The shattered gene

I find difficult to tell when Theodore Beale is lying or not. I propose that when he lies, a larger strategy is at play.

We'll tackle the most-obvious Beale lies first. As to the Apollo missions: they happened, such that nobody has to prove it to Beale. Although just about any skepticism on this particular point is disingenuous, Beale's stands above most. The man was in Fenris Wolf who designed Moon action games in the late 1990s, perhaps not well known today but very popular sellers at the time. Beale, in short, knew full well at that time what really happened in those 1970s missions. Present-day, in this back-half of the 2020s, Beale wants his readers to waste the Clown World's time and to tie their loyalty to Beale himself.

That does not mean that Beale is all about a cult of personality. He sounds sincere on a few points. I believe he really does hate the Clown World - and Jews. I believe I even know how this happens. He is a mirror image of Yamara - or Turtle Island: the more he drives away potential friends in a group, only his enemies in that group will find him.

His Apollo denialism is a feint, to wrap up that para; Beale is lying about lying. So why do it?

The Clown World really does have some problems. Ironically, perhaps, Beale has revived Darwin; or at least devised a new Darwin / Mendel synthesis. Natural-selection alone creates a blob; genetics alone accumulates Mutation. Thus, this long essay devoid of the standard snark. It doesn't read as if Vox Day be trollin'. I'd love to read a counter-argument, if he is.

Davide Piffer may have that counter. Neanders evolved for rote-autism in a difficult and seasonal (hunting) environment, often near-solitary. Africans evolved for group dynamics which needed less brain capacity per person, as long as the larger tribe could retain lore. Tigers versus lions, methinks.

Look how everyone thinks of West Africans today; it's not pretty. As late as 2008 we had Erectus Walks Among Us doubting if the blacks were even human, as a tiger might ponder a pack of encroaching lions. Now we know better.... that people whose fellow humanity we should have been doubting were the Neanders. And maybe by 45kBC (five hundred millennia after they and we split) they dubiously were.

But now we Eurasians and, indeed, Americans like Beale did recombine with these very estranged kinfolk. Thus unfreezing the gene at a crucial time.

One does wonder what Beale would make of the Danes these days, in that light.
