I have always theorized that in the tech industry, regular
workers, even those that make it to the executive level, are
less Westernized than VC/founder types, due to the latter
selecting specifically for traits such as extrovertedness,
innovativeness, and aggressiveness. Contrast the face shape of

[quote]The Council on Foreign Relations states in its
publisher's blurb for the book that Start-up Nation addresses
the question: "How is it that Israel—a country of 7.1 million
people, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies, in a
constant state of war since its founding, with no natural
resources—produces more start-up companies on a per capita basis
than large, peaceful, and stable nations and regions like Japan,
China, India, Korea, Canada, and all of Europe?"[5] The
Economist notes that Israel now has more high-tech start-ups and
a larger venture capital industry per capita than any other
country in the world. The success of Israel's high-tech sector
over the past two decades has attracted recent attention from
business journalists and The Economist describes Start-up Nation
as the most notable of a "growing pile" of books on the
subject.[6][/quote]
What do you think? Do you agree with this theory, or merely
think it is a coincidence?

The personality type that our enemies admire (and that Western
civilization encourages - note positive correlation with
wealth):
HTML https://vdare.com/articles/remember-the-titan-why-do-super-rich-people-take-such-crazy-risks
[quote]Look at what Rush and Harding said and did before the
trip.
Here is Rush, on the subject of safety and “breaking the rules”:
You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean,
if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. Don’t get in
your car. Don't do anything. At some point, you’re going to take
some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I
can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.
...
Harding was an adrenaline junkie who not only went into space
but also explored Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the
Marianas Trench at 36,000 feet, a Guinness record. “If something
goes wrong, you are not coming back,” he told a reporter of that
voyage [Hamish Harding, an Explorer Who Knew No Bounds, Dies at
58, by Alex Williams, The New York Times, June 22, 2023].
...
even the reasonably wealthy, being high in Extraversion, are big
risk-takers who chase the positive reward of the stimulation and
dopamine hit that risk provides them. Their openness to novelty
makes them feel the same way: It triggers dopamine and
adrenaline [The neuromodulator of exploration: A unifying theory
of the role of dopamine in personality, By Colin DeYoung,
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, November 14, 2013].
A specific study of the super-rich found the relationship even
more pronounced. They are extremely high in openness and
extraversion compared to the general population. Their need for
the stimulation associated with entrepreneurial risk-taking not
only helps them make money but also makes them attracted to
extraordinarily dangerous and superficially-bizarre adventures.
They are also low in agreeableness. That endows them with the
killer instinct that helps them rise to the top of the business
world, yet also suggests they are unlikely to say to themselves,
“I’d best not go this fantastically dangerous jaunt, it might
worry my wife and children.” They are also very low in
neuroticism, so they don’t worry much about the consequences of
their risks [Extroverted, but not neurotic: Here's how the
ultra-wealthy score on personality tests, By Taylor Nicole
Rogers, Business Insider, September 14, 2019].
So, simply from the modal personality type of the super-rich, we
can understand why something as manifestly minacious as a voyage
to the bottom of the sea in a tiny, relatively untested craft
would be attractive.
But here’s even more to their spirit of adventure than that.
They want to “feel alive,” as the old saying goes.
Some evidence shows that we “feel alive” under stress,
particularly in a life-threatening endeavor. Under this kind of
stress, we are in an “evolutionary match” with our own past. For
most of human history, everyone was surrounded by death and
disaster. So when we are exposed to what is known as “mortality
salience” or just extreme stress more generally, evolutionary
instincts kick in.
...
Unfortunately for the Titan’s ill-fated passengers, this desire
to feel “alive” cost them their lives. But their adventure
should not be dismissed as a wasteful, vanity project for people
who have too much money and therefore deserve a bigger tax bill,
as one British-Asian journalist wrote [Boris Johnson hits out at
‘lefties’ questioning Titanic sub trip: ‘They are heroes’,
Independent, June 23, 2023].[/quote]
It should be condemned as a wasteful vanity project for people
who have too much inferior blood and therefore deserve to to
prohibited from reproducing. See also:

[quote]ADHD May Have Improved Survival Of Foragers Who Knew When
To Quit
Once again, human diversity may have been key to humanity’s
rapid success.
Evidence has emerged for the evolutionary benefits of attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in paleolithic times,
potentially explaining its presence today. Indeed, in the study
done, ADHD proved so advantageous it’s fair to ask why not
everyone has it.
The presence of genetic conditions considered to be
disadvantageous has posed a puzzle at least since Darwin. In
some cases, mutations too recent to have been eliminated by
natural selection can be blamed, but the survival of other
traits only makes sense if we acknowledge they come with
survival-enhancing factors. These may be less obvious than the
drawbacks, but can be just as real.
Conditions like sickle cell anemia, for example, have long been
recognized as a side-effect of survival enhancers, in that case,
partial protection against malaria for carriers. Now,
neurodiversity is starting to be considered in the same way.
It's been proposed that ADHD may help stop foragers from wasting
their time on fruitless searches, and now a team have found a
way to test the idea.
University of Pennsylvania researchers had volunteers play a
foraging game and perform a task seeking as many online berries
as they could find within eight minutes on a virtual bush. After
finding the most obvious fruit, participants had the choice of
staying on the same bush or migrating to another one. The
declining resource richness had to be weighed against the
“travel” time to a new bush.
Participants were not clinically tested, but were asked to
self-assess on a well-established ADHD survey. A remarkable 45
percent met the level considered indicative of ADHD, far above
the level in the population. Whether this was because the way
participants were recruited caused more people with ADHD
symtpoms to sign up, or because the test was done during the
pandemic when ADHD symptoms rose even among people not normally
affected, is unknown.
Whether they had ADHD symptoms or not, everyone in the trial was
more likely to move patches when the travel time to the
alternative was shorter. Any other outcome would indicate
something badly wrong with the test or make one wonder how
humanity survived at all.
Almost as predictably, people with ADHD symptoms were more
likely to choose to abandon their bush than neurotypical people.
Interestingly, participants on average stayed longer in the
familiar patch, despite declining rewards, than mathematical
models predict would be ideal. As a result, people with ADHD
symptoms got 16 percent more berries, although even they stuck
around longer than would have been perfect for the conditions.
This raises the possibility the game does not accurately reflect
the conditions in which humans evolve – for example by not
taking into account the energy required to journey between
bushes.
Nevertheless, it makes clear that under certain circumstances
it’s a good thing to not be quite so stuck on a task.
“Our findings suggest that ADHD attributes may confer foraging
advantages in some environments and invite the possibility that
this condition may reflect an adaptation favoring exploration
over exploitation,” the study’s authors report.
If ADHD was a universal winner for our ancestors, we would
expect almost everyone to have it. Moreover, the authors note
that hundreds of species’ approaches to such tasks have been
tested, and all show similar patterns as to when to abandon a
familiar, but declining, patch for pastures new. Something in
our past must be driving most people to stay at the same bush in
this game longer than would be ideal.
Whether this is because most foraging tasks were not like the
one the game portrays, with greater penalties for moving too
soon, or because perseverance was more useful at other tasks, is
unclear.
Either way, it is likely our ancestors benefited from the
neurodiversity within local populations. With some conditions
favoring those with the symptoms we now call ADHD, and some
favoring those without, tribes did best when they had a mixed
population. Individual survival was as affected by the fitness
of the tribe as the individual, so a diversity of mental
approaches became fixed in the population, with some only
becoming labeled a disorder much more recently.
A similar idea was recently proposed for developmental dyslexia,
suggesting having a few people who preferred to explore new
environments over efficient exploitation of familiar ones may
have been key to survival in changing times.

ADHD is also a gatheroid (forager) trait BTW:

The girl I was talking about in the other thread seemed to
display ADHD esque traits (monopolizing the conversation (more
talking and less listening), abruptly ending our conversation
without notice and starting a conversation with another person
(this could be a sign of social climbing)). In reality, her
"introvertedness" seemed to be a consequence of her physique and
stature, which made it difficult for her to socialize with ease
due to being perceived as small and insignificant, but (as her
face shape suggests) she is more extroverted and actually wants
to socialize with a lot of people (especially "Whites"). In this
regard I would say she is similar to incels.
BTW, I hold special contempt for social climbers in the
workplace, as they have an unfair disadvantage over those
perform their work better but are not social climbers.

advantageous as it used to be (perhaps because America has
somewhat De Westernized thanks to the counterculture?).

Jews, high caste Indians, and Fancy Asians are literally just
culturally and genetically better suited to the current
environment than we are. They have a patience and perpetuity
that we can mimic but never match.
[/Quote]
We have previously discussed how Jews are able to suppress their
restlessness, perhaps because their involvement in occupations
involving finance (where restlessness would be disadvantageous)
has selected for this trait.
As for "high caste" Indians, we know (see Aryan diffusion part 3
confirmed) that many "high castes" (e.g. South Brahmins) only
have a marginal amount of increased Turanian blood. If anything,
they in fact have more Aryan blood than the "lower castes" (most
Sramanic adjacent Hindu sects were started by South Brahmins,
and many Buddhist monks were also South Brahmins). This is why
"high caste" Indians are called "uninnovative", despite high IQ
test scores and success in technical fields.
The same with "Fancy Asians"; despite high IQ test scores, they
do not have the same creativity as "Whites", which is why they
are called "bugmen".
Stuff like this is a huge "white pill" (putting incel
terminology in quotes) moment, as it shows to me that in some
ways the odds are in our favor. "Asians" should be using this
opportunity to cash in and influence politics to destroy Western
Civilization. But alas, I doubt many have the will for that..

My theory is that Whites don't generally have this restlessness,
but certain tribes or ethnic groups within the broader race
certainly do. They seek new frontiers and move on as it reaches
civilization status and loses it's frontier lustre.[/quote]
And this is why "Whites" are a problem.
