NASSIM: TOTAL NONSENSE WITH PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE CONCLUSION
— “Alexander Zavialov: It means nothing. For as long as I can remember, Nassim has had an inferiority complex due to him being an Arab Christian, which led to an obsession with and an attempt to label his people as Mediterraneans. He doesn’t understand population genetics very well, but he did at the very least include an image of genetic distance between Lebanese and others. Of course, if he wanted to make a substantive point, he would’ve included an image showing the genetic distance between Greeks and other populations instead. If he had an iota of genetic knowledge, he would’ve known that it’s impossible to establish how much Arab input there’s present in the Lebanese gene pool, because the only significant difference between these two populations is how much Basal Eurasian admixture they carry.
I’ve yet to see a Nordicist who claims that Ancient Greeks were blond Germanics. The point they’re trying to make, which turned out to be true and was quite obvious for a very long time, is that the Ancient Greeks ultimately derive their culture, language and religion from a Northern European-like people, which turned out to be true when Lazaridis et al (2017) confirmed that Greeks went from zero to approximately 20% North European (Steppe_MLBA, Corded Ware, Srubnaya) during the transition from Minoan to Myceneaean, rather than deriving their PIE ancestry directly from the Pontic-Caspian steppe (Yamnaya). This makes them secondary receivers of Yamnaya admixture. On top of that, we’ve yet to sample a single elite male Mycenaean burial. So there’s plenty of things left to uncover.” —
The data has been consistent. The European branch vs the Iranian (Indian, Semitic-Babylonian, Arab(Yemeni-Ethiopian), North African) branch. The European branch chose ‘real’ thought and achieved higher neotonic development and greater suppression of underclass reproduction, and the Iranian branch ‘ideal’ thought and achieved lower neotonic development and expansion of the underclass reproduction.
What I would prefer that we focus on the reasons *WHY* western civilization, developed not first, but *FASTER* than the rest: The Natural, Common Law of Torts culminating in Aristotelian Reason, Stoic Philosophy, and Roman Law.
Real originated in Law, and Ideal originated in Religion.
SO JUST THE OPPOSITE FINDINGS
Hitler would have felt vindicated.
That’s just how it is. And every single bit of evidence coming out is only providing further vindication. The Yamna invented the components necessary for civilization. But while the two branches of europeans (white people) spread via their technological advancements, the east developed religion and authoritarianism, and the west developed law and meritocracy. And the reasons are fairly obvious in retrospect: the demographics of the peoples that they conquered or displaced, and the methods of production available to them: concentrated production of river valleys for authoritarian and religious rule and paid armies, versus distributed production of farms for market rule, and market-armies: a militia.
THE BORDERLINE OF PSEUDOSCIENCE:
Nassim, you already have a reputation for borderline pseudoscience that threatens the insight you’ve made into the psychology of scale. Let’s try to remember that specialization in one area does not lead to same levels of comprehension in another.
