| JAMES WATSON |
The tragedy of this sad incident is that it is simply emblematic of the cataclysmic collapse of Western civilisation. How can it possibly survive as a castle built on the shifting sand of Leftism? The Left, which of course has attained hegemony over the West, has a problem with reality. The reasoning of the Left is predicated upon the substitution of noble ideals and wishful fantasy for reality. What should be, or what could be, time and time again, is mistaken for what is.
James Watson, who in 1962 shared with his colleague, Francis Crick, the awarding of a Nobel Prize for a breakthrough, hailed as no less than the greatest scientific achievement of the twentieth century: the discovery of the the double-helix of DNA, has been churlishly stripped of honourary titles including Chancellor of Emeritus by the Cold Springs Harbour Laboratory for which he worked for over thirty years. This appalling lack of gratitude is thrown into sharp relief by this from the laboritory's own archives: "Under his direction, the renowned but financially endangered institution was revitalised. Watson steered the laboratory into the field of tumor virology, from which emerged our present understanding of oncogenes (cancer genes) and the molecular basis of cancer. From 1994 - 2003 he was president of CSHL, and Chancellor from 2003 - 2007."
Not included in this tribute is the reason for his chancellorship ending in 2007. He was unceremoniously sacked and the reason for this is the opinion he expressed in his book, Avoid Boring People, to wit, "[t]here is no firm reason to anticipate the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically". These "racist comments" could not be tolerated. Compounding his crime, he moreover expressed misgivings about the dismal future of sub-Saharan Africa because of the low quality of its racial stock. To the good people of CSHL though, this was the perversion of science fuelled by pure prejudice. In fact, they claimed, science was on their side. Where was the evidence to the contrary?
A mountain of scrupulous scholarship proving the truth of what Watson was saying would seem to serve more than adequately. But the Leftist would have it that that was simply subjective opinion which science has long since completely debunked. One has to wonder exactly who these debunking scientists are who can so playfully reinterpret evidence every which way and loose to suit the Leftist agenda. One can only surmise that they themselves are hopelessly brain-washed idiots because the hard evidence has been home and hosed for decades, not the least in a little something called the "bell-curve". The bell-curve shows the mean of IQ in any society it is applied to with the top of the bell the point of numbers in a population with average IQ, getting lower on the left-hand side with the extremely stupid and conversely on the right-hand side, the extremely smart. The Bell Curve was also the title of a book by Richard Hernstein and Charles Murray who both also got into very hot water indeed for showing findings not acceptable to the Church of Equality.
These findings in the US, wherever people were tested, showed a significant gap IQ gap between Whites and Blacks. Further, they showed that there was no explaining the gap in anything other than in terms of IQ being hereditary. Nature was a clean winner over Nurture in this regard.
Of course, the powers that were weren't having a bar of this. Not after the Frankfurt School, the purveyors of "critical theory" had spent years of hard work manufacturing the Nurture myth, including Jewish "anthropologist", Franz Boas, sending his protege, the dopey Margaret Mead, to Samoa to gather evidence of how happy and free-loving we all would be if simply nurtured in the right way. Poor Margaret! The fun-loving Samoans were just messing with her. Behind their giving her what she obviously wanted were sexual mores every bit as "repressive" as what they were in the West. And why would that be? Simple. Because rampant sexual promiscuity could destroy a primitive tribe more surely than a tropical cyclone.
However, all one really needed to do to prove Watson's assertion was to take a glance at the current state of sub-Saharan Africa. One would soon arrive at the conclusion that sub-Saharan Africans had never been capable of creating civilization and never would be. They were much better at destroying civilizations that had been created for them by Whites who had then left, hounded out of Africa by the world's do-gooders reciting the evils of colonialism like church catechisms.
But back to Watson after such a lengthy digression: he is now back in the headlines. After his being sacked, he basically went to water and offered a grovelling apology. He couldn't possibly fathom what had got into him to be expressing such egregious opinions. Although not willing to reinstate him - his recanting would never accomplish that - his persecutors at CSHL, perhaps softening a little, allowed him to keep his honourary titles, including chancellor emeritus. In a final indignity, he has now been stripped of these honours. So, how did this come about twelve years after his effectively being made a non-person?
In a recent documentary in the American Masters series on the PBS network entitled Decoding Watson, Watson effectively revoked his recanting. This is exactly what was wanted by the makers of the documentary who admitted they were out to entrap him. To paraphrase, by saying he wished that what he had originally said wasn't true, he knew in his heart mind and soul that it was, he was effectively sticking by the "racist comments" he'd made years earlier. At ninety years of age, the man was back on his hind legs, finding once again some steel in his soul. This was reminiscent of Martin Luther's "here I stand. I can do no other". Here was a man of honour after all, a man of a sadly diminishing tribe - men with the courage of their convictions. With a few million more like this, who knows? Perhaps the West may have a chance of surviving after all.
But the odds of this happening aren't high. Because of the Leftist stranglehold on the West, and the religious fervour that propels them, every bit as fanatical as any religious imperviousness to reason throughout history, nations of the West are being diluted every hour that we live and breath with masses of low IQ people. Fleeing like residents escaping a burning house from the societies they themselves have created (cultures being created by people and not the other way around) or, if you like, Donald Trum's "shit-holes", they stampede to the West, taking note of the mile-high, mile-wide neon sign saying EVERYBODY WELCOME. NONE TOO WORTHLESS TO BE ACCEPTED.
Yes, come and do to our nations exactly what you've done to yours.
It's been close to eighty years since ideas of improving the race have been acceptable in polite society. Those notions are derided as being so evil that only Nazis could entertain them. But it wasn't just National Socialists who promoted eugenics. Thinking men throughout the world who had studied history were in no doubt about the cause of the collapse of civilisations. It was simple. It was directly connected to the deterioration of the people who made up those civilisations. The more that civilisations advanced, the easier the living became and thus the proliferation of those who wouldn't have survived in the initial building stages of civilisations. Eugenics was the only answer to this otherwise inexorable process. It's has been almost a century since men cogitated on what heights humans could be lifted to.
Tragically, we are now hell-bound in the opposite direction. Since the Jews won World War Two, the West has been frantically digging its own grave. If Liberalism is the ideology of Western Suicide, then Liberal Democracy, in which the rapidly multiplying ignorant and imbecilic who are led by the nose and herded in any direction desired by the means of diabolically cunning persuasion techniques, is the provider of as much Kool-Ade as needed. Here's a suitable epitaph for the West: They enjoyed
unprecedented levels of freedom, and so they died of selfishness.
\Over the graveyard of the West will roll the mighty engine of nationalism and leadership by the very best and brightest. Did someone just mention China?
