    Traditional Conservatism Can Never Defeat The Enlightenment Left

    White students pondering over a Herbert Marcuse lecture on the “one-dimensional mind” of the white race.

    1,364 words

    No one knows Friedrich Julius Stahl (1802-1861). He was a legal philosopher of Jewish parentage who converted to Christianity and became a defender of Prussian Lutheran conservatism against the imposition of Enlightenment values. He rejected Hegel’s argument (more…)

    Kevin MacDonald’s Individualism & The Western Liberal Tradition
    Part 3: The Origins of the Weird Whites

    2,069 words

    The essence of liberalism is individualism, and the primordial evolutionary fact of individualism is the “the cutting-off from the wider kinship group,” and the origins of this cutting-off can be traced back to Northern hunter-gatherers in Europe during the last glacial age in the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods.

    Race & Psychopathic Personality

    Richard Lynn
    Race Differences in Psychopathic Personality: An Evolutionary Analysis
    Augusta, Ga.: Washington Summit Publishers, 2019

    Herrnstein and Murray’s The Bell Curve (1994) demonstrated that racial differences in rates of social pathology in the United States – including crime, poverty, long-term unemployment, out of wedlock births, and welfare dependency – can in part be explained by differences in average intelligence.

    The Higher Cognitive Fluidity of the European Mind

    Julian Jaynes

    7,982 words

    Half of my book, The Uniqueness of Western Civilization, is about discrediting the multicultural claim that, as late as the mid-1700s, the West was no more advanced than the major civilizations of Asia, or China in particular, and that only a set of fortuitous circumstances gave the West a chance to industrialize first. The West did not “stumble” accidentally into the New World, I argued, and it was not “easy access” to the resources of the Americas, enslavement of blacks, or availability of cheap coal in Britain that made Britain’s takeoff possible.

    Jean Piaget & the Superior Psychogenetic Cognition of Europeans, Part II

    Representatives of two stages of mental development: Rembrandt, Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (1653)

    6,358 words

    Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

    Why did the West rise to become the most powerful civilization, the progenitor of modernity, the culture with the most prodigious creators? The answers are plenty. But it may be that a child psychologist, Jean Piaget, has offered the best theoretical framework to explain the difference between the West and the Rest. (more…)

    Jean Piaget & the Superior Psychogenetic Cognition of Europeans, Part I

    Jean Piaget

    4,677 words

    Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

    Everyone has heard about Jean Piaget’s (1896-1980) theory of the cognitive development of children. But no one knows that his theory placed Europeans at the top of the cognitive ladder with most humans stuck at the bottom — unless Europeans taught them how to think.

    Piaget is widely recognized as the “greatest child psychologist of the twentieth century.” Unlike many other influential figures, Piaget’s discoveries have withstood the test of time. (more…)

    Mate: Become the Man Women Want
    New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2015

    Time was when a young man did not need to master evolutionary psychology in order to find himself a girl. The adult world provided the young with ready-made social rituals for meeting, assessing one another’s prospects as a mate, and (eventually) entering into a lifelong covenant to bear and raise a new generation.

    I have already mentioned that scientists speculate that cave art (and religion, language, etc.) comes about as a result of some kind of genetic mutation, perhaps a “sudden, serendipitous, genetically-based brain reorganization.” (more…)

    Translated by Greg Johnson

    Specialists in evolutionary psychology claim that there are important differences between the sexes, and that these were acquired during the evolution of the species. To what does the New Right appeal to support its “differentialist feminism”?

    Darwin’s Other Idea:
    Geoffrey Miller’s The Mating Mind

    1,925 words

    Geoffrey Miller
    The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature
    New York: Random House, 2000

    Darwinian evolution is seen as a cold, ruthless struggle for survival that shaped what we eventually became. But, the critic responds, whence kindness, humor, language, playfulness, art and creativity? Scientists have tried to explain altruism towards relatives as kin selection and other forms of morality as based on reciprocity, but we all often help people who are not related to us when there’s nothing to be gained.
