'Experts say all people are equal, except whites, who excel at “racism”.'
I had a friend in the 90's in Sydney, Australia. A muslim immigrant from Iraq. He used to talk about the reproductive rates of the average muslim woman compared to the average white woman, and concluded that the Caliphate would come about by means of this process. In 50 years, he said, Australia will be a muslim nation.
I expressed my skepticism this way: "Tell me, please; in which period of the history of the British Empire did the British outnumber the collected natives of the colonies they ruled, in an Empire that covered fully one third of the land mass on this planet? You see, it's not about the numbers, but you're openly talking about enslaving and/or eliminating the people who invented mass slaughter on an industrial scale. At the moment those people are relatively passive, even welcoming to your kind. When the day comes that this changes, you will learn that it's not about the numbers. I'm not proud of the facility for large-scale slaughter that is a feature of my racial heritage, but I don't kid myself about it, either."
What whites excel at is ORGANISATION.
It's an artefact of climate and culture. If the Norwegian doesn't plant the seeds at the right time - which means he had to plow at the right time, etc - then everybody starves next winter. If the German doesn't plant corn ... then everybody starves next winter. The warmer and more beneficent the climate, the shorter the time preferences in the culture.
Whatever we're doing we organise, systematise, regulate, etc. As the Quality Management gurus say, repeatability is the first step of process improvement.
So, all these people busy accusing us of racism should be careful that we don't collectively decide we've had enough and organise to remove the irritant.
(P.S. The biggest increase in any particular ethnicity in the Australian population since then? Chinese. So, he was wrong on the quantity and the quality. Probably racist to point that out.)
Organization requires cooperation. Which is why the Marxist Left pits man against woman, rich against poor, the religious against the secular, city elites against the rural deplorables, gay against straight, whites against blacks. If we're always fighting among ourselves, we can never "collectively decide we've had enough and organize to remove the irritant."
This reminds me of a slogan I think I saw on a T shirt in the 80s in the UK: Those of you who think you are intelligent are actually very annoying to those of us who are.
"“elite human capital”. These are the folks who score well on IQ Tests, or who are awarded various “degrees” "
*I* score highly on tests and have multiple degrees, and this has given me first hand insight into how poorly these things are correlated with good judgment, bearing, charisma, firmness of purpose, magnanimity or any other *genuinely* elite quality.
The primary characteristic is an extreme aversion to being seen to be different in any manner that matters. Mindless crowd-following elevated to a religious dogma (in a violently exclusivist religion).
Once I did some work for a firm in Connecticut that hired mostly Harvard grads, and riding the shuttle back to NYC I would overheat their conversations, which... Well, let me put it this way, it was as though they had memorized all the op-eds in the New York Times and were quoting them back to each other. (It was like those minions of the totalitarian regime in Wolfe's "Citadel of the Autarch" who communicated exclusively in quotes from the official propaganda texts; except that Wolfe makes it clear that the characters in his novel could express original or heretical ideas using only those quotes, and I saw no sign that any of the Harvard grads were capable of doing so.)
I find the lack of self reflection telling. If they are concerned with anti-intellectualism the most obvious reason for it is that the intellectuals themselves are unimpressive. It seems to me that in eras where intellectuals were more impressive there was less anti-intellectualism.
Every time someone goes on about being Elite Human Capital it's some weird dysgenic mouth breather, and almost always either unemployed, sinecured, or an e-begger.
Elite. Capital. Human. I don't think any of those words mean what they think those words mean.
Ironically, most capitalists in the 19-century sense ( https://www.websters1913.com/words/Capitalist ) created extremely non-fungible capital. Heinz could not have walked away from his factory.
The art world is brimming with experts who, nevertheless, have not always been able to identify well-presented forgeries (particularly when there is a financial incentive to turn a blind eye).
Btw, experts built the Titanic; an amateur built the Ark.
Rat's theory about the failure of the Harvard lady is that she picked wrong test subjects to learn from and should have recruited a few politicians instead.
Well, Briggs, are you going to share your secret of how you managed to listen to that whole video? I found no redeeming qualities in that guy and barely made it a minute before closing it.
This is the Big Brain fatigue I keep writing about. I found many years ago that some of the smartest people are also some of the dumbest.
Now, would you argue that Trump is NOT a "stable genius"? What are the odds?
"smartest"=can repeat indoctrination/dogma perfectly

It’s hard to have a low-intelligence elites (at least below the mean IQ), but intelligence does not convey the qualities which a true elite requires.
Best yet William and so appropriate for today.Dunning Kruger in action.
This was good, sir.
I would make an exception for expert mathematicians, but mathematicians have the advantage that we can't bullshit ourselves.
Hey, Experts are gonna expert...
I find the lack of self reflection telling. If they are concerned with anti-intellectualism the most obvious reason for it is that the intellectuals themselves are unimpressive. It seems to me that in eras where intellectuals were more impressive there was less anti-intellectualism.

Elite. Capital. Human. I don't think any of those words mean what they think those words mean.
They do share one attribute of capital;
they are entirely fungible.

"former pornography columnist"? I buy the magazine for the articles.
Lovely article – made me laugh! Thank you.

I was right there with you until this: "That mistake is how we get...moon-landing hoax stories..."
“Everyone in power is a pathological liar” is a prerequisite belief to schizophrenic nonsense about the landings being faked.
A comprehensive summary of how deceptive "expertise" can be. That's why I am not using the "Dr" title, in spite of my two doctoral degrees.
In science, experts are overpaid freaks:
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/freaks-of-science
In law, they are not much different:
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/what-are-lawsuits-good-for
Adding the fact that they are all ideologues, as the author notes, just completes the picture.
IQ is another psyop:

Or for some comic relief:

"health and safety" always bothered me for one simple reason: I figured out many years ago there's no such thing.
I don't believe in safety, only relative degrees of risk.
I don't believe in certainty, I believe in confidence.
(I know, I am quite certain about these distinctions. Fuck.)
Yes, the "greeting" was obviously part of the psyop.
I believe in Providence, because I have been confirmed a lot of times (no religious preaching here):

I'm with you.
As I used to say in early 2020,
"We are all in this together."
Alone.
