Affirmative Racism

Posted September 19, 2024 By John C Wright

The Left continues to gaslight the unwary with the claim that systemic racism exists in the United States.

In reality the United States is the least racist nation in all of human history, and the only nation who ever sacrificed the sons of one race in war to free the sons of another race. (N.B.: The British actions against the Near East and Far East to extinguish the international slave trade were no less noble and brave, but did not rise to the level of open war.)

Racism properly so called is the political philosophy holding one race innately and irredeemably inferior to another, so that laws and customs promoting the humiliation, subjugation, slavery or extermination of that race are permitted, perhaps obligatory.

Does racism still exist in America?

To answer, we need but observe three points.

(1) The supply is insufficient for the demand. There is not enough racism in America to support the Race-hustle Industry.

Because of the lack of real racism, innocent and ordinary activities, such as hiring men on the basis of merit, which inevitably must lead to a numerical disparity in any field, will be condemned as racist. (Unless the field is athletics, where a racial disparity favoring the black race over the whites or yellows is unadmitted and unnoticed.)

Because of the lack of real racism, it must be manufactured. Each and every race-hate crime reported in the national news in a decade has been a hoax. See for example, Jussie Smollett, Covington Catholic, the Duke lacrosse team, plus a dozen or so “noose” hoaxes, starting with Bubba Wallace, and, most famous of all, the overdose of George Floyd.

(2) If institutions, such as colleges, allow one race to have rooms, dormitories, associations, cafeterias, fraternities, graduation ceremonies, and so on, segregated to exclude another race, but this second race may not even ask for the same privilege, the race allowed to segregate the other is the privileged race.

(3) In culture where one race is privileged over another, members of the under-privileged race will attempt to pass for members of the privileged race, in order to avail themselves of the privileges thereof.

On this point, one can determine which race is privileged by seeing who is attempting to pass for whom. See, for example, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Rachel Dolezal.

If a mulatto attempts to pass as White, it is because he perceives Whiteness to afford him some privilege or advantage. If he attempts to pass as Black, it is because he perceives privilege or advantage to rest with that race. See, for example, one Barry Soetoro, later Barack Hussein Obama.

Laws and customs meant to establish the inferiority of one race to another do exist, albeit at the moment only to the degree of humiliating that race, and awarding special privileges to another in terms of academic admission, hiring quotas, and government contract preferences.

One race is allowed to express race pride, but another is not, nor can they form clubs, groups, or associations meant to promote and protect their race.

For example, there is no Nation Association for the Advancement of Uncolored People.

The Golden Age Ep. 43 The Consulting Detective

Posted February 14, 2024 By John C Wright

Excerpts from THE GOLDEN AGE, my debut novel from 2001. 

In the far future, where humans have become as gods, living lives of perfect peace and prosperity, Phaethon of Rhadamanthus House discovers centuries of his memory are lost. Like his namesake, has flown too high, and must be cast down: for he has committed the one act the Golden Age forbids, to have ambitions higher than utopia can contain. Now his quest is to find himself.

Hoax List

Posted February 4, 2024 By John C Wright

I have maintained a list under the tag “Not Tired of Winning Yet” showing the various campaign promises by Trump made and kept. But I did not keep a list of the various lies, hoaxes, prevarications and gaslighting absurdities perpetrated by the mainstream Project Mockingbird assets known as the Fake News, but by the Men of the West called The Mouth of Sauron.

Fortunately, John Nolte of Breitbart has done my work for me:

A Question about 2020 Vote Count

Posted February 2, 2024 By John C Wright

Let me ask a question. I have asked several people in various fields, and no one has an answer. 

When the vote count was halted at 3.00 in the morning, PA Trump was up by 682K votes (15.2%); GA 311K (7.5%); MI 207K (9.8%); and WI 128K (4.9%). These are healthy margins. 

Per Politico, Biden allegedly won PA by 2%; GA by 0.2%; MI by 3%; WI by 1%.

These were the only jurisdictions where the vote count was halted. By 7.00 AM next day, five hours later, he had lost all those states.

Leave aside the statistical absurdity involved. My question is this:

  1. Who ordered the vote count halted?
    And let us have the names, please not merely some airy speculation that it was the officers in charge of voting.
     
  2. By what legal authority?
    I am an attorney, my wife has worked as a poll worker and supervisor in Virginia elections. No one can quote me a statute or regulation which permits this.
     
  3. On what grounds?
    If the vote count was halted in these jurisdictions, and no others, there should be a stated reason for the halt, something true in these places, no where else.
  4. And why does not one news outlet investigate the answer to this question? Not one?
    I used to work as a newspaperman. It should not be a hard story to cover. But no one is.

Long Lost Lyrics

Posted August 7, 2023 By John C Wright

While listening to EWTN Catholic radio on Sunday, I came across this unexpected little bit of Americana. There is a theme song, famous in my generation, that anyone with a black and white TV would have recognized, but no one would have known the lyrics, or even that it had lyrics.

Namely the theme to the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, was called “The Fishing Hole”

Incompetocracy

Posted July 26, 2023 By John C Wright

This week’s must-read article is from John Carter of Barsoom:

https://barsoom.substack.com/p/how-to-kill-the-incompetocracy

There’s a misconception out there that the source of the ruling class’ legitimacy is the consent of the governed. … Others would say that it is ultimately money that is the source of power…. The ruling class ultimately derives its assumed right to rule from the prestige of academic institutions.

The idea is that the smartest kids are admitted to the best schools, where they’re taught by the top minds in the sciences, philosophy, law, medicine, and the arts. They therefore possess both the highest degree of natural aptitude, and have been provided with the best possible training, meaning that they are naturally the most suited to take society’s reins.

What universities really sell isn’t an education: it’s the credential.

Review of the Movie We’ve All Been Waiting For

Posted July 18, 2023 By John C Wright

At a reader’s request, scifiwright is honored to reprint this film review from a nearby parallel universe perhaps more fortunate than our own. 

 

Like many people, when I heard the news that the Disney corporation had purchased the rights to make Star Wars sequels, I feared they might gut the heart of the series, fumble even basic storytelling principles, and insult the viewers with Mary Sue heroines, diversity hire characters, tangled yet aimless  plots, deconstruction and desecration of the original fan-favorite heroes, all topped off with heavy-handed political posturing crammed down the throat of the audience, mangling and mutating the most beloved franchise in movie history into an putrid and unsightly sewer fire.

I am glad to report that I need not have fretted. Two films of the new trilogy are out, and the filmmakers avoided all these pitfalls and pratfalls.

Another Word on Wordle

Posted February 3, 2023 By John C Wright

In an earlier post, I wrote of my delight with the word-game called Wordle, which is daily published on the website of the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html). The game is to guess the secret word. It allows six guesses of five letter words, and flags any correctly guessed letter, and flags whether the position is correct.

Several factors to weigh when making guesses are, first, to eliminate as many letters as possible, and, second, to eliminate more frequent letters first.

Eliminating the frequently appearing letters first narrows the possibilities swiftly enough to allow remaining guesses to eliminate anagrams.

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing all the letters of the secret word, but lacking position clues to know whether it is UPSET rather than SETUP, SPOON rather than SNOOP, or UNLIT rather than UNTIL.

A Physiology Lesson from Reddit by SnapperTrx

Posted September 27, 2022 By John C Wright

Rumor has it that somewhere outside of the Empire of Lies is the Island of Sanity. There, little girls learn about the difference between girls and boys the hour they are told where babies come from. Here, where you and I live, it is not so.

The experience of young athletic ladies misled by modern lies into thinking themselves equal in strength to young men is not rare.

Not once, but twice, ladies of my acquaintance told me stories of their shock and surprise the hour they discovered the casually overpowering strength of boys.

That these ladies could be so deeply deceived on a point so obvious was my own first exposure to what is now commonly called gaslighting, that is, lies that contradict the obvious.

The first chapter of one of my novels has a scene where my heroine makes this selfsame discovery her teen years, when the physical differences first are seen. It is the first thing, not the last, a girl should learn about womanhood when she enters that estate.

This column from Snapper’s Domain (a realm of gaming, music, religion and wooden weapons) touches on a similar theme and point. Reprinted here with the author’s permission. The words below are his.

On the Unpopularity of Pilot Wave Theory

Posted September 26, 2022 By John C Wright

Pilot Wave theory is a theory I should have been told about when I was a child, and it should have been mentioned in science fiction stories at least as often as quantum mechanics or other post-Newtonian theories of physics.

But, like the Austrian School of Economics, like Ludwig von Mises, the conversation within the field was predominated by a prejudice not inclined to judge each school of thought on its merits.

In Economics, Marx and Keynes predominate. In physics, Heisenberg and Bell.

WORDLE — The Mathematical Approach

Posted August 31, 2022 By John C Wright

Hearing several interesting responses about the word-guessing game Wordle, including a video recommended by our own D.J. Schreffler on solving Wordle using information theory , I revised my list of openers, to be a little more rigorous.

I am bemused that this math fellow is far more diligent and methodical than I could ever hope to be, using logarithmic equations and information theory to deduce his best guesses.

I would make a snarky comment about some people having too much time on their hands, but then again, I am writing a column about Wordle at the moment, so I cannot snark.

The Good Book should tell us to snark not, lest we be snarked. By the snark you snark on others, ye shall be snarked.
