47 thoughts on “IQ, Immigration, and the Welfare State: A Recipe for Civilizational Suicide”

1. And so we have made it absolutely taboo to talk about standard intelligence particularly as it relates to brown and black people. We don’t talk about Asian’s IQ because it disrupts the narrative (and by Asians for you EU readers I am referring to Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Koreans.)
   How do you import Somalis and Eritreans into your country and expect your school scores to remain stable or even improve? I’m actually amazed that US scores are flat rather than declining. I can only attribute that to the dumbing down of the tests.
   I purchased two books not too long ago that were “high school history books” written in the 1920’s. The forward claimed that they were a quick glance at world history as this was just a high school text… I dare say that now they would be Masters degree college texts as the language alone would be far beyond anything a high school student would comprehend or even a typical college student.
   Regression to the mean baby, that’s where it’s at.

   • Idiocracy is our future, except it will be much worse.

   • For the purposes of the diversity user alles crowd Eastern Asians are considered as token whites with some level of privilege.

     • White privilege?
       Oh, you mean IQ!

2. Yes, but…at 10:00, he discusses Asians, and his verdict is that they aren’t significant to this issue because, like Europeans, they support themselves and aren’t as fertile as 3d worlders. He’s making the common mistake of not visiting California.

   California is basically a colony of China. True, the Chinese are high IQ and have all the good things attached to that, but they are absolutely not in danger of disappearing. Here is why: because there are a lot of Chinese, and even though they don’t have huge families, most families have children, including high-IQ professional women.

   Even though the Chinese can be wonderful people and neighbors, they are not Europeans and Americans, and they are replacing us. They are somewhat like Jews, they keep their identity, even as they succeed in the new country. Unlike Jews, they will never pass as white, so they must be more alienated and self-conscious than Jews. And unlike Jews, there really are a lot of Chinese.

   So, anyone who has preconceived ideas about the model minority, please come to California and see how well the Chinese are assimilating to America. It’s more like occupation. And it’s deliberate. Ignore this issue and you’ll have nothing to worry about WRT Islam and Africans. The Chinese will handle it.

   • Hi Ketzel,

     I have an idea. The Chinese can attend assimilation lessons to become more like California and adopt Californian identity.

     What are your responses to my idea?
     Thank You.
     Zheng Yong.

3. Anyone seen the movie _Idiocracy_?

   We’re living in it.

   • Of course! It is one of my favorite.

4. This is the truth that cannot speak its name. I used to be a biologist, and can assure you, the human animal is no more exempt from the laws governing populations and individuals than any other animal. Environmental pressure ensures only the animals who are able to exist and reproduce, continue. Death before reproductive age, or inability (or unwillgness) to reproduce, ensures that organism does not pass its genes to the next generation. The welfare state has ensured that the halt, the lame and the stupid, who would not have been able to reach reproductive age, do so, and whats more, have endless children that the state supports because the parents are unable to. The able, healthy and smart, have between 0 and 2 children, late in life. You don’t need to be that clever to extrapolate that through several generations to see where it leads. While I by no means think we should leave people to die in the streets, I do think some sort of cap on children, if they are in receipt of benefits, should be implemented. And why would you import a group of people with vastly inferior IQ, culture and work ethic? It will eventually dilute and swamp the indigenous population. Why should I, who had 2 children because thats what we thought we could afford to support through childhood and university (and wanted a 3rd), have to pay for some ignorant, feckless lout to have 8?

   • Without aid to unwed mothers, these people would be simple parasites. But now, they provide what we need: motherhood. And we must need it because we are so eager to pay for so much of it.

     Professional motherhood is a demanding task restricting resources available for proper mate selection. And anyone insensible enough to aspire to becoming a broodmare requires viable sperm from high IQ donors just to maintain stasis, even if acquired by eminent domain.

     “So drop’em, Brainiacs, while the matrons prompt a deposit. It’s for the good of our species, I tell you! And it is customary to tip the matrons.”

     • Uh, there are tons of studies that show children raised in single parent families are hugely disadvantaged in their development.

       • Oh sure, there are some disadvantages, like single-parent homes keeping the maximum security prisons chock-a-block full of brutal psychopaths, just think of it as another avenue to full employment. Not everyone gets to ride the race horses, someone must muck the stalls.

5. This is fair, albeit a bit one-sided view.
   Not all scientific/technological inventions were made in the West.
   Decimal numbers, gunpowder, jet propulsion, air balloons, compass, paper, printing press, – all these enabling novelties came from China/India.
   Confucius lived about 2500 years before Kant, and still they share some similarities. 🙂

   Also, the linear view of civilization development through demographics only, is deficient.
   In high IQ world, single individual’s contribution and influence (including influence on demography) may be far beyond gonads function, and last beyond a lifespan.
   …

   • The Chinese invented the rocket, but not the jet.

6. I think it’s worth having a read of this item from Wikipedia which helps to explain what is happening regarding the swamping of high IQ countries with those of a lower IQ:

   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

7. Kill the welfare state and the problem will be solved.

   • A lack of foresight has ruined many a good man. Here’s the story of one now:

     [A] 33-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., resident has reportedly set a Knox County record for his ability to reproduce. He has 30 children with 11 women. And nine of those children were born in the last three years….

     But Hatchett is back in the news this week because he’s struggling to make ends meet on his minimum-wage job.

     for an even more gruesome depiction of this recurring tragedy see:
     http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/18/nation/la-na-nn-tennessee-man-has-30-kids-20120518

     A reproductive hero to some, why is this over-achiever being victimized?

     And if bastard children are such [vulgar intensifier] assets, why aren’t we paying both of them?

8. Helmuth Nyborg pretty much nails it. If his eighteen minute speech could be reduced to four or five sentences, it easily could serve as Scandinavia’s (and Europe’s) epitaph.

   Very few people fully understand that, by conventional scientific standards, an IQ of 70 is, essentially, semi-retarded. Expecting high tech countries to absorb countless thousands of tribalistic, marginally intelligent, and fast-breeding people who exhibit an obvious unwillingness (if not outright, adamant refusal) to assimilate goes far beyond any classic “recipe for disaster”.

   Led to the genetic slaughterhouse by deluded “progressives” like Angela Merkel, the EU is hurtling towards a renewed conflict whose ultimate dimensions may well eclipse those of WWII.

   As I have previously stated, this situation and its potential outcomes are BINARY.

   When push comes to shove, there will be little (if any) in the way of proverbial “middle ground”. Even as Europe finally recovers from the cultural shock of three massive conflicts (i.e., WWI, WWII, and the Cold War), The Continent’s collective abhorrence of confrontation will continue driving its population and bureaucrats towards the favorite (and utterly dysfunctional) EU strategy of “nuanced dialogue”.

   The central problem being that these Eurocrats can nuance their blathering dialogue until they’re blue in the collective face and it will mean exactly diddly squat to these invading hordes of semiliterate, fighting-age, corrupt, rapist criminals.

   Consider why Nyborg is so concerned about Denmark’s collective intelligence. Since Sweden’s 1895 introduction of the Nobel Prize, tiny Denmark has collected over a DOZEN of them in many of the most challenging categories. From Wikipedia, “To date, of the 13 Nobel Prizes won by Danish people, 5 have been for medicine, 3 have been for physics, 3 have been for literature, 1 has been for chemistry and one has been for peace.”

   When one considers Denmark’s diminutive population, its achievements easily rank against the world’s Jewish diaspora in terms of (its own astonishing) number of Nobel prizes per “capita”. Given the tremendous quantity of Jewish Nobel Prize recipients, this is no small matter. Then add to this the glaringly conspicuous lack of awards attained by Muslims in the hard science categories (or any at all, for that matter).

   When these numbers are integrated into this equation, the notion of Denmark somehow managing to successfully absorb a multitude of unproductive, hostile, and difficult-to-educate intruders isn’t just counterintuitive, it’s SUICIDAL.

   As Nyborg so succinctly points out, Caucasians are being bred out of existence (voluntarily or otherwise). Need I mention that there are very few peaceful ways to swiftly reverse such a devastating trend?

   Angela Merkel and her sycophantic, brain-dead coterie of EU collaborators are leading all of Western Europe directly towards a racially-based conflict of the most ugly sort. The supremely hideous aspect of this soon-to-arrive crisis is that it could have been averted simply by prohibiting this massive, unvetted influx of avowed enemies.

   And still this BINARY outcome hovers above Western Europe like an evil spirit attending the birth of some calamitous future tyrant. What shall it be?

   A.) The collapse and eventual looting of Western civilization’s European roots?

   B.) A civil war that violently purges The Continent of its new (and unwelcome) arrivals?

   Were the majority of European people readily blamed for this horrific outcome, it would be far too easy to shout, “A plague on both of your houses!” and walk away.

   However, the Caucasian race cannot afford to sacrifice so much of its genetic heritage on the altar of political purity. Somehow, one more stinking time, America probably will be obliged to rescue The Continent from itself … if only to secure the nuclear arsenals of Britain and France from falling into Islamic hands.

   All of which predicts B … Along with its repellent requirement to liquidate at least a million violent invaders who think that A. is a perfectly fine choice.

   I welcome anyone to suggest a “Plan C”, because there sure doesn’t seem to be one.

   • I think it’s quite possible to get both A and B — A first, B shortly afterwards.

   • Uh, America has its own massive problems with the Latino recolonization of California and the Southwestern states.

   • “Plan C” could be that Russian forces move in by invitation at some late stage of the conflict, liberate Europe and form what Guillaume Faye predicted and called ‘The Euro-Siberian Federation’ – a vast Muslim (and sub-Saharan African) – free entity stretching from the Atlantic to the Bering Sea.

   • There might be a sort of a Plan C, or rather a “gradual progress of all the above” – not necessarily erupting into an outright and omnipresent violence. I am thinking of a protracted agony of the West where there is no will to act, fight, decide and turn things around: just slow decline, day by day on end.

     That arguable agony is most likely gonna end when the society gets sufficiently “Venezuelized” – but even in this country so far: no war or widespread skirmishes and violence engulfing its whole territory. That’s why I think Venezuela may be a prefiguring snapshot of Europe’s development … and being European myself and sensing my inner unexcitement to fight make this scenario even more imaginable – alas.

9. This is the definition of Scandinavia today:
   Scandinavia is a historical and cultural region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethnocultural North Germanic heritage and mutually intelligible North Germanic languages.[2] In English usage, Scandinavia sometimes refers to the area known as the Scandinavian Peninsula.[1]

   It is just heart breaking to think that in the future this description will only ever appear in history books.

10. A prescient article well written and succinctly presented. Thank you Baron and Dymphna for featuring it.

11. Forbidden truth. The sheep must only look down and remain silent while they are herded over the precipice.

    “Stay quiet, and you’ll be okay.”
    Mohammed Atta to the doomed passengers….

    • Totally true Matt, if you consider that death brings resolution.

12. Dear Baron: Thanks for posting this video. It only confirms what a lot of us suspected it´s happening not only in Europe but in America (Latin and North) too. The problem is that if you talk about this subject – considered taboo by lefties and SJW- you are, as you pointed out, a BIG WAYCIST. But that´s because lefties and SJW totally ignore facts that contradict their ideology.
    BTW, do you know where we can find more research or videos of Prof. Nyborg?

13. Don’t you know you are a racist for telling the truth.
    Northern Europe is dead but it looks like Eastern Europe may survive the coming difficulties.

    • “Northern Europe is dead…..”

      Only if those who impose the insanity of egalitarianism continue to rule. They can be overthrown. Admittedly, things will have to get worse, much worse, before Europeans in their ten thousands are willing to risk everything for the survival of their SUPERIOR civilization. But overthrow will not be impossible when conditions of extreme stress prevail.

      Think of it — as it now stands it is a scandal to declare our civilization superior. But wait till it is inescapably and undeniably obvious that the Muslims are untermenschen. Then watch the egalitarian lie collapse and the fight for the survival of the superior begin.

14. It’s amazing to me how arrogant and ignorant atheists really are. Even the Chinese get that our incredible cultural advances are related to Christianity. These cultural marxists and darwinists (all of a piece) are in a time warp. They’ve not kept up with DNA discoveries and real scientific breakthroughs. Science was and is a natural outgrowth of seeking God and trying to understand and appreciate His works as well as improving our lot here on earth, healing the sick and nuturing our families. As we get further from Christian ethics this good intentions become tools of evil. Science becomes twisted and used to destroy God’s works. [Insult redacted].

    • So that’s why many Chinese nowadays embrace Christianity, right?

15. Back in the nineties I became enamored of the famous and infamous African explorers. The premier one being Sir Richard Francis Burton. Read three of his biographies and part of a fourth authored by his wife. Please read about this man if you’ve never have. He raised every red flag about the heart and soul of Islam despite the fact that he was accused of going native. Which I always interpreted as conversion to the faith due to immersion or passion.

    One of the subjects that always accompanies reading about these men is big game hunting in Africa. Too most readers often hunting supersedes the native and non-native peoples, the linguistics, and geography of Africa, as regards the great explorers of Africa. Daresay they’re more books written about African big game hunting than even about the men and women who boldly lost themselves in uncharted Africa.

    Here’s my crypto-analogous argument that Islamo-marxism is very much akin and a continuation of post Victorian age “going native”. Which I also argue is akin to evolution of zoological parks or reserves.

    The main companion in the first East African explorations with Sir RF Burton was Captain John Speke. Speke historically is described as a one man holocaust meat grinder towards big game and small game wildlife in Africa. The fact is this was the typical description attributed to most 19th century hunters in Africa up to and including President Theodore Roosevelt, another 19th century zoological cretin, as interpreted in the politically correct modern zeitgeist.

    When we enter into the 20th century, motion pictures and photography witness to the whole planet the awesome variety of Gods’ creative diaspora of creatures across Africa and also the accompanying carnage. This initiates a wellspring of pathos in the hermetically sealed (cutoff from our hunter gatherer roots) population which surmises “let’s not hunt earths species to death”, let’s collect them in zoological parks and reserves. We’ll feed these beasts from our abundance (welfare) and educate the public how even the most predatory and dangerous beasts our our friends (Islam; subset; “Paganism”). As more and more people are propagandized into this Orwellian truth, it begets movements to release the beasts to move freely amongst the people and even to suffer carnage for we have no right to impose our cultural and moral inhibitions upon these equally invaluable species and their cultural and moral choices. ( Relativism of Workers of the world Unite!}

    The best dichotomous example is the early 19th century circus with its’ “lion tamers” and the harsh and vicious handling of especially elephants (regulated by beatings and enslaved in chains) and the cages that cruelly imprison “big game”. Then compare this too late 20th century celebrities lounging around with “pet lions and tigers”, being celebrated as forward thinking superior individuals. A simplistic mask to IQ and easily obtainable to the morally bankrupt masses who have been groomed into believing you harbor shameful and regressive sensibilities if you don.t agree to the endless propaganda that the lion and the lamb can and lay down together and all you have to do is ignore the hot breath and the toothy grin of your predator neighbor. My God don’t you realize “he’s just like you and me!”

    Where I disagree with Professor Nyborg is his advocacy that Darwinian theories of evolutionary forks in the road that divert European from African and and Middle-Eastern people. I say it was Christianity introduced to the known world by the 1st century disciples of Jesus Christ that distinguish the European from everyone. To so many contemporary ears this is the height of a regressive sensibility and megalomaniacal neanderthal like thinking.

    The Middle-Eastern and North African where the first peoples introduced too and adopted into the faith that changed the world. Fretting over Darwinian forks in the road will change nothing. The only substantial action that will change the landscape is men and women must return too the “Church”. Even Sir RF Burton in the waning years of his life ended upon his knees as did many others enamored of Big Game (hegemony).

    The irony historically is that the people the Apostle Paul first introduced to Christianity these are their progeny, the same folks who are coming to Europe to finish off the corrupting influence of Darwinism and complete the destruction of Europe.

    Asia Minor (modern Turkey and Greece) the home of the churches of the book of Revelation the namesake churches of the New Testament epistles these lands are presently filled with Islamists who are wreaking havoc on the last gasps of Christianity in the Middle-east. The question is not will the European regain it’s IQ hegemony over Europe (hegemony=big game) . Frankly, will they submit to Christ and defend the faith of their fathers by reclaiming the inheritance that Christ gave to the whole of humanity.

    • Funny thing atheists are getting to the point where they are live-and-let-live with Christianity and other religions you have some cultural Marxist atheists who advance atheists the same way cultual-Marxist Marxist feminists advance women, but they are a minority

      But in face of the evolutionary, Darwinian, fully documented and researched disaster overtaking us, we now have a class of people saying, Devil take evolution and differential beeding; all our problems can be solved by eliminating those pesky atheists and convincing the hard-headed Jews that Christmas actually existed

16. Why do every one of the race realists now act as if low fertility is the problem? Below replacement fertility is not a problem in the short term if immigration is halted.

    • Economies depend on growth. Without an increasing population (consumers), increases in growth are not going to happen unless we have increased robotics/mechanization and a market to sell the goods to. Ultimately I still see the end game as a desire on the left to create chaos and then get full control of an increasingly ignorant society. What they don’t realize is their plan has the fatal flaw of the change of culture.

      • We are not all co-owners of BASF/Bayer…are we ? I don’t care about economics and arithmetics so much…why is economic growth more important than people of Europe ?

17. Affirmative action in these countries can destroy otherwise competitive industries. If computer CPU designers/makers in the US had to hire to represent age and race of the US population (instead of younger and Asian) they could not compete on the world market and would have to relocate to Asia. When world famous Nordic companies are force to hire these immigrants they will not be competitive with Asian counterparts who are not forced to do this.

18. Yes, the facts are harsh and it makes for sad reading, or listening in this case). Mother Nature is brutal, and not very politically correct at all. If current trends continue, native Europeans will face the same destiny that many other native populations have faced in the past, namely extinction.

    There is however one point that the professor didn’t touch upon, and that is bioengineering.

    Somewhere down the track it may be possible to increase a person’s intelligence by manipulating (make changes to) their genes. I read a paper by a Chinese/American scientist about a year ago or so, and he believed that a person’s IQ could be increased by several standard deviation points in the future.

    There are obviously numerous arguments to be made (both morally and technical) against altering a person’s genes, and it may never happen, but still, one never knows what the future holds in store.

    I know, I’m digressing but there are many interesting scenarios that could play out if this were to happen. Same thing goes with the rise of the machines (artificial intelligence).

    • “Somewhere down the track it may be possible to increase a person’s intelligence by manipulating (make changes to) their genes. I read a paper by a Chinese/American scientist about a year ago or so, and he believed that a person’s IQ could be increased by several standard deviation points in the future. ”

      Please ask yourself this: “Would it be a good thing to have much smarter Muslim fanatics (i.e., jihadists)?”

      Solving this problem requires placing a priority upon ridding Europe of its Islamic parasites. Let the Arab oil ticks spend their precious treasure on “uplifting” (see: David Brin) their own masses. The West has no obligation, nor is there much of any upside, when it comes to making its Muslim invaders any smarter than they are.

      If anything, Muslim stupidity may prove to be one of the West’s few saving graces. As Matt Bracken routinely points out, all of those “no-go zones” are, in reality, supremely “target rich” environments. Similarly, Islam’s hidebound adherence to doctrinal canon makes it just that more difficult for Muslims to “blend into the scenery”.

      When push comes to shove, these conspicuous traits will facilitate Western strategy and tactics whilst increasing the vulnerability of Muslim colonists.

      “ Same thing goes with the rise of the machines (artificial intelligence).”

      Your mention of AI (Artificial Intelligence) only serves to further cement the catastrophic prospects involved. As Helmuth Nyborg points out:

      “Especially if we take into consideration that Scandinavia is a high-tech society where we systematically eliminate jobs of the sort that could have made a difference — like digging ditches and things that today we have machines to do.”

      Recent studies mutually conclude that almost half of all minimum-wage (i.e., unskilled labor) jobs will vanish in the next twenty years. As Nyborg observes, what use will high tech countries have for these masses of “obsolete farm equipment”?

      It is a fixed rule that automation always strikes the most vulnerable. It’s precisely why they are “the most vulnerable.”

      Be it British Luddites and the arrival of Jacquard looms, or Cesar Chavez’s striking farm-workers gradually discovering that their refusal to work hastened the advent of automated agricultural equipment’s arrival—those who can least afford it inevitably fall into the path of technology’s advance.

      The timing of Europe’s invasion by these innumerable unskilled savages will be nothing short of an historical object lesson. It’s like a mob of starving people descending upon a town’s lone grocery store the day before it goes out of business.

      All that remains is the looting (and quarreling over whatever few spoils remain) before a stark realization sets in that Europe has no room, nor even the resources, to support a vastly redundant class of bitterly hostile new arrivals.

      That is when the real “festivities” begin.

      • The ultimate determination may well rest upon what sort of military resources are available and who controls them. One 30mm cannon on an APC can kill thousands of ignorant savages armed only with simple weapons.

      • Ironically, many recent jihadists have been otherwise intelligent people that were raised in normal circumstances and went on to obtain science or engineering degrees.

        So, no, we do not want a larger group of intelligent jihadists to develop.

      • I wasn’t talking about enhancing violent jihadis IQ. I was just making a general observation. It could quite possibly be an answer to ‘lift up” the non Islamic population in the third world.

        Anyway, by the time science is capable of safely increasing a person’s IQ, the battle for Europe will have been fought.

        Who will prevail in such a battle? I don’t know, but I don’t think it will come down to who has the largest number of fighting age men. It will come down to technology and the will to win (using the necessary tactics regardless of the human suffering this may cause).

        A dozen of modern fighter jets could easily have won World War One….

        • I think is better to have a genetically improved material in order to start increasing IQ…

          • Precisely. Reversing a millennia of Islamic inbreeding will take centuries.

19. Problem with the theory. Plenty of native peoples living in northern climes, none of which seem to have acquired above average IQ’s.

    I wish Europeans would understand that the battle is already over. Europe is an Islamic continent. It’s already baked in, demographically speaking. You lost.

    • The battle is over if Europe’s will to exist is truly and forever broken.

      If that condition is true, then yes, Europe is lost.

      If that condition is not true, then we are not even at the end of the beginning.

20. My longer attempts to comment are getting picked off by the firewall. Just wondering if the short stuff can get through.
