In theoccidentalobserver.net site published eleven days ago the following article writer Brenton Sanderson, of whom we know nothing, which examines some of the ideas of the German philosopher ebags Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) and makes reference to today as the issue of the difference in IQ between races and then on some aspects of the "chosen people", noting that some recent studies cast doubt. In any case it is interesting to endorse the approach, with several references to genetic science, and concluding observations.
Arthur Schopenhauer is widely ebags known as the philosopher of pessimism. The White nationalists certainly have many reasons to be pessimistic these days, and might be tempted to seek solace in the wisdom of a man who undoubtedly possessed one of the greatest ebags minds in history. Schopenhauer, who was an atheist, saw human existence as essentially meaningless and wrong. The life of sentient beings, of which man is the highest form, is one of constantly tinkling appetites that can never be satisfied, and the result is that pain and suffering are inevitable companions of all life. He concluded that the only way to get beyond the suffering of this world is giving up on life and thus suppress appetites constantly attack us, a conclusion he later discovered that they had also reached the Hindus and Buddhists .
It is a testament to the genius of Schopenhauer who, writing many years before the publication of Origin of Species Darwin in 1859, almost a century before geneticists Fritz Lenz, then evolutionary psychologists like J. Philippe Rushton and Richard Lynn arrived the same conclusion, he quoted and differential evolution (although he was unsure of the exact mechanism) to explain the superior civilization of the light-skinned races, which he guessed correctly, sensitivity and intelligence had gained as a result of survival in the harsh climate of the North. Schopenhauer notes that:
"The superior civilization and culture, apart from the ancient Hindus and Egyptians, are found exclusively among the white races; and even in the case of many dark-skinned peoples, ebags the ruling caste or race is clearer than the other skin, and, therefore, evidently immigrated, as is for example the case with the Brahmans, the Incas and the heads of the South Pacific islands. This is because necessity is the mother of invention because those tribes that emigrated early to the north, and there gradually became White, had to develop all their intellectual powers ebags and invent and perfect all the arts in their against the need, hardship and misery, which in their many forms were caused by weather. They had to do this to offset the stinginess of Nature, and it turned its high civilization "[Arthur Schopenhauer, Parega und Paralipomena, Volume 2, Oxford University Press, 1974, pp. 158-59].
Before the rise of anthropology of Franz Boas in the 20s and 30s, almost all Western intellectuals and anthropologists postulated a direct correlation between external racial characteristics and internal psychological traits. The skin color was considered not only as a physical attribute but as an external indicator racial linked to a correlated set of intellectual, political and cultural capabilities. Schopenhauer wrote, of course, at a time when the reality of racial differences was seen as an obvious fact, and this is reflected at various points in his work. For example, by postulating that the higher intellectual powers are often accompanied by a relatively lower tendency toward sociability, he says, "is said to be the most sociable of all human beings are Blacks, who are decidedly inferior intellectually" [ Arthur Schopenhauer, Parega und Paralipomena, Volume 1, Oxford University Press, 1974, p. 331].
This view was largely abandoned after World War II with the rise of Boasian anthropology, which contributed decisively to completely remove evolutionary theory in the social sciences [1]. The Jewish historian Norman Cantor noted that "since 1945, and more intensively since the 60s, all forms of racialist thought were excluded from the rational ebags and enlightened discourse, especially in America, ebags where liberal defenders of civil liberties have racial doctrine intrinsically wrong, bad and not debatable.
