How Psychological Scientists Know The "Structural Racism" Theory Is Crap

How Psychological Scientists Know The “Structural Racism” Theory Is Crap

The “structural racism” conspiracy theory is everywhere nowadays. Most media consumers take it for granted that white people are to blame for black and brown economic and academic underachievement. But people trained in psychological science, who understand the real causes of behavioural phenomena, know this theory is crap. This essay explains how they know.

Any quality scientist will tell you that the value of a scientific theory is a function of its predictive power.

This has always been the case. Back in the day, when learned people discussed astronomical phenomena, the greatest among those scholars were able to accurately predict solar and lunar eclipses. The theories that correctly predicted eclipse seasons were praised and committed to memory or written down; the theories that incorrectly predicted eclipse seasons, or failed to predict them, were denounced and forgotten.

This ongoing process of refining theories, based on which ones best predicted the outcomes of experiments, evolved into the scientific method. Today, the scientific method involves taking multiple different theories and subjecting them to experiments with various conditions. Then the scientist compares the theories to see which best fits the resulting data.

When the Western World opened its borders to mass immigration from Far East Asia in the 1990s, there were two major theories about how successful it would be.

The structural racism theory predicted that these immigrants would do poorly. This theory held that the low economic and academic achievement of blacks and browns was the result of white prejudice, and, since those whites had no reason to be less prejudiced against Asians, those Asians would also have low economic and academic achievement.

The biological realism theory predicted that these immigrants would do well. It had been known since shortly after World War II that Japanese, Korean and Chinese populations scored as highly as European ones on psychometric measures of intelligence. Because economic and academic achievement is primarily a function of intelligence, biological realists predicted that Asian immigrants would have high economic and academic achievement.

In fact, the majority of Far East Asian immigrants did very well upon immigrating to the West. They all faced some degree of prejudice from the native populations, but few of them were impacted heavily enough by this to remain poor; Asian Americans have the highest net wealth and highest average income of any American racial group.

This outcome repudiated the structural racism theory, and supported the biological realism theory. But this is not the only case where the latter showed itself to have more predictive power than the former.

Another test of theories involved the relative developmental prospects of China, India and Africa. After World War II, China, India and most of Africa were at a similar level of poverty, i.e. undeveloped. But the Western plan was to develop all of these territories to the maximum extent possible, as quickly as possible.

The structural racism theory predicted that all of these territories would develop at a similar rate. Absent the white oppression that had held them back during the Colonial Era, and absent the white oppression that held back blacks, browns and natives in colonial countries, there was no reason to assume anything other than uniform progression to Western levels of wealth.

The biological realism theory, by contrast, predicted that China would develop faster than India, which would develop faster than Africa. This prediction was based on the fact that psychologists knew the IQ scores of these groups were different.

The Chinese scored at a similar level to white people, or even higher. India was about one standard deviation below that. Africa was about one standard deviation below India. So the biological realists predicted that China would develop the fastest, Africa the slowest, and India in between.

By 2021, the GDP per capita (PPP) of China was $18,931, that of India $7,333, and most African countries between $5,000 and $1,000. These differences were just as predicted by the biological realists. The structural racism theories are left floundering for an explanation as to why high-IQ China has outstripped medium-IQ India and low-IQ Africa, when none of the three are controlled by whites. They are left spouting nonsense about “white adjacency”.

In summary, the biological realism theory of explaining group differences in economic and academic achievement has proven itself to have far greater predictive power than the structural racism theory. In fact, the structural racism theory has no predictive power, and can be rightly considered a conspiracy theory pushed for political reasons, and not a scientific one.

The Great Masculine Axis

1. The Great Masculine Axis is the axis connecting the Summer Pole of the Quadrijitu with the Winter Pole.

2. This axis represents how rectitude enters the material world from the mind of the divine, as a consequence of the will of the divine.

3. The nature of the masculine is to distinguish vertically. This it does by distinguishing between good and bad, valuable and not valuable.

4. The Great Masculine Axis distinguishes all fragments of consciousness from each other on the basis of which has the most rectitude.

5. All of the fragments of consciousness that exist within the Conceivable Universe have their own unique frequency, depending on their degree of rectitude.

6. The higher the frequency a fragment of consciousness has, the higher it is on the Great Masculine Axis.

7. The Great Masculine Axis is a hierarchy of spiritual rectitude.

8. The Summer Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is equivalent to a frequency of 1.

9. The Winter Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is equivalent to a frequency of 0.

10. All frequencies, without exception, can be found somewhere between these two poles.

11. The red and blue dots represent how rectitude and devotion can be found, in varying proportions, all throughout the material world.

12. The red and blue dots also represent how an absence of rectitude and devotion can be found, in varying proportions, all throughout the material world.

13. The Great Masculine Axis is represented materially by the lightningbolt, whose genius lights up the whole world.

14. The Summer Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is superficially understood to be good, the response to which is devotion.

15. The Winter Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is superficially understood to be evil, the solution to which is destruction.

16. The Summer Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is fundamentally understood to be theognosis, the response to which is also devotion.

17. The Winter Pole of the Great Masculine Axis is fundamentally understood to be theoamnesis, the solution to which is rectitude.

18. The Great Masculine Axis explains the different level of will among all beings. Rectitude is understood to be a prerequisite of the capacity to exercise one’s true will.

19. The Great Masculine Axis can be broken into any number of points. The three most common arrangements are twofold (good and evil), threefold (good, neutral and evil), fourfold (gold, silver, iron and clay) and sevenfold (gold, mercury, silver, copper, iron, tin and lead).

20. The purpose of combining the feminine elements at the correct proportions is to climb the Great Masculine Axis. Depending on the physical environment, certain frequencies will be more harmonious than others.

Spiritual Religions And Political Religions

Enormous confusion surrounds the discussion of religion. The term ‘religion’ seems to encompass some extremely different, even contradictory, attitudes and ideas. This essay argues that a major conceptual division needs to be made: between spiritual religions and political religions.

A spiritual religion is a doctrine that, if followed, will alleviate spiritual suffering. The alleviation of suffering is as close as this world gets to a universal moral good. As such, spiritual religions are seen as something holy. So both spiritual religions and political religions claim to be spiritual religions.

But in the same way that visiting a prostitute and having sex is not really making love, even though it appears similar, political religions are not really spiritual.

A genuine spiritual tradition is not concerned with the will for temporal and material power. A doctrine such as Buddhism teaches its adherents that gratifying such desires will not lead to happiness. And it is correct – once a person has met their basic physical needs, further happiness comes not from physical excess but from meeting social, intellectual and spiritual needs.

A political religion is a doctrine that is primarily concerned with temporal and material power. The authorities of a political religion are not concerned with alleviating suffering – they want power, money, fame, prestige. For them, suffering is a good thing, because it gives them a chance to portray their political enemies as the ones responsible, and themselves as the saviours.

The difference between a political religion and a political non-religion (such as Communism) is that the non-religion doesn’t attempt to cloak itself in the shroud of divine morality. Communism was happy enough teaching that consciousness is extinguished upon the death of the physical body. Political religions, by contrast, admit that consciousness survives the death of the physical body – but there’s a catch.

The catch is always this: your consciousness will reincarnate in a place of suffering in the next world unless you obey the political religion in this world. So the political religions demand that you give them money, time, labour and devotion in this world on the threat of suffering in the next.

The foremost examples of political religions are the Abrahamic cults, in particular Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Each of these has aped the spiritual wisdom of their age to create an ideological monster. Each of these teach that only by submitting to the priesthood can one achieve the cessation of suffering. The priesthood speaks for the divine – a power granted only to them. Therefore, obey or suffer.

The characteristic sign of a political religion is that they cause suffering in order to gain power. Relentless, grinding misery causes people to look to higher authorities for solace, which is why Abrahamism is doing so well in Africa and the Middle East. To this end, political religions usually support the persecution of women, homosexuals, prostitutes and drug users.

Also characteristic of political religions is that they drive out other authorities from cultural space, a kind of memetic brood parasitism.

All political religions decree that no other religion may co-exist with them. The Hebrew Bible states that “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto Jehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed” (Exodus 22:20), and the Koran commands follows to destroy non-believers at numerous points (2:191-193), (3:56), (4:74), (4:89), (5:33), (8:12), (8:39), (9:5), (9:73), (9:123), (47:3-4), (47:35), (48:29), (66:9).

Following this imperative, political religions do everything they can to destroy spiritual religions in any territory they control. In much the same way that criminal gangs of narcoterrorists don’t allow outsiders to operate on their turf, neither do criminal gangs of spiritual terrorists. True spiritual religions don’t need to aggress against other religions, because they know that the falsehoods of other doctrines will reveal themselves.

All spiritual religions understand that accumulating earthly power and wealth, gratifying as it may be to the ego, doesn’t provide spiritual solace. As such, true spiritual religions never have a “prosperity gospel” in which it is taught that material wealth is granted by God as a reward for righteousness. Neither do they hearken back to past times of military dominance as golden ages.

Buddhism, for example, doesn’t care if people don’t follow it. Anyone is free to reject the Buddha’s doctrine and indulge in sensory pleasures. But when a person tires of such indulgence, and they feel that it’s time to strike a balance between indulgence and abstinence, then the Buddhists are there to explain their methodology.

Islam, by contrast, cares a lot. Thirteen countries impose the death penalty for apostasy, all of them Muslim ones. This means that children are considered to be Muslim when they are born, and if they don’t like it as adults, they are killed. At the time of writing this essay, almost 1,000 people had been killed in the past 30 days in Islamic terror attacks. All of the killers were following the admonition of their religion to expand its political influence.

The irony, of course, is that all this makes spiritual religions look spiritual, and political religions look material, and this pushes all genuinely spiritual people towards the former, and all genuinely base people towards the latter. This explains why hedonistic self-aggrandisers, when they discover religion in adulthood, tend to discover political ones.

The clash between spiritual and political religions has defined much of the world’s history, and may define much of its future. There are many signs that suggest the Abrahamic cults are slowly uniting under one banner, and, when they do, they will inevitably try to conquer the world or be destroyed in the attempt.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, Abraham was probably the world’s first true psychopath. The cult he started developed into the greatest collective evil the world has ever known. This evil reflects Abraham’s sadistic desire for total control and dominance, something shared with all his followers. Indeed, Abraham could be said to be the father of political religion.

On the Mithraic ladder, Abrahamism is equivalent to the lead, the basest possible frequency. The spiritual religions, on the other hand, are equivalent to the gold. They are akin to divine radiance beaming down on us. Thus, although political and spiritual religions may appear very similar on the surface, it’s necessary to draw a sharp distinction between them. Ultimately, they reveal their true interests by their actions.

The Quadrijitu

1. The Quadrijitu is the perfect map of the Great Fractal, at the lowest possible resolution.

2. The Quadrijitu is the holy emblem of Elementalism. Everywhere it is seen, the truth of Elementalism lives.

3. The Quadrijitu depicts the fundamental cycle of existence: how the masculine leads to order, and how order leads to the feminine, and how the feminine leads to chaos, and how chaos leads to the masculine.

4. The white dot in the red quadrant depicts how within the masculine is the seed of the orderly. This reflects the understanding that the essence of the masculine is that which imposes order upon chaos.

5. The blue dot in the white quadrant depicts how within the orderly is the seed of the feminine. This reflects the understanding that the effect of order is to attract the feminine.

6. The black dot in the blue quadrant depicts how within the feminine is the seed of the chaotic. This reflects the understanding that the essence of the feminine is that which imposes chaos upon order.

7. The red dot in the black quadrant depicts how within the chaotic is the seed of the masculine. This reflects the understanding that the effect of chaos is to attract the masculine.

8. Within the masculine is the seed of order, the seed of chaos and the seed of the feminine.

9. Within order is the seed of the feminine, the seed of the masculine and the seed of chaos.

10. Within the feminine is the seed of chaos, the seed of order and the seed of the masculine.

11. Within chaos is the seed of the masculine, the seed of the feminine and the seed of order.

12. Within all things are the seeds of all other things.

13. The black and white dots form the Great Feminine Axis. They represent the war between good and evil that exists in the physical world.

14. The blue and red dots form the Great Masculine Axis. They represent the dance between the masculine and the feminine that exists in the metaphysical world.

15. Together these dots represent the red of rage, the white of hope, the blue of joy and the black of despair.

16. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of the seasons, with red as spring, white as summer, blue as autumn and black as winter.

17. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of the day and night, with red as sunrise, white as noon, blue as sunset and black as night.

18. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of the rain, with red as evaporation, white as clouds, blue as precipitation and black as the ocean.

19. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of life, with red as youth, white as maturity, blue as old age and black as death.

20. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of wealth, with red as industriousness, white as wealth, blue as laziness and black as poverty.

21. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of learning, with red as knowledge, white as bliss, blue as ignorance and black as suffering.

22. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of breathing, with red as inhalation, white as fullness, red as exhalation and black as emptiness.

23. The Quadrijitu represents the cycle of existence, with red as integration, white as being, blue as disintegration and black as non-being.

24. The energy of the Quadrijitu propels consciousness through the Great Fractal. This likens a corkscrew motion, as the Earth moves through space. Its turning is the march of time, the speed of its turning the intensity of one’s existence.
