Readers of The Obsidian Files know well that there are a number of “targets” that I like taking shots at, for reasons that by now, should be obvious. I’m basically a good guy, but I fully and freely admit to having something of a sadistic streak. I try to confine my sadistic ways to only whupping up on those who in one way or another attempt to make our world a worser place. I consider OneSTDV such an individual, and every chance I get I make sure to deliver a rhetorical Muay Thai knee to his head.

Yesterday’s post by OneSTDV, advances once again his “utilitarian” argument for society, what I like to call much more simply, the Swiss Army Knife argument. We all know what this is, that famed tool that you had as a youngster growing up. I know I had one as a kid, and have owned one ever since. Its utility is unsurpassed, and can be applied to a whole range of problems and uses. OneSTDV basically applies this reasoning to human beings, where clearly some people are inherently viewed to have more “utility” than others. Moreover, not only should we plainly recognize this, but we should also actively promote this idea. Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself:

“So which group, Native Americans, South Americans, and Africans or Europeans, is best able to utilize the land and natural resources of the Western Hemisphere and Africa? While Jared Diamond might disagree, HBD research, including Lynn’s seminal work on IQ and wealth of nations , tells us ethnic and racial groups will succeed or fail relative to their innate predilections. [This also applies to Asian countries, but they formed largely insular societies during this global colonization.] If we seek to maximize gross utility, and do so by taking into account all peoples, it’s clear that imperialism represents the most moral strategy available for dividing land.”

And:

“Leftists seek a global society where arbitrary borders have little meaning. So why then does imperialism, which is essentially a denunciation of traditional ethnic borders, represent such a dastardly activity? Further, European imperialists created daughter states that provided a boon to their home countries, early settlers, and subsequently, the world at large ( where would Haiti be without America? ). Native Americans, South Americans, and Africans are simply incapable of gross technological and societal advancement . If Europe hadn’t set about colonizing the West, it would have possibly succumbed to overpopulation, disease, or have been stifled due simply to geography. [This may be a current problem for Japan.]“

And:

” Finally, there’s the issue of violence and forced subjugation. I’m going to veer into eccentricity here and contend that the Native Americans and South Americans should have peacefully acquiesced to the demands of the European settlers. By engaging in a peaceful surrender, the conquered peoples may lose some freedom and cultural vigor, but the positive changes derived from increased trade, including medicine or technology, would offset these harmful ramifications. In the end, a conquered peoples loses autonomy, but again, utilitarianism sometimes must ignore emotional desires in order to achieve some greater good.”

Here’s OneSTDV’s “Swiss Army Knife” argument fully presented: http://onestdv.blogspot.com/2010/01/howard-zinn-and-morality-of-imperialism.html

So!-OneSTDV’s argument is quite clear: for the greater good, we simply have to do away with such silly conventions like human rights, or due process, or even individual autonomy. Clearly, some groups of human beings are better than others, and we should stop with all the handwringing over the fact that “lesser” people’s lands were taken because a better use of said land and by extension the indigenous peoples that lived within them, has made not only the world but said peoples, *better*.

OK! I’m game.

So, let’s put his “utilitarian” argument to the acid test. A little while back, in response to his and many other HBDers’ favorite obsession, that of Eugenics, I advanced the following plan to increase the birthrate of Smart White People:

“We now need to increase the number of bright White people. In order to do that, we need to find a way to convince bright White Women, to have babies-and not just one baby around 35 or so, but about 3 babies *by the time they hit 35*-meaning, that they would have to get started a lot sooner than that. More like say, 21, 22 years old?

So here’s how it would go down:

The USA gov’t, at the same time it cracksdown on NAMs, also offers the following to any Bright White Female who applies to an Ivy League or otherwise topflight Big State School:

Take the gov’t sanctioned and mandated IQ Test; if said BWF scores 120 or higher, she is automatically granted to the Ivy League or Big State School of her choice, all expenses paid, from undergrad all the way through PhD-with the provision that she will agree to mate with the Male students the school will have selected and birth no less than three babies, *before the age of 30*, to ensure the babies’ good health and genetic heritage.

As noted above, the Baby Daddies will be selected for the BWFs, on the basis of, first and foremost, their IQ scores. So, Rachel, let’s say, will be introduced shortly after the first quarter of her semester at university-to Jeremy, from the Astrophysics Dept. They’ll meet at one of the state-sponsored, on-campus socials, designed for the specific purpose of bringing smart White, non-Jewish couples together. Jeremy will have already been screened to ensure that he comes from a similar familial and social background like Rachel, and the Guidance/Admissions Officers will run the point in doing this kind of on-campus matchmaking. Rachel will be expected to take a liking to Jeremy, and to begin setting about the business of bringing on the next Bright White Generation. Come semester’s end, the Deans and Trustees fully expect to hear a happy report of Rachel and Jeremy expecting their *first* child.

Of course, the school will cover all medical, pre and postpartum expenses, plus daycare, which will be on-site. Relationship counselors will be available, and of course the happy couple will be mandated to check in with them for the duration they’re at school. And of course, we fully expect the happy couple to marry before they leave school as well.

If any of this sounds too far-fetched to be real, I have two words for you in response: Yao Ming. You all know him, right? One of the stars of the NBA, Ming is the product of a state-sponsored Eugenics program of the Chinese gov’t. His mother and father were the captains of their respective national basketball teams, and the Party Bosses made sure they got together in a very close way-shortly thereafter, not-so-little Yao was born.”

So-it’s crunchtime for Mr. OneSTDV: if he’s really serious about his “utility” argument, then he won’t have any problem whatsoever with my proposal to increase the number of Smart White People, now will he?

Let’s see what he says…;)
