I believe behaviour rather than rhetoric.

Muslims immigrants come here rather than go to Muslim countries.

The West is better.

Socialists stay here rather than move to socialist countries.

Capitalism is better.

Believe their behaviour, not their words.

Wrong, but the truth is actually quite interesting

Higher IQ people can accurately peg the intelligence of lower IQ people

And most lower IQ people can sense when they're dealing with someone smarter. But the lower IQ person usually has no idea how much smarter the higher IQ person is

They are unable to discern whether they're dealing with a 10 point or a 40 point difference

This leads the lower IQ person to do things like misperceive verbose or studious people as hyperintelligent, confusing knowledge/memory and even pretentious tryharding for intelligence

When in reality, these "hyperintelligent" people may be just a few hairs above them in real fluid intelligence

Likewise, they wouldn't be able to identify a real genius from their mental output and could easily peg someone 150+ as 110-120 if asked

Because fundamentally, they cannot understand what intelligence actually looks like in practice. They only have a crude mental model of it. And a lot of this model is down to the stress/friction they feel when trying to understand someone. And the most obvious friction is when someone uses big words and concepts

While they are much less likely to have this high friction experience with someone truly hyperintelligent, either because they stay quiet, or because that person is smart enough to change their register depending on who they're talking to

For instance, Edward Teller said of John Von Neumann (likely 180-200 IQ)

"Von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my three-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.”

What's much harder for someone higher IQ to perceive in someone lower is emotional and ethical/moral processing. Even if they can identify the baseline level of intelligence in a person, it's a struggle to understand why they act because they do not relate to this experience

For instance, someone acting out of fear, irrational anger, shortsighted greed, jealousy, shame and other impulsive emotions. The higher IQ person tries to find a logic and clarity in it that doesn't exist. While the lower IQ person's reality just involved a bombardment of intense emotions they reacted to in the only way they knew

There was never the capacity to zoom out or process it through a rational part of the mind. And in this regard, there's no logical clarity for the higher IQ person to reach about "why" the lower IQ person did what they did, except that they are driven by a mess of reactive emotionality that they neither see clearly, nor even care to see clearly

Higher IQ people also struggle with understanding ethical/moral choices in lower IQ people. They project their own values because they feel so fundamental and unquestioned to their identity that they cannot even imagine someone not valuing it

For instance, values like fairness, reciprocity, care for a shared environment, and other long term social games that are net positive for all over time. Lower IQ people instead may live in a world of getting all you can get, assuming others will screw you first, seeing it as another person's problem or stupidity, and so on

An example of this at scale is mass migration to the west, where relatively intelligent Westerners cannot grok that less intelligent migrants have zero care or awareness of their values, and will end up suffering the consequences of it

Higher IQ people also misread other high IQ people in the same ethical/moral axis, but the interesting thing is that it still happens even when someone is significantly more intelligent than another person or group, because it's down to their own projection rather than active deception

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué :

"Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas."

Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées.

Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri.

Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent.

Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment.

Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs.

Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique.

Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile).

D'où ma théorie :

Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur.

D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres.

Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent.

C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Restore Britain is now polling 9% nationally - it continues to grow and grow. We will soon overtake the Lib Dems. That is historic growth.

And I want to be really clear about what our objective is.

Win the next general election, and restore Britain.

We will stand hundreds of candidates from outside the rotten political establishment.

They will not be failed Conservative ministers. They will not be desperate careerists who are seeking to harness the rightful anger of the British people to advance their own interests. They will not be politicians.

They will be men and women who understand how the real world works - in business, medicine, industry, science, education, the military. Proper Britain.

I have no interest in appealing to the Westminster elite - Tory, Reform, Labour. It all just stinks. Same people, same ideas, same failures. I don’t want to join the establishment. I want to smash it up.

Because Britain doesn’t reforming, it needs restoring. Back to a time when our political system worked for the only group of people who matter.

The British people.

We are at the start of a very long road, but we have taken the first few very important steps.

People laughed when I founded Restore Britain - they said we’d never even reach 1% in the polls.

Well, we’re at 9% and we are not stopping there. Reform are leading that poll on 21%. On current trajectory? We will soon overtake the Tories and Labour, and then Reform.

That’s the plan. And when we do it, that’s when the real change starts. We are aiming to implement the most radical changes to the British state anyone has seen in living memory. And I mean radical.

Join the team, join Restore Britain.

Help us make history.

Let’s get our country back.

[Joey Mannarino @JoeyMannarino]

Viktor Orban didn’t cancel any elections and never arrested people for social media posts. He also stepped down after his election loss and is partaking in a peaceful transfer of power.

But, don’t forget, he was a dictator.

Keir Starmer attempted to cancel about 1,000 local council elections next month and arrests about 12,000 people a year for social media posts. He also refused to let a rival run for a seat in a by-election because he was worried it would be a threat to his leadership.

But, don’t forget, he’s a democratic leader.

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

Reform are captured.
Labour are captured.
Conservatives are captured.
Lib Dems are captured.
Greens are retarded (and probably captured).

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Pantomime politics is not what Britain needs.

Restoring Britain will not involve giant cheques, or t-shirt cannons, or indoor pyrotechnic displays.

It will require a series of very difficult decisions that a great number of people will not appreciate. That process will last many years. That’s just the honest truth.

It will mean removing millions of people who should not be in our country.

It will mean removing endless financial help from the government for healthy individuals who simply cannot be bothered to work.

It will mean vast cuts to the parasitic state that so many have become so accustomed to enjoying.

That will all be unpopular. That will all be challenged. That will all be uncomfortable.

I’m not promising you anything different.

If you want an easy ride, vote for someone else because Restore Britain is not going to provide that for you.

We are going to strip back the state in order to allow hardworking men and women to flourish. That is the only way out.

It is very possible that I will not even live to see the full benefits of these decisions.

So be it.

Restoring Britain is not an overnight job. It will take years, possibly decades, to reverse the damage inflicted on us all.

Politicians need to start finally being honest about the scale of what needs to happen

There is a vast, vast mountain to climb.

But it can, and it must, be done.

Does this win votes for Restore Britain? I don’t know. Probably not. But it’s the truth, and people need to hear it.

[Joshua Lisec, The Ghostwriter @JoshuaLisec]

There is so much lore you have to grasp and yet you can probably tell the entire story in a single tweet.

Why don’t you do that for us, @grok? Not an article. Not a longform tweet. Just 140 characters of truth.
