While history is full of many bigoted tribal values that have unfairly prejudiced certain ethnic groups, and while many great qualities of different races and the different sexual lifestyle choices have been belittled, shamed, and persecuted, the aim of the author is not to engage in those kinds of historical attitudes. Rather, the goal here is to infuse you with some red pill wisdom and show you the very real differences that exist between different racial and sexual groups and demonstrate how those traits can be used to everyone’s positive advantage.
Life Is Prejudicial
Let’s say for example that you want to drive the Paris – Dakar rally, a grueling off-road race that lasts two weeks, covering some 1000km per day. Would you choose a Ferrari, a beat up 1980s Volkswagen Golf, or a custom BMW SUV? Are you sure you are not being prejudiced against sports cars or unfairly favoring SUVs?
You are starting a tech company to research new technologies and build a teleporter. Should you hire felons convicted of violent crimes, minimum wage workers who failed high school, women with arts degrees, or MIT Ph.D students? Are you sure you are not unfairly favoring those with a better education?
Your women’s fashion company has a contract with a major Japanese clothing chain and you want to put on a fashion show for the client. To design the clothes would you choose a white Christian woman in her late 60s, a gay Japanese man in his early 30s, or a transsexual from Mexico? Should you use thin, young skinny Japanese models or look for obese males of African American origin? Aren’t your choices sexist and racist and unfairly prejudiced against straight males and those with weight problems, whilst favoring Asian women and homosexuals?
You are opening a new drilling rig in the North Dakota Bakken oil fields. Should you hire strong male roughnecks, only homosexuals, or women from minority ethnic groups?
Market Forces
Wherever there is a decision to make, there will be a prejudice. Any preference that is selected will be inclined to favor the economic performance and bias a positive outcome. If you do not bias your decision towards a positive outcome, you will simply be operating at random. While nature often uses this method initially, what you are doing is ruling out any possibility for intelligence or clustering of talent and qualities.
Why was Apple dominated for so long by white males? White males had the computer skills, the drive and ambition to work all night when necessary, and the cultural identity to push each other along and create the best products they could. Mandating an equal number of women or minority racial groups to be employed in the company is negating the fact that cultural differences lead to different educational and lifestyle choices.
Where a young, single white male will be happy to sit up all night for weeks on end working in a team of programmers rebuilding your source code, a happily married Latin or Asian female in her early 40s with four young children might be less inclined. She wouldn’t want the job in her wildest dreams. Mandating her ethnic and sexual group to be equally represented in the company is about as intelligent as demanding an equal number of Ferraris on the Paris – Dakar rally.
Horses For Courses
Everywhere you look you can find clustering. The sun and the planets are a result of certain atoms and minerals clustering together. You cannot live on Jupiter, not only because it’s too cold, but also because it’s largely composed of oceans of Methane gas. Luckily on Earth our oceans are made of water. Should we mandate an equal amount of methane oceans on earth, so we are not prejudiced against the ways other planets form? Of course not, it’s precisely the clustering of certain qualities that creates the associated end result.
Cultural, educational, sexual, and ethnic differences are humans with a different vibration, just as gold deposits are different to iron ore deposits. Clusters of humans create different outlooks and are better and worse at different things. Choosing ONLY based on sex, skin color, or ethnic background is often not the way to go. However, mandating the skinny nerds play linebacker not only ruins the football team, but also prevents them from becoming the next Bill Gates or Michael Dell. You would, however, be equally as stupid assuming every skinny white guy with glasses is going to be the next tech billionaire, as you would be in trying to force the Latin maid to fill that role.
Natural Progression
Everything in life has a natural progression. You cannot force the bread to bake, it requires X number of minutes in the oven after you have mixed the correct ingredients and allowed the dough to rise. Doing it any other way will not produce the same results. The world is becoming more multicultural, and I don’t see this as a particularly bad thing. It isn’t a particularly good thing either. It’s just a mixing pot of cultures and races coming together, in large part because we have colonized the entire planet and have far more rapid transportation than we used to. It’s during barely 50 years from the last 20,000 that this has occurred.
Women have entered the workplace en-masse in large part because the world is a safer and more technologically advanced place now, but mandating women into universities and careers is no different from mandating them into motherhood and breeding programs as Hitler once did. Women can certainly undertake a great many administrative and office-type roles, at least as well as or better than men, but that doesn’t mean that a company should be monitored and judged to make sure its work force is consistent with some kind of mean average—this would be ignoring the aforementioned clustering we see everywhere in nature.
Trying to break up and water down natural clusters of humans that have proven track records of results is a pointless and absurd venture, something that only a lawyer ruling by decree would undertake. Porsche is predominantly built by white males, so was Apple, so are many successful products. This is because in history white males had the time of day and intelligence to do these things. I’d agree that it’s unfair to block out women and ethnic groups from being involved, but a company must always hire and do what suits its progress, or in time that company will fail.
Do we mandate that all marriages must be interracial, or that all neighborhoods must have equal numbers of all races, forcing people to move districts where necessary? As the world develops, different ethnic groups and different sexual preferences will naturally begin to blend. We can rule out unpleasant name calling and aggressive behaviors as antisocial. We can be friendly to our brothers and sisters whatever their lifestyle, sexual, religious or ethnic backgrounds, skin color, clothing choices etc. What we cannot do is try to force something that will naturally progress and in all likelihood requires another couple of centuries.
You cannot force a toddler to start running. You cannot force your computer to reboot when the operating system has not finished its installation. You cannot drive your car from the workshop elevator when they are still changing the tires. Everything takes time. Rushing things is worse than doing them too slowly.
Growing up I had friends from all over the world—Asians, Africans, Indians. I had a business partner from India another that was Hebrew. I wouldn’t make crass jokes or use their race to drag them down, and I would certainly defend them if anyone tried that on, as I would expect them to defend me against stupid social shaming or slander. That is about as far as it goes, because every race, ethnic group, religious group, and even the geographical location you grow up in has an influence on how you turn out.
Any human resources department and even the local corner store makes prejudiced decisions in its hiring strategies that will benefit its future success in business. If it doesn’t, it might fail. This is where market forces are vastly superior to mandate and legal waffle. Blending is a nice idea, but it takes time and in the long run you will also lose the identity of the individual components. That might prove to be far more of a mistake than simply allowing some natural blending to progress of it’s own accord.
Government always oversteps the mark, with narrow-minded, legalistic theories that in practice prove worse than obsolete. They supposedly do this with the best of intentions, but in large part it is done to keep themselves in a job. No one should have to endure slander and hatred, but we already knew that. We also know that sticks and stones won’t break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Don’t we?
