To Professor Don Atkin from an electrician.

What you wrote was a rambling, philosophical "essay" which asked 11 questions in 1200 words, and did not answer any of them. It was an amorphous article full of unanswered questions and implications, which may impress academics, but which is sort of crap which absolutely infuriates working class people such as myself. Even your reply to me was a cop out. You said that you agreed with some of the things I said, but naturally, you did not want to say what they were.

Now as an academic, I know you have to watch your step lest you fall foul of the commissars in Committee of Public Safety (whoops, I mean the Human Rights mob). After all, you don't want to end up like James Watson, sacked from the Human Genome Project which he headed, because he had the temerity to tell the truth about race and intelligence. After all, if the Red Guards at your university can scream down Bettina Arndt for having the temerity to claim that there is no rape culture at universities, imagine what they would do to you if you did a Watson and spoke plainly?

So the plain truth has to be spoken by electricians like me, because socially elevated academics like yourself are too frightened to put their careers and their privileged positions in society in front of the truth.

Any person with an objective mind can see connections within poverty that are at odds with the socialist worldview. The biggest factor in poverty (and crime) is intelligence. Smart people are upwardly mobile and dumb people are either downwardly mobile or at least stagnant in their "disadvantaged" social position. Dumb people commit serious crimes and get caught. Dumb people routinely smoke and drink and take drugs and get preggers when they are 14. Dump people live on the dole forever and don't take care of their health or their teeth.

Even a dumb electrician like me can see that there is a clear causal link between IQ, ethnicity, culture and poverty

Again, you miss the point.
Don Aitkin,
No he doesn't. One can't miss a point in a pointless argument ! I say pointless because bringing up the subject of poverty without offering ideas for a possible solution is well, pointless.
Were there more people in the welfare industry who actually cared about their work, poverty would reduce by 50% just from that alone. The other 50% would escape poverty if our politicians & bureaucrats had an ounce of economic management to change the present unworkable legislations causing much of poverty.
All it really needs is people in Authority who care & force the rest to care also !

Lego, I don't trade in insults. I am nearly 82, and well and truly retired. No more from me.

Unfortunately Lego and Don highlight the fact that the average person has lost all faith in the integrity in all institutions. Whether it be the Catholic church, the gw cult backed by all uni's (except for brave individuals like Ridley). Just about all unis are now into gender engineering studies and anyone with an interest in true biology might as well stay home. Schools continue to make kids dumber even know record amounts of money is spent on education. Independent thinking is labelled hate speech, ignorant, uniformed while group think gets the funding, promotions and status.

Runner, all you say is true.
As individuals I find it frustrating that we can do nothing to correct these very serious situations which are the foundations of our very ruination.
Singular people such as us who continually voice these dangers at every opportunity, such as forums like this or public gatherings, are somewhat restricted and frustrated, as I often feel, because I see no viable way of 'spreading the word'.
By this I mean 'spreading the word' about how vial and divisive Political Correctness is.
PC must be stopped, at all costs, before it costs us our very well being.
Another major negative influence on us is 'giving credibility to children'.
How the hell did this happen?
When did we start taking advice from children?
In case certain people have forgotten, uni students ARE CHILDREN!
Now let's just stop, take a deep breath and take stock of the facts/situation, but most importantly, let's take back CONTROL of the situation.
Firstly let's stop asking children for their opinions.
Secondly, let's stop listening to them if they persist (rally) in giving or forcing their opinions.
Remember, they are CHILDREN!
This has come about because of social failures of the adults, (parents) who have become lazy and want to be 'friends' with their children.
The insane and moronic push by women to imagine they can be man's equal, by lying to their daughters in giving them false hopes that 'they can be whatever they want'.
The reason we are in this state of social turmoil is largely due to the fact we started listening to children because of virtue signalling or virtue shaming.
Not wanting to speak the truth because it will generate hate and ill feelings that will compromise your position or standing, both socially and/or professionally.
All because you dare question or hold a view other than the what the children do.
Runner you know you are right.
To deny you is to give in.
To give in is not an option.
I for one must keep pushing these 'facts' so at least 'I' know I'm doing the right thing.
