Governor John A. Mead

A tempest in a teapot started brewing nearly two years ago at Vermont’s Middlebury College which perfectly exemplifies the weak tea that the conservative movement has been serving these past several decades. College President Laurie Patton effected a clandestine name change of a century-old building on campus. Mead Memorial Chapel was to be renamed (or “de-named”) Middlebury Chapel. The chapel’s name had originally honored John A. Mead, a physician who served as Vermont’s Governor from 1910 to 1912. Both an alumnus and trustee of the college, Mead had contributed most of the money for the chapel’s construction in 1916. (more…)

To provide the analytical backbone for the much-needed revitalization of the study and practice of eugenics, one need only present a clear and stark dichotomy: If not eugenics, then dysgenics.

There is no stasis; there is no in-between. It truly is black and white. The fitness of human populations is a zero-sum game: the more eugenic one is, the less dysgenic it is, and vice versa. Because all human populations are finite in number, and because all people are born and eventually die, eugenics and dysgenics cannot both rise or sink with the tide within a single population.

Edward Dutton
Witches, Feminism and the Fall of the West
Whitefish, MT: Radix & Washington Summit Publishers, 2021

Are you tired of witches organizing to try to burn you at the stake, rather than the other way around? I know I am. Edward Dutton, a British-born professor of evolutionary psychology, explains in a new book what witches represented historically and how the same type of people came to be dominant in contemporary society.

A sight you’d likely see more of if conservatives have their way with their proposed pro-natalist policies.

A common liberal argument against the pro-life movement is that it’s not truly pro-life. In the liberal imagination, “pro-life” means being for more government assistance and universal healthcare. Liberals claim conservatives want to punish single moms by forcing them to have children without any resources to raise them. A true pro-life society would ensure these women got all the help they allegedly need. (more…)

Dokonce i mainstreamová média dnes začínají mluvit o tom, že inteligence, tak jak ji zachycují IQ testy, ve větší části světa upadá. Sám tuto vlastnost chápu jako částečně geneticky podmíněnou. Geny vaší inteligenci stanovují jakýsi strop: můžeme tak rozlišovat IQ potenciální a skutečné. Biologicky je podmíněno IQ potenciální, řekněme, že dosahuje výše 120. Při správné péči a výchově, tj. kvalitní stravě v dětství, dostatečnému cvičení a adekvátním množství mentálně podnětných aktivit dosáhne vaše IQ někdy kolem pětadvacátého roku – kdy je vývoj mozku dovršen – inteligence 120.

Scholars recognize that the persistence of the black-white IQ gap transcends social class — but we cannot truly explore the subject without discussing dysgenics. The heritability of intelligence indicates that smart people produce brighter children. (more…)

Even the mainstream media are acknowledging that intelligence, as measured by IQ, is declining in most of the world. My view of intelligence is that is partially genetically determined. Genes give you a ceiling for intelligence; you have a potential IQ and a real IQ. Your biology determines your potential IQ; let’s say it is 120. If you receive the proper nurture, i.e. good food in childhood, exercise, and cognitively stimulating activities, by the time you are 25 (the age the brain fully develops) or before, you will have an IQ of 120.
