Biology Denial

One of the most influential social phenomena in the modern world is also one of the least understood. It is the widespread denial of the laws of biology and of the biological reality in which the human species has evolved. Although this might seem, to some, to be an academic point, denial of biological reality can have an immense impact on a person’s values and political opinions.

The reality is that human society and behaviour is primarily a biological phenomenon.

Psychologists today know that all the warring and aggression shown by humans in today’s society is little more than adaptations to a biological past where violence was commonplace. In a state of Nature, resources are scarce. Because of this scarcity, it can happen that multiple creatures desire them. When that happens, conflict is the inevitable result.

The same is true of co-operation and love. It’s been well established, ever since the publication of Edward O. Wilson’s The Social Conquest of Earth, that it’s impossible to make sense out of human history without understanding that the human species evolved sociality for the sake of overcoming survival challenges.

Human society, then, is most easily understood as a web of mutual aid that increases the survival and reproductive opportunities of all of its members. The more cohesive groups drive out the less cohesive ones. The Rambo-style individualist doesn’t survive a state of Nature, because one serious injury will kill him. The tribe that works together, on the other hand, can easily recover from non-fatal injuries to individuals.

However, this neat and elegant explanation for much of the complexity of the world does not appeal to some. There are some out there who deny that human behaviour is analogous to primate behaviour, or that human behaviour has evolved to meet survival and reproductive challenges in the natural world, or that significant biodiversity exists within the human species, or that ethology and evolutionary psychology are valid approaches that can make accurate predictions.

This insanity is known as biology denial.

As it turns out, there are several reasons why a person would deny biological science.

One of the most common reasons is narcissism. This is particularly true when it comes to evolution by natural selection. Many people don’t like to think that they evolved from a common ancestor with today’s monkeys. They prefer to think of other animals as a different category to themselves, something categorically lower.

This is related to another major reason to deny biology – religious reasons. The fundamentalist religious nutter believes that Yahweh created the entire Universe, perhaps as recently as 6,000 years ago, and therefore there’s no such thing as evolution. As anyone who knows anything about biology can tell you, if you deny evolution you deny all of biology. This is the reason for the “never say dinosaur” strain of Christcuckery.

The main reason why people deny biology is for political reasons.

This is most obvious when it comes to the subject of race and IQ. Every primary school student learns that there are no two things within Nature that are exactly the same – no two snowflakes, no two cats, no two mountains, no two races. Because biological life evolves to fill different ecological niches, the characteristics of life within those niches is always different.

On the subject of race and IQ, however, the truth is just about the most politically incorrect subject that it’s possible to speak of. As per Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world’s foremost biology deniers, “the races are meaningfully the same in their biology and there are no genetic racial differences”. Anyone who disagrees is cancelled.

In reality, Blank Slate Theory (what Kendi is pushing) is a form of biology denial, because it denies the heritability of natural characteristics. This goes against the available evidence, which is why Steven Pinker was able to meticulously and comprehensively demolish it in his book The Blank Slate. That biology denial can reach pathological proportions is evident from the magnitude of the evidence in favour of heritability.

Because biology denial is political, it varies in intensity depending on the aspect of biology under discussion.

Some people deny it totally. One notorious case involves a university student who believed that the reason why men are stronger than women is because they are encouraged to play more sports as children. Most children figure out when very young that there are significant physical differences between men and women. That an adult might deny this is incredible.

The modern transexual fad is another example of biology denial. Some heterosexual men are getting called bigots for preferring biological women over biological men pretending to be women, as if there was truly no difference between the two.

That men are naturally more violent than women, on the other hand, is accepted without question. That this heightened propensity towards violence necessitates exclusion of males from female spaces is, likewise, accepted without question. Any degree of biology can be denied, but whether it is depends on who would benefit from the denial.

All are equal, but some are more equal than others.

The ultimate end effect of biology denial is delusion and suffering. As Philip K Dick wrote: “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” Westerners are now discovering that human biodiversity is a real thing, and that immigrants from low-IQ nations can’t simply be educated to behave exactly the same way as everyone else.

Biology deniers are so twisted up in their irrational thinking that they believe Asian immigrants to America to have white privilege. Asian students in America frequently find themselves having to get better grades than non-Asians to access the same privileges. Sometimes they need to get even better grades than white students.

Biology denial can only lead to inaccurate perceptions of reality, and thereby to a failure to accurately predict human behaviour, and thereby to political policy that harms instead of helps. Had it been widely understood that intelligence was genetic and that some human populations are an entire standard deviation or more less intelligent than whites, the mass immigration of cheap labour from the Third World to the West might never have happened.

At time of writing, biology denial is one of the greatest threats to our ability to wisely navigate the ship of civilisation through the challenges facing us.

Explaining The Abrahamic Obsession With Anti-Racism And Anti-Nationalism

No-one virtue signals harder than Abrahamists bragging about how anti-racist they are. Some have argued that this reflects a deep-seated guilt complex – the Abrahamist’s attempt to atone before a wrathful deity. This essay will argue that the Abrahamist rejects race and nation for the same reason they reject family: because Abrahamism is an inherently unnatural mentality that perverts all thought and all morality.

For all their disagreements, the followers of the various Abrahamic cults can agree on one thing: cult comes before kin.

For the Christian, this is simply following Jesus’s threat from Matthew 10:37: “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” Here Jesus, like any other cult leader, rejects those who will not reject their own family in favour of him.

This sentiment is harmonious with the sentiment that, for Christians, there is neither Jew nor Greek, for all are one in Rabbi Yeshua. The Christian abandons his ties to the natural world in order to earn the grace of his universalist god. Yahweh and his prophet Rabbi Yeshua are not pleased by those who maintain the natural consciousness of family, nation or race. All are to be subjugated to cult consciousness.

Muhammad, for his part, is recorded as having preached that “​All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” Here, “piety and good action” means, of course, submission to Islam.

This has led some to state that “The religion of Islam forbids racism and racial inequality.” Certainly, the Muslims of the Barbary slave trade were not white supremacists. Like the Christians, Muslims are happy to admit that they consider people who share their cult, but not their race, to be of greater importance than those who share their race but not their cult.

This is why both Christians and Muslim immigrants to the West are constantly screaming about racism. In destroying the national consciousness of their host nations, they achieve the Abrahamic objective of destroying all competing power structures. It’s also why Christians credit all of the achievements of whites to Christianity, but blame all of the crimes of Christianity on whites.

It’s more complicated for Jews. Being both religion and race, Jews lack the self-destructive, self-righteous masochism of Christians and Muslims. But, like their Abrahamic brethren, they still do everything they can to destroy family consciousness, national consciousness and race consciousness. This is why organisations that lobby to increase refugee quotas are often full of Jews.

Marxists, who are realistically just a secular form of Abrahamist, are little different. They seek to destroy familial, national and race consciousness for the same reason as the other Abrahamists – because those are competing loyalties. The Marxist puts his ideology above his kin, just as the religious Abrahamist puts his cult above his kin. Also like the other Abrahamisms, Marxist ideology is universal, which manifests as globalism in secular space.

For the Abrahamist, religious or secular, creed comes before kin, always. In fact, it goes much further. The more you can reject your own kin, the more righteous and holy you are. The highest moral achievement of the Abrahamist is to completely sever ties with one’s blood family and race. Yahweh is a jealous god, and all other loyalties must be abandoned. It must be all Yahweh, all the time.

Highest of all in the Abrahamic moral hierarchy is the one who can impassively watch on as their nation or race is destroyed, or who can even assist in that destruction. To resist the destruction of one’s own kin, in the Abrahamic mindset, is to cling to the material world, and is therefore a spiritual failure. The person who identifies with their blood family and race is the equivalent of the devil worshipper.

Someone indifferent to the destruction of their family, nation or race, on the other hand, can be said to have transcended petty material concerns and become something truly holy. If you can sit back indifferent while your family, nation or race is destoyed and replaced, you have truly achieved divine status.

Like everything else Adharmic, this mentality is an unbalanced phenomenon that goes against natural law, and therefore will not exist forever. The balanced Dharmic view suggests that one’s yin energies might come from one’s physical incarnation, and that one’s yang energies might come from one’s spiritual incarnation, and therefore that the two must be kept in balance.

The mentally ill person says No to life, sacrificing the physical as if it was something evil. They do not play their role as a being trying to overcome challenges for the sake of entertaining the gods. Rather, they withdraw, and neglect their physical, recreational, social and even their survival needs.

The mentally healthy person says Yes to life, and exults in the niche that they inherited from their forebears. They set aspirations, and then strive to achieve them, overcoming the challenges that they encounter. They understand that the material world is not something to cower away from, but is rather the stage on which the play of life takes place.

This doesn’t mean that saying Yes to life requires indulging in all of the cruelties of the natural world.

It means finding the correct balance between spiritual and material concerns. The Elementalist suggestion is to live one’s life to the fullest, but in the knowledge that the material world is not the fundamental basis of reality. The material world is one Great Fractal dreamed up by God for the purpose of entertainment, and the most important thing is to correctly play one’s role within it, whatever that might be.

The Abrahamist fails to understand this need for balance, choosing instead to virtue signal their moral superiority to the material world, which they reject in favour of a promised land in the afterlife. This is a fundamentally unhealthy and unnatural attitude that only leads to great suffering.

Humour Is The Antidote To Mass Psychosis – That’s Why Totalitarians Want To Ban It

Comedy is dying all over the West. It seems like it’s now impossible to make a joke about anything without getting cancelled, banned from everything and one’s life destroyed. A parade of comedians have been cancelled in recent years, and now an atmosphere of sombre dread hangs over every country. But this dark turn of events can be easily explained, as this essay will show.

All totalitarian regimes strongly discourage humour. The Christians of the authoritarian right killed people for it, the Nazis of the authoritarian centre killed people for it and the Commies of the authoritarian left killed people for it. If the essence of libertarianism is light-hearted levity, the essence of authoritarianism is taking everything extremely seriously – or being made to.

Humour is chaos. By its very nature, it’s unpredictable. No-one has ever been able to write an accurate guide to reliably producing humour, because humour has to be unexpected in order to be funny. Because humour is chaotic and unpredictable, it works like a dissolving acid against stale, stagnant and superfluous ideas and political structures.

It’s this chaotic effect that causes totalitarians to seethe about it.

Totalitarianism is, in its metaphysical essence, an excess of order. It’s when the finest details of every person’s life have been determined by someone above them on the dominance hierarchy. Totalitarianism is ultimately borne by fear: the more afraid an individual or a population is, the more they want a Big Daddy to come in and set everything right. Fear leads to the desire for the imposition of order.

In order for totalitarianism to be possible, the masses have to be conditioned to accept it. But they can’t be conditioned into sanely accepting it, because a sane person, not being afraid, will not accept submission to totalitarians. As such, the masses have to be made to insanely accept it – they have to be driven mad by relentless propaganda so that they throw themselves into the arms of those who would rule them.

The totalitarians seize power by deliberately creating mass psychosis. This is a form of hypnosis, whereby the masses are hypnotised into following the will of their rulers. This is achieved by overloading the minds of the masses so that they don’t have enough mental bandwidth to process all the stimulation coming in. A mind overloaded by stimuli is less able to resist suggestion. So the totalitarians overwhelm the resistance of their subjects by blasting them with ceaseless fear-producing propaganda.

Humour counters this by clearing the mental slate from overstimulation.

As such, humour breaks down the conditioning effect of mass psychosis, and thereby liberates people from the grip that totalitarians have on their minds. Totalitarianism preys on fear, in particular the fear that induces people to keep their heads down in case they get punished, and humour dispells this fear, instead inducing people to stand up straight and to defy those who would rule them.

The reason why Marxist Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt took to the mainstream media to have VJM Publishing cancelled for selling ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ t-shirts is precisely because they were humourous. Authoritarian leftists like Hunt consider their ideology to be Very Serious Business. As such, plebs like VJM Publishing are not allowed to make fun of it. Despite being clearly satirical, the slogan was declared to be “white supremacist” and the t-shirts pulled.

The Quadrijitu informs us that these things go in cycles. When life is good, people roll over for totalitarian measures because they’ve got too much to lose by rocking the boat. When life is bad, people keep their heads down. But when things get really bad, and people no longer have anything to lose, anger arises, and this anger leads people to take action despite the threat of consequences.

This current wave of totalitarianism will only end when a new generation of fearless comedians stands up and takes the piss again. VJM Publishing made an effort to mock the direction the Western World was headed with our book Clown World Chronicles – our most successful book in ten years of operations. We haven’t been cancelled for it (so far), and this is what the world needs more of – people standing up.

Humour doesn’t have to be good to serve as the antidote to totalitarianism. It doesn’t have to be intelligent, tasteful or even funny. The most important thing is that it is irreverent. This irreverence breaks the spell of the mass hypnosis and stops people from seeing totalitarians as authority figures. So if you want to do something about the totalitarian direction the West is moving in – take the piss out of an authority figure.
