The issue of how culture goes to seed in Race – a big issue, for obvious reasons – just got a big kick forward.
See this:

The genetic component of Human evolution just took a big step forward.
These, and other developments, are happening at a rate undreamt of by our ancestors.
I’ll state this again:
Homo Novus will walk the Earth by the turn of the next century, and just might look at us as we do at house pets.
The Race Issue just took first place, in all realms of development, and no one – publicly – outside this blog seems to even both to care, much less try to understand.
Damn, but I feel like The Gods are looking at the Obama Coronation, and are saying, “Just wait. WE control The Long Game.”
Fine.
While the exact point AFKAN raises here is worth discussion, there is a more general lesson behind it that is CRITICAL to any accurate vision of the future: WHAT WE DON’T KNOW YET.
I will discuss that in a new article,

“The Race Issue just took first place, in all realms of development, and no one – publicly – outside this blog seems to even both to care, much less try to understand.”
Nevertheless, the race issue shall remain in first place regardless.
There is great power that can be picked up fairly simply by ditching the kinds of words and phrases that circulate misunderstanding.
But saying this is no different than all those wanna be talents that have vision without the capability to execute at a practical level. For that a tool is needed and after all, tools are repositories of congealed intelligence. They are way of propagating intelligence while bypassing instruction.
So the future becomes a linear extrapolation simply because no one can imagine the tools that are destined to actually create it. It is a leap from the telegraph to the modern PC. With hindsight, the leap is perfectly logical. But no one in 1865 saw it.
In my work, I need a capability to animate the behavior of fluids in 3D in a structure of connected pipes and reservoirs and I am frustrated that the tool I want doesn’t exist (pragmatically speaking).
Now, if I were a genius in playing chess, perhaps I would not require this.
Tools are a whole lot more important than geniuses, geniuses being flat out hard to come by, and lacking the right tools and geniuses are the real reason the people who rule us continually screw up.
But nonwhites, generally and genetically speaking, cannot create the tool.

Dave’s basic point deserves elaboration, as tools do crystallize knowledge, but are also a challenge to extend the abstract thinking that Created the tool into forming yet more sophisticated variants of the tool as the use of the tool transforms society.
The telegraph didn’t just compress time and space for information; it also created large markets for the commodities that were developed by the transcontinental train system.
In time, of course, the telegraph became the PC; smaller, cheaper, and far more powerful than the telegraph, and, again, a tool for creating and transforming markets; the same principle, at a higher degree of abstraction, with much greater Power being controlled.
This is an important point that demonstrates how the Creative Race MUST transcend Wordism, the limits set upon our thinking by our Racial enemies.
Another useful Tool was the Creation of the foundation of the calculus; at one time, the purview of the greatest minds on Earth, and, today, in the society of OUR Tools, something that is routinely taught at the high school level.
Again, basic observations, applied to a Mind that can function at a greater degree of abstraction than the minds of the Other Races.
Extend this model to models of governance, and the CONservatives that have dominated Racial thinking about White Nationalists, and see something remarkable.
They worship the Constitution – which one is a matter of opinion, but most seem to worship the pre-14th Amendment Constitution – while ignoring the fact that the Constitution itself is a creation, and they should take the responsibility to try to do better – much better – in dealing with the abstract principles (and conflicts between those principles) better than the Constitution currently does.
Not ONE CONservative has ever discussed this issue, particularly in the context of Race.
Thus, they accept the Tool they have been given, and Cultural development in this area freezes, for us, and is abandoned by us for wide-open “development,” by our Racial Enemies.

By the way, Dave, I think there might be something like the tool you envision at the national Center for Supercomputing Applications.
I think something might be coming along soon that would make running that model feasible. Last I saw, there are some incredible “desktop supercomputers” right over the horizon.
