Your book was great, and it dovetailed nicely with my previous reads - Gottfried's series on After Liberalism/Multiculturalism and his book on Strauss.
You're book tied much of what I gleaned from his work together nicely.
Interesting! I actually touched on this in my last substack about prehistory and horror. I suspect that many more archaic hominids who interbred to create modern humans will be discovered in the next few decades.
Brilliantly done Kat, I actually got some ancestral memory chills through this MUTHAFUKR lol!, also congratulations on your book, order it first day in and looking forward to the read once I get home off hitch (oilfield trash) 🫡🐺
Let’s be dead honest… any accelerationist, collapsitarian, or whatever they wish to call themselves wants things to go to hell in a hand basket so they can meet out violence to those they deem deserving. Nobody wants the collapse of society so they can garden in peace and cold poverty. The underlying hope is that when the police surveillance state is gone one can enact justice/revenge wherever they see fit for their benefit. Imagine the England riots recently without the nanny state to crush the natives who were mad their little girls were stabbed. We are fast approaching a point when disenfranchised males will gladly trade an energy grid for the “loicense” to punish those who attack them. Fascinating article Keith. Gonna order your book.
You probably made a typo in this essay. You cannot state both:
"For a non-African person, it is likely that between 10 and 20% of their ancestors are Neanderthal"
AND
" 3-5% of the DNA of aboriginal people of Papua New Guinea, Australia, the Philippines and other nearby islands came from Denisovans. This is more admixture than Eurasian people have with Neanderthals."
Yuropeans have 1-2% of Neaderthal DNA.
Otherwise great essay, I'll order several copies of your book, it makes for a great Christmas present.
Great article! Funny enough I saw the same argument presented by Alexander Macris over a year ago, who talked about why its ok to have innately evil races such as orcs within D&D (he's the creator of a spinoff called ACKS):
He essentially argues the same thing, that we have a shared genetic memory of fighting these horrible creatures, and orcs aren't, in fact, a racist representation of some other culture, but a callback to our brutal fight for survival against something that cannot ever coexist with us.
Another interesting read Keith.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Good luck with the book Keith.
My copy just arrived yesterday.
Nice! Thank you
Great read. The dichotomy between social constructivism and realism will always be powerful talking points and idea catalysts.

This is great. Super interesting.

Thanks!
Very cool thanks Keith keep it up
Brilliant stroll in the grass. Been thinking about Mr. Schopenhauer while going through this. Would be cool if he stopped by for a chat 😉
Had a good fortune to hear E. O. Wilson lecture live back in Missoula, MT in the 1990s.
Cheers.

Weird way of justifying nuking English geezers but do your thing I guess

Tree of Woe wrote about killer Neanderthals a while back:

Yeah, I quoted/linked this in the essay
So ya did
I missed it--apologies
Wood suspiciously ignores his ancestor Neil of the 9 Hostages, the Irish Genghis Khan. Maybe this explains his pro polygamous warlord viewpoint.
wasnt that idea debunked?
I recall hearing about it maybe 20 or 25 years ago whe DA ancestry research was young

Great stuff Keith as ever.
Ok mister (((Keith Woods))), I gave you my shekels, now I'm waiting for my copy to finally become a big boy nationalist like you
