Hello All,
More "red-herrings" arguements and leadiing questions from Ant?
"I’m sure there will be no problem in his providing a link to the recent
accounts for the Pioneer Fund. As full as possible, please."
If you are so interested, please go do your own original "research" to find
out?
Now, back to Lila and Chapter 24 and how the MOQ defines the problem and
possible
solution to fix "The City of Dreadful Night", aka, NYC or the
Calcutta-on-the-Hudson:
The following refers to the "intellectuals" of the 1920's that Pirsig was
talking about
in Chapter 24 of Lila, that have foolishly chosen biological quality over
social quality
values to create a Calcutta-on-the-Hudson, or "City of Dreadful Night", and
"Disaster"
in NYC, and which also applies to many other BIG CITIES of the USA, like
Detroit,
and throughout the "formerly" WESTERN WORLD:
Around the time the 1924 victory was won, however, a disaster was occurring
elsewhere—on the intellectual front. Beginning in the 1920s, the
intellectual and moral high ground in the debate was increasingly claimed by
the anti-restrictionists.
This was made possible largely by the influence of Franz Boas and his school
of anthropology. The Boasians argued that the only differences among human
groups are cultural differences, not biological.
Even in the early 1920s, as I have noted, the restrictionists hesitated to
use arguments based on ethnic superiority and they were forced continually
to deny that this was their rationale. In terms of my hypothesis, I have
argued elsewhere that the Boasian School can be explained in terms of
evolutionary strategy, as merely another of a series of intellectual
movements dominated by Jews and aimed at advancing Jewish interests. These
movements were designed to combat anti-Semitism and to de-legitimize the
ethnic interests of the European majority of the United States.
What we are seeing now is the long term consequence of these movements: The
displacement of the European majority—and an increase in ethnic conflict.
Since the 1965 law opening up immigration on a large scale to all the
peoples of the world, the U.S. has become a cauldron of competing racial and
ethnic interests. Much of the conflict centers immigration and its
consequences, ranging from Muslim women having unveiled photos on their
drivers’ licenses to the survival of Christian symbols in public schools.
This shift to “multiculturalism” has been facilitated by an enormous growth
of immigration from non-European-derived peoples. Many of these immigrants
come from non-Western countries where cultural and ethnic segregation are
the norm. In contemporary America, they are now encouraged by public policy
to retain their own languages and religions, and may well continue to marry
within their group.
The long term result is, inevitably, increased competition and friction
between groups.
The idea that there is no biological reality to race inevitably implies that
there is no such thing as ethnic interests at all. The reality, of course,
is that race does exist and different races and ethnic groups do have
different and often competing interests. And, indeed, from an evolutionary
point of view, ethnic self-interest is not deluded: people have a very large
genetic interest in defending their ethnic group.
Other non-Western countries seem to understand this. For example, despite
what the New York Times says, Japan feels no need to allow a deluge of
non-Japanese immigrants.
It’s time to exculpate the 1924 law—a law that succeeded in its aim of
preserving the ethnic status quo for over 40 years.
The law did indeed represent the ethnic self-interest of its
proponents—albeit not “racism,” if racism is properly understood as
irrational prejudice.
But the anti-restrictionists also had their own ethnic interests at heart.
And their subsequent successful counter-attack has unleashed the far
greater, more savage, and more threatening ethnic competition that we see
today.
