“There's a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.” ― Clint Eastwood

Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?

Then you want a smarter woman because their higher executive functioning means more self-restraint, stoic capacity, less irrationality etc. Potato women crash out far easier and more often and are not as reliable or loyal. The misconception is that dumber = easier because they’re less argumentative. Which is true. Clever women are more argumentative, because they can actually think for themselves and so don’t just assume you’re right about everything because you’re dominant. They can analyse things, and you can actually have a meaningful conversation about how to best approach something (strategise) instead of her just blindly accepting whatever you say, she can help keep you sharp and manage/rule with you. You’re not actually alone with everything important. But I do understand that mediocre men don’t want to be subject to scrutiny or aided in this way. They just want minimal friction and blind obedience for the sake of ego gratification. So the friction instead comes from how much more dependent, low functioning and less capable she is, rather than her willingness to challenge you, because you chose a literal potato. And to be honest if you are a man worth your shit, you wouldn’t want a woman who just antagonises you with endless challenges, because that is inelegant and dysfunctional, yes, you want a woman who knows how to pick her battles, but you should also want one smart enough and brave enough to call you out when she believes you’re wrong in some critical manner. This is a way in which she can protect you from yourself: by seeing your blind spots, and making you aware of them with love and grace. You want a woman with actual spine, or you are going to end up getting betrayed by a coward who is too avoidant to confront you, but will roll on you the first moment it is convenient to, she gets scared or her built up resentments finally bubble over. Reproducing with a low IQ woman as a clever man is truly a waste of your genes, and if you are not trying for the very best possible for yourself in this life as a man, then you are mediocre despite your gifts, because you fully intend to waste them by prioritising ease over brilliance. Of course it is your bloodline to insult, but life isn’t meant to be easy for a man, so easy is not something you should be aiming for. Doesn’t mean you have to make it needlessly difficult for yourself, but this is not needless - it is “the cost of doing business” - meaning if you want smarter children with a more capable, soulfully beautiful and more interesting mother, then you need to be capable of governing a woman operating at a higher level of complexity. If you are not capable of that, that’s fine. The vast majority of men are not. You have to know what you can handle and not one shot yourself trying to lead a woman two standard deviations above you in G, but acting like “dumber women are better” is pure cope. It is factually, categorically and provably wrong. And standing up for high IQ women in this regard is quite literally a hill I’m willing to die on.

I look down on men for this. I’ve debated this topic many times before, and it is probably the most dysgenic thing about my sex “I want a woman who’s easier to lead, so I’ll get a simple one” Men really do be nerfing their kids genetics to be the wizard king of a potato woman.

What makes this even more infuriating is the hypocrisy. The same elites demanding open borders surround themselves with private security, gated communities, and insulated political districts while ordinary citizens deal with the consequences.

“This, incidentally, is almost the whole weakness of Nietzsche, whom some are representing as a bold and strong thinker. No one will deny that he was a poetical and suggestive thinker; but he was quite the reverse of strong. He was not at all bold. He never put his own meaning before himself in bald abstract words: as did Aristotle and Calvin, and even Karl Marx, the hard, fearless men of thought. Nietzsche always escaped a question by a physical metaphor, like a cheery minor poet. He said, ‘beyond good and evil,’ because he had not the courage to say, ‘more good than good and evil,’ or, ‘more evil than good and evil.’ Had he faced his thought without metaphors, he would have seen that it was nonsense. So, when he describes his hero, he does not dare to say, ‘the purer man,’ or ‘the happier man,’ or ‘the sadder man,’for all these are ideas; and ideas are alarming. He says ‘the upper man,’ or ‘over man,’ a physical metaphor from acrobats or alpine climbers. Nietzsche is truly a very timid thinker. He does not really know in the least what sort of man he wants evolution to produce. And if he does not know, certainly the ordinary evolutionists, who talk about things being ‘higher,’ do not know either. Then again, some people fall back on sheer submission and sitting still. Nature is going to do something some day; nobody knows what, and nobody knows when. We have no reason for acting, and no reason for not acting. If anything happens it is right: if anything is prevented it was wrong. Again, some people try to anticipate nature by doing something, by doing anything. Because we may possibly grow wings they cut off their legs. Yet nature may be trying to make them centipedes for all they know.” G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy (1908).

They ever figure out what’s beyond good and evil? Maybe even what’s beyond that?

When Theodore Roosevelt spent a year in the African bush after his presidency, he could not imagine going that long without reading. His sister curated 59 of his favorite classics and rebound them in tough leather. These included The Odyssey, Don Quixote and Shakespeare.
