Mats Vinnaren Rock music history shows the limits of Jewish verbal IQ's influence. Many of the best rock critics were Jewish, and perhaps they played a big role in Lou Reed's current reputation, and definitely with the Ramones. But what mostly mattered was the opinion of other rock musicians.

This is precisely and almost entirely the Woke creed. x.com/BrentAWilliams…

CNN: Kamala's laugh evokes the Black Joy Movement. It shows she's free of white oppression. But isn't there a simpler explanation for why Kamala's interpersonal affect is so uncool and cringe despite her being black? stevesailer.net/p/cnn-kamalas-…

Last year at Princeton before the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action, Under Represented Minorities made up 19% of freshmen. This year, post-Students for Fair Admissions, blacks stayed at 9%, Hispanic dropped from 10% to 9%. It's almost as if they've got a quota.

How dangerous is the crime level in different cities like San Francisco, D.C., Chicago, and Tampa? In Takimag dot Com, I offer several ways to think rationally about crime rates:

Bernard So, it appears that the bad environment experienced by black Africans depresses their IQs by 10+ or so points relative to the effects of the better environments experienced by black Americans. Both Nurture and Nature seem to matter.

I was skeptical about the claim that North was the author of Shakespeare’s plays, read a book about it, became convinced through a mountain of irrefutable evidence. Steve Sailer shows no familiarity with the argument and dismisses it as a conspiracy theory, then goes back to

How bad are Richard Lynn's 2002 national IQ estimates? They correlate at r = 0.93 with our current best estimates. It turns out that they're really not bad, and they don't provide evidence of systematic bias on his part🧵

Conspiracy theories have eaten the right. This isn’t about ideology or intelligence, just a very dark and false way of seeing the world. richardhanania.com/p/left-wing-id…

From SteveSailer dot Net: Richard Hanania knows who really wrote Shakespeare's plays Or so he says. Richard throws his weight behind one of the 87 candidates for who really wrote Shakespeare.

Who really played David Gilmour's purported guitar solo on Pink Floyd's 1979 "Comfortably Numb?" My theory is Gilmour bought the tape from a 29-year-older obscure guitarist who either recorded it in 1950 at age 33 or recorded it in 1979 at age 62. youtu.be/_FrOQC-zEog?si…

You may reply that in the 45 years since "The Wall" was released, nobody until me ever once doubted that David Gilmour played the guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb." But that just proves this was a Deep State psy-op so cunning that it fooled everybody. youtu.be/_FrOQC-zEog?si…

Steve Sailer Why not read the recently discovered travel journal of Thomas North?

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd once even let slip: "I learned from Pete Seeger, Hank Marvin, Lead Belly, Joni Mitchell, John Fahey, Roy Buchanon, Jeff [Beck] and Eric [Clapton] and dozens more. I copied – don’t be afraid to copy" So that proves John Fahey played Comfortably Numb.

Or maybe Lead Belly played the electric guitar solos on "Comfortably Numb." I haven't quite made up my mind. Either John Fahey or Lead Belly. But definitely not David Gilmour.

Steve Sailer Musical historians always assumed it was a deep state plot to cover up the fact that it was Stewart Copeland’s father gunslinging on six-string for the Comfortably Numb solo. But recent scholarship has unearthed a more likely ghost player: teenage bluesman prodigy Tony Blinken.

The upshot of the Supreme Court's ruling is that MIT was relieved to have a public justification for letting off the gas on racial preferences, and all the other elite schools just ignored it.

How do I get AI to make a picture of me wearing a barbarian horned helmet?

From SteveSailerdotNet: "Barbarian Steve, what is best in life?" “To notice your enemies — to see them point and sputter before you, and to watch their pundits get the vapors over black-Asian intermarriage rates and Barbados' relatively genteel culture."

I respond to Sohrab Ahmari's "Pseudo-Scholars and the Rise of the Barbarian Right" in The Free Press about how I'm an exemplar of the Barbarian Right: stevesailer.net/p/barbarian-st…
