Danish genetic researcher, Emil Kirkegaard, had a latest research asking 500 People what they thought of to be the best taboos. Racial hereditary and IQ disparities had been by far the best taboo, beating out incest, p-dophilia, homosexual germs, and anti-Semitism. Sadly, I’m very pessimistic about hereditarian considering being normalized anytime quickly, and it’s really in decline.

Emil Kirkegaard discovered that the outcomes had been typically constant throughout all subgroups, together with age, gender, race, and political orientation. Girls didn’t have a dramatically totally different response to taboos, which counters stereotypes of girls being extra hyper-moralistic. Nevertheless, the youthful and self-identifying Democrats total had a stronger response in opposition to taboos than Republicans, together with to p-dophilia, which can come as a shock (eg. libs are groomers meme). Whether or not International Warming is artifical and Evolution, people evolving from animals, had been the one questions that Republicans had a stronger taboo response to. Regardless, this matches in with the development the place the Left is now extra moralistic than the Proper.

Hereditarian considering tends to enchantment to the very clever whereas anti-Semitism appears to enchantment disproportionately to these with decrease IQs, although there are exceptions. It’s because anti-Semitism gives a simplistic good vs evil narrative, as an evidence for social and political issues. For that reason, anti-Semitism is extra prone to be normalized than HBD/hereditarianism. Anti-Semitism additionally matches in with present racial dialectics, with Jews changing Whites because the boogeyman. In distinction, hereditarianism would radically upend all present paradigms. Ashkenizim are influential as a result of they’re the one North-Euro admixed group on earth who nonetheless have a pre-1965 ethnocentrism, not some sinister conspiratorial scheme.

The overall notion is that hereditarianism and particularly assist for eugenics is correlated with nerdiness, having a really low social standing, or being anti-social. Nevertheless, Sebastian Jensen’s evaluation of Scott Alexander’s latest SSC survey discovered that “Eugenics supporters are likely to have greater SAT scores, greater ranges of self-reported attractiveness, decrease BMIs, decrease ranges of religiosity, and decrease ranges of political extremism.” The survey additionally discovered that “Girls don’t like eugenics, however trans individuals and males are happy with them.”
