I find this the most compelling point of BWs thought: That economics is race. That’s all it is.
Yet the entire economic debate across the world can’t come to grips with it. And there is no area of our life where orthodoxy so completely shields the light.
The straightjacket of orthodoxy is cinched tight, as tight as can be. There was never a slave society in all history as buttoned up.
That’s why this notion that economics and race is the same thing is so revolutionary.
In economic thought, we are way ahead of everybody else, we have busted through the whole darned thing, this nonsense of contemporary economics.
If you can’t see the advantage of it, there’s something wrong with you.

ME:
Dave, you are right, with this caveat:
A monkey or a Mommy Professor can destroy what he cannot build. Any moron can kill the most creative person in the world. Andrew Young and the Poverty Law Center and minorities can grow rich with threats.
The real miracle of Communism was that it managed to keep a third of the world’s WHITE population in upper third world poverty for so many decades while the rest of the white world, and even Japan, Taiwan and South Korea flourished. With titanic effort, the white race can be held back, but not forever.
But your basic point is dead accurate. All those economic equations AFKAN mentioned today factor in everything BUT SKIN COLOR. Every discussion of Great Civilization factors in every bit of information but one: Everywhere a Great Civilization fell and STAYED down, the people of that former Great Civilization are now BROWN.
I can’t explain it, but no one can see the real world if he has to instantly EXPLAIN what he OBSERVES. Science is based on OBSERVING AND THEN EXPLAINING. Wordism insists that all things be explained within The Great Book BEFORE it can be observed.
So Communism, as a form of Wordism, didn’t WORK. And that was its fatal weakness.

It takes “objectivity” to be truly educable the subjective mind can be trained but not really educated. Hence when “education” became a mass consumer commodity the seminar you described went extinct and mommy proffesor flourished. Some time ago you mentioned Jesse Jackass and his complete inability to think he being a prime example of a trainable individual for a priesthood in wordism. Ayn Rand wrote the paean to the Aryan mind yet still the Jew waits for the next mesiah to write the next holy book.

BW says: “I can’t explain it, but no one can see the real world if he has to instantly EXPLAIN what he OBSERVES. Science is based on OBSERVING AND THEN EXPLAINING. Wordism insists that all things be explained within The Great Book BEFORE it can be observed.”
I honestly think this is one the most brilliant statements I have ever read. I have been compiling BWs thought, but here he explains the very mechanism of Wordism, something that people like Aldous Huxley and Jiddu Krishnamurti never adequately spelled out.
They were too busy condemning Wordism to allow their readers to actually understand it.
I now understand why Jiddu’s critics were dead on: “You are a victim of the very disease of which you complain”.
Science has a moral and personal character dimension to it: You can’t be personally insecure and see the world accurately. You can’t be involved in some sort of self-interest having to do with appearances and beliefs and see the world accurately. You can’t have a vested self-interest in an organizational rank and see the world accurately.
At to me at least, by god, this thing of Wordism has finally been explained.
It is knowledge I am very grateful to have.

“and minorities can”
I think its time we drop the word “minority.” It is out of date.
The word was useful to refer to the political status of the South in Washington, or to discuss Roman Catholics in religion, or to talk about blacks as separate but equal and such.
But now none of that matters. Now even blacks have been buried under the flood of invasion.
Instead of “minority,” we should call the invaders what they are: aliens and non-whites. “Alien” makes it clear that they do not belong here, that they are invaders (and not just happy little “immigrants.”)
They are here for one reason: to assure white genocide. They are but pawns of genocide.
And I think every once in a while we should call us whites simply “Americans” to underscore that this is our country and that we do not intend to be genocided.

Wordism substitutes childish pride and selfishness for childlike honesty and wonder. We often see both behaviors openly displayed in children. But,as adults we become much more adept at not being open, both for good reason and bad. I still believe the day is coming, sooner than we think, that wordism of any sort, religious or “scientific,so called” will not rule anymore.

“Wordism” is a fascinating concept, and to grasp it requires a moment of Enlightenment that is obtained at great personal price – the price of shedding the Corporate Illusions you have accepted, and have defined yourself in terms of.
Yet, “Words” are simply the boxes Ideas are placed in; “Wordism” transforms the words from their true meaning, into an alternative social meaning, that serves those who control the society at the expense of the people who create, and build, the society.
The Mind creates and accepts words to map the Reality before it; essentially, the Mind is a SYMBOL PROCESSOR, and words are among the symbols the Mind uses to define Reality, and map Reality onto the Consciousness of each and every one of us.
When the perverted meaning of words are so deeply ground into us, and they are reinforced with preverbal indoctrination (putting infants in front of a tv set, which skips prefrontal processing), then the words/picture mapping lead to a mismatch – in the mature Mind – because the internally accepted meaning of the WORDS do not map to the Reality, and this creates “massive cognitive dissonance.”
In short, the Mind can not accept what its senses are telling it.
The subsequent confusion develops to anger, and we self-medicate to tell our tool of survival, the Mind, to shut up and go away.
It takes acceptance of anger, and the positive use of that anger, to create enough heat, and Light, to burn away the clouds that have been placed over your Vision, your Understanding.
You won’t need the soma, any more.

Genetics update – no Khan genes in Russians!

Anyone notice how people are more accepting of RACE as a POSITIVE issue, and the realm of the scientific method supports it!
