Summary
James Bowery is a 60-year-old computer programmer, computer scientist, and author. He is the author of The Theory of Jewish Virulence, which is an analogy to Richard Foschetti's theory of the spread of virulence in homoeroticism. His theory is complementary to both Kevin MacDonald's thesis, documented in The Culture of Critique, and the Niche Theory, which argues that the emergence of human civilization is the result of horizontal transmission from which virulence has evolved. James explains how civilization is group selection and group selection is war. He says this question must be asked before we talk about what kind of system is best for our people.

This is Radio 314 on the Red Ice Radio Network.
00:00:49.200
The guest you're about to hear has intriguing and insightful ideas to share.
00:00:55.240
We'll first discuss his interesting background in IT,
00:00:58.080
then move on to talk about his theory of Jewish virulence,
00:01:01.240
which is analogous to immunosuppression virulence.
00:01:04.740
We'll hear his hypothesis about the horizontal transmissions
00:01:10.780
This theory is complementary to both Kevin MacDonald's thesis
00:01:22.040
The pre-Christian Northern Europeans had a culture that recognized
00:01:28.600
which they called giants, serpents, vipers, and dragons,
00:01:31.900
depending on the characteristic of the organism.
00:01:35.200
James explains how civilization is group selection
00:01:43.420
before we talk about what kind of a system is best for our people.
00:01:46.780
Later, we'll explore a little bit of pagan history and culture,
00:01:49.560
and James also talks about sacralizing natural heterosexuality
00:01:55.640
So stick around because there's a whole lot more in between.
00:02:01.860
please tell us about your background as a pioneer in IT.
00:02:10.200
I started out doing computers when I was in junior high,
00:02:13.920
really programming a little weighing calculator.
00:02:19.860
People probably don't even know what Nixie tubes are.
00:02:26.100
and there was a waffle iron that punched cards.
00:02:32.600
But really, I got my start in a major way with the Plato Network,
00:02:42.960
that was experimentally run by the National Science Foundation
00:02:45.540
out of the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.
00:02:53.960
but we had a Plato terminal there hooked in across the state border.
00:02:58.680
And I wrote up – well, first of all, I was involved in a graphics for artists,
00:03:08.840
I was sort of their nerd, helping the artists get their stuff done.
00:03:12.040
And I ran across this graphics terminal that, for the time, was pretty amazing.
00:03:18.800
Back in 72 – actually, no, in 74, when I ran across this,
00:03:25.360
there was a 512 by 512 resolution and graphics resolution.
00:03:37.760
And I got into it very rapidly and did the first – I guess you'd call it the first
00:03:43.480
first-person shooter multiplayer game over the network.
00:03:48.620
And got involved with a lot of early work in telecommunications.
00:03:54.100
Did one of the first e-mail systems with the PlatoCom project.
00:04:00.180
Took off from there and went to work at Control Data Corporation in Minneapolis,
00:04:04.480
St. Paul, as a system programmer on the Plato system.
00:04:09.580
Tried to take it mass market, but we – even though we got the system demonstrated
00:04:15.900
that could go to mass market, the corporate heavies didn't want to take it that way.
00:04:20.900
And they decided they wanted to stick with the highfalutin corporate customers
00:04:26.300
So they missed their chance to be the internet 18 years early.
00:04:33.300
Yeah, I'm curious about virtual reality and also what we now call blogs
00:04:41.400
Well, I didn't really do the first online newspaper.
00:04:43.940
The virtual reality was really the primary thing that I did that was really first.
00:04:56.400
You get online and you play all kinds of different games online with other people
00:05:02.840
And back then, it was just basically stick figures.
00:05:06.060
You had these 3D stick figures that were floating around in space
00:05:10.040
and you could fly them around and do various things.
00:05:11.960
And I had based my system for my game on the Star Trek mythology
00:05:19.540
due to the fact that a two-dimensional game called Empire on Plato
00:05:24.860
And I sort of did a 3D takeoff on that with my own modifications
00:05:31.020
Which, since I had been sort of involved with zero population growth
00:05:42.600
And the Club of Rome model, which really focused on limits of terrestrial resources.
00:05:55.460
And since I was dealing with space, I started looking at how you could
00:06:02.840
And I did a little takeoff of my own of the Club of Rome model,
00:06:08.180
which incorporated non-terrestrial resources as a way of winning.
00:06:17.260
There was another guy that came along and wrote a book called
00:06:23.820
And he was sort of trying to make an argument against Paul Ehrlich
00:06:28.560
and the limits to growth people, zero population growth people,
00:06:31.500
that you could expand the ecological range of humanity off the Earth
00:06:37.440
and in so doing at least forestall the limits to growth problems
00:06:41.640
until you had, say, a factor of a thousand more population of humans
00:06:48.840
He came out with that a couple of years after I did the game.
00:06:52.620
So I think I probably couldn't claim that I was the first
00:06:55.820
to incorporate non-trail-story resources into the limits
00:07:03.980
There was a, well, I guess there was a newspaper
00:07:06.020
that I was involved with, maybe this is what you're referring to.
00:07:09.360
When Controlled Data Corporation decided not to pursue the mass market,
00:07:13.940
I was pretty alienated because I had sort of led a team of guys
00:07:20.480
and demonstrate that we could support enough users
00:07:23.680
that it would pay for all the hardware and service costs.
00:07:28.080
And then I discovered that a newspaper chain called NetRitter
00:07:31.740
out of Miami, in fact, it was the Miami Herald,
00:07:37.340
was the newspaper at the time that was looking into going
00:07:44.940
Somebody at Plato knew that I was interested in mass market,
00:07:48.520
approached this whole thing and gave me the ad.
00:07:51.700
I went down there, interviewed, and they gave me the position
00:08:02.500
And we made some pretty good progress in terms of trying to come up
00:08:13.740
This was back in 81, 82, 83, in that time frame.
00:08:19.280
And there were some difficulties at the time with AT&T being split up.
00:08:27.360
It was a monopoly that people were sort of trying to deregulate
00:08:32.160
or break up so they could deregulate the components.
00:08:35.100
And Western Electric was producing the terminal,
00:08:43.000
It turned out a lot of the stuff that I wanted to get done
00:08:49.000
So I ended up having to scale back my plans on that
00:08:57.080
that could support something that's more along the lines
00:08:59.780
of what the Macintosh became a few years later.
00:09:13.760
and they know this is pretty advanced at the time.
00:09:16.360
But it was sort of like JavaScript these days in the web browser,
00:09:19.980
except you would have it running in these little terminals.
00:09:22.520
Anyway, so we took off and tried to put together architecture like that,
00:09:29.820
and it turned out that there were certain deals
00:09:59.420
So we got one of the first sort of real-time instant messaging systems
00:10:08.680
and ran across some folks that had assistance from the military.
00:10:18.020
And we didn't have that access to the military's Internet,
00:10:25.800
and wrote some letters to try to get them to stop
00:10:31.520
assisting private competition and that sort of thing.
00:10:38.360
so I just proceeded on to do normal run-of-the-mill consulting
00:10:44.960
with Science Applications International Corporation down in La Jolla.
00:10:58.200
The Xanadu guys were really the first hypertext system.
00:11:02.760
The primary programmer there, Roger Gregory and I,
00:11:09.680
It was kind of a strange story I could go into,
00:11:14.600
A lot of the people who are into this stuff are into space stuff,
00:11:25.660
John Carmack, who ended up doing a first-person shooter game,
00:11:35.500
So it's the kind of thing where when money gets sort of shaken loose
00:11:40.220
from Wall Street and sort of rains down a little bit on those nerds,
00:11:48.660
So from there, I took off to work on Hewlett-Packard's
00:12:07.460
if you could take into account all of their promotional stuff,
00:12:12.620
which included like a four-page center spread of the Wall Street Journal
00:12:22.040
they were spending on this Internet Chapter 2 project.
00:12:39.080
I couldn't figure out what they were trying to do over there.
00:12:40.880
They kept on trying to get me to go work for them.
00:12:42.460
I had already glued together a bunch of their websites
00:12:45.000
in a federated login system in the early web days
00:12:55.800
So they went from a bunch of disconnected websites
00:12:58.360
for the different divisions into a unified login structure.
00:13:03.120
Nowadays, you have things like that with Facebook.
00:13:05.760
You can go to any website and log in with your Facebook account, for example.
00:13:08.840
So that was the kind of thing that I did back around,
00:13:11.640
I guess it was 97, 98 for Hillel Packard's various divisions.
00:13:16.400
And they were trying to get me to go work on this thing.
00:13:18.360
And I couldn't figure out, you know, I heard the words,
00:13:23.880
But I couldn't figure out technically what they were up to.
00:13:32.680
But anyway, so what ended up happening was I said,
00:13:35.300
look, you know, I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done.
00:13:42.860
And so I'll tell you what, I'll come work with you
00:13:45.660
if you let me pursue what I see as my direction here.
00:13:53.520
So I was able to go over there and had some freedom to pursue some stuff.
00:13:57.600
That was what I ran headlong for the first time
00:14:05.120
because of ethnic nepotism on the part of people from India.
00:14:09.760
What happened was there was one guy that I needed to hire
00:14:14.960
who had been actually working for Paul Allen's Interval Research in Palo Alto
00:14:20.660
on some very advanced mathematics in support of quantum computing.
00:14:29.140
to some of the nondeterminism you have to deal with
00:14:35.300
but I just have to get it out of the way for the record.
00:14:48.780
And I was told, no, I could hire all of the guest workers from India that I wanted,
00:14:56.460
Did they give you a reason for why you could only hire Indian workers?
00:15:00.820
No, it was just sort of understood that I was this guy
00:15:05.720
that was going to be a front for importing people from India.
00:15:10.200
I mean, that was sort of my, you know, the message that I got.
00:15:18.060
I mean, I had, you know, things were happening.
00:15:20.740
This is a point in time when, you know, things were really, you know,
00:15:25.040
I mean, for example, there was a, I passed up the opportunity
00:15:28.440
to go work on PayPal for this, for example, in the early days of PayPal.
00:15:33.620
And so, you know, I said, you know, I'm out of here.
00:15:38.000
And they said, okay, no, you can go ahead and do it.
00:15:39.620
And so I got them in and we were able to do a few things.
00:15:42.540
Then basically they marginalized and then we left.
00:15:47.480
I was not real motivated after that to work on this thing
00:15:51.360
because it just seemed like there was, what I saw going on
00:15:55.320
was basically a huge amount of money being spent
00:16:01.120
for the purpose of getting guys primarily Brahmin class out of India
00:16:07.780
away from their equivalent of affirmative action over there
00:16:12.720
and escape over here into positions where they were competing head-to-head
00:16:18.580
with guys like me who had, you know, really been founders
00:16:24.000
And, you know, they were asking me to not hire this guy
00:16:28.900
who clearly was, you know, he was a national treasure
00:16:36.860
But anyway, so I was kind of dismayed and disappointed,
00:16:41.900
not all that surprised from the standpoint that, you know,
00:16:46.560
I sort of saw this coming with all the H-1B visas and everything.
00:16:49.920
But at that time there hadn't been, I mean, there was such a huge growth in jobs,
00:16:55.180
nobody was really impacted by the big influx of H-1Bs.
00:17:00.000
It was only at the dot-com collapse in the spring of 2000
00:17:11.780
were being locked down by all these guest workers
00:17:14.980
and all the guys who had been around there for decades
00:17:18.700
They were sent packing to the Mountain States, Midwest, Pacific Northwest,
00:17:24.380
And so I decided I'd go to the Pacific Northwest for a while.
00:17:31.280
Now, today we wanted to talk about your theory of Jewish virulence,
00:17:35.740
but how does that connect with your background?
00:17:37.900
When did you start investigating further into Jewish activities?
00:17:40.840
Well, that was really as a result of having gotten involved with legislation
00:17:52.600
at the federal level in privatizing launch services.
00:17:59.400
I was chairman of an organization called the Coalition for Science and Commerce,
00:18:03.040
and we got the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Ron Dellums,
00:18:14.720
together with a write-in Republican Orange County candidate or congressman
00:18:20.600
to co-sponsor legislation to privatize launch services.
00:18:23.980
It was really kind of a strange coalition, but it worked.
00:18:29.180
And the point of that was to get the government out of picking winners
00:18:40.060
And I did this, you know, not as a professional thing.
00:18:42.300
This was just purely a grassroots kind of civic activity on my part.
00:18:45.900
And I made some substantial sacrifices to get it done.
00:18:51.360
And as a consequence of working on this, it became apparent to me that,
00:18:55.700
you know, the arguments that they always make about this kind of stuff,
00:19:04.480
oh, this stuff is too risky for the private sector,
00:19:07.040
so we have to have the government backing the technology.
00:19:10.100
And the problem is that government funding is through politics.
00:19:16.920
And politicians and the people that they pick to be the experts
00:19:20.680
are not the right people to manage risk in technology development.
00:19:26.840
So you really need to have people with their own money on the line
00:19:32.940
They've proven that they know what they're doing
00:19:36.180
And they have a lot of motivation to control risk.
00:19:46.500
technology development that is in the private sector.
00:19:48.680
Science, where you're dealing with something that's not even patentable,
00:20:00.980
And I can get into the philosophy of how you get that funded.
00:20:03.400
But the main thing is I discovered that there is a capital market failure.
00:20:10.720
And the techno-socialists have a point in the following sense.
00:20:16.700
There's, at the base of our economy is this sort of,
00:20:22.160
you know, we want to call it the Federal Reserve System.
00:20:24.020
There's an interest rate at the base of our monetary system
00:20:30.480
that in economics, say, modern portfolio theory,
00:20:50.500
that's approximately equivalent to the risk-free interest rate
00:20:58.040
So that's bad because you don't want to, you know,
00:21:00.640
it's one thing to have people who are not economic decision makers
00:21:06.320
They're, you know, off in the ghettos or wherever they are,
00:21:16.640
you're making them lazy with the wealth that they've got.
00:21:23.020
or handicaps their ability to make good, sound risk judgments
00:21:31.980
So I came up with a tax reform to deal with this.
00:21:38.560
It was a net asset tax that was linked to the interest rate
00:21:47.460
which is sort of like this risk-free interest rate.
00:21:52.020
And also tied that to what I guess nowadays would be thought of
00:22:01.940
and what's called the public sector rent seekers.
00:22:13.480
and passed the paper around to some think tanks
00:22:27.020
and there's a real problem with that, of course,
00:22:31.760
And the same thing goes with the Federal Reserve.
00:22:47.420
was that the names that kept on coming up were Jewish.
00:23:15.520
and the pioneer population in the United States,
00:23:19.160
And I hadn't really identified it as Jewish per se,
00:23:25.560
Jews might be sort of a part of this whole thing.
00:23:37.760
you know, really vicious arguments coming back at me,
00:23:40.160
and people were, like, indefatigable in their arguments,
00:23:59.620
if you will, of very highly proficient arguers,
01:01:22.960
to be part of a society that excludes you as a Jew?
01:02:28.300
by individual adults receiving a land rent stream
01:02:46.320
be set aside in which eusociality is suppressed,
01:02:50.600
It is suppressed by rules enforcing individual sovereignty,
01:02:55.140
including death penalty and deadly natural duel.
01:02:59.440
And I can read off those rules, but those are separate.
01:03:01.900
In essence, those are rules that govern what some people
01:03:22.380
You are, you know, if you're less and less accepted
01:03:36.800
replaces war over territory with this land rent stream.
01:03:48.480
over which they can perform their social experiment.
01:03:57.240
tyranny of the majority limited only by a vague laundry list
01:04:13.140
this is what I call my, my organization for war.
01:04:18.500
This is still accepting that there is a group selection of a form,
01:04:42.060
in terms of their interpretation of social theory,
