There's a popular meme in WN circles that goes something like this: Whites developed superior intelligence due to the harsh northern climate which not alone facilitated physical brain growth but ensured that the Darwinian Imperative culled those without the requisite intelligence, the ability for long-term planning and the willingness to defer gratification. The minds it shaped brought forth innovation, first benefiting themselves and then their offspring.
It goes liker this "It is only with the resultant prosperous luxuries that this generation can consider progressive arguments that would get themselves laughed out of their village in shame throughout civilized history. Indeed, being a progressive has become a way to signal just how comfortable and high status you are. Thank you for the innovations in reproductive medicine, now stay out of my bedroom while I laugh at the religious ethics that was my ancestor’s penicillin. Open your borders, disarm and share everything with the world or you’re a backwards racist hick. This washing machine is great, now stop oppressing women like a caveman."
This is a convincing thesis. As far as it goes.
However there's an extension to this meme which I believe to be dangerously wrong and with potentially disastrous consequences. "Threats to reproductive fitness can come from a bear running at you, or from a TV telling your daughter to never settle. You see the unfortunate story of a woman who spent the currency of her youth on degrees and contracepted sex with alpha males and then her IVF doesn’t take at 35. What I see is a gazelle who got eaten by a cheetah because it couldn’t run fast enough. To the universe, the result is just the same. There are those who won’t reproduce by their own carelessness or choice. It isn’t to be fought. It is evolution in action. It isn’t sad, it is a beautiful thing to witness."
Why do I think this is dangerously wrong? Because the lack of reproductive fitness is a function of the deliberate poisoning of that intelligence by a malevolent virus - it is not biological. There is nothing inherently self-destructive about progressives/DWLs in that they're not like the slow gazelle or (generally, I imagine) that they lack the planning capabilities that saved our ancestors. Neither is their syndrome immutable. It can be cured by administering the antidote to the malevolent virus.
Here I modestly propose my own experience as supportive evidence. I have a technology-related PhD, have been a visiting professor at a number of distinguished universities, have built and sold a technology-based enterprise. So I'm not stupid and don't lack the ability to plan. Neither am I or was I ever one of those effete advertising betas. I played rugby for years and in my time both administered and suffered many a physical beating. So I blushingly propose that I'm the kind of stock upon which White salvation can be based.
But here's the point. Up until comparatively recently I was a card-carrying member of The Cathedral. I bought into all the DWL bullshit! A number of different factors contributed to my awakening but the point is I was awakened. My 'condition' was not immutable, nor was it biologically based. It could and did change. That's why I believe the sub-meme - that DWLs are biologically destined for evolutionary extinction - to be a dangerous fallacy. Dangerous because if DWLs such I could see the light so can many if not most of the others. Giving up on them and relishing their destruction is, well, the kind of self-destructive behaviour we rightly condemn in them.
