Essential Moldbug Thread

>I could but now I'm not going to
You could save yourself a lot of pain if you just admitted that you made a claim without being able to back it up.

>However it seems that it really is just the same old 'whites' vs 'the lesser races' in disguise.
What if that's true though? It certainly makes sense that the further a population is from the equator the more logic and forethought would be required to survive winter and train your children to be capable of doing so. Your skin would also tend to be whiter to absorb more sunlight. Is it then surprising that the highest IQ people would be snowniggers and the lowest IQ people dark coloured gentlemen? I mean, what if it's true? Surely that's a better place to look than whether it's politically taboo. At one point copernicanism and atheism were taboo, but they turned out to be true. At one point Bolshevism hijacked Russia and people started believing Lysenkoism. It's possible for innovative new thought to be nonsense, for taboo thought to be true and for currently unfashionable views to be true.

Another point would be that NRxers fap to Singapore, a multicultural Asian commercial powerhouse. So they're not exactly old school white nationalists who want segregation of white people. They want exit of all intelligent, law abiding people to refuges like Silicon Valley, Japan, Shanghai, Hong Kong. Nick Land, for example, mentioned in a tweet lately that the Vietnamese obviously don't cause trouble in Paris.

And what if it's true? If you believe in egalitarianism if makes no difference, same reason why you still support retarded people. If you already hate blacks and believe in an in-elegatarian society, you don't need any further scientific justification. In the old world there was never any real justification for the existence of aristrocrats aside from some religious bumbo jumbo, it was just the way things are.

I have an ecological/biological background. So it absolutely does makes sense for populations to have adaptations to the environment. But it does not make sense to group people together with skin color. You can have distinctions between populations, but not based on skin color.

Additionally, I find it doubtful that past adaptations matter in our current environment.

>If you believe in egalitarianism if makes no difference
>If you already hate blacks and believe in an in-elegatarian society, you don't need any further scientific justification.

You say it as if prejudice is the only distinction, and the science of the matter is meaningless.

How much do Moldbug and Land differ in their stance on human biodiversity? It seems Land is more of a "intelligence supremacist" if I can call it that.
While with Moldbug I am unsure.

>Nick Land, for example, mentioned in a tweet lately that the Vietnamese obviously don't cause trouble in Paris.

They did cause lots of trouble in New York though: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_to_Kill_(gang)

That doesn't explain why Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, all supported massive civilizations while Northern Europeans were messing around in huts and being scattered about by Steppe horsemen who presumably also faced the same harsh winters. There were no pristine civilizations that appeared independently in Europe; everything was imported.

Also if you're living off the land in Africa you're not exactly letting your dumbest survive.

And presumably the average IQ was pretty low in Europe when it was a shithole.

The science is meaningless because in an anti-egalitarian society, there is no meritocratic justification for the social order. This is ultimately an ideal derived from modern democracy and I think it's ultimately incompatible with a fundamentally undemocratic, reactionary ideology. Here again to me there is the obvious flaw of NRx, the fusion of oldschool, anti democratic values and weird modern silicon valley ideology that just do not mix.
