucker

Okay, so.... as you'll have noticed, we haven't been that productive lately.  We've both been going through some stuff.  However, we are both still committed to the show.  To tide you over while you wait for us to get our acts back together, here's a public release of an old Patreon-only bonus episode from August 2021. It's a general chat in which Daniel and Jack react to some contemporary news, and Daniel tells Jack about his visit to a museum while on his holidays.  More interesting than it sounds, hopefully. Content warnings for some discussions of atrocity and war, and one satirical use of a slur (by Jack).   Also, owing to technical difficulties, this episode doesn't have the absolute greatest sound, but it's perfectly listenable. The National Museum of Nuclear Science &amp; History https://www.nuclearmuseum.org Shaun, Dropping the Bomb: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCRTgtpC-Go Abigail Shrier Twitter thread about gender identity paperwork. https://twitter.com/AbigailShrier/status/1431045305592545280 Becoming a patron brings access to all other bonus episodes.

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep9 Physics and Desert Country

Daniel and Jack return with a bumper episode.  We start with Steven Crowder's declaration of hostilities against Shapiro and his organisation The Daily Wire, and from there we move through the various reactions on the far Right, from Elijah Schaffer to John Doyle to Isabelle Riley Moody to Nick Fuentes, and more.  This episode is less about the Crowder vs. Shapiro spat and more about how it opens a window into the rampant and increasingly mainstreamed antisemitism on the Right.   This episode comes with heavy content warnings.  Daniel has done a ton of research and come back with a panoply of sniggering horrors.  Jack has bleeped out the r-slurs and f-slurs.  But still, take care.

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep7 In The Loop (2009)

Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces!  In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.

Interesting

The audio is so much better!!! Thank you guys 😻

The best!

I Don't Speak German

In this episode, which runs a bit longer than the first two, and which goes to some very dark places, Daniel tells Jack all about the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, 2017. The episode features discussions of violence, and we try to signpost when we're getting into the painful details.  But warnings definitely apply from the start.  We're discussing virulent racism and bigotry. (Also, we're on iTunes and YouTube now.) Of necessity, we're only glancing at this incredibly big and complex subject, so we're going to be coming back to many of the issues, organisations, and persons mentioned. And here are some notes, sources, and references. (Oh, P.S. Fun fact... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped into Hbomberguy's Donkey Kong charity Twitch stream as we recorded this.) * NOTES Firstly, everyone interested in this should follow and support Emily Gorcenski and Molly (Socialist Dog Mom) on Twitter.  Here's Emily's livestream of the tiki torch rally Here's Molly's podcast The Trial of James Alex Fields First Vigil - tracking fascist violence Texts between Jason Kessler (UtR organiser), Richard Spencer, other UtR participants: SPLC/Hatewatch Document at DocumentCloud Unite the Right poster Enoch and The Right Stuff crew photo with Taylor Wilson and James Alex Fields (tweet from Sandi Bachom): Jason Kessler tweets about Heather Heyer after Charlottesville Hunter Wallace (Brad Griffin) smears Heather Heyer. White Boner's conspiracy theory video Alex McNabb, the 'Nazi EMT' Daniel has curated a selection of clips relating to the subjects touched on in this episode.  Beware, some of these clips feature people like Jason Kessler and Mike Enoch being vile.  Here. David Futrelle's blog We Hunted the Mammoth, is a good source for lots of information about the far-right in its many forms.  The blog originally tracked the 'Manosphere' (i.e. MRAs, Incels, etc) but has increasingly tracked online hate more generally as the Manosphere joined up with and fed into the so-called 'alt-right', Trumpism, etc. Here's his post on nazis mocking the murder of Heather Heyer in their memes... ...and here's his post on the Daily Caller's call for people to run over protestors.  And here is the video we refer to in the episode, 'Charlottesville: The True Alt-Right' by Shaun - excellent stuff. * Timeline of Rallies 2017: Feb. 1: Berkeley. Milo rally cancelled. April 15: Berkeley. "Free Speech Event," Nathan Damigo punches "Moldylocks." April 27: Berkeley. Ann Coulter speech cancelled, "Based Stickman," Lauren Southern, et al.

Episode 34: The Grift Question

Robert Whitaker

In this episode, Daniel tells Jack about a lesser known but crucial figure in the rise of the 'White Genocide' conspiracy theory on today's far-right, Robert Whitaker. Content Warnings for episode and links below. Robert Whitaker's Mantra: http://www.robertwwhitaker.com/mantra/ "ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY! Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries. The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them. Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries? How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem? And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this? But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."

Whitaker at Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B001KJ0KV4?_encoding=UTF8&amp;node=618073011&amp;offset=0&amp;pageSize=12&amp;searchAlias=stripbooks&amp;sort=author-pages-popularity-rank&amp;page=1&amp;langFilter=default#formatSelectorHeader "Why Johnny Can't Think: America's Professor-Priesthood" (free PDF) https://id.b-ok2.org/book/2957237/010a34 ""Why Johnny Can't Think" shows that leftism means, "Professors should rule the world." It demonstrates why each totally inbred generation of professors chooses a new generation of professors that is even more inbred and leftist and what actually happens when college graduates and professors actually try ruling the world through socialism, through criminal "rehabilitation," and through the New Education. Whatever they call it, socialism or environmentalism or multiculturalism, each leftist program just means that professors should rule the world. And every time they try, it is a disaster. But college graduates keep pushing new leftists policies. That what they learned in school. That's what we pay professors to teach them in school. Joe Sobran says in the foreword: "A former professor himself, Bob Whitaker believes that formal education has become dangerous, and often fatal, to common sense. This is nothing new, but Americans believe so deeply in formal education that they routinely sacrifice their children's youth to it, often paying staggering amounts of money to shield them from the real world... "...the "social" sciences are another matter. These "social" sciences are often directly contradicted by the hard sciences. They are built on ideas and theories that are not only unproven, but demonstrably and obviously false. Yet they are aggressively promoted by the academy, followed by the media and the government, and anyone who openly denies them can forget about a career in these institutions. Even real scientists are forced to bow to the idols of "social" science... "As Whitaker reminds us, formal education is far and away the biggest industry in the United States. Americans pay trillions of dollars, in both taxes and private tuition, to have their children indoctrinated in a false and destructive ideology, which serves as the basis for a series of disastrous public policies. In Whitaker's words, "Nothing liberals do ever WORKS."

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries. The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them. Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites. What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries? How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem? And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this? But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

It demonstrates why each totally inbred generation of professors chooses a new generation of professors that is even more inbred and leftist and what actually happens when college graduates and professors actually try ruling the world through socialism, through criminal "rehabilitation," and through the New Education. Whatever they call it, socialism or environmentalism or multiculturalism, each leftist program just means that professors should rule the world. And every time they try, it is a disaster. But college graduates keep pushing new leftists policies. That what they learned in school. That's what we pay professors to teach them in school. Joe Sobran says in the foreword: "A former professor himself, Bob Whitaker believes that formal education has become dangerous, and often fatal, to common sense. This is nothing new, but Americans believe so deeply in formal education that they routinely sacrifice their children's youth to it, often paying staggering amounts of money to shield them from the real world... "...the "social" sciences are another matter. These "social" sciences are often directly contradicted by the hard sciences. They are built on ideas and theories that are not only unproven, but demonstrably and obviously false. Yet they are aggressively promoted by the academy, followed by the media and the government, and anyone who openly denies them can forget about a career in these institutions. Even real scientists are forced to bow to the idols of "social" science... "As Whitaker reminds us, formal education is far and away the biggest industry in the United States. Americans pay trillions of dollars, in both taxes and private tuition, to have their children indoctrinated in a false and destructive ideology, which serves as the basis for a series of disastrous public policies. In Whitaker's words, "Nothing liberals do ever WORKS."

Episode 37: Robert Whitaker and 'White Genocide'

Sam Harris

Another departure for the show as Daniel and Jack chat about Sam Harris, inexplicably popular professional atheist, Intellectual Dark Webber, thought-experimenter, devil's advocate, mysteriously perennial victim of malicious context-removal, and definitely not a member of the far-right. Seriously... Sam Harris is not a nazi.  The fact that we're talking about him on a podcast in which we normally talk about nazis (and fascists and white supremacists, etc) doesn't mean we're saying he is one.  We're not. Nevertheless, we think he's relevant to our discussion. Something of a cathartic experience for both of us.  We had fun. Content warnings. * Show Notes: Sam Harris website: https://samharris.org/ Sam Harris podcast, "Making Sense." https://samharris.org/podcast/   SPLC: McInnes, Molyneux, and 4chan: Investigating pathways to the alt-right "The “skeptics” movement — whose adherents claim to challenge beliefs both scientific and spiritual by questioning the evidence and reasoning that underpin them — has also helped channel people into the alt-right by way of “human biodiversity.” Sam Harris has been one of the movement’s most public faces, and four posters on the TRS thread note his influence. "Under the guise of scientific objectivity, Harris has presented deeply flawed data to perpetuate fear of Muslims and to argue that black people are genetically inferior to whites. In a 2017 podcast, for instance, he argued that opposition to Muslim immigrants in European nations was “perfectly rational” because “you are importing, by definition, some percentage, however small, of radicalized people.” He assured viewers, “This is not an expression of xenophobia; this is the implication of statistics.” More recently, he invited Charles Murray on his podcast. Their conversation centered on an idea that lies far outside of scientific consensus: that racial differences in IQ scores are genetically based. Though mainstream behavioral scientists have demonstrated that intelligence is less significantly affected by genetics than environment (demonstrated by research that shows the IQ gap between black and white Americans is closing, and that the average American IQ has risen dramatically since the mid-twentieth century), Harris still dismissed any criticism of Murray’s work as “politically correct moral panic.” For posters on TRS, Harris’ work blended easily into that of more overtly racist writers like Paul Kersey, whose popular blog, “Stuff Black People Don’t Like,” is reposted on American Renaissance. The site “really gets the noggin joggin and encourages you to search for answers,” one user wrote. Their “biggest stepping stone” was from Harris’ work to Kersey’s blog: “It was there I learned about race realism, IQ, genetics, bell curves, and the economic/political drivers behind the pushing of ‘diversity.’”"   Sam Harris on Recode/Decode: HARRIS: "But it’s a larger problem that worries me that real liberals are vacating the space of rational conversation on certain topics, race and sex and gender and wealth and power and religion and immigration. Huge topics that a lot of people care about. And into that vacuum come right-wing nut cases, opportunists and grifters and narcissists like the president of the United States, and in the extreme, actual Nazis and white supremacists and, you know, populists of that flavor, who we shouldn’t want to empower and we’re empowering them, not just in the States, but I mean it’s even worse in Europe. This is a global problem. This is a point that David Frum has made, which I think is right, whatever you think about David’s politics. If liberals won’t defend specific ideas like secure borders, people will elect fascists to do the job. Enough people care about these things that if you’re going to call everyone a racist who’s concerned about immigration, eventually only a racist who doesn’t care about his reputation anymore will be elected to do that job."   Sam Harris "What Do Jihadis Really Want?" Dabiq 15, referenced heavily in "What do Jihadis Really Want?"   Sam Harris: "To Profile or Not to Profile," with Bruce Schneier: SCHNEIER: "Security is a trade-off, and requires some sort of cost-benefit analysis.  What is the cost of your security system?  What are the benefits?  What, exactly, is your correlation?  (TSA screeners can’t sort based on religion; they have to sort based on something they can detect.  And since there’s no such thing as “looking Muslim”—it’s a belief system, not an ethnic group—they’re going to sort on something like “looking Arab,” whatever that ends up meaning.)  Then, you’re going to have to analyze the resulting security system.  How does it work, and how does it fail?  What’s the false-positive and false-negative rate?  (You’ll have to do some theoretical analysis, at the very least refuting current research.)  Can your system be gamed?  (You’ll need some experimental data with real-world TSA agents in real-world conditions.  The last thing we want is a security system that can be defeated with a bottle of blonde hair dye.)  You will need it to relate to other security systems.  We only have a limited security budget.  Is your security system better than other airport security options?  How does it affect the other security systems already in place at airports?  Would we be better off spending that money on some other aspect of airport security?  Or something more general than airports?  In my book Beyond Fear, I proposed a five-step process to think through some of these questions.  There are other, more rigorous models.  But security engineering requires something more than intuition."   Sam Harris "The Limits of Discourse" with Noam Chomsky Digest of the Harris/Chomsky debate   Ezra Klein "Forbidden Knowledge," (includes links to much of the Klein/Harris material) KLEIN: "He ultimately refused to have me on his podcast on the grounds that a conversation between the two of us would be “unproductive,” pivoting to a demand that I instead publish an op-ed supporting his views (you can read that piece here) or that he publishes all our emails to each other. [Update: Harris has now published our email exchange, and I recommend reading it. I don’t know why he thinks it helps his case, but I think it shows just how resistant to actual dialogue he is on this subject.]"   Sam Harris/Ezra Klein emails: HARRIS: "Throughout this exchange, you’ve dodged every substantive point I’ve raised. What’s more, you continue to ignore the context in which you published that defamatory piece. Nisbett et al. say that Murray “was recently denied a platform at Middlebury College. Students shouted him down, and one of his hosts was hurt in a scuffle.” This is an obscenely euphemistic way to describe what actually happened. Hurt in a scuffle? A professor received a neck injury and a concussion. The car in which she and Murray fled was smashed with a stop sign still attached to part of the sidewalk from which it had been wrested. Murray was set upon by a mob—at Middlebury."   Addison Independent report on the (Murray / Middlebury) event: "“The protesters then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and trying to prevent it from leaving campus,” he said. “At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. Public Safety officers were able, finally, to clear the way to allow the vehicle to leave campus."   The Atlantic report on the event: "One [antifascist] took a large traffic sign, attached to a concrete base, and placed it in front of the car to prevent it from leaving."   Middlebury professor on the incident: "Although they made it into the car, the crowd prevented them from easily leaving, with people leaning on the hood and climbing on top. Eventually, after nearly running over a stop sign someone had displaced in front of the car, they managed to break free and head toward the campus location for dinner."   Politico, "How the Middlebury Riot Really Went Down": "Behind the vehicle, the security guards pushed protesters aside, clearing a path for the vehicle to slowly inch backwards. The group reformed quickly, allowing the car to move only a couple of feet at a time. Every time a security guard pushed her, said one of the anti-fascists, she steadied herself, planted her feet in front of the car’s path, and waited for her turn to be pushed again. She and her comrades, as she calls them, had trained for moments like these. Their goal wasn’t violence, but the anti-fascists did want to make life hard for Murray. Almost out of the parking lot, Burger sped up to take a left turn onto the street, but he wasn’t yet completely free of the crowd."   Sam Harris/Ezra Klein debate: HARRIS: "Let’s take this off race and IQ for a second, because this is something that would’ve been probably just as radioactive and it just happened to break the other way and nobody noticed. I think it was three years ago, or four years ago. I think it was 2014 where there were some, there were reports about Neanderthal DNA. I think it’s David Reich whose op-ed in the New York Times kicked off our latest skirmish, I think it’s based on his work. It was found that most human beings are walking around with around 2.7 percent Neanderthal DNA. At the time, but it was found that the only people who don’t have Neanderthal DNA are black people, people who directly descend with some isolation from Africa, from the rest of the human community. At the time I tweeted, this is now 2014, I tweeted, “Attention all racists, you are right. We are special, or whites are special. We’re part Neanderthal. Blacks are just human.” It just was a trolling of the world’s racists."

Blacks are just human.” It just was a trolling of the world’s racists."

Episode 22: Sam Harris (is not a nazi)

Kevin Macdonald

This episode, Daniel (finally) tells Jack all about antisemitic academic Kevin Macdonald and his antisemitic book of antisemitism masquerading as science, 'The Culture of Critique', the influence of which ranges throughout today's far-right. Content Warning. TRANSCRIPT: https://idtg.net/35 FULL TRANSCRIPT LIST: https://idtg.net/ * Show Notes: (NB: Our mention of Elizabeth King's Twitter-ban is out of date.  She's back, apparently.  Hooray!)  Kevin Maconald at Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_MacDonald_(evolutionary_psychologist) Kevin MacDonald at the SPLC:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_MacDonald_(evolutionary_psychologist) Kevin MacDonald Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOOEdit "The Culture of Critique" PDF at the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/CultureofC The Occidental Observer: https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/ TOQ Live: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVL-NtVxGUTAuba3QpIqiZg Judith Shulevitz, "Evolutionary Psychology's Anti-Semite."  https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2000/01/evolutionary-psychology-s-anti-semite.html "MacDonald’s central thesis is that Judaism is best understood not as a religion but as a blueprint for an experiment in eugenics–a “group evolutionary strategy,” he calls it–designed to maximize a single trait: intelligence. For thousands of years, he says, Jews have separated themselves from their neighbors, choosing to confine themselves to a closed society with strict rules against marrying outside the group. They have lived by policies of extreme group loyalty and obedience to rabbinical authority, which served to maintain their racial purity; and they practiced low-birth-rate, high-investment parenting, which is the royal road to a high group I.Q. They conferred social status (which brings along with it the most desirable women) on men according to their brilliance–indeed, says MacDonald, study of the Talmud was nothing more than a casuistic exercise meant to weed out the dim. Eventually, their highly developed genes for mental and verbal acuity, as well as their social aggression (also carefully bred-in), gave the Jews powerful tools that enable them to dominate neighboring ethnic groups in the endless war of all against all for food and resources." [...] "Are MacDonald’s peers aware of what he’s writing in the name of a field long accused of fostering–unfairly, many of them would say; by Jews, MacDonald would say–sexist and racist stereotypes? Do other evolutionary psychologists have an opinion on MacDonald? Culturebox called several well-known members of HBES, specifying in her voice messages that she was writing an article about MacDonald. Few returned her phone calls, but those who did said they’d never read his Jewish trilogy. Two leading scholars said they had read papers of his on other subjects and found them “muddled”; one academic said she had been forced to reject a paper by MacDonald on child development for an anthology she was editing. When Culturebox described the contents of MacDonald’s books to them, they expressed extreme shock and said he contradicted the basic principles of contemporary evolutionary psychology. “The notion that Jews are a genetically distinct group doesn’t make it on the basis of modern population genetics,” said John Tooby, the president of HBES and a professor of anthropology at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Also, he said, “group-selection theory”–the idea that natural selection can occur at the level of a group (such as a bunch of Jews) as opposed to individuals–was debunked in the 1960s, and though some scholars are working to bring group-selection theory back, it remains a minority view."   George Michael, "Professor Kevin MacDonald's Critique of Judaism: Legitimate Scholarship or the Intelleetualization of Anti-Semitism?" "Kevin MacDonald was bom in 1944 and raised in a traditional Catholic family in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Growing up, he attended Catholic schools and obtained a BA in philosophy from the University of Wisconsin in 1966. While in college, he became involved in the campus anti-war movement. Interestingly, several of his roommates were Jewish, which, as MacDonald later recounted, opened his eyes to Jewish involvement in radical causes. One incident in particular that left an impression on him was when Jewish student radicals recruited him to give a speech in order to present a supposedly non-Jewish veneer to their politics. During this phase in nis life, MacDonald entertained dreams of becoming a jazz pianist, i Several years later, however, he abandoned both his musical career and radical politics to enter graduate school at the age of 30."   From the introduction to CoC: "CofC describes how Jewish intellectuals initiated and advanced a number of important intellectual and political movements during the 20th century. I argue that these movements are attempts to alter Western societies in a manner that would neutralize or end anti-Semitism and enhance the prospects for Jewish group continuity either in an overt or in a semi-cryptic manner. Several of these Jewish movements (e.g., the shift in immigration policy favoring non-European peoples) have attempted to weaken the power of their perceived competitors— the European peoples who early in the 20th century had assumed a dominant position not only in their traditional homelands in Europe, but also in the United States, Canada, and Australia. At a theoretical level, these movements are viewed as the outcome of conflicts of interest between Jews and non-Jews in the construction of culture and in various public policy issues. Ultimately, these movements are viewed as the expression of a group evolutionary strategy by Jews in their competition for social, political and cultural dominance with non-Jews. "Here I attempt to answer some typical criticisms that have been leveled against CofC. (See also my website: www.csulb.edu/~kmacd). I also discuss issues raised by several books that have appeared since the publication of CofC. There have been complaints that I am viewing Judaism in a monolithic manner. This is definitely not the case." Kevin MacDonald's statement to the court in the Irving/Lipstadt case:  https://web.archive.org/web/20010415064434/http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/statement_court.htm "The main point of my testimony is that the attacks made on David Irving by Deborah Lipstadt and Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League should be viewed in the long-term context of Jewish-gentile interactions. As indicated by the summaries of my books, my training as an evolutionist as well as the evidence compiled by historians leads me to conceptualize Judaism as self-interested groups whose interests often conflict with segments of the gentile community. Anti-Jewish attitudes and behavior have been a pervasive feature of the Jewish experience since the beginnings of the Diaspora well over 2000 years ago. While anti-Semitic attitudes and behavior have undoubtedly often been colored by myths and fantasies about Jews, there is a great deal of anti-Jewish writing that reflects the reality of between-group competition exactly as expected by an evolutionist. Particularly important have been the themes of separatism—the fact that Jewish groups have typically existed as recognizably distinct groups and have been unwilling to assimilate either culturally or via marriage to the wider society, the theme of economic, political, and cultural domination, and the theme of disloyalty."

Episode 27: A History of White Nationalism in the Pacific Northwest

Charles Murray

Merry Christmas!  This Christmas Day, Daniel and Jack chat about Charles Murray, co-author of the infamous pseudo-scientific racist hoax The Bell Curve. Content Warning. TRANSCRIPT: https://idtg.net/38 Full Transript List: https://idtg.net/ Notes/Links: Shaun, "The Bell Curve." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo ForeverJameses, "Reading the Right - Volume One: The Bell Curve": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgZFGgJlAsk The Bell Curve PDF:  https://lesacreduprintemps19.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/the-bell-curve.pdf P 37-38 "The Creation of a Cognitive Elite Within The College System." John Ogbu p. 307 Ogbu and Simons, "Voluntary and Involuntary Minorities: A Cultural-Ecological Theory of School Performance With Some Implications for Eductation."  https://faculty.washington.edu/rsoder/EDUC305/OgbuSimonsvoluntaryinvoluntary.pdf "From his comparative research Ogbu has concluded that (1) no minority group does better in school because it is genetically superior than others; (2) no minority culture is better at educating its children; and (3) no minority language is better suited for learning in school (Simons et al. n.d.). He has argued that from a comparative perspective, one cannot attribute the differences in minority school performance to cultural, linguistic, or genetic differences. This is not to deny genetic differences or to deny that cultural and language differences may have an adverse or positive effect on minority school performance; but culture and language do not entirely determine the differences among minorities. Consider that some minority groups, like the Buraku outcast in Japan, do poorly in school in their country of origin but do quite well in the United States, or that Koreans do well in school in China and in the United States but do poorly in Japan. Comparative research suggests that we might discover at least a part of the explanation by closely looking at the histories and sociocultural adaptations of these minorities (Simons et al. n.d.). More specifically, to understand why minority groups differ among themselves in school performance we have to know two things: the first is their own responses to their history of incorporation into U.S. society and their subsequent treatment or mistreatment by white Americans. The second is how their responses to that history and treatment affect their perceptions of and responses to schooling." Erik Siegel, Scientific American "The Real Problem With Charles Murray and 'The Bell Curve.'  https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/the-real-problem-with-charles-murray-and-the-bell-curve/ "“The Bell Curve” endorses prejudice by virtue of what it does not say. Nowhere does the book address why it investigates racial differences in IQ. By never spelling out a reason for reporting on these differences in the first place, the authors transmit an unspoken yet unequivocal conclusion: Race is a helpful indicator as to whether a person is likely to hold certain capabilities. Even if we assume the presented data trends are sound, the book leaves the reader on his or her own to deduce how to best put these insights to use. The net effect is to tacitly condone the prejudgment of individuals based on race." "Daring Research or 'Social Science Pornography'?" ""Why can a publisher sell it?" he asked in the proposal for "Losing Ground." "Because a huge number of well-meaning whites fear that they are closet racists, and this book tells them they are not. It's going to make them feel better about things they already think but do not know how to say." Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich may have more power than Murray, and Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan may have more direct influence. But no other conservative has his ability to make a radical thought seem so reasonable. Where others rant, Murray seduces with mountains of data and assurances of his own fine intentions. He will never be the country's most famous conservative, but he may well be the most dangerous." "The White Man, Unburdened." Quinn Slobodian and Stuart Schrader.  https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-white-man-unburdened-slobodian-schrader "Despite the reputation he cultivates as a teller of uncomfortable truths based on rigorous empirical social-scientific research, Murray misrepresents what the United States was trying to achieve in Thailand, and what his role there was. In Murray’s monograph, the word “insurgency” appeared twice and “war” never. He made no reference to opium, perhaps the commodity most worth fighting over in northeast Thailand. He did not mention martial law. And he certainly did not analyze how ethnic persecution shaped village life. Murray’s later writings have effaced these particulars even further. Most important, Murray diminishes the U.S. war in Vietnam as the decisive context that shaped much of Thailand’s political and economic fortunes. The nearby American war transformed Thailand’s urban economy, while heightening worries both within the Thai regime and in the diplomatic community at large that Thailand might become another falling domino. Rural community development was designed to thwart Communist organizing and subversion. Additionally, from the 1950s through the 1970s, there were challenges to the Thai national government’s legitimacy—which meant, in turn, a protracted initiative to suppress any dissent that struck Thai leaders as carrying a remote echo of left-wing subversion. Meanwhile, a host of factions within the government were themselves skirmishing, with coups and counter-coups. CIA involvement was one way for Washington to play favorites. Reading Murray’s Thai writings, you’d never know that his employer, AIR, was linked to security agencies or that the actual counterpart Thai development agency was a paramilitary force created by the CIA, the Border Patrol Police, which played a key role in a massacre of students and the installation of dictatorial right-wing rule in October 1976. Obscuring this context has important consequences for Murray’s analysis of the failures of U.S. nation-building in Thailand, which would go on to serve as the conceptual seedbed for his critique of the American welfare state. The research he conducted in the late 1960s assessed villagers’ attitudes toward the government and the assistance it provided. He found that many villagers claimed to have little positive interaction, or any at all, with representatives from the national government. They preferred to deal with local officials. Local officials, Murray argued, were more sensitive to their needs than outside administrators."

It is the hereditarians who are trying to reach a strong and potentially destructive conclusion, and the burden is absolutely on them to demonstrate that they have a well-grounded empirical and quantitative theory to work with. So, if you are out there and think that group differences t are at least partially genetic, please explain exactly what you mean, in empirical terms. Do you mean that some portion of the IQ gap will never go away, no matter what we do environmentally? Do you mean we will discover genes with hard-wired biological consequences for IQ, and their frequencies will differ across groups? Are polygenic risk scores going to do it somehow? But don’t let me mischaracterize your position: explain it yourself. My concern is that anti-hereditarians play into race scientist’s hands when we agree to engage with them as though there existed a legitimate research paradigm proceeding toward a rational conclusion. At least in the social sciences, legitimate empirical research paradigms rarely come to all or none conclusions, so it becomes natural for people to conclude, with Murray and Harris, that the whole long argument is bound to settle eventually on the idea that group differences are a little environmental, a little genetic. But in fact, that is not where we are headed. I predict that in a relatively short period of time, contemporary race science will seem just as transparently unscientific and empirically untrue as the race science of the early 20th Century now appears from our modern perspective. Declaring something to be a science doesn’t make it so. The hereditarians want all the good things that come from being thought of as scientists. They want academic respect, they want protection from charges of racism, they want clear separation from the very recent history of “race science” that led directly to the Holocaust and Jim Crow. They have to earn it, by doing the hard work of developing the quantitative and empirical theories that transform intuitions about stereotypes into real science."
