Yes, nerds, autists, and geeks aren't even close to being smart

Now that I have my own safe space, I can finally admit to one of my most non-PC beliefs, which would get me banned on every Internet forum, sub-culture, etc (since they control them).

As I said before about Internet People, just as many of them are misfits, the majority of them are also nerds, in fact probably around 95%. The two syndromes overlap.

Unfortunately the nerds have rewritten the entirety of human history (also with some help from Hollywood) to make it sound as if they are the true geniuses, the real gifted ones, the mavericks, bla bla bla, unjustly punished by mediocre society, etc etc etc. 

The truth is that, despite this grandiose narrative, you will never find a nerd, autist, or geek (on any Internet sub-culture) with amazing discoveries in math or science or engineering, profound knowledge of art or literature or linguistics, capable of writing symphonies or painting masterpieces, or really doing anything remotely respectable or cool-- and this is because nerds are dumb, unoriginal, mediocre, slop-consuming weirdos.

The nerds do brag about certain things, in fact all they do is brag about how unique and special they are, but many of their achievements are either incredibly common or a sign of brain damage.

Typically this involves something to do with their ever-growing list of mental illnesses (it's kwalled not bweing a neuwotypical DAAAAAD!), their mind-blowing knowledge of Wikipedia, their adherence to various holier-than-thou Internet ideologies (which however revolve entirely around online preening, and seemingly preclude real-world action), their hatred of the vapid sluts who ignored them throughout all of high school (fuckin' women!), their habit of regurgitating meaningless phrases, and their ability to perform very minor janitorial work on the computer.  

That last one, which is more the result of them wasting hours on the Internet than a sign of giftedness (see the completely broken state of the online world, which has been built by these same geniuses), they view as a key that unlocks mastery over every subject on Earth, despite never reading, learning, or doing anything.

In fact, you will be astonished at the level of smug contempt that they have for every job and subject on Earth, and you will be equally astonished by the basic ignorance they have of every job and subject on Earth-- truly an impressive combination! 

If the nerds were capable of creativity, and had an art form, it would be more than anything else the revenge fantasy-- bitter masturbation is all they are really capable of-- and this is the only area of life where the rejects do show signs of creativity, intelligence, and originality. 

All nerd sub-cultures, ie most of the Internet, are defined by their endless fixation with punishing others. 

The fact that they can only fantasize about harming other people, never doing anything good or praiseworthy, is revealing of what the core of nerdiness really is, which is just a profound degree of self-absorption (bordering on autism or sociopathy). They are simply not capable of making genuine connections with others, and they worship themselves to such a degree that social integration into a larger unit than their individual selves is impossible. 

Rather than view their basic failure to adjust to reality as indicative of some deficit on their part, and work on fixing themselves to be more aligned with the world, the retarded nerds blame reality instead, and then spend their entire lives seething about the fact, concocting theories to explain it, and waiting for everyone else to realize how smart they are (this never happens, which is what masturbation is for).  

6 reasons why this right-wing edgelord loves Jews, and why you bigots should too!

God, I can't believe I have to write this post. 

My entire feed is flooded with Russian misinformation, made by low IQ morons for other low IQ morons.

I'm literally shaking rn*, asking myself how this could have happened, with everything the Jews have done for America, but those ungrateful assholes among the goyim apparently can't see it though...

Me (he/him, 45M) and my husband (he/him, 51M, gay, Jewish) decided to make a list, and it's got a LOT of science in it, in order to debunk this misinformation once and for all. 

So yeah, let's unpack this:

1. Jews never bullied me in high school, unlike brutish low-IQ negroids

I've discussed this previously. Unfortunately I was victimized, spat on, laughed, taunted, beaten, slapped, traumatized, and ritually abused every day of every week for the seven and a half years I spent in high school-- and especially by blacks.

Something about being fat, gay, retarded, autistic, short, awkward, creepy, and weird at the same time just didn't resonate with the fucking vapid normals... God, low-IQ neurotypicals, amirite?

It's only when I started to read about the experiences of the great Jewish people, and the profound and unjustified suffering inflicted upon them by the jealous masses, that I realized I'd found the closest thing to someone who could understand me.

(That's also when I met my husband, in case anyone is curious.) 

2. Jews provide me with all the porn I need, in the comfort of my home

Uhmm, so yeah, I just went there.

I can feel some traditionalists out there getting ready to pervert-shame-- well listen up, deniers, SCIENCE says it's healthy, there's nothing wrong with watching 8 + hrs of hardcore porn a day like I do.  

It's just part of living a natural and well-balanced lifestyle, not something those right-wing bigots would know anything about, heh... 

And you wouldn't want to live without your crippling porn addiction, would you? Hmmm? 

Exactly, be grateful.

3. Jews are law-abiding, according to Wikipedia

If it says it on there, it must be true. 

And yeah I do read a lot of Wikipedia, that's where I get all of my views from, in case you can't tell. I'm kind of a quirky, high IQ, nerd-- there aren't a lot of us around these days, but it's our job to fight disinformation, and spread the truth.  

(And no, I don't know any math or science or history, but who cares about that anyways?) 

Get obliterated by FUCKING SCIENCE, racists. Case closed!

4. OK fine they do commit some crimes, but they have a high IQ, and what's a little bit of crime anyways?

A lot of goyim reading this are feeling kinda jealous, I'm guessing, of those with superior incomes and financial success in life.  

Too low IQ, too busy working on cars and doing other numbskull activities, to make something of your intellectual potential? Resentful much, Christians? 

Yeah, I for one can appreciate and admire the benefits of high-IQ pointless financial speculation and child trafficking-- that's the Jewish way of doing things, and if you bigots can't appreciate it, well then that says everything we need to know. 

5. It's literally fucking 2026

That's it, that's the argument.

Also just stop asking questions. 

And you have a low IQ, BTW.

6. Uh

 

*I'm guessing a lot of you Boomers and older folks reading are feeling a little bit confused by what I'm talking about, hehe--that's kind of a youth-slang term we use, which stands for 'right now'.

The 'doom porn' phenomenon

I'm thinking about writing a series addressing the various diseases Internet People have, but from the point of view of explaining them all through some kind of sociological view (rather than placing individual responsibility, or blame, or whatever)-- something about the rising levels of autism, widespread alienation due to social breakdown, or the erosion of local institutions and their replacement by amoral market forces... the point is look at the bigger picture.

But first and as a special case I wanted to discuss the general 'doom porn' phenomenon, now that I've been poasting about climate change in particular, since it seems relevant.

Rather than viewing it as a unique phenomenon, I think it can mainly be explained by the general model of addictive behavior.

What happens with very severe cases of addiction is that the mind and body of the addict are effectively consumed, hollowed out, and taken over-- rather than the person being in control, they are more like an empty vessel that lives solely to chase after stronger and stronger doses (before the eventual collapse occurs). 

This process is accompanied of course by the withdrawal from or abandonment of all social relationships, which goes in hand with their hollowed-out personality: contrary to Self Esteem fantasies, and a lot of Internet nonsense, one's personality is largely the result of interactions and relationships with others, not a Platonic ideal that exists apart from or above mundane reality.

Abandoning social ties results in personal disintegration, in which a healthy personal life is replaced with fetishes and obsessions.

This is why addicts view criticism of their addictions as an existential threat, and lash out accordingly. It's very different from how normal people treat criticism of their habits, but makes sense under the circumstances: their addiction has become their personality.

With that in mind, much of the whole 'doom porn' & climate change movement starts to make sense. 

It's revealing that the name itself is derived from an pornography, an obsessive pointless fetish, rather than anything scholarly or scientific or spiritual or religious (despite the branding).

The actual process of participating in 'the movement' (more of a cult) consists of consuming your weekly / daily fix in individual isolation, with no long term satisfaction or communal bonding, though there may be other junkies present-- no different from a chemical addiction.  

And revealingly, the majority of the climate change people themselves have a history of hardcore substance abuse: addictive in one facet of life usually means addictive in others. (Whether the personality leads to substance abuse, or the substance abuse leads to that kind of personality, is beyond the scope of the post.)

I don't say this to slander them personally, but to point out what they have in common-- the fact that substance abuse is so widespread in those circles, compared to the normal population, is indicative of the nature of the whole thing.

You might expect people with such problems would act in a humble manner, as opposed to the puritanical scolding and lecturing that the Greens are famous for, but there is a strange overlap between hedonism, transgression, and anti-social behavior and a victim / superiority complex-- they seem to reinforce each other.

The Green pats himself on the shoulder as he lashes out at you, or something like that... 

Their response to criticism is never mild amusement (as it would be if you were arguing against largely accepted scientific facts, like evolution) and nor does it take the tone of neutral academic disagreement, which would still be respectful of the opponent, while treating him as wrong / deluded / misinformed. 

Rather it takes the form of seething dismissal, intense hostility, and branding the opponent in highly moralistic terms. It implies personal sinfulness and wickedness, and suggests imminent punishment-- it's both the panicked response of a junkie whose habit is going to be taken away, and who must lash out to prevent internal collapse, and also the behavior of a self-appointed torturer looking for an excuse to indulge in cruelty. 

Examining the broader beliefs of the climate change people also reveals them to be more into pseudo-scientific Cargo Cult slop rather than anything rooted in reality, once again suggesting the 'science' part is a pure LARP-- there's a widespread belief in these circles in things like magical healing substances (even as we know there is a clear link between cannabis use, and substances in general, and schizophrenia), sentient computers, new sources of free limitless energy (none of which work), fixing pollution from from Asia by building windmills in Germany, and generally a lot of disordered, confused, and incoherent thinking. 

This is, once again, not to pick on them individually, but to establish that people who show sloppy thinking on the micro level are not going to be reliable for macro-level stuff, all of which requires an even greater level of consistency, rigor, and impartiality. 

Taking the r/collapse subreddit as an example, a lot of the thinking 'in action' essentially boils down to hysterically exaggerating the hell out of a handful of insights or observations, usually based off whatever the current trend is in the news now, and then using that to feed the addiction to imminent doom.  

Something like this:

1. Current trend

2. Another current trend

3. Extrapolation

4. Hysterical prediction of imminent apocalypse, based off of extrapolation

They start off with a solid structure and then go on to build something that is very flimsy on top of that.  

Examples? 

1. COVID vaccines didn't work

2. COVID has not been eliminated (b/c vaccines didn't work)

3. More people are being re-infected, and excess mortality remains elevated

4. 60% of the population will soon be dead

Or:

1. Micro-plastics are everywhere

2. Micro-plastics are likely harmful for individuals, and for the environment

3. Micro-plastics affect the soil

4. Human agriculture will fail, and most of the population will soon be dead of starvation

(Another trick is to refute criticism by bringing it back to points 1 & 2, as if the critics were disagreeing with the data itself and arguing against reality, when it's the exaggerated extrapolation that people naturally find suspicious, overly paranoid, and unscientific.)

It's remarkable how many times human society has almost collapsed, in these people's eyes-- as their subreddit grows and grows (and r/ collapse is just one example) the number of apocalyptic predictions also increases exponentially, and this makes the way society manages to keep on going, in spite of imminent doom, all the more miraculous. 

Many of them go on to produce a fantastic track record of apocalyptic predictions, which are always on the verge of coming true (and which therefore can never be falsified). Addicts exist in an eternal present, and being on an endless treadmill to nowhere in particular, they cannot take stock of their previous or future behavior.   

I can only conclude that it's as if the breakdown of societal order is creating a new group of gurus who make a living off of people's widespread personal problems, which are in turn the result of collective collapse.

In exchange for cult leader status, donations, and clicks they provide their desperate followers with what they crave-- in this case, the overwhelming sense of imminent doom, which perhaps allows the desperate people to envision an easy way out of their own lives, or excuse their own passivity and laziness.

Why I rarely discuss climate change

I rarely discuss climate change, because I consider the entire thing to be a kind of slop subject, an Internet fixation for online nerds, and possibly one of the worst of them (worse than even the JOOS). 

Nothing good can come from bringing it up, because the worst Internet people come crawling out of the woodwork-- whiny hysterical weirdos with a doom fetish and an addiction to puritanical lecturing and scolding: they view you as an embodiment of the people that never invited them to any parties in high school and college, and they view the subject as an opportunity for revenge, finally. 

The sensible thing, therefore, is to avoid it altogether and never get into any debates on it.  

Whether they consciously intend it or not (probably not since they don't seem very smart, more spergy than anything else) the climate people often seem to function as a kind of controlled opposition to the dominant neoliberal agenda of endless growth. 

It's revealing that they don't focus their energy on practical changes, and building a coalition of allies to bring down the entire framework of the last 50 years, but instead fixate on fighting the people on their side (who may be disaffected with endless growth, but who do not want austerity either). 

They're ultimately entirely concerned with tone-policing, witch-hunting, scolding, mocking, and lecturing and they try to turn every engagement into a debate where they make fun of you, rather than build engagement, cement any connections, or whatever-- it's all just whiny tattletale, power-tripping, and bootlicking behavior. 

It's the self-appointed (and probably unpaid) hall monitors of the global elite, using the current crisis of the system as an opportunity to indulge in their revenge-of-the-nerds type fantasies.

Many of these people envision the collapse in a karmic sense. They have an endless amount of cynicism for the future of the system, but they suspend all of that when it comes to the future that will take place after The Fall: everything will be wonderful, the wicked will be punished (everybody who hated me IRL, ie most people) and the virtuous will be rewarded (me and the other annoying nerds). 

Ironically enough, the actual collapse of law, order, authority, etc ultimately always results in a ruthless struggle for power and resources between competing factions (Syria, Latin America, etc)-- in which case it's precisely the power-tripping skinnyfat nerds who would be forcibly RETVRN'd to their natural environment (the high school lockers): they're not physically skilled enough to know how to do anything practical, they're too clever-silly / smart-dumb to be trusted with anything complex, and even if they somehow had any skills their whiny, self-focused, and anti-social personalities ensure that they can only thrive as bootlickers in a massive top-down system, whereas any real-world team would immediately ostracize them.

Getting back to the real-world, though, this continuous purge of the left ensures that the average voter is presented with two alternatives: delusional huckster growth by globalist scammers nobody trusts or, on the other hand, privation 'for your own good' administered by the beneficent globalist elites, who happen not to practice a single aspect of their ideology (private planes, mansions, and caviar for me; public transportation, overcrowded apartments, and slop for you!). As I said, it obstructs change while LARPing as radicalism.

The climate people also love to cry and rage and whine about the evil knevil WHITE MAN and his domination of the world, desire to rape Mother Nature (don't ask about their weird fetishes), and so on and so forth-- just endless lamentations-- but then of course they say nothing about the tremendous rise in emissions from 3rd-world countries that's taken place since the 80s, and is still going strong in the 21st century, thanks to off-shoring during the neoliberal era.

The system they have in mind is one where the average worker in some shithole post-industrial service economy in Britain or France or wherever will have his entire routine micro-analyzed and carefully scrutinized by overpaid bureaucrats with useless college degrees-- is this food good for the environment? what about eating chemicals instead? could you give up this? what about not having a car?-- while China, India, and Vietnam (and the global corporations that have off-shored production there) operate massive sweatshops which dump endless tons of garbage into the environment, with zero regulations over anything, and nobody does or even says anything about it (let alone the brave climate warriors). 

Somehow they inhabit a fantastic world where the continent of Europe showing lower emissions, and the continent of Asia having higher emissions, is just a random accident-- as if they weren't DIRECTLY LINKED TO EACH OTHER-- nah just a total coincidence, nothing to see here, but make sure to throw your trash into one of sixteen different bins (while we off-shore your job to some sweatshop) and pay this new tax we're going to introduce (now that American manufacturing in Vietnam is destroying the environment).

Then they accuse their opponents of being anti-science and having low IQs.

It's really the ultimate product of neoliberal delusion, a fake & gay ideology built on a hallucination-- it's somehow self-contradicting, deeply retarded, socially alienating, and impossible to bring about, and all of those AT THE SAME TIME too! 

What do Americans eat?

I've decided to do a mini-series on what Americans actually eat. 

We'll start off by reviewing what the experts say is the key to a healthy diet:

This is the infamous food pyramid, the basis for all the standard advice you hear from nOOtRiTIOn eXpERts-- red meat and animal fats, bad; vegetables, grains, and fruits, good.

If the advice is correct, a population eating more of the good foods (and less of the bad ones) should have become vastly more healthy- we can put that to a simple test. 

The Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has a database which covers the the food supply of various agricultural commodities from 1961-2013.

https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/FBSH

(They also have a newer database covering 2010 onward, using updated methods, but I didn't use it. I figured 1961-2013 should be enough.)

The number I looked at is the food supply quantity (kg / capita / year): the total supply in kg of the particular food, divided by the population that year. That way it doesn't just reflect the fact that there are more people in America compared to the 1960s. 

This is the supply / availability, not consumption, so there are going to be losses as a result of spoilage, shrinkage while cooking, etc-- these aren't perfect numbers.

But they're not going to produce more of what doesn't sell, so I think it's pretty useful as a measure of what Americans eat.

Starting with the foods at the bottom of the pyramid: 

 

All these wonderful healthy amazing foods have seen BIG increases since ~ 1970 or 1980, in line with the experts' recommendations.

Now dairy and animal products:

 ('Milk' includes cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, while excluding butter.)

Dairy and egg consumption have stayed the same, while consumption of animal fats is down. I'd be interested in comparing whole vs skim / low-fat, but that wasn't available.

Meanwhile:

 

Nothing wrong with more of those foods!

Finally, the meat section of the food pyramid: 

Beef consumption has fallen off, while pork has fluctuated but mainly stayed the same-- Americans are eating *less* red meat today than they were in the 60s and 70s. 

What about poultry and fish?

Poultry consumption has gone up massively, and fish is higher too. While experts are mainly in the vegan / vegetarian camp, these are the types of meat they tolerate.

Comparing beef and poultry:

Americans have been substituting poultry for beef since the 1990s.

So what about all the wonderful health gains?

Well:

This is the rate of increase in life expectancy, compared to peer countries-- it has been declining in the U.S since 1982. By 2010 it was at only 0.03 years.

This is the height of different birth cohorts. Again, we find a general decline following the 80s-- and not just reflecting more and more Hispanics: white Americans are shorter today than they used to be.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352827325001260

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db360.html

We've also gotten WAY more obese-- and this only looks at the early 2000s, not even the 60s or 70s. Family photos, movies / TV shows, etc of the 60s and 70s barely show any obese or overweight people--today it's become the norm.

This entire post gotten quite long already from all the charts, so I'm not going to add a text-wall-- what I'll do instead is post my analysis and observations in the follow-up / part 2-.

Trying to sum things up, however, we've followed the experts' recommendations: more vegetables and fruits and grains than ever before, lean proteins over red meat and especially beef, vegetable oils over animal fats, etc. 

And yet with all of these healthy foods making up more and more of the diet, we're not healthier than we used to be (as you would predict): the population is shorter and sicker, and the growth in our life expectancy has slowed down.

Simple conclusion? The advice does not make sense!
