00:00:00.000
christian ministers who who are looking you in the eye right now and saying these disparities
00:00:05.120
don't exist every young man in the world can pick up their phone and in 15 seconds can see that the
00:00:13.040
average iq in haiti is 67. right and any christian minister who denies that will not have any
0.99
00:00:21.040
credibility they won't credibility but it is a sin to god is because you're a liar manifested
0.96
00:00:26.080
reality you're a liar it's not true you cannot be a minister of the gospel and be a public liar
0.98
00:00:32.100
right that's you're disqualified from ministry from lying you can't be a liar and be a minister
0.98
00:00:39.140
of the gospel all right here we are back for another live episode with nxr studios i am your
00:00:46.620
host pastor joel webin what you just watched was a quick little clip from i don't know about
00:00:52.980
year and a half, maybe two years ago, where we were discussing the topic that we'll be discussing
00:00:58.720
today in light of the new research that has come out of Nigeria, the topic being IQ and the
00:01:06.580
differences and disparities in IQ across different nations and different peoples. And I remember that
00:01:13.980
little clip right there, the place that we pulled it from this morning as we were preparing for this
00:01:18.540
episode. We didn't pull it from our own channel or our own sources. We pulled it from our detractors,
00:01:24.260
our opponents. I was slandered and smeared. People lost their ever-loving minds with that little
00:01:32.060
clip right there about a year and a half ago when we said, hey, if you're going to pretend as though
00:01:38.820
disparities in IQ across different peoples, nationalities, and ethnicities, races, that it
00:01:45.200
does not exist, then you're going to lose credibility. You are going to lose the trust
00:01:51.180
of young men, young Western men, because they're going to be able to readily find this information,
00:01:57.460
especially as suppression of free speech and these kinds of things has been mitigated.
00:02:04.260
It's not completely gone, but been mitigated over the last couple of years. There are less
00:02:09.440
restrictions on social media. There are less restrictions when it comes to publishing
00:02:15.180
certain information. You can find it more readily. It's more readily available than perhaps
00:02:21.100
ever before, at least in recent times. And so the whole point of that was to say, look,
00:02:28.480
disparities in IQ, they are undeniable. They exist. The research has been done.
00:02:33.800
and uh and when it comes to the particular country that we were talking about in that episode which
00:02:40.280
was haiti uh we know what the iq is and again it was christians christians were the ones who
00:02:46.740
for like a month straight were just doing you know response videos and retweeting and sharing that
00:02:55.040
clip as though it was some huge gotcha like we got joel this time you know he's a racist or he
00:03:01.840
made this number up or it doesn't come from anywhere so what we want to do in this episode
00:03:06.500
is uh first of course um i want to be magnumonious so the first thing that i'll say is i told you so
00:03:14.520
i was right and you were all wrong okay so i think that's how it works right you do something like
00:03:19.460
that um no nanny nanny boo boo you were absolutely wrong and i was absolutely right and you should
00:03:24.040
feel bad about yourself so that's first um now that that's out of the way uh continuing let's uh
00:03:29.280
let's do a punch list. Wesley has some stats up that he's going to share with us because this
00:03:35.120
actually matters. Why does this matter? Why are you just disparaging people? We're not trying to
00:03:39.940
disparage people, right? There's a difference in acknowledging realities versus hating people,
00:03:46.500
right? So this is not fueled by hatred, but we do need to acknowledge these realities. And the
00:03:53.100
reason why is because we live in a world that is dominated by a secular, and I would argue in many
00:03:59.920
ways satanic, worldview that goes against the natural order that God established known as
00:04:05.800
egalitarianism. Egalitarianism is not a biblical principle. Egalitarianism is not a biblical
00:04:12.760
worldview. The idea that people are just fungible widgets, that they can be interchanged at whim,
00:04:18.640
the idea of this blank slate-ism, as you've probably heard the phrase coined, blank slate-ism,
00:04:25.920
that ultimately the only difference between people is just resources. Did they have a father
00:04:33.000
in their home? Did they have a good family life? Did they get good nutrition? Did they get good
00:04:38.240
education? And the reality is that these things make a difference. Of course they do. Of course
00:04:42.380
they do. But right now, if you were to set up the same level of schools that we have here in the
00:04:48.800
West, in America, or certain European countries, and you were to set that up in Nigeria, and every
00:04:54.480
Nigerian boy and girl went to those schools for the next five years, it would improve their IQ.
00:05:00.880
IQ is malleable. It can be improved, but not whole deviations, right? It's not going to
00:05:07.140
take someone who has a 60 IQ and all of a sudden give them 125 years later that's just simply not
00:05:15.760
the way that the science works and I was told ad nauseum for years maybe you guys have forgotten
00:05:21.660
but 2020 2021 I was told to trust the science right I mean that's that's what was you know
00:05:27.860
forced down you know my throat every single day for you know a few years trust the science trust
00:05:34.300
of science? Well, we have science on IQ, and the reason why it matters is because egalitarianism
00:05:40.500
is a lie that has been fed to the West, and truth always matters. No matter how discomforting it
00:05:47.460
might be, truth matters because we're Christians, and Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
00:05:52.480
We love the truth, right? 1 Corinthians chapter 13, love rejoices in the truth, right? So we
00:05:58.640
love the truth, and we want to be honest about it, especially when something has been lied about.
00:06:04.300
when it has been profusely lied about when it has been suppressed so part of it is just getting to
00:06:10.340
the truth and the way that god actually made the world that there are some servants who have five
00:06:15.080
talents some that are given two some that are given one right we have a hierarchical world we
00:06:20.740
have a world of of distinctions and differences and distinctions necessarily create disparities
00:06:26.940
then the christian question first a christian acknowledges this as reality because christians
00:06:32.020
embrace reality. We don't suppress it or try to pretend as though it doesn't exist. Then what
00:06:36.880
makes us Christians, first embracing reality, and then two, living in light of reality. Living with
00:06:43.500
courage, living with compassion, living with wisdom. So that's part of what we're going to
00:06:49.720
talk about in the latter half of this episode, is what do we do? How then should we live, right? How
00:06:55.140
shall we live in light of the reality that the world that God actually made is a world that
00:07:01.920
includes distinctions and distinctions necessarily create disparities what do we do with the fact
00:07:07.700
that there are several nations in our world today where the average iq is 67 or perhaps 70 or 73.4
00:07:18.500
as you'll see from a study that we're going to be sharing today but before we get into all that just
00:07:23.780
as a punch list let's let's go ahead and just go over some of the statistics let's look at some
00:07:29.500
different nations in the world and the average IQ for each of those countries. Wesley, would you
00:07:35.820
oblige us? Well, the gold standard for IQ testing is a book, The Intelligence of Nations, published
00:07:41.060
by Richard Lynn and David Becker in 2019. They went to a number of different countries, all over
00:07:45.340
over 200 of them, using the program for international assessment, trends in mathematics, science study,
00:07:50.280
and progress in international reading literacy studies. And so this is not just somebody who had
00:07:54.720
an idea that I'm going to give someone an SAT test, I'm going to just transcribe and translate
00:08:03.280
I have my degree in neuroscience and psychology.
00:08:07.000
to make sure you're measuring the underlying structure.
00:08:09.340
So from that study, the intelligence of nations,
00:08:20.860
nearest to the equator with an average IQ of 90.
00:08:24.460
You have a couple of different smaller countries.
00:08:27.760
to the east of Madagascar. The third one is Sudan, where you're getting to the level of 78.
00:08:32.780
We'll talk a little bit later about the IQ ranges, what it means to be 80, what it means to be 70.
00:08:37.540
But the average IQ as I measured it in Sudan was 78. Tanzania, 79. Madagascar, 76. Uganda, 76.
00:08:46.280
Kenya, 75. Tanzania, 74. Zimbabwe, 74. Rwanda, 69. Botswana, 69. Zambia, 68. Nigeria,
00:08:58.120
67.8. Keep that in mind. We're going to play a video later. 67.8. Somalia. We've heard a lot
00:09:04.660
about Somalian immigrants. I think it's something like 10% of Somalia, like Somalia, the nationality,
00:09:09.920
now live here in the United States. Average IQ as measured in this 2019 study, 67. Morocco, 67.
00:09:17.480
Mali, 59. South Sudan, 58. Ghana, 58. Guinea, 53. Liberia. This was by slaves that were sent back,
00:09:29.900
Protestant slaves that were sent back to Africa to form a colony. 45 Sierra Leone, 45.
00:09:36.920
Yeah. Another thing that's worth noting real quick from the outset of this episode is that
00:09:43.300
But here in the West, it was held as just an absolute universal belief that below the IQ of 85 was defined as mental retardation.
0.72
00:09:58.360
And that was the standard that was held for a very long time until I believe it was not until the 70s or it might have been the 90s.
00:10:06.520
In 1992, the American Association on Mental Deficiency changed the definition.
00:10:10.460
Right. And part of the reasoning when you look into that and see what was the motive and incentive that inspired this, part of it was how that threshold would affect people's perception of blacks in America was a big part of it and how it would affect their perception of immigrants who were coming from different nations.
00:10:31.100
Like, what do you do as a country if you're saying that by your own medical standards and the standards that you've set, you're essentially saying that anybody who immigrates into the United States from a non-Western country is mentally retarded, right?
0.76
00:10:48.780
Now, again, not universally each and every individual, but generally, right?
0.81
00:10:54.840
There are always exceptions, but we're saying it's generally, meaning more often than not, the reality.
00:10:59.960
True. How do you push mass immigration from non-white Western countries onto America if America, in terms of its medical science, is saying that the average person coming from these non-Western countries is mentally retarded by our own standards, by our own definition?
0.99
00:11:19.320
Well, that's going to be a pretty difficult task.
0.69
00:11:23.780
That's going to be a tall order to get Americans to support mass immigration
0.94
00:11:34.380
How do you say, hey, fellow Americans, we should import in mass mentally retarded people?
1.00
00:11:40.220
Well, it comes to a problem of immigration.
1.00
00:11:42.320
There comes a certain threshold of intelligence where you can't even teach someone
00:11:48.580
Now IQ as a number in and of itself doesn't necessarily tell you they won't be able to do
00:11:53.100
anything, but the military for the longest time has given IQ tests because, I mean, it's the
00:11:57.020
military. It matters who you're putting a gun into the hands of. And they've determined a
00:12:00.880
threshold where they say even in the military, where we have guys that their only job is basically
00:12:05.440
to be cannon fodder, maybe it's engineering to move a sandbag from point A to point B,
00:12:10.080
there comes a point where they're so unreliable, they're so unable to contribute meaningfully
0.63
00:12:14.100
that it's not worth it to actually enlist them.
00:12:17.820
And there was a long time where you could use IQ tests in employment
00:12:21.240
until a landmark case, 1971, Griggs v. Duke Power Company,
00:12:25.580
in which the court determined the disparate impact clause.
00:12:28.620
The disparate impact clause shifts focus from the motives to the effects of the policy.
00:12:33.300
So this decision, Griggs v. Duke Power Company,
00:12:36.620
the decision required employers to prove that tests or educational requirements
00:12:42.680
The precedent broadened civil rights enforcement and employment and influenced later expansions
00:12:50.660
The test has to be relevant to the job, so you're testing them in the realm of engineering.
00:12:55.440
You're testing them in the job of administration, and it can't have disparate impact.
00:13:00.840
In fact, the court actually said, the court emphasized that the goal was to achieve a
00:13:04.640
quality of employment opportunity, but we just don't live in that world.
00:13:08.880
we do not live in a world of equal employment opportunity. I will never have the opportunity
00:13:14.460
to be an engineer at Apple. I'm not smart enough to be an engineer. And there's no test or no
00:13:20.120
lowering of the standard that makes it so that I should work there. And so when you take these
00:13:24.640
tests and say, you can't administer this because you're really not technically testing what they're
00:13:28.580
doing their job for, and you can't administer this test because it disproportionately impacts
00:13:32.720
people. Well, if it disproportionately impacts people, I would want to know, hey, these people
00:13:37.220
aren't cut out for this job they're not cut out for engineering they're not cut out for this
1.00
00:13:40.180
a five foot two woman in the military is not cut out to be on the front lines with 80 pounds of
00:13:45.000
gear and it's not hateful and it's not discriminatory to say so it's reality right yeah
00:13:49.620
and i would think that i'm just i don't know much about that case but i would think the duke power
00:13:54.120
company could probably just design a test that people wouldn't pass that is germane to to the
00:13:58.460
work but but i think to your point about equal opportunity it all comes back down to this concept
00:14:02.900
of egalitarianism. Like, that's at the root of it. And we've talked about this before, but it's
00:14:07.920
just this notion that God made the world in a particular way. And we actually, as people who
00:14:15.280
hate God, we actually don't like that. We want to reverse that to some extent. Not only do we want
00:14:20.620
equal opportunity, but we want to socially construct the equal opportunity. So all of
00:14:26.780
the environmental factors that actually might contribute to someone's disproportionate
00:14:32.280
performance. Maybe it's a stable home. They have two parents in the home. Maybe they have a high
00:14:37.160
income. So we say, okay, what if we gave universal basic income? Or actually, if we can't do that,
00:14:43.000
we should just punish people who have high income. Let's make it negative points on any given
00:14:46.780
evaluation if you come from a family with quote unquote privileges. And so at every turn,
00:14:53.660
it's particular here in America, I think the equal opportunity argument has always just been
00:14:59.640
an argument for equal outcome. And so the communists have had their way, despite actually
00:15:05.300
not winning the Cold War, they've had their way philosophically and ideologically in the West,
00:15:10.540
and we're still suffering from it. It's an absolute plague. I would say it's a plague,
00:15:14.500
certainly on the left, but even on the right, I think there's some implicit presumptions or
00:15:19.260
assumptions about what we should be striving for, whether it be related to male and female.
00:15:25.380
That's probably the most pressing on the right, is this question of, well, should females be
00:15:29.360
pastors, because my liberal inclination, even though I'm quote-unquote conservative, is that
00:15:33.460
they should be able to be pastors, because the distinctions aren't that important. And so the
00:15:37.700
list goes on and on. Even if they're not able in terms of permissibility allowance, we still need
00:15:43.440
to insist that they are able in terms of capability. So even your based conservative, you know,
00:15:50.800
theological minister, right, male minister, he's going to insist, look, the reason why we don't
00:15:56.080
have female pastors at this church is because God's Word says it, and that settles it. And I
00:16:00.720
have the bumper sticker on my car right out there in the parking lot. So God's Word says it, that
00:16:06.140
settles it. And so we're not going to have female pastors because we want to be obedient to the Word
00:16:11.040
of God. Yes and amen. I appreciate that. And God simply doesn't allow it. And this is a rule that
00:16:18.020
He has, and we're going to follow it because we're conservative and we're based. But I want to assure
00:16:22.940
every woman sitting in the sanctuary today. This does not mean that we don't think that you could,
00:16:30.420
in terms of capacity, that you could be pastors. In fact, let me give so many disclaimers. So I
00:16:36.160
made the point, but now I'm going to give 45 minutes of disclaimers so that the point is
00:16:40.860
completely dismantled by the time I'm done with the sermon. In fact, I actually think personally,
00:16:45.600
you know, again, we follow God's rules, but I think not only could women be, are they capable
00:16:50.280
of being pastors. They shouldn't be. And we won't do it because we're going to obey the Bible. But
1.00
00:16:53.920
they could be, in terms of capacity, capability, they could be pastors. In fact, I think they could
00:16:58.460
even be better pastors, right? Because women are innately more nurturing
1.00
00:17:02.320
and compassionate and caring. And let me show you all these verses.
00:17:06.300
Jesus himself describes himself as not a rooster, but a mother, female
0.62
00:17:10.380
mother hen that longs to gather Jerusalem, all the chicks under
00:17:14.340
his wings. And that's a maternal instinct. And what is that? I mean, he's the chief shepherd
0.69
00:17:18.400
after all, 1 Peter chapter 5. And so every under shepherd, a male pastor, is seeking to emulate
00:17:23.900
his example. And what is his example? Well, it's very feminine in many ways. And so not only could
00:17:29.080
women be pastors in terms of, again, capability, but they could probably be even better pastors
00:17:33.920
than men. But we won't do it because hashtag we're based. Yeah, yeah. It becomes this apologizing
0.99
00:17:38.720
for God, for what God has committed in the way that God made the world. It's like, I don't really
00:17:43.240
like it. But yes, the Bible does say. But think about that. What are you doing ultimately? You're
00:17:47.760
impugning the character of god because right because what you're then saying is that god has
00:17:51.620
some rule about women not being pastors but it's capricious it's arbitrary yeah it's random it's
00:17:57.860
baseless um i i remember that that was another thing that i went viral for ali beth stuckey
00:18:03.560
lost her mind uh because i i made an argument i said look it's not just that god doesn't allow
00:18:08.840
women to preach and that he doesn't allow women to serve as elders in the church um the reason
00:18:14.840
for the rule, right? We cannot completely divorce and sever role from design. It's not male and
0.99
00:18:22.940
female roles he assigned them in Genesis. It's male and female natures he designed them. It's
00:18:30.360
not mere assignment, it's designment. I'm a preacher, so I'm going to try to rhyme.
00:18:37.100
But it's God's design. So in other words, the role, the duties, the prescriptions and precepts
00:18:43.200
stem from the design, the nature, right? It's actually ontological. And so when God says that
00:18:49.140
a woman cannot be a pastor, I believe that it's not capricious. I believe that it's not arbitrary,
00:18:54.620
but that God actually has loving reasons behind this and it stems from his design.
00:18:59.080
So I made the argument, I said, it's not just a woman may not be a pastor in terms of permissibility,
1.00
00:19:03.460
but she cannot be a pastor in terms of capability. Meaning I must believe, and I do believe that from
1.00
00:19:09.560
the whole biblical theology there's something innate to the role of pastoral ministry that is
0.78
00:19:15.180
by nature masculine and so a woman is not just um not permitted to do it but she's actually
0.95
00:19:20.560
incapable of doing it or at least incapable of doing it well yep and same thing like just like
0.70
00:19:27.520
the iq haiti thing like same thing went super viral everyone was like oh my gosh i can't believe
0.99
00:19:32.440
he said this and he's calling women stupid well back to our topic at hand iq there are are different
0.95
00:19:38.600
facets and and sectors or realms of iq right there's high verbal iq emotional iq spatial iq
0.98
00:19:47.800
mathematical iq like there are different forms of intelligence and we recognize that so we're not
0.93
00:19:53.300
trying to truncate and just narrow everything down to you're smart or you're dumb right you know
00:19:58.640
or use it as a cudgel right which is always the underlying well there's the hatred perception is
0.73
00:20:03.660
that is why we're apologizing because you will you will assume your liberal sensibilities will
00:20:08.540
assume that by bringing up the distinctions or the disparity that we're necessarily using it as
00:20:13.720
a cudgel to devalue someone or which to be clear i am but but not a cudgel against africa right but
0.72
00:20:22.040
i do want to use this episode as a cudgel to absolutely rub it in the faces not of africans
00:20:26.980
but of white christians who disparaged me for saying that i actually do want to use it against
0.57
00:20:33.380
them go inclusion feels really good it's a really feminine trait and inclusion feels so self-righteous
00:20:38.680
it feels really good to include someone and i mean like well you think about uh recess you know on
00:20:43.780
the playground like well he's in a wheelchair but we're going to include him and i actually do think
00:20:47.960
it's a virtue it's a virtue to help the little child that's a little shorter participate with
00:20:51.700
the other kids it's a virtue when it's recess interpersonally where it's not a virtue right
00:20:57.380
it's a scale issue interpersonally where it's not a virtue to be inclusive is to say we need more
00:21:02.260
pilots that are blind we need more engineers that don't know math there's a point of inclusion
00:21:07.540
where it's really good and right that's good to welcome people but the minute you scale it up and
00:21:12.140
the minute you go to actual serious tasks recess is not serious coloring and making crafts is not
00:21:17.520
serious they're good and they're helpful for kids but they're not serious the minute you get to
00:21:21.100
serious tasks and you take that same idea of inclusion and welcoming and you apply it there
00:21:26.320
it's disastrous and that's that's the irony or go ahead finish i was gonna say and this ties in
00:21:34.060
since World War II. I'm going to read a quote here
00:21:38.320
He said this. Since World War II. That's right,
00:21:56.000
Catholic bishop Richard Williamson, he said this.
0.56
00:21:58.500
The new religion, and that would be the religion
00:22:00.320
we've called it before of holocaustianity is very seductive it's very soft and sweet and sticky and
0.94
00:22:06.100
it's easy to go with it and lose the christian faith you have a new and different faith a happy
0.92
00:22:10.340
clappy faith where everybody's nice and everybody's sweet the only sin that's still left is nazi sin
00:22:16.340
hitler is the devil the six million are the redeemer and that's deadly it's got nothing to
00:22:20.520
do with the christian faith except that it's a clever imitation because you get off switch
00:22:23.820
instead of golgotha and the gas chamber instead of the cross so what he's saying is since world
00:22:28.940
war ii we've had this idea that anybody who draws a hard line anyone who sticks a flag in the sand
00:22:33.880
anyone who says no actually these people don't belong these people aren't capable they're not
00:22:38.640
ready to do this job anyone who holds hard lines like that is a nazi and that's the only sin left
00:22:43.720
and so we need to be welcoming we need to be happy we need to be inclusive it's one big party right
00:22:48.580
and even more specifically than that it's that any hierarchy is necessarily rigid that i can't
00:22:54.220
recognize nuance right and so it's iron it's very ironic you think about the origin of the
00:22:58.940
IQ test it actually was given to children I believe in France when it emerged at the beginning
00:23:03.100
of the 20th century or the 20th century that's right early 1900s and they're using it to test
00:23:08.360
kids who are gifted and conversely to children who need more support so the irony is by getting
00:23:14.800
rid of the standard altogether right it's actually you're doing a disservice to the kids who are
00:23:19.040
struggling because there are certain and certainly with IQ there are certain environmental factors
00:23:23.440
i'm thinking of vocabulary portions uh these children who struggle with the vocabulary portions
00:23:27.760
of an i any given iq test maybe they don't read that much maybe they need to be taught they need
00:23:32.280
to be taught specifically they need a school for children who don't read good or who want to read
00:23:37.620
good and do other things good too yeah um no it's it i i i feel like um what was i gonna say
00:23:46.520
um oh oh okay uh so iq has gone down recently in the last 20 years or so in the west uh are you
00:23:54.600
guys familiar with that yep yep all right let's just say it how much of that do we think is uh
00:23:59.820
due to immigration i every iq test i see of america it's like what kind of american are you
00:24:05.640
talking about right what kind of american hey americans iq has gone down um and it's not
00:24:12.100
correlated whatsoever you know just uh you know but we also did just import we just read out haitia
00:24:17.200
haiti and somalia right how many millions of people have come in think about that 10 percent
00:24:23.860
of the nation the whole country of somalia is here in the united states and we're also supporting
00:24:28.960
uh guatemala haiti tons of their gdp something like 25 percent of it we looked at this in the
00:24:34.120
last episode is just even our exports to them so it's dozens percentage wise coming in and then
00:24:39.660
all of our money going out to them and what a surprise our intelligence has gone down yeah
00:24:43.920
it's funny i'm thinking like our average intelligence is actually probably going down
0.51
00:24:48.200
as we immigrate from these countries and their average is actually probably going up
00:24:52.040
yep um and and that's the thing with communism um or you know or the the uh soft communism
00:25:00.620
aka liberalism um ultimately what it does is it does actually ironically achieve not not totally
00:25:07.720
because nature remains undefeated, but some semblance of equality. But the way that it's
00:25:13.400
done is exactly what you are articulating, Antonio. It's not by raising people up, but it's
00:25:18.220
by suppressing all those who are gifted and talented. It's taking the brightest and the best
00:25:22.900
and pushing them down because now they don't get attention. They don't get challenged. They're
00:25:30.580
neglected. And that's ultimately what we've done is we've just said, because exceptions exist,
00:25:37.020
and they do there are exceptions because exceptions exist um because of the existence
00:25:42.320
of exceptions um there's no such thing as a rule that's what we've done because of the existence
00:25:48.160
of exceptions there's no such thing as a rule you gave like a great um you know analogy a while back
00:25:55.400
a few weeks ago but just saying like do we believe that uh rainforest exists yeah we we do uh can we
00:26:02.820
draw an exact line of where the rain force begins and where it stops like like to where like uh you
00:26:09.900
know if i step one inch to the left um every characteristic of the rain force i will be
00:26:15.900
immersed in completely immersed and if i step one inch to the right i won't find a single species
00:26:21.600
or tree or animal or anything you know indicative of the rain and we'd say no like it's it's it's
00:26:27.380
lines are blurred yeah it's gradients yeah it's gradients um but but the fact that the fact that
00:26:32.540
i could be outside right i could go 20 miles outside of the rainforest but still find this
00:26:37.380
particular tree that is indigenous to this rainforest 20 miles outside of where the lines
0.99
00:26:43.480
have been drawn on a map doesn't mean and therefore there's no rainforest right that's stupid that is
0.99
00:26:50.160
well in in the theme of our episode today retarded that is you know mentally retarded
0.95
00:26:54.920
let's get to this video here that we promised you guys this is his name is bantu diaries and he
0.86
00:27:00.620
actually he seems you'll you'll listen to him talk he's actually really smart and really wants
00:27:05.100
to help the black community i love it a black nationalist helping his people and so he set out
00:27:09.600
some of that research i mentioned earlier he said i'm going to go on this street and i'm going to
00:27:13.320
see if these iq numbers actually hold up are the people in nigeria he's in the capital the biggest
00:27:17.660
city of nigeria do these numbers hold up on the ground with testing let's go ahead and play this
00:27:21.620
video it's four minutes long. It's all about the IQ. They have the lowest IQ in the world. Well
00:27:28.540
what can you do with an IQ of under 60? The average IQ is 75. That's what those who watch my channel
00:27:37.240
especially westerners often comment. It's the IQ. So we decided to go to the streets of Nigeria to
00:27:44.640
conduct our own IQ test. I raised the budget and dispatched my team. Well the findings were
00:27:51.540
very disappointing. Welcome to Bantu Page. It has been reported that Africa has the lowest IQ in the
00:27:57.900
world today. On the streets of Nigeria, we have come to confirm that. We will conduct IQ tests
00:28:04.520
and bring you the numbers. You see, there's something about black people. Whenever a white
0.99
00:28:11.080
person comes up with a report that's negative towards black people, they complain about racism.
0.99
00:28:17.100
Well, lately, I think they hate me more than they're white now.
00:28:20.420
I raised the budget and dispatched my team.
1.00
00:28:28.860
We went to the street of Nigeria and conducted an IQ test.
00:28:32.400
It was so disappointing that I had to take one myself to make sure this thing wasn't that difficult.
00:28:41.040
Our findings did not deviate from the report you find on Google.
00:28:45.480
Welcome to the IQ experience. When you search online you'd find studies claiming that South
0.91
00:28:52.860
Saharan Africans have the lowest IQ in the world. I've seen this report for a long time now. However
00:28:59.460
my western audience and the commentators often insist that IQ is the reason why black Africa
0.96
00:29:06.080
is backward. True to form my team did not fail. They delivered a thorough result and we have the
1.00
00:29:13.520
video evidence to prove it. IQ testing has two formats. William Stern developed the original
00:29:20.960
classical formula based on Alfred Binet's work, the modern version which no longer uses the term
00:29:27.680
meant to rage. Instead, it applies statistical normalization where scores are distributed
00:29:34.000
around a mean with a standard deviation. This method was influenced by the statistical work
00:29:40.980
of David Wexler. I have never wanted Black Africa to be better than when I was going through the
1.00
00:29:47.540
results. Let me explain how we conducted the test and who our candidates were. We set up to the
00:29:53.060
streets of Lagos and we place our tables, computers at malls, high street and popular areas and at
00:29:59.700
random anyone who wants to come we offer them 1000 Naira to sit down and complete the test.
00:30:05.300
In Nigeria financial incentives are often necessary to encourage participation. It's hard
00:30:12.180
to determine whether the monetary reward had a negative or positive effect on the participants
00:30:17.940
which may have invalidated the result. Nevertheless, the candidates appeared to enjoy
00:30:24.340
the experience. Our candidate included a mix of young and old participants,
00:30:30.420
male and female as well as a level student everyone who participated was above 16.
00:30:37.700
Only three percent of the participants scored 102 and another three percent scored over 80
00:30:45.620
and over 90 respectively. The highest group 26% scored 69 followed by the second highest group
00:30:54.820
20 percent scored 76. Disappointingly, 52 percent of participants scored below 70, accounting for
00:31:04.580
half of a candidate. Overall, the average score was 73, while the median was 69. This raises some
00:31:14.500
pertinent questions. How does IQ affect a population's ability to invent, produce,
00:31:20.500
develop or run a country is the iq test really useful iq testing can be useful but its value
00:31:29.080
depends on how and why it is he just gets into there some of the different dimensions of
00:31:34.740
intelligence that we've already covered we play this video not to pick on him and not to pick on
00:31:39.240
the people but to say here is an objective reality and he seems great he seems great he had a great
0.58
00:31:43.680
comment that said as long as black africans continue to not take responsibility to prioritize
0.54
00:31:48.080
a lifestyle that involves partying, that involves all these behaviors that are not learning,
0.88
00:31:52.360
they're going to be looked down on by the rest of the world. He's trying to encourage
00:31:55.400
black Africans and say, man up, go learn, go study, go improve yourself.
00:32:00.440
And what's great about objective metrics too is that even if it's bad news, quote unquote,
00:32:06.480
it's good that you actually have something to look at and say, we need to do better.
00:32:10.860
Rewrite my cancer test. I want it to be negative. But sir, it's positive. I want to see that it's
00:32:14.780
negative. No, you get the diagnosis. And when it comes to, well, how does this flow out? What are
00:32:20.340
the downstream results of this? IQ at its core is pattern recognition. It's pattern recognition in
00:32:25.140
art as far as shapes and symmetry. It's pattern recognition in music, what makes good music. It's
00:32:30.080
pattern recognition in mathematics. It's pattern recognition in language. It's recognizing patterns.
00:32:35.780
And when you're unable to recognize patterns, you're not going to be able to live as well
00:32:39.640
in the world. You can imagine someone that got sick every time they ate wheat. They recognize
00:32:44.080
the pattern and say, hey, I might have an allergy here. I might have celiac disease. They recognize
00:32:48.760
the pattern and say, I should do something about, I should improve my state. And all of these
00:32:53.620
countries, and we'll get into a minute what some of that will come from, and it's benign things
00:32:56.840
like geography and weather. But you think about European countries. Well, they recognize patterns
00:33:01.200
of living. They recognize foods that help people to grow better. They recognize, hey, these different
00:33:06.260
things, by teaching our children this, they do better. By instructing in the Bible, we have less
00:33:10.220
criminals that turn out in the streets. They recognize the patterns and made adjustments to
00:33:14.460
it. But if you simply live a life where here's what happens, happens, what comes to me, comes to
00:33:18.280
me, there's nothing I can do about it, then you're not going to improve your state. You're going to
00:33:21.380
have higher degrees of criminality. And the first step is saying, no, actually, there's a lot of
00:33:25.780
people here that need to learn, that need to be instructed, that need to be helped, and they can
00:33:29.600
make the world better for them if they're willing to accept there's a systematic problem here.
00:33:34.280
Yeah. Real quick, I want to talk about voting. And then I want to talk about, you know,
00:33:39.440
accounting for IQ. Um, in terms of, you know, I've said this multiple times, but I'll say it
00:33:44.340
again. Um, my, you know, what I would do if I was, you know, in charge, which I'm not, but if I ever
00:33:49.780
was, um, I, I want to see, you know, uh, in America, if we have to keep voting, which it
00:33:56.860
seems like we're going to, then I simply want to see, um, the right people voting. So I would have
00:34:03.860
strict requirements. I would want it to be a household vote, representative government all
00:34:07.860
the way down even to the family, molecular, not atomistic. So not raw individualism, but
00:34:13.840
collectives of families. So it would be a male vote, a head of household vote. It'd be fathers,
00:34:19.160
husbands, brothers, uncles voting on behalf of their family. And those individuals, those males
00:34:26.320
would need to be adult males. They would also need to be married, right? They have a stake in the
00:34:30.280
past. They would need to be third generation Americans, not someone who's been here for 15
1.00
00:34:34.820
minutes, not an anchor baby like Vivek Ramaswamy, but somebody who's third generation American on
00:34:39.500
both sides or fifth generation, at least on one side of the family. So they have a stake in the
00:34:43.700
past. They also are married. They have a stake in the future because marriage doesn't always mean
00:34:47.280
children, but it ordinarily does. So there's a stake in the future, stake in the past. They don't
00:34:52.660
have a criminal record. That would be important. They're a net positive taxpaying citizen. There
00:34:58.520
would be some exceptions for that, like a veteran or somebody who served the country and has
00:35:02.540
taking benefits, but they serve the country at great price, great cost to themselves. So they're
00:35:07.620
net positive taxpaying citizen. They don't have a criminal record. They're an adult. They are a
00:35:14.800
male. They're third generation American on both sides of the family, a fifth generation on one,
00:35:19.660
and they're married. In addition, there would maybe be one addition in light of today's episode.
00:35:25.540
I think an IQ test, a simple IQ test, not setting the standard at 120 or something like that, but
00:35:31.560
that you need to have an IQ of at least 85 or 90.
00:35:37.180
If you're going to have a say in the future of the country
00:35:42.120
you should have just at least a basic benchmark of intelligence.
1.00
00:35:48.180
You don't get to drive the car if you are mentally retarded.
1.00
00:35:53.300
And so having a basic IQ test and setting the benchmark
1.00
00:35:57.040
at maybe, I prefer it to be a little bit higher, 90,
00:36:00.940
but reasonable not not setting it's too high um and here's the deal if we did that and the reason
00:36:07.440
why we likely won't is because uh it would affect all people across the board it'd be a universal
00:36:13.800
rule but it would affect people disproportionately um we know this everybody knows this um but what
00:36:20.380
we're doing is in the name of equality uh we're ultimately putting our worst foot forward what
00:36:25.800
we're doing is we're subjugating everyone, uh, to the lowest common denominator. And, uh, and this
00:36:32.460
is absolute, um, foolishness and it's actually unjust. It's actually injustice. So in the spirit
00:36:39.880
of fairness, we've foregone justice and the spirit of fairness, we've foregone justice. Um, and this
00:36:46.160
is actually, it's not just, um, impractical, illogical, but I believe it's actually immoral.
0.99
00:36:52.600
It is immoral to subject mass amounts of your country, especially its native citizens,
00:36:59.680
to bad policies, bad politicians, exorbitant taxes and welfare system and all these kinds of things
00:37:07.220
in the name of equality. Now, in terms of accounting for IQ, there's a lot of things to
00:37:14.860
this. There are some biblical reasons that we've covered in the past and we don't have time to get
00:37:19.500
into today. But just one practical reason, why would sub-Saharan Africa have lower IQ than the
0.94
00:37:29.840
rest of the world? Well, part of it is due to climate. The fact that we are Christians, this
00:37:35.540
is important for Christians to hear, the fact that we are Christians does not mean that we don't
00:37:40.140
believe in adaptation. It doesn't mean that we don't believe in micro evolution. I don't really
00:37:46.700
particularly like the word evolution, not because it's inherently a bad word, but because it's
00:37:52.540
usually used to convey macro evolution. Not that species, you know, adapt and create, you know,
00:37:59.560
some disparity, but it's used to try to convince you that people came from monkeys and that monkeys
00:38:05.020
came from this that came from fish, you know, and the primordial, you know, soup in the beginning
00:38:10.040
of the world. It ultimately replaces God with time. It says what God did by his power, nature
00:38:19.600
did by millions and millions of years. And so I don't like any ideology that ultimately is trying
00:38:24.940
to replace God. I reject that outright. So I am a Christian and I'm a Christian who believes the
00:38:30.760
Bible. So I believe in a relatively young earth, thousands of years rather than millions and
00:38:36.280
millions of years. I believe in a literal six day creation, 24 hour days. I believe these things
00:38:43.000
because the Bible teaches it. But it's ironic to me that so many Christians like myself, Bible
00:38:49.520
believing traditional Christians who have an aversion towards evolution, just like I do,
00:38:56.260
macro evolution, they would look at someone like Ken Ham. If you're not familiar, he's a creation
00:39:02.740
scientist. So he's somebody who holds the same view about the Bible and young earth and those
00:39:07.160
things that I've just articulated. But he's, you know, but he's, he's a scientist and he has,
00:39:12.960
you know, a couple PhDs and is well-versed in these kinds of conversations. And many
00:39:20.040
evangelical Christians, such as myself, look up to him and appreciate him. He has garnered a lot
00:39:27.340
of respect among, you know, biblical Bible-believing traditional Christians. And one of the things
00:39:34.740
that he says is, you know, because if you believe the Bible, then you believe in a worldwide flood.
00:39:39.980
It was not just a localized flood, but it was worldwide. As the Bible teaches, everything that
00:39:44.900
had breath in its lungs perished in this flood. And Noah was only able to bring so many animals
00:39:51.940
with him onto the ark. And so that's kind of the big question that the secular scientists would
00:39:56.740
asked, they'd say the Bible can't be true because it talks about this, you know, worldwide flood and
00:40:01.720
an ark. And the biblical timeline would say that, you know, that this happened, I believe it'd be
00:40:08.200
about, no, I think it's 3,500 years before Jesus, so 5,500 years ago. So in 5,500 years, you're
00:40:15.380
telling me, you know, 5,500 years ago, every living thing with breath in its lungs was wiped
00:40:21.300
off from the face of the earth, and Noah, with an ark as the Bible gives the dimensions, an ark of
00:40:27.120
this size and these metrics that can only fit this many animals, was preserved through the flood,
00:40:33.120
and that from this many species of animals, reasonably what Noah could contain on the ark,
00:40:39.120
we have all the species, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of
00:40:45.240
species that we have today in only a very relatively short period of time, 5,500 years,
00:40:50.540
and the evangelical Bible-believing Christian, again, such as myself, would say yes.
00:40:59.580
well, Noah didn't bring on every species of dog onto the ark.
00:41:08.300
And from those two dogs, canines, we got all the way to chihuahuas and poodles,
00:41:16.040
and the evangelical traditional bible believing christian cheers and says yeah yeah you you tell
00:41:24.540
him ken ham yes the bible is true right every every evangelical christian was sitting on the
00:41:30.620
edge of their seat with bated breath watching the the infamous debate between ken ham and bill nye
00:41:35.620
the science guy and they're all rooting for ken ham and so am i so am i you know i i appreciate
00:41:41.220
can. Here's what I'm getting at. Why do you think all of that adaptation and distinctions
00:41:49.180
occurred with dogs, occurred with cats, occurred with birds, occurred with all these different
00:41:57.380
animal species, and yet 5,500 years now removed from the ark, the eight human beings, Noah,
00:42:06.400
his wife three sons and their wives that no disparities were created with them well dogs
00:42:13.440
are a great example like there are real measurable differences in impulse control ability social
00:42:18.680
cognition like obviously dogs don't speak that they're not to that level intelligence but there
00:42:22.580
is a wide variety and there are certain dogs that are very equipped for certain tasks and other dogs
00:42:27.060
that are really dangerous just as an objective statement of fact and to your point both humans
00:42:32.340
and dogs had a, they're called a bottleneck effects. So when all of a population is shrunk
00:42:36.640
down and there's new kind of founders that then pass on only a select number of adaptations,
00:42:41.360
dogs and humans both had that same event, the flood of Noah, the same amount of time ago.
00:42:45.940
Right. And so we believe, as Bible-believing Christians, that distinctions can emerge
00:42:52.700
over time, not 15 minutes, but also not millions and millions of years, a relatively short period
00:42:59.180
of time, you know, 5,000 years, give or take. And we believe that these distinctions can emerge
00:43:05.440
in every single creature. But for some reason, we're saying that it doesn't happen with people.
00:43:11.840
It does. It does happen with people. Now, accounting for that, why would some people
00:43:16.400
develop in certain ways and other people not, you know, or develop in other ways? Well, part of it
00:43:22.380
is high time preference versus low time preference. The idea to, the mere concept of the future,
00:43:28.280
the mere concept of preparation and planning ahead. People who lived in more cold environments
00:43:35.960
that had a season for growing and harvesting and a season where everything dies in the winter and
00:43:43.440
there is no food or it's very scarce. You have to every year plan ahead for the future. You know
00:43:50.460
that this event is coming and which food will be scarce and you need to be prepared for that event
00:43:57.460
or you and your family line will die the ones who prepare for it they survive and pass down their
00:44:04.120
genes to their descendants the ones who are ill prepared they die off right well what do you think
00:44:11.020
the result would be over generations and generations and generations and generations of
00:44:15.840
people who lived in that kind of environment versus people who live in an environment where
00:44:21.500
literally every day is like the last, right? Where every day is the same. It's hot. It's going to be
00:44:27.700
hot today. It's going to be hot tomorrow. It'll be hot the day after tomorrow. It's going to rain
00:44:30.600
sometimes, but not every day. And sometimes it won't. There's no concept of the future. It's
00:44:36.600
just the now. Well, when I was in university, I took a high level African philosophy course,
00:44:41.020
and there's a Kenyan philosopher, John Mimbiti, and he talked about how in Africa, and this is
00:44:45.100
Columbia University. So these are as politically correct as you get. And he articulated, and we
00:44:49.960
talked about in the class, there's two modes of African time, sasa and zamani. Sasa is the present
00:44:55.260
to maybe very near future, like dinner. You have the present, the moment that you're living in.
00:44:59.500
It's here now. Then you have zamani. That's the past time. Those are the two modes of time. There
00:45:04.020
isn't really a way to speak of a month ago this happened, a year ago this did happen. For most
00:45:08.940
of Africa, it was there's the past and everything that happened happened in the past. And then
0.64
00:45:14.020
there's the now. These are the two modes of time that we think of. This is well documented. It's
00:45:17.760
well understood, nobody denies this, but that has implications for, then those people going to try
00:45:23.160
to participate in Western societies. Can you briefly discuss, I know that it's not politically
00:45:28.500
correct, but you're a big boy and you can do it with nuance and, you know, with grace in your
00:45:35.000
speech, but the concept of the 32nd African. There's a famous, it's a short writing from
00:45:42.960
someone who claims to have done work for a long time in Africa and what he articulated and whether
00:45:48.360
you take it as true or not it is certainly true philosophically too there's simply the present
00:45:52.420
but there's this idea of the 32nd African and the 32nd African is basically when you get to a
00:45:58.740
certain level where you're not thinking about the future and you have low impulse control all you
00:46:02.680
think about is right here in the moment so imagine you did a terrible crime you hurt someone you
00:46:06.240
killed someone you sexually assaulted someone and you didn't didn't possess the cognitive ability
00:46:11.860
to think back a month from then when you're in the courthouse, a year later when you're in jail,
00:46:18.880
you simply have the ability to think now. There's a real sense in which your defense and the defense
00:46:23.320
of others that are around you in the community could be, well, he didn't do it. He's not there
00:46:27.240
at the scene of the crime. I didn't just witness him do it with my own eyes. That was in the past.
00:46:31.320
Why are we blaming him for something that he didn't do? And so if you only have a very temporary
00:46:37.620
outlook on time, which can be brought about by a lack of impulse control, by a lack of
00:46:43.380
time preference, understanding, planning for the future. If you don't have those things,
00:46:47.580
you're going to live so in the moment that you're not going to think about,
00:46:50.780
hey, I could end up in jail for the rest of my life. I could be facing the death penalty.
00:46:55.080
And I mean, even to give an example, this isn't just race specific. There's a family,
00:46:58.960
I believe it's in West Virginia, and it's white folks. And they're so inbred that they're to the
1.00
00:47:03.060
point where they communicate in clicks and grunts. They've lost the ability to speak through so many
00:47:08.840
years of inbreeding. How do you explain the gospel to someone who has no concept of the future?
0.94
00:47:13.660
How do you say that place faith in Jesus now, here, and then in the future, you'll have eternal
00:47:20.000
life? This is actually really difficult. Same thing for African missionaries. They're trying
00:47:23.480
to explain to them, Jesus died for you in the past. You believe in him now. So in the future,
00:47:28.580
you have eternal life. How do you do that? How do you do that to a family that only
00:47:32.580
communicates in grunts and clicks and the point is this all matters and so we want laws that say
0.99
00:47:37.760
you can't sleep with your sister because you could produce terrible things that could happen these
00:47:43.000
people are still made in the image of god but there's severe implications for society implications
0.96
00:47:47.320
for salvation and then the same thing for countries like nigeria what is it that needs to be done to
00:47:52.500
help these people to educate these people to get them on good nutrition that's going to promote
00:47:56.280
good development. It's not hateful. It's actually really, really loving. Yes, absolutely. And as it
00:48:02.800
pertains to us in the West, if there is a group of people that again, generally speaking, not
00:48:09.620
universally, not each and every individual, but generally speaking on average, this group of
00:48:14.920
people is not thinking about future consequences, the future effects. They sever themselves in the
00:48:22.240
present from themselves and whatever actions they might have committed in the past as though
00:48:28.620
it was done by another person, that it's not even them. If you have a people that can be described
00:48:36.620
generally in this way, what would possess a country's leadership to say, we should in mass
00:48:46.840
import this people to live here? How would that be a benefit to the country? I remember
0.98
00:48:54.880
hearing a female politician, of course, it was a woman, and she said that deporting Haitians was a
1.00
00:49:03.340
death sentence. She said, sending them back to Haiti is a death sentence. You're sending them
0.98
00:49:09.940
back to a place, to a country, to a people where there's no hope, there's no future. It's riddled
00:49:17.560
with violence. There's no opportunity. The people there are barbaric. If sending Haitians back to
00:49:24.860
Haiti is a death sentence, then what is it to America to import them here but a death sentence?
0.97
00:49:33.120
So we're saying, well, in the name of compassion, we don't want to sentence these individual Haitians
1.00
00:49:39.920
to death by making them go back to their own native country so we're going to sentence our
1.00
00:49:45.480
own people here in the west to death by importing them in mass here to our country um how how is
0.96
00:49:55.280
that just how is that how is that morally responsible to your own native citizens the
00:50:01.760
people that you have been tasked to serve and to protect so these things matter they matter
00:50:07.600
for Western policy when it comes to immigration, who we allow in, what countries. And the reality
00:50:15.380
is that we had this way of thinking. We had these policies. That's what Hart-Seller,
00:50:22.000
the Hart-Seller Act, destroyed. It was a one-two punch that came on the heels of World War II,
00:50:28.780
never again mentality. Hitler was really, really bad and really, really mean. And we need
0.74
00:50:34.040
inclusivism, we need equity, we need diversity, we need compassion. And so, you know, one of the
00:50:42.040
decisions that was made in the aftermath of World War II was both civil rights and Hart-Celler.
00:50:50.540
Hart-Celler undid the policies regarding immigration that we had previously had as a
00:50:56.640
country that said, well, when it comes to receiving immigrants, we're going to receive them
00:51:01.200
predominantly from these countries countries that are western countries that are majority white
00:51:07.900
countries that we believe are compatible with our country and with our way of life people that will
00:51:13.940
be able to come here and be a net positive to our our country our nation and that are compatible
00:51:20.660
and able to assimilate right those were the policies that we once had and you know in every
1.00
00:51:27.340
single time situation in that fashion was a jewish individual and that was because jews mostly
00:51:33.480
resided in eastern europe and they did not like that immigration policy specifically discluded
00:51:38.320
them they were not as welcomed as western europeans and so they actively and race science
00:51:43.560
was a big part of it so a big part of this was well hey listen people are not biologically or
00:51:48.960
racially inclined to certain patterns of behavior that's all pseudoscience race is not a good
00:51:53.340
determinant for picking people to immigrate. We should go by family. We should go by vocation.
00:51:58.280
We should do all of these other metrics aside from, is this person going to meaningfully
00:52:02.500
contribute to society? And the result of it has been, I mean, we've seen it. Heartseller happens,
00:52:08.200
the percent of America that's Christian, not even just white, Christian goes down because you're
0.97
00:52:12.360
bringing in people that aren't Christian. All of the things that you despise right now, whether it
0.97
00:52:17.140
be abortion, whether it be multiculturalism, whether it be false religions, sending out their calls to
0.97
00:52:22.840
prayer on United States soil. All of those things were downstream of saying, all peoples are equal.
00:52:29.840
Everything's flat. He's just as qualified as that person. It's all downstream of this very
00:52:34.220
egalitarian, flattening impulse, whereas we say, no, there's a hierarchy that's God made. Some
00:52:39.240
people are more compatible. Some people are more assimilable than others, and it's not hateful to
00:52:43.300
say so. Yeah, and I would argue largely, I think, in the mid, like, heart cellars, so mid-20th
00:52:47.800
century a lot of the immigration of the time was was a part of the capitalistic economic engine it
00:52:53.200
wasn't i i think by that time i'm thinking how post-war consensus americans had lost the concept
00:52:57.800
of uh or were losing slowly losing the concept of civilization as more robust than than um i guess
00:53:05.500
peaceful living amongst each other it was like it was to your point joel like i truly think low
00:53:10.000
common denominator is like does this person come well they have a job can i get a can i not kill
0.96
00:53:14.680
them and can they not kill me? And that became sort of the bedrock of, okay, well, then maybe
0.90
00:53:18.900
we can get along. And obviously, it's gotten to the point where we've sort of lost touch with
00:53:23.040
anything that really makes any kind of homogenous, cohesive civilization. But I also wanted to bring
00:53:29.080
up something, going back to the concept of, okay, where does IQ emerge? And thinking about it
00:53:33.600
biblically, I think I want to make two separate points. So I think at the individual level, IQ
00:53:39.060
is certainly something that can be divorced from virtue, personal virtue. So you can have someone
00:53:43.540
who's 160 IQ and actually falls for all sorts of lies because they have this warp, twisted,
0.58
00:53:49.060
unbiblical form of thinking. And then vice versa. I think you can have someone who has a low IQ,
00:53:53.500
but is actually more wise, right? More prudent, if you will. But I do think that there is a
00:54:00.740
connection now moving away from the individual level. I do think there's a really close connection
00:54:05.320
between civilizational virtue. That is, what does our society embody? What do we cherish? What do we
00:54:11.800
hold sacred, what do we inculcate into children, and the performance of IQ. And so this gets into
00:54:16.660
all the concepts about nutrition, concepts about reading and learning and education and what goes
00:54:23.080
into those things. Going back even to the concept of the gospel, I think we often say that the law
00:54:28.480
is a teacher, but I actually think the law is also a teacher in a very practical way, in a way that
00:54:33.280
you wouldn't think in terms of, obviously, moral virtue, but also in the ways of, we talk about
00:54:38.620
time preference, right? So when I'm taught to meditate, when I'm taught to repent, when I'm
00:54:44.360
taught to consider my own salvation, those things actually do require some of these practical tools
00:54:51.860
that we're talking about that obviously play into IQ. So it's like pattern recognition. Can I
00:54:57.260
recognize a pattern of sin in my own life and address it? Can I see it throughout time? Can I
00:55:01.840
visualize it in the abstract and say, okay, I'm going to make these very practical decisions?
00:55:06.320
Like these, these are obviously Christian pattern. I go out for a beer and one beer turns into three
0.52
00:55:10.900
beers and then I end up at 3am doing cocaine. It's a pattern there. Can you recognize it?
00:55:15.860
Yeah. And so that thing, I do believe that biblically speaking, it's just ingrained in
00:55:20.700
the nature and the nature of the world that God made that through time, the practice of those
00:55:26.520
things actually does become native, if you will, to your own biology, to your more than just the
00:55:32.940
civilization, but also just genetically. And so, and we've talked about that before, but I actually
00:55:36.860
wanted to bring up something else just to say, okay, I've talked about this concept at the
00:55:39.980
individual level, virtue, IQ, they're not the same. They can be certainly inversely related.
00:55:44.640
There was a study, I think at the beginning of the 20s, this would have been about 1920. So
00:55:48.980
actually as the concept of IQ emerged, this man, his name is Lewis Terman. He was a psychologist
00:55:54.660
at Stanford University. And he actually conducted probably one of the best longitudinal studies of
00:55:59.680
IQ that we have, which is to say he found the top 1% IQ children and followed them through decades,
00:56:08.360
measuring outcomes, not only in career, but also personally, their personal life, are they married
00:56:13.340
or not married, how many children they have. And in this study, actually, it produces results that
00:56:18.360
I think some of us wouldn't expect. So you take the top 1% IQ, children from the age of, let's say,
00:56:24.780
10 to 16 before IQ is relatively fixed. And you say, okay, they're top 1%. These are like 135 IQ
00:56:31.540
plus children. You would expect proportionately that those 1% IQ children would be in the 1%
00:56:38.260
of outcomes. And that's actually not what happened. So I think it was about 75 to 85%
00:56:42.540
of children who were in the top 1% of IQ under underperformed relative to their IQ rank.
00:56:48.280
And then another 25, I think it's 15 to 25% actually underperformed their own peer rank.
00:56:54.540
And basically, the reason I'm bringing up the study is to say that IQ isn't the end-all, be-all.
00:56:59.580
This is obviously an encouragement for guys like us because we're not geniuses.
00:57:03.140
It's to say that there are other factors at work, persistence being the biggest one, discipline, habits.
00:57:09.640
All of these things are just as important as IQ.
00:57:12.500
It's not only the way that you're gifted, talking about the parable of talents, but actually what you do with the talent.
00:57:17.060
um and and this study is a great example of this of course the of the top one percent of these
00:57:21.720
children in this high income upper middle class area of california some went on to be noble peace
00:57:26.660
prize winners some went on to be the best doctors in the fields others were relatively average they
00:57:31.040
became teachers and um and that was just they had no drive another big one that we we haven't talked
00:57:36.380
about is risk that's a really big one in terms of outcomes some of these children were just anchored
00:57:52.840
You can be a 110 IQ person versus a 130 IQ person.
00:57:56.680
And that person has a way higher risk tolerance
00:58:04.940
It's relevant for obviously our public policies
00:58:08.500
as it relates to immigration, those sorts of things.
00:58:10.280
We need to recognize these realities, but also at the individual level, we can recognize that
00:58:14.520
there's some fluidity in our intelligence. There's certainly crystallized intelligence,
00:58:18.140
that's knowledge and things that you acquire. There's some fluid intelligence that through
00:58:21.920
your childhood, you can develop with the right environment, if you will, stable home, two parents
00:58:26.680
in your home, parents who actually care about your education, so on and so forth.
00:58:30.660
Yeah, nowhere is, you can imagine in your childhood, maybe you were tested and it came
00:58:34.480
back low. You have to distinguish between the individual and the group, private and public,
00:58:39.080
So many things, they're about how does this apply differently to the individual, like we talked about compassion and inclusion.
00:58:45.060
Good on the individual scale, bad on the broader scale.
00:58:48.480
When it comes down to IQ, a number for an individual is never a predictor of their outcome, unless we're talking extremes.
00:58:56.500
There's so much variance like risk and everything.
00:58:58.460
And yet, even with saying, as an individual, it does not necessarily matter what that number on paper is,
00:59:03.480
We can still say, on average, people from countries with lower will not be as much of a benefit to the United States.
0.96
00:59:10.680
You can distinguish and say, individually, this should never be viewed as a death sentence or the other side of things.
00:59:18.940
It's just not able to take all of those factors into account and put them into a number.
00:59:23.580
And yet we can still say, look at the bell curve of Haiti.
0.90
00:59:25.980
Look at the bell curve of Nigeria and say, these people will not be able to navigate driving here.
0.93
00:59:32.240
They won't be able to reliably learn a second language.
00:59:34.600
They won't be reliably able to integrate into jobs like engineering.
00:59:40.320
You can do both, and they're not contradictory.
00:59:44.720
You can't, I mean, we take immigration, for example, and everyone's like, oh, I've got
00:59:47.800
my immigrant friend in my life that I really love and cherish, and they are great contributors
00:59:56.100
But at the public level, we can't literally go to every single person.
01:00:00.120
I mean, I suppose at one point, Ellis Island, you could have, but you can't go to every person who desires to immigrate into the nation and ask them this, ask them a million questions and evaluate their life.
01:00:10.000
At some point, public policy has to be at the level of generalities.
01:00:21.280
We're going to deal with some of the super chats.
01:00:28.720
I'm sitting here recording a commercial, practically spilling out of my chair.
01:00:45.300
The problem is you're fat because you're hungry.
1.00
01:00:47.180
And when you're hungry, you're eating snacks that's a bunch of goy sloth.
0.99
01:00:50.800
There's not a lot of good things in snack form in between meals.
1.00
01:01:00.140
but it's hard to find them at 9.30 in the morning
01:01:08.400
After long searching, I have found, I'm serious,
01:01:17.160
I'll be honest, it's the most feminine coded website
01:01:24.340
get to the beef sticks. Guys, I'm telling you, these beef sticks are wild. You've got teriyaki,

Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Society, real society, has always stood on three magnificent
01:02:20.560
pillars. Caffeine to kick things off, alcohol to smooth the edges, and nicotine, which is the true
01:02:26.880
gentleman's secret weapon. See, in its glory day, nicotine fueled the greatest minds, the boldest
01:02:33.260
leaders, and the quiet legends who simply got the job done. But somewhere along the way, we lost
01:02:40.100
the plot. Effeminacy began to creep in. Men traded their duty for comfort, and now big tobacco sells
01:02:48.040
us nothing but compromise. Knickknack raises the old banner again. This is nicotine elevated,
01:02:56.480
honest, and intentional, manufactured here in the United States by a family-owned company that
01:03:02.460
refuses to compromise. See, Knickknack is a fully dissolvable nicotine lozenge made with just six

0.98
01:03:48.660
all right we're back we've got some super chats i'm going to go ahead and deal with the first
01:03:54.500
couple of them we've got a super chat from max horsewood 77 43 he wrote in and said good article
01:04:01.460
440 hertz uh may be bad but even worse is the death of the baritone the music industry rarely
01:04:08.980
promotes male singers that women cannot imitate he is referencing an article that we recently
01:04:15.240
published on our nxr studio substack in regards to the frequencies of music being changed
01:04:23.900
this is all due to a comment that was made by one of our contributors that we appreciate very much
01:04:30.160
calvin robinson we had him and dale partridge live in the studio with us last week and when
01:04:36.840
he was on the show, we were talking about music and aesthetics, and everybody wants to try to
01:04:43.840
make these things merely, exclusively subjective. And we acknowledge that there are subjective
01:04:49.760
aspects to the arts. But at the same time, beauty is not merely, not entirely in the eye of the
01:04:57.820
beholder. Same thing that we were speaking about in terms of IQ patterns. We can speak of groups
01:05:04.520
and generalities. In general, people will find one particular type of woman more attractive than
01:05:12.200
another type of woman, one form of art more aesthetically pleasing than another form of art,
01:05:18.880
and so too with music. There are certain frequencies that are more pleasant, and there
01:05:23.980
are certain frequencies that are more disruptive and agitating. The point that I made was just
01:05:29.940
talking about church bells being pleasant, as opposed to Islamic calls to prayer, prayer
0.93
01:05:35.920
sirens that are meant to disorient and promote discomfort. They're meant to jolt you.
01:05:43.900
Well, Muhammad hated music. So you don't have something beautiful like music that can ring out
01:05:47.960
even a Middle Eastern type of music. You just have la-la-la-la-la-la.
0.96
01:05:52.700
Yep. So Muhammad hated music. And we would say that music, especially the more pleasant forms of music, is belonging to the true and the good and the beautiful. And so naturally, Muhammad, you know, he hated music because he hated the true, the good and the beautiful. And that checks out, you know, especially in light of the fact that he is the founder of a false religion that goes against that which is true and good and beautiful.
01:06:18.640
So that's the point that I was raising was in regards to church bells and Islamic calls to
0.99
01:06:25.520
prayer, prayer sirens. And then Calvin Robinson, he made the point about the hurts and frequencies
01:06:31.460
of music being changed and what some of the motives and incentives might be behind that.
01:06:37.260
And so anyways, we ended up publishing an article. I had somebody reach out to me personally.
01:06:44.960
Um, it was, uh, there's nothing to hide. It was, uh, Ruslan. And so, uh, some of you guys may be
01:06:50.880
familiar with Ruslan. He is, um, a social media, uh, influencer, Christian, and, uh, he also is
01:06:59.760
a Christian rapper. And so he saw that clip, uh, going semi viral, uh, this last week and, you
01:07:06.520
know, obviously disagrees. Um, you know, he's a Christian rapper. And so he was like, um, I'm
01:07:12.880
going to be talking just want to give you a heads up i'm going to be publicly addressing you know
01:07:16.740
the the 440 hertz you know 232 hertz up to 440 uh that whole you know controversy changing the
01:07:26.040
frequencies of music and i said okay well that's that's fine um you know he's saying i'm gonna
01:07:30.880
oppose you and i said that's fine uh but to be fair um calvin robinson make sure to to name him
01:07:37.580
personally he's the one who made that point um i didn't really have a dog in the fight i wasn't
01:07:42.060
actually aware of that I said my position if you're going to use my name I'm a simple man I
0.95
01:07:46.960
just think that rap sucks I think that oh well this is Christian rap okay well then it's you
0.99
01:07:52.680
know it's Christian music that sucks but yeah I think that rap in general apart from the degenerate
0.99
01:07:59.120
substance and the lyrics just the music itself I think is a a clear deviation and you know step
0.96
01:08:07.860
down from music that we've had in the past. I think that it dulls your senses. Um, I think that
01:08:14.680
it's, it's not lifting you up towards things, uh, the higher things, things that are, uh, heavenly
01:08:20.100
and, um, and yeah. So I think that, uh, rap is just, uh, you know, it's degrading. It's a rap
01:08:26.880
is to music what Jackson Pollock is to, uh, to painting, right? Um, you know, there was a time
01:08:32.480
that we had the Sistine Chapel and then there was a time that we threw blotches of paint against the
01:08:37.400
wall and called it art. You know, there was a time that we had Beethoven and there was a time that
01:08:42.900
we called rap music. And I would simply ask the listener to think of those two time periods and
01:08:49.740
ask the question, which one was better? That's my position. I'm a simple man. I don't know about
01:08:55.180
all these hertz and frequencies and things like that. I'm just a simple man who knows that rap
01:08:59.500
is terrible. So anyways, it was a great article. Check it out on our sub stack, NXR Studio sub
01:09:04.760
stack. The next one, you want to go with this one, Antonio? Yeah, Matthew Skippura sent five dollars
01:09:13.140
and says, making women uncomfortable is required when leading them to Christ, and discipline's
01:09:18.320
required. This proves these churches haven't led a woman to Christ. Yeah, lots of good things are
01:09:25.900
uncomfortable. We talked about the cancer diagnosis, also working out, denying yourself food, coming to
01:09:31.460
Christ and repenting of sin. They're all uncomfortable. That's part of growing, is going
01:09:35.380
through the discomfort in order to reap the reward after. Right. All right. The next super chat comes
01:09:40.640
from someone who does not listen to our show, apparently. B Hunter 2004, he said, please address
01:09:48.240
the question, is Jesus a Jew? Thank you. So we have addressed this question, I believe, in the last
01:09:54.280
two, maybe even three episodes. So I'll try to keep it brief. Was Jesus, is Jesus the promised
01:10:01.800
seed of Abraham? Yes. Is he the descendant of Ishmael or Isaac? Isaac. Is he ultimately of the
01:10:11.020
lineage of all three of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Yes, absolutely. Is he of the
01:10:18.020
line of the tribe of Judah? Yes, he comes from Judah. Is he a Judean? Jew, if we're narrowly
01:10:27.000
interpreting it to mean one from Judea, Judean. No, he was a Galilean. Is he a Jew in the sense
01:10:34.860
of Jew later and its broader definition being synonymous with Hebrews, all Hebrews or all
01:10:41.880
Israelites? Then yes. Is Jesus a true Israelite in whom there is no guile? Yes. The scripture
01:10:50.560
says that plainly. So he is a Hebrew, an Israelite. He is the descendant of Abraham and Isaac and
01:10:58.620
Jacob of the line of the tribe of Judah. Galilean, but still Israelite, Hebrew. And so in all those
01:11:06.160
sense is, yes. The reason why the question, I don't like the question, is because when most
01:11:12.260
people are saying, well, Jesus was a Jew, what they're trying to do is carve out some halfway
01:11:18.000
house for modern Talmudic Jews today. So they're trying to say, yeah, you know, Jews today, modern
01:11:23.980
Jews, they reject Christianity, they reject Christ as the Son of God, they reject Him as the Messiah,
01:11:30.380
but they're still, you know, His people, they're His kin, and that's got to count for something,
01:11:35.580
doesn't it? And so Christians should have a soft spot in their heart for modern Jews today. And
0.55
01:11:42.300
so I don't like it because it's clearly used as propaganda. It's clearly used to continue to get
01:11:51.740
evangelical Christians, especially dispensational Zionist Christians here in the West, predominantly
01:11:58.640
in America to feel some sense of moral obligation to remain the greatest ally of Israel. So is Jesus
01:12:08.540
a Jew? The simple answer is yes. But in which case, this is all I would add to that. I think
0.98
01:12:17.140
the better question is not, is Jesus a Jew? I think the better question would be, is Benjamin
0.60
01:12:21.940
Netanyahu a Jew? Is Ben Shapira a Jew? Is Mark Levin a Jew? Because I would maintain, I would
01:12:33.600
insist that if Mark Levin has a monopoly on Jewishness, then Jesus is not a Jew. That said,
0.50
01:12:44.920
in the technical sense, I would again reiterate Jesus is a Jew, in which case Mark Levin is not.
01:12:54.020
And what I mean by that is religiously, Jesus was not a Talmudic Jew. You have to keep in mind,
01:13:00.520
people, they act as though Christianity is Judaism just with extra steps, right? Or to say it in the
0.95
01:13:07.820
reverse, that Judaism is Christianity just minus the New Testament. That's not true. Talmudic
01:13:13.980
Judaism didn't come into play until the 3rd and 4th century, a couple of hundred years removed
01:13:20.380
from the earthly ministry of Christ. The Mosaic law that Jesus was following, he said, I did not
0.77
01:13:27.400
come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. But this Mosaic law, the old covenant that God had
01:13:33.980
established with Israel that Jesus didn't come to abolish, but fulfill, was very starkly different
01:13:41.920
from Talmudic Judaism that we have today. These are not the same religions. We have
0.58
01:13:48.400
Mosaic Judaism, Mosaic Covenantalism that Jesus did adhere to versus Talmudic Judaism.
0.73
01:13:57.700
Mosaic Judaism, the Judaism of the Bible that was a type and shadow for Christian faith,
01:14:06.380
always meant to be a sign pointing towards the fulfillment, the substance, right? We have the
0.97
01:14:11.720
shadow, Mosaic Judaism, now the substance, Christian faith, Christ. Talmudic Judaism is not
0.98
01:14:19.200
the old minus the new. It is a abject, total perversion and detour from both the new and the
1.00
01:14:28.020
old. It's entirely novel. It's entirely separate. So for the Orthodox Jew today, I would say that
01:14:35.700
in the religious category, because we have to speak in categories, religiously speaking,
01:14:39.820
uh they uh they are not jewish or to say the other way if we're going to say that that is jewish
01:14:46.300
then i would have to say that abraham was not a jew isaac was not a jew jacob was not a jew
0.50
01:14:51.340
judah was not a jew um so if if they are religiously jewish then all the jews of the
01:14:57.780
old testament were not jewish religiously speaking um if we want to say well no we're
01:15:04.340
just talking about ethnicity. We're just talking about biology. Well, if that's the case, then I
01:15:11.060
think that there is some sufficient evidence that Ashkenazi Jews today are not necessarily
01:15:17.740
the direct with an untarnished lineage, perfect descendants of biblical Jews from the Bible,
01:15:26.320
but that they do have a lot of the DNA. So they are descendants, not perfect without any
0.64
01:15:33.940
intermarriage whatsoever, but that they do actually have genetically a decent amount of
01:15:41.080
that DNA. But what I would say is that if that is the case, and I think that it's arguable that it
01:15:47.800
is, I find it suspect that Ashkenazi Jews would have a monopoly on that ethnic lineage. In other
01:16:01.360
afterwards, from the little bit that I've read into the subject, it seems as though there's a
01:16:06.960
fairly scientific, robust case to be made that certain sects of Palestinians, ironically, I don't
0.82
01:16:13.480
think it's ironic at all actually, it makes perfect sense, certain Christian sects of Palestinians
0.72
01:16:19.400
have been genetically tested and their DNA compared with the swabbing of catacombs under
0.71
01:16:28.840
Jerusalem that are predated to be approximately 2,000 years old or older, and had just as high,
01:16:36.500
and in some cases, an even higher match than Ashkenazi Jews. So my point is, if we're talking
01:16:43.040
religiously, in the religious category, if Jesus is a Jew, then Ben Shapiro is not. Or if we want
01:16:49.780
to say that Ben Shapiro is a Jew, then Jesus was not. But you can't have both. And if we're talking
0.93
01:16:55.260
ethnically, if we're talking biologically, blood, well then Jews today, I think, Ashkenazi Jews have
01:17:03.820
a reasonable degree of biological claim of lineage with the biblical Jews of 2,000 years ago. But I
0.80
01:17:13.640
don't believe that they have a monopoly on that claim. I believe that there are other people that
01:17:18.020
would have that claim as well. But for whatever reason, they have been discarded and kept outside
01:17:24.160
of the deal. So that's my answer on whether or not Jesus was a Jew. Could you give it to us one
01:17:30.320
more time? Just quickly. Just quickly. That's all I got. All right. I'll keep going. So Lena
01:17:36.160
Mikulik's North Starfish sent $5 and says, combining the conversations of miscegenation
01:17:42.200
and IQ, what is your recommendation for biracial individuals when it comes to marriage?
0.85
01:17:47.160
my recommendation to biracial individuals would be that they uh have to pick a lane i think that
01:17:54.100
at the end of the day um like calvin you know we were talking about with calvin robinson and
01:17:59.340
antonio you're you're in a similar boat as him but um both of you are half black and half white
01:18:05.100
and uh you know i was talking to calvin do you think you'll ever marry you know and having that
01:18:10.600
conversation and uh and he was you know he's open to it um he's he's not um he's not on principle
01:18:18.180
you know by conviction again you know a celibate or against marriage for life and so that's something
01:18:23.860
that he's open to and i asked him you know who who do you think you would marry would you marry
01:18:28.520
a black woman or would you marry a white woman he said i i identify with um the the anglo-saxon
01:18:37.760
um, you know, British lineage, British heritage. Um, it was my white mother who actually raised me
01:18:46.480
and was attentive to me and caring and loving and nurturing. Um, and I love my country and I love
01:18:53.100
my people. And so that's, that's what I want to continue. And so I would be looking ideally for
01:19:00.160
a Christian, white, British woman, knowing that our children would, in that case, be 75 percent
0.79
01:19:08.460
white, Anglo-Saxon, British, and their children 87.5 percent, and so on and so forth. And I would
01:19:15.720
be kind of, in the big scheme, I would be kind of just a blip in that lineage because of the
01:19:23.120
decision that my mother made. And, you know, but I would be kind of a brief detour and then getting
01:19:29.480
back uh in line and so um race is not nothing but it's also not everything um and i do want
01:19:39.320
to say that um the reason why we talk about it at all is because of providence it's it's time
01:19:46.060
and place right there are timely truths and we're on the heels of decades of um of nefarious
01:19:55.720
egalitarian secular individuals suppressing conversations about race and insisting that
01:20:03.320
it's merely a social construct and that it really doesn't exist at all so on that backdrop in that
01:20:08.560
context because we are christians and truth matters and the reality of the world that god
01:20:13.040
actually made matters we're talking about it if it was the 1850s we probably wouldn't be talking
01:20:19.860
about it you know because it would just kind of be something that's assumed it would be common
01:20:24.880
knowledge. It's because of where we are in God's providence and because this particular conversation
01:20:30.680
and these particular details have been swiped and removed from the entire corpus of literature or
01:20:39.860
suppressed or very hard to find books that have been entirely banned. And so in that context,
01:20:45.340
we feel like it's a worthwhile conversation because there are many, many Christians
01:20:49.180
who have been taught to believe that race is the same as the tooth fairy.
01:21:08.920
We believe that all people have descended from Adam,
01:21:11.100
and then the second time, all people have descended from Noah.
01:21:13.740
But that doesn't mean that there aren't distinctions,
01:21:19.180
It's not just the frame of someone's nose, you know, or the melanin in their skin and the color.
01:21:25.480
But we're saying, no, there actually are distinctions and differences among people.
01:21:37.540
But that being said, I'm glad that the question was raised because it's a worthy disclaimer or caveat to add
01:21:44.900
that when it comes to those who are the product of biracial marriages,
01:21:49.180
who are, you know, half black, half white or half, you know, Latino and half white or whatever it
01:21:55.320
may be. Um, it has never been our position and never will be our position, uh, that these people
0.98
01:22:02.200
are somehow, um, discluded from the beauty and the gift of marriage. Um, so, but what we are saying
01:22:10.320
is that heritage matters, lineage matters, uh, your fathers matter and your children's children
01:22:16.740
matter. And so all those things should be prayerfully taken into consideration.
01:22:21.780
Not as essential. We're not race essentialists. Not as the highest thing. The highest thing would
01:22:26.760
be, as I'm looking for a wife, is this a woman who fears the Lord? Is she a Christian? Does she
0.98
01:22:32.420
love the things of the Lord? That would be first. But then secondarily, after that box has been
01:22:39.040
sufficiently checked to then consider prayerfully and with wisdom to seek counsel of, would marrying
01:22:49.180
this woman and the godly offspring that, Lord willing, that God would provide us with, would
01:22:55.040
this further our heritage and would this continue a lineage that I and God's providence have been
01:23:07.280
placed into, or would it disrupt that lineage? And those are actually pertinent questions. That's
01:23:14.760
not racist to say, I descend from so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so,
01:23:21.860
and I'm proud of the heritage that the Lord has given to me. I want to preserve that. I want to
01:23:28.480
see that continue in my children, in my grandchildren. And this question of who I will marry
01:23:35.080
has a major effect on whether or not that happens. And that's going to be one piece,
01:23:42.120
not the exhaustive question, but that's going to be one question that I consider
01:23:46.720
when looking for a spouse. So yes, if you are the product of an interracial marriage,
01:23:52.340
you are not barred from marriage. Of course not. The Bible explicitly condemns those who would
01:23:58.260
forbid marriage. And so marriage is something that if the Lord has that for you, then that's
01:24:04.400
a wonderful gift and it's for you. Who you marry, the only counsel that I would give outside of,
01:24:10.680
of course, marry in the Lord and find someone who's a Christian, that's first. But then secondly,
01:24:15.780
I would be looking for someone who is culturally compatible, who shares some of the same
01:24:21.980
traditions and loves and values, those kinds of things that you share. And then having determined
01:24:31.200
that, then I would also consider the racial component. Does this person come from, do they
01:24:38.480
have the same heritage, biological heritage and lineage that I'm wanting to preserve or that I
01:24:46.900
see as good, that I celebrate and that I want to promulgate with whatever future children and
01:24:54.560
grandchildren and great-grandchildren that the Lord might give to me. So again, using Calvin
01:24:59.140
Robinson, I just had a conversation with him recently. He would say, I love the British
01:25:06.440
tradition. I see that as my heritage. So I would want to marry a white British woman who first and
01:25:13.940
foremost fears the Lord, who's a Christian, and see our children do the same. And knowing that
01:25:20.580
by the time it gets to my great-grandchildren, that they will be really just even grandchildren
01:25:26.280
in his case, being already, you know, half white, by the time it gets to the second and third
01:25:32.640
generation, they'll be indistinguishable from any, you know, any person of British descent. And I
01:25:41.220
love that culture. I love that heritage. And so that's what I would be seeking to preserve. I
01:25:47.420
think that's how you answer the question. One more time. One more time for us. Don't think it
01:25:52.260
wasn't clear. I'm just kidding. That was a good answer. I would just say a little bit more
01:25:56.920
specifically, because I think the question asked about IQ and being biracial. And I would just
01:26:01.960
encourage you, and I guess all people who are in your boat, don't be autistic about it. You don't
01:26:06.880
need to ask a potential spouse or potential partner what their IQ test is or anything. I think
01:26:12.780
we have God-given inclinations that indicate what we're more or less compatible with. I mean,
01:26:19.000
if you marry a woman who has 150 IQ and you're like 110, you're not going to be very compatible
1.00
01:26:23.420
with her. I think it works when the man is highly more intelligent than the woman. But if you're
0.99
01:26:29.680
kind of like a simple, like work with your hands, good godly man, and you marry someone who just,
01:26:34.460
even if she didn't go to university, you can tell she's really smart. That's when it's difficult
01:26:38.300
because she'll outpace the man as far as understanding. So I think 150 to 100, you could
01:26:43.060
even have those numbers available. I think that one's fine. More intelligent and big gap between
01:26:48.040
the wife and the husband, it can still work, but she would need to recognize, hey, he's going to
0.71
01:26:51.760
get things a little bit slower than me, and I have to submit to him, and that will be harder than it
01:26:55.760
will be on average. Right, and just to be more clear about what I mean by autistic, I mean simply
01:26:59.880
just to say, like, the realities of intelligence disparities, they bear themselves out in just
01:27:05.880
normal interpersonal relationships, so it's not like you need to be pressing on this question,
01:27:10.840
like, this is the single best metric to determine whether or not she is a fit spouse, and that we'll
01:27:15.960
have children who are intelligent and successful it's like you you'll know that you guys are
01:27:20.360
compatible in that oh you get along that you that when you guys talk about something you're talking
01:27:25.560
at the same level in a way that there's mutual understanding so on and so forth so i i would
01:27:29.540
just say don't overthink it uh going back to joel's point you're marrying in the lord you're
01:27:33.360
marrying a christian woman you have liberty here make a wise decision we couldn't tell you
01:27:37.940
specifically what that would look like at the individual level uh maybe it's a black woman
0.98
01:27:41.960
you already have a pre-inclination to a black woman
1.00
01:27:47.100
She's someone who you have a mutual understanding with
01:28:07.240
for anyone who is going to be electing officials.
0.98
01:28:11.960
officials aka it's retarded yeah and yeah retarded that you don't have iq tests it really is for
0.89
01:28:17.800
elected officials yeah so elected officials definitely but also i think voters uh there
0.95
01:28:22.500
should be a basic you know iq test to make sure that they um are not you know mentally retarded
0.89
01:28:29.520
um to be able to vote so he said america should have an iq test mandatory for any elected official
0.88
01:28:35.640
i'm thinking of jasmine crockett right so jasmine crockett from what i can tell i don't i don't know
0.99
01:28:40.880
for sure, but the little things that I've seen, um, she is not fit to serve as an elected official
01:28:46.520
and in the America by God's grace that I hope to see, uh, restored. Um, she also would not be,
0.88
01:28:53.080
uh, qualified to vote, um, on a number of, of bases. Uh, one, because she's a woman too,
1.00
01:29:00.040
because she's retarded. Um, and that's, that's probably enough. Um, so, uh, he said, uh, Jasmine
1.00
01:29:06.680
Crockett you know or Al Green was another example and then he said both of them are from Texas sorry
01:29:11.480
guys yeah Texas um there's a core of Texas that is deeply red conservative dyed in the wool blue
01:29:20.420
collar that is awesome awesome it's just this stable foundation they've been in Texas for
01:29:24.920
generations upon generations I just got done hanging out in Wimberley Wimberley is an awesome
01:29:29.240
place oh yeah dude it's beautiful a lot of the people there are you know salt of the earth of
01:29:34.660
locals outside of calcutta i mean a plano so dallas austin outside of those eras houston
01:29:40.560
you're fine right and that's where those representatives come from right yep absolutely
01:29:45.920
okay last super chat this one was a doozy look at this massive super chat 250 dollars from l.r
01:29:54.180
nichols and they said god bless you all i pray united arab emirates it is still a lot though
01:30:33.480
It's like James Bond at the end of the last Bond movie
01:30:37.960
I'm surprised it wasn't like his entire savings account.
0.96
01:30:42.640
He's like, I can see the nuke coming from Netanyahu
0.72
01:30:45.160
to take my life and make it about the Jews.
0.99
01:30:56.740
We got one more Super Chat over here from Rumble.
01:31:04.140
It took me a while to come around, but I've come to enjoy most of you guys' takes,
01:31:11.780
He said, Also, what is the name of the guy who did the IQ test?
01:31:20.600
All right, Bantu, but please, sir, tell me.
1.00
01:31:26.860
i was thinking i was thinking of the dindu tribe but the dindu tribe ah the dindus uh didn't do
01:31:33.700
nothing um so bantu city's diaries is he a christian uh i don't think so okay and i was
01:31:39.440
correct there are a large diverse grouping of over 400 african ethnic groups in sub-saharan africa
01:31:43.760
who speak the bantu language okay great so uh seems like a great guy though like
01:31:48.720
yeah honestly brag on it and just and i mean that genuinely to brag on this guy bantu for
01:31:53.340
a moment um here you have an african man who is saying my people are suffering and i want to see
0.98
01:32:02.540
them lifted up out of degeneracy poverty um stupidity i like i want to see my people thrive
0.99
01:32:12.520
here's a guy instead of just taking a ticket to a western country and living for himself you know
0.99
01:32:19.240
like i'm gonna i'm gonna move to i'm gonna leave you know kenya or you know hypothetically ghana
01:32:26.040
and i'm gonna move to a western nation and play off of the sympathies of christians who are overly
01:32:32.780
compassionate marry a white you know american woman and enjoy the luxuries of a western life
01:32:38.880
here's a guy who's not doing that here's a guy who's saying my people are my people
01:32:42.820
and uh and i'm with them for better or worse and i'm going to stay and work instead of leave like
01:32:49.440
one of the reasons there's a lot of you know we already talked about a lot of it but part of it
01:32:53.600
is the high time preference low time preference you know the climate and all these kinds of things
01:32:57.440
but part of it also that that i really do feel a sense of of grief um for nations that have
01:33:05.460
suffered immensely is that uh whenever they do have someone who breaks out of the pattern you
01:33:12.560
know who is uniquely gifted and intelligent um the west is like an iq shredder for the third world
01:33:20.900
we extract the best and brightest from every single one of these impoverished nations and
1.00
01:33:28.560
take them away we did oh you've got somebody over there that's promising in kenya and he could stay
1.00
01:33:35.740
and make kenya better no we'll take them we'll take them we'll take like every single one of
1.00
01:33:43.140
the people who who are in the highest bracket for their their african country get extracted
0.98
01:33:51.000
and taken like think about that for a moment if you were if you were somebody who was living
01:33:57.360
in tanzania and you know and it's like we have a an up-and-coming you know promising young man who's
01:34:05.140
you know he's uh blessed our our village with this you know innovation or that and um up and
01:34:12.580
he's on a plane heading for america oh but there's this young girl who really shows and she's heading
01:34:17.720
to america oh and like how how wicked is that you know like that's that's just so wrong so
01:34:25.620
god bless capitalism get that man a job offer in the san francisco bay area and get him making
0.90
01:34:31.320
two hundred thirty thousand dollars a year right and keep africa poor and also replace uh white
0.55
01:34:37.980
people in san francisco right we can uh we can screw over two entire people groups how awesome
0.84
01:34:43.740
is that the best of both worlds you know like we can uh destroy the west and normally we'd have to
01:34:50.200
pick one but there might be a way might be a way capitalism might actually be a way to uh to hurt
01:34:55.920
every nation all at once it's amazing truly amazing so anyways props to this guy uh say his

0.69
01:35:43.240
now i've just got to pull it up he said this until black africans begin to tolerate dissent
0.77
01:35:47.840
accept responsibility and critically examine aspects of their culture that include violence
0.95
01:35:52.540
boisterousness individualism partying and braggadocio we will continue we will struggle
01:35:57.740
to progress we must prioritize education refrain from migrating to europe north america or elsewhere
01:36:03.300
and manage our birth rates otherwise we risk remaining the subject of ridicule on the global
01:36:08.620
stage wow that i think about that like i mean this is a guy who is clearly talented and intelligent
01:36:15.440
um and could get a one-way ticket to some western country might want some white country would take
01:36:23.080
him for sure and he literally not only did he say we need to take responsibility for our faults
0.88
01:36:28.540
stop being boisterous right silence a black woman is speaking but can we at least wait
0.90
01:36:33.720
till the movie's over you know like like stop never know that's a good one uh stop being boisterous
0.96
01:36:39.500
stop being uh partying was one of the things that he listed all these uh braggadocious was one of
01:36:45.520
the things so stop being arrogant stop being loud stop being um degenerate partying all the time
01:36:52.240
these kinds of things um he's but but he could have just said that he was like so we need to
0.79
01:36:57.000
acknowledge the problem acknowledge the cause of the problems notice how he doesn't say uh white
01:37:01.880
oppression and um you know uh uh colonizing you know from the british empire that set us back you
01:37:10.140
know five million years what like he he says it's our problem we need to own it we need to strive to
01:37:16.640
be better but then he he went one step further and said one of the things we also need to do
01:37:21.660
is stop leaving stop stop looking to um to abandon our home and to go somewhere better
01:37:29.160
but like actually stay and work and build and develop. So again, nothing but positive
01:37:35.920
things to say about Bantu City's diaries. Check him out on YouTube. He seems like he's doing great
01:37:43.620
work. If he's not a Christian, I pray that the Lord would save him, that someone would preach
0.99
01:37:47.600
the gospel to him. Everything he listed is exactly what his people need. But the one thing that he's
0.61
01:37:55.560
missing is christ um it's it's got to be christ doing all that so anyways thanks for tuning in
