Totally Worthless People

"This is the essence of hierarchy: those who are talented leaders look out for those below them. Those who use their cleverness to abuse the less clever and the stupid are shirking their duty. Those who use their power to abuse the powerless are shirking their duty. Those who take advantage of or otherwise disregard their inferiors are shirking their duty. If you are given a talent, you are not only expected to make use of it and improve upon it, but you are also expected to use your talent to help those who are lacking." - Elusive Wapiti


I understand the economic arguments: you lose your job in the creative destruction of "capitalism" and another, higher-paying one is created for you. Efficiency and high pay!

But I wonder. The average IQ is 100, which means half the people in this country have IQs of less than 100. They are not going to be retrained for any new jobs. In the past they worked at food-processing plants and steel mills and made good money.

Not any more. These days, they work at fast-food places, and they sure aren't going to make a living wage at them.

Leftists believe IQ is just a social construct and everyone has the capacity to do anything. Good luck with that.

In fact, the way things are going now, anybody with an IQ of less than 100 is going to be totally worthless to the economy. They will get little respect or have much dignity. Actually, it's getting to the point your IQ has to be about 120 to be able to get a decent job. Otherwise you're just throwaway.

It appears that for every point below 120, the more worthless you are, until your IQ gets so low you are completely worthless.

So what to do with such people? For one thing, they'll live their lives on welfare, and fill their days with TV, drugs, drinking, living lives of drama because they have no meaning or purpose or importance to their lives...and the excitement and revenge of crime. Lives, ultimately, of despair, ones which they try to obliterate through drugs and alcohol.

Bread and circuses. We'll end up like the Romans, who had chariot races between fake, made-up teams such as the the Blues, the Greens, the Reds and the Whites. Supporters of each ended up brawling with the others.

Some people know what's going on, but they aren't in the government. Maybe a few.

People who live among the barbarians are going to retreat to their walled fortresses, such as high in the hills above Los Angeles. The rest will end up moving to states with people with shared values.

Mexico takes its poor and stupid and tries to shove them on the U.S. Where are we going shove ours? Perhaps the richer will move to Beverly Hills in Space, like in the movie, Elysium, and gave the world over to everyone else? The rich and the poor, with no one in-between?

At this rate, the middle class is going to mostly evaporate. Of course, this problem will never stand. It never does. Perhaps we'll just be overwhelmed by the stupid, like in Idiocracy.


"...this time Bosnia where more than 150 people were wounded on Friday in the worst civil unrest in the country since the 1992-95 war. The reason: anger over the dire state of domestic politics, the economic collapse and especially the country’s 40% unemployment rate. The Telegraph reports that angry protesters set fire to part of the presidential palace in Sarajevo, as well as government buildings in the capital Sarajevo, Tuzla and Zenica. At least 80 people were injured in Sarajevo and 10 in Zenica, authorities said. There were no immediate casualty figures from Tuzla, where the worst of the fighting was." -Zero Hedge

Some have compared the state of the U.S. to a decaying Rome as portrayed in the ancient novel "Satirycon," which was made into a movie many years ago. There was even an article (I forgot who wrote it) called "American Satirycon." Incidentally, the empire still sted another 400 years after it was written.

Go to a shopping mall, like I did this weekend. We are so f***ed.

White people are withdrawing from the public spaces. They are hoping they can maintain their bubbles in high-priced enclaves, get goods and services through amazon.com, drone/robot package delivery, online learning for their kids, etc.

When there's no place left to withdraw, they'll either start fighting or they'll shut down.

IQ is not a measure of ability, Bob. There are men in that '100 IQ' range that can buy and sell us out of pocket change. There are any number of men in the 130+ range that are nothing more than intellectual derelicts.

Speaking of such ties in with the Anti-Gnostic above, IMHO. The civil liberties and affirmative action meant to enable the rise of the Black man have backfired; instead we have seen the Rise Of The Nigger. Lest I be accused of racism, I only need to point to cities like Detroit, Baltimore and New Orleans. I see race wars looming ahead too.

There's a flipside to this coin.

The same system relegating the sub-110s to wage-slavery, is rejecting the over-130s. If you think for yourself, they have no use for you - they want clever order-followers.

The over-130s are retreating into mercenary money-making. Make a load of cash, and get out. Take no responsibility for society, since society doesn't take responsibility for you.

As individuals, they're ethical people - but they have no hope. No system to belong to. No direction. No leadership.

Mediocrity the modern virtue, where greatness is punished.
