The example below, Hardric’s “transition from Petty politics to Racial Politics” represents EXACTLY what I am trying to produce here.
Someone made a joke about whitakerism since I object so much to a Wordist Whitakerism. But as I was on the trip to New York playing possum in the back of the van, someone said something and then said proudly, “Now THAT’S Whitaker thinking!”
I realized that what I am trying to get to here is Whitaker thinking. A Whitakerism would exclude OTHER thoughts, as Wordism always does. But Whitaker thinking can be used by an evolutionist or a creationist, by either of just about any two sides in a discussion.
Hardric gave a new phrase to Whitaker thinking. But if you USE Whitaker thinking, you will realize that the LAST thing I want to claim is that my thinking is NEW.
Gravity was OLD when Isaac Newton was born. Ask anyone doing the work building the pyramids and he would have said, “Yes, I did notice gravity from time to time.” The Law of Displacement was in action when the only things floating on earth were on hot lava, but Archimedes came up with that explanation for floating ships billions of years later.
Occam’s Razor, that one should look for the first and simplest cause first, was in operation when the first nerve cell appeared on earth. But when the brain got a certain size, they began seeking complicated solutions first. Occam’s Razor is the basis of Western science, but it is also a return, literally, to horse sense.
Whitaker thinking is no substitute for knowledge or experience. It is an ADDITION.
The gravitational system of Newton is SIMPLE, but it is not EASY. Europe’s greatest minds were still finding its implications and working out its mathematics for a century afterwards. You can state the Laws of Physics in a few sentences, but it takes a little longer to become a physicist.
Whitaker thinking is probably a subset of Occam’s Law in social areas. But its implications goon and on, and it is not based on faith. When a subject comes up, you can try it. If it doesn’t fit, screw it. Don’t try to cram the universe into it.
I am going to try to give some of the basic rules of Whitaker thinking. I am sure it took Occam a long time to figure his objections to Scholastic Philosophy down to one sentence, and I am not even sure HE is the one who did it.
SOME rules of Whitaker thinking are:
1) WHY did that person say ANYTHING? We know to ask that about commercials, but we seem to go blank about it in everyday life;
2) LISTEN to what a person says and SEE all the assumptions he is making. For two generations we have heard people demand immigration into ALL white countries and ONLY white countries all our countries. We have heard the question asked routinely asked, “Is Eastern Europe READY for immigration YET?” But only with Bob’s Mantra did the IMPLICATIONS of this thinking get targeted.
There are lots more. Some are below, and I will be going into more with more specificity. But by now I should NOT be doing this ALONE.

Some thoughts on the traps of Wordism:
One, words are tools we manufacture to describe a situation. However, we allow our thinking to become enslaved by the tools, and see thee world through the lenses of the tools – the words – we created.
Two, we become servants of our creations, through intellectual lassitude.
Three, this gap between our passively accepting the words and meanings offered to us by others, this abrogation of our responsibility to do BETTER, reduces us to being at the mercy of those who define the words.
Four, worst of all, we accept these terms in the construct on an implicit false duality; with neither terms being accurate understood, or defined, we try to straddle two implicitly false world views.
Five, our Minds – the tool of our survival – is slowly driven into the functional equivalent of insanity, taking the Persona with it. This often leads to suicide, and more often, the constructive equivalent of suicide.
Six, this is seen most openly in our society in the FACT that over half of the Adult population are on prescription tranquilizers; HALF of the Adult population’s Minds can not handle what their senses are telling them. By putting the Mind to sleep, if you will, the situation only becomes worse – MUCH worse.
Seven, two factors work wonders to reform this state of affairs, one emotional, the other, intellectual, which works hand-in-glove with the emotion.
The emotion is anger – pure, white-hot, burn away the mist of Lies and Illusions anger, harnessed as the engine used to power the Awareness of Aggressiveness, and harnessing that aggression constructively into focused, disciplined, ASSERTIVE behavior.
I used martial arts classes to get in touch with this power of the Shadow of which Jung wrote so accurately, and harness it to the fulfillment of a greater Purpose than myself.
The intellectual construction is the primacy of RACE – First, Foremost, Forever – as the primary organizing principle for ALL social systems.
RACE has two Aspects: the first, dynamically, is the Living Bridge between Family and Culture; the second, structurally, is the relationship between Family and RACE, with Family as the microcosm of RACE, and RACE as the macrocosm of Family.
I see ALL social issues in terms of RACE – First, Foremost, Forever – and use the anger as Light on the Path to Truth.
And, if the words we use are used to manipulate us, against the best interests of our Selves, our Family, and our RACE, then I either don;t use them, or accept the fact that I can be in their intellectual and social world, but not OF it. (It just takes a lot of work to keep shifting the meanings of words with real-time translations!)
And, as to the “words” used as social control systems by our preachers…
That’s for another time.
(Blood pressure…)

Bob, simply put, why are we killing ourselves?
We spent a millenium expanding across the Earth.
Is our self destruction logical? Simple?
Will the rule of parsimmony work here?
Or will Occams Razor be permenantly dulled by the seeming anti-logic of our self destruction?
Multiculturalism and “diversity” are EFFECTS.
Mass racial self destruction is an EFFECT.
What possible cause can there be?
Genes don’t struggle to express themselves just to create dysgenic offspring.
White people are acting irrationally.
Our beliefs are killing us.

Washington Post’s “100 Blogs We Love” : http://tinyurl.com/2kdjc8
Page 5, which has more relevant mantra targets (politics, media scrutiny, etc): http://tinyurl.com/ysy2nj
The blogs mentioned will have large readerships along with an increase in traffic over the next few days, so let’s hit them with the mantra.
