Evolutionary biologist and Marxist, Richard Lewontin, was credited for conceptually undermining the notion of human races, for a time:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genetic_Diversity:_Lewontin%27s_Fallacy
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lewontin

     The argument, employed by this Marxist, was that the majority of genetic diversity is found between populations, not races, so no justification could be made for continual use of racial categories. As such the argument was incoherent in the face of it, since, it assumed the existence of races to begin the analysis. It found that 85.4 percent of genetic variation is between populations, while 8.3 percent of the variance is between races. All that shows is that there is more genetic variance between individuals that between races, which if true is nothing much to write home about, since individuals are extremely diverse. The argument was criticised by A.  Edwards:

     It is to be expected, when immigration comes up as the number one issue in front of the sacred economy, the globalists get mighty scared and roll out the propaganda thick, as shown here:
  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/20/business/economy/immigration-economic-impact.html

     However, the flood of migrants is not inevitable and is itself a political creation of the existing tyrannical regime. In Europe and the US, criticism of this swamping is beginning to take place, while Australia, well, we just sleep like sheep:

     No, no, I don’t mean this literally, like the Left would, only as a literary metaphor,   I just want to work in the Paul Hogan BBQ  theme:

  http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/the-sexual-politics-of-meat-20130320-2gfx0.html

     The point being made here is that men get together over the BBQing of meat, and that is sexist because anything that men do that feminists don’t like is sexist. Well, the best refutation of this is for men everywhere to get out and have lots of men-dominated BBQs, eating mountains of red meat, entire steers in fact. I will forget about health issues just to see this. Then, maybe men can regain some manhood and fight back against al the nonsense that we write about to warn people, daily.

     Here is another one of those stories indicating that the politically correct system is starting to implode, feeding on its own nonsense:

“Scarlett Johansson’s upcoming movie already has fans talking ... and not in a good way. The “Lost in Translation” actress has signed on to star in “Rub & Tug,” which is being billed as an “American Hustle”–like mob drama. Directed by Rupert Sanders, the film is based on the life of Dante “Tex” Gill (to be played by Johansson), who ran an empire of massage parlors in Pittsburgh’s underground sex industry in the 1970s. While Gill’s gender identity has been described differently in various publications, most believe the crime boss identified as transgender. After news of Johansson’s casting broke Monday, many people expressed frustration on social media that a cisgender performer has once again been hired for a trans role. “Look, I’ve really liked Scarlett Johansson in some of her films, but I think the actor playing a trans man should BE a trans man if at all possible,” one person tweeted, adding that the actress “seems to need to learn that not ALL roles belong to her.” Wrote another, “Scarlett Johansson fancies herself intellectual but she refuses to learn anything.”

     This I found interesting; older Feminist once opposed abortion, seeing abortion as contrary to women’s rights.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_feminism#19th-century_feminists

“Feminist anti-abortion groups say they are continuing the tradition of 19th-century women’s rights activists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Victoria Woodhull, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Alice Paul who considered abortion to be an evil forced upon women by men. The newspaper, The Revolution, published by Susan B. Anthony and Stanton, carried letters, essays and editorials debating many issues of the day, including articles decrying “child murder” and “infanticide.” According to historians A. Kennedy and K. D. Mary, Alice Paul felt that abortion was the “ultimate exploitation of women” and worried about female babies being aborted. Kennedy and Mary also say that Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in the United States, became a doctor because of her passionate hatred for abortion.[16] By way of criticism, however, sociologists Nicole Beisel and Tamara Kay have written that white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) in the US were worried that continued abortions by their kind would endanger their position at the top of society’s hierarchy, especially fearing the influx of Irish Catholics, but also concerned about African Americans, and describe Anthony and Stanton as part of this reactionary racial stance.

     Nearing retirement, I am as cranky as ever, but still delight in the occasional juicy legal story, like when globalists get sued:
  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/07/exclusive-german-opposition-party-files-charges-against-seven-ngos-for-human-trafficking-including-doctors-without-borders/

“The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has filed criminal charges against seven German NGO’s for human trafficking — including Doctors Without Borders. The groups being charged are Against SOS Mediterranee, Sea-Watch, Doctors without Borders Germany, Save The Children Germany, Jugend Rettet (all Berlin), Mission Lifeline (Dresden) and Sea-Eye (Regensburg). The controversial NGOs have come under scrutiny lately for their efforts picking up illegal immigrants off the coast of Libya under the pretense they are “being rescued from drowning” and bringing them to Europe. The Italian government recently announced that they are closing their ports to these “humanitarian” ships in an effort to stop the illegal migration. Malta has since impounded multiple Sea-Watch vessels that are sponsored by the Lutheran Church in Germany using taxpayer funds.”

     The Left in America have now gone in overdrive promoting open borders, as they do in a slightly more restrained fashion in Australia. However, here in the US, we have Mexico virtually engaging in an act of war, declaring that illegals should have open access to the US. Thus, “Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said Tuesday that migrants from all over the world who decide it’s “a necessity” have a “human right” to migrate to the United States. “Soon, very soon, after the victory of our movement, we will defend migrants all over the American continent and the migrants of the world who, by necessity, must abandon their towns to find life in the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during a rally in the Mexican city of Culiacán, eluniversal.com reports. “It’s a human right we will defend,” he added.”

“Imagine you are a caterpillar. You’re sitting down for a nice picnic lunch with your caterpillar buddies in the shade of a eucalyptus tree, munching on the tasty leaves and joking about caterpillar things (“Why did the butterfly get kicked out of the dance? Because it was a mothball! LOLOLOL”), when suddenly, you feel it — a stabbing pain in your stomach. Your whole body starts to quake. You feel heavy inside, like something is trying to break free. Then, something does. One bite at a time, dozens of black larval wasps gnaw their way through your body. Your buddies freak out until they are silenced by the same fate — each one split open by a brood of black alien babies. Needless to say, this is not the picnic you hoped for. Unfortunately for caterpillars, similar incidents happen all over the world, all the time. This is the grim calling card of Microgastrinae, a subfamily of parasitoid wasps that reproduce by injecting their eggs into caterpillars and then allowing their young to literally eat their way through the host bug’s body.

To The Age (11/07/2018)         Your editorial on Britain and the UK ('May walks tightrope amid Brexit chaos', 11/7) correctly identifies a major aspect of the Brexit controversy: 'the electorate is pitted against its own representatives.' It was always doubtful that Theresa May, no matter what declarations she made, would lead in the enactment of a resumption of British sovereign independence. She was a 'remain' advocate in 2016 and she was the recommended successor for leadership of the Conservative Party by outgoing PM David Cameron, also a 'remain' man.

     A truly honourable British parliament would by now have implemented a 'hard' (that is, firm and authentic) Brexit. That it has not happened calls into question the integrity of that institution and is an affront to genuine democracy. Huge numbers of 'little people' and 'ordinary Britons' made a supreme effort in 2016 and overcame a largely biased press and a campaign enjoying superior financial and institutional resources. It will, alas, be very hard for them to succeed a second time; and in the meanwhile May's 'soft' (pseudo) Brexit bleeds their confidence and energies. It's a sad story.

     So, if the “refugees” are all allowed in, and open borders are created, if everyone becomes fluid in their sexuality, and all dead white men literature removed from the  child care centres known as universities – then what? What does the Left do for an encore?

     When I grew up, I never heard about female genital mutilation. Boys were generally circumcised, but the custom was on the way out. Not so today, for female genital mutilation:
  https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/07/08/england-new-female-genital-mutilation-case-every-two-hours-experts-demand-action/

“Around 4,500 new cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) were recorded in England over the last year, more than one every two hours, official data shows. Between April 2017 and March 2018, around 6,200 women and girls who visited a doctor, midwife, or other public health services in England had been exposed to the form of abuse at some point, the National Health Service (NHS) said on Thursday. Some cases had already been recorded, but 4,495 were being logged for the first time since the government made it compulsory for medical practitioners to report cases of FGM in 2015.”

     The latest wisdom from the psychologists is that old people are racists:
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5921739/Older-people-really-racist-Prejudices-grow-feel-anxious-death.html

“Older people are more racist – but it’s not because they are ‘from a different time’. We become more prejudiced as we age because we feel increasingly insecure and anxious about death, psychologists claim.
Scientists said hating a group can bring a sense of belonging and identity to those facing their own mortality because they are able to share that prejudice with others.

The Trumpsters trumpeted too soon, as North Korea is as mean as ever, according to a rant by KCNA, the North Korean news agency:

“It was, however, so regretful to mention what the U.S. side had shown in its attitude and stand at the first DPRK-U.S. high-level talks held on 6 and 7 July. The DPRK [North Korea] side, during the talks, put forward the constructive proposals to seek a balanced implementation of all the provisions of the Joint Statement out of its firm willingness to remain faithful to the implementation of the spirit and agreed points of the DPRK-U.S. summit meeting and talks.

     I have been waiting for feminism to implode since the 1970s. I thought at the time, once feminist demands conflict with corporate capitalism, boy, I mean, girl, then we will see action. Now it is starting to happen, first with the Me Too movement, and then this:
  https://amp.smh.com.au/business/workplace/new-zealand-may-force-private-companies-to-pick-women-directors-20180708-p4zq85.html

“New Zealand’s government is prepared to force private businesses to appoint more women directors if companies don’t make sufficient progress themselves, Minister for Women Julie Anne Genter says. The government said last week that it will ensure half of all directors on state sector boards and committees are women by 2021, compared with 46 per cent at the end of 2017. By comparison, women held just 19 per cent of directorships across the 159 companies listed on the main board of the New Zealand stock exchange, according to a report in January. “We’re awaiting the next report, and I’m keen to see where they get to,” Genter told Television New Zealand’s Q+A program Sunday. “If they’re not going to make progress, if it’s going to sit there at 19 per cent, then we might have to start thinking about ways government can incentivise them. Under Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, the world’s youngest female leader, the government is forging ahead with plans to change the way women are treated in society and allow them to achieve their full potential, including an ambitious goal to eliminate the gender pay gap.”

     University students tend to be liberals or to the Left and certainly as a group support mass immigration and globalisation. It is therefore fitting that they get a taste of the real world of immigration and globalisation. This report is from the US, but is still relevant to the Australian situation:

“College-graduate salaries are barely keeping pace with inflation, but the editor of an influential progressive website says the government should import “drastically” more foreign college-graduates for white-collar jobs in the United States. “We should drastically increase the number of such [visa-] workers who can come — if not eliminate the cap entirely,” said Matt Yglesias, editor of Vox.com Yglesias’ call for a much bigger — or even unlimited — supply of foreign college graduates comes as Americans’ salaries are just creeping ahead of inflation, according to the Conference Board, a nonprofit consulting firm. Annual growth in white-collar salaries is even lagging behind growth in blue-collar wages, according to board’s June 2018 estimate.”

“Bernt Herlitz is being severely punished for trying to reveal the age of fake children. Now he has to pay 425 thousand kronor [$48,500] within 30 days to his former employer Region Gotland – money he does not have. The language of the judgment is harsh and at times activist against Herlitz. Previously, Samhällsnytt revealed that several of the people whom he suggested to the Migration Board were discovered to be adults as a result of medical age tests. Despite this and despite some of them being convicted of gross violent crime, they will stay in Sweden, thanks to the amnesty of the government and the Center Party. Samhällsnytt has previously noted the case of the dental hygienist Bernt Herlitz from Gotland in several articles. Herlitz has responded that several asylum seekers who were registered as unaccompanied children showed a dental development that is more typical for people over 25 years old.

     Mathematics and physics are my passions in life, but I have grave concerns about the survival of basic knowledge, which permits civilisation to continue. In a nutshell, people are becoming so dumbed down, even given technology, which they use like “magic,” that if some sort of collapse occurs, it may not be possible for any sort of speedy rebuilding of advanced knowledge, contrary to thinkers such as Lewis Dartnell, in The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Civilization in the Aftermath of a Cataclysm, (Penguin, New York, 2015). People may not be even able to understand long sentences, like the previous one.
  http://the-knowledge.org/en-gb/the-book/

     Rebuilding the world from first scientific principles will, at some point require a high degree of mathematical knowledge, and I do not believe that Dartnell has considered how difficult it will be to preserve mathematical knowledge. Consider:

     As a cradle Catholic, and now an ex-Catholic, I described myself as abandoned and betrayed by the Church. Almost every week the Third World Pope comes out with a new politically correct announcement to make the elite happy. But, I am not the only one feeling this way:

“Cardinal Gerhard Müller said this week that many bishops today are involved in “a blatant process of Protestantizing” the Catholic Church, leaving many of the faithful confused and disoriented. In a powerful interview published Tuesday in Catholic World Report, the former prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith had particularly strong words for his fellow German bishops. A group of these bishops, led by the president of the German Bishops’ Conference, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, “see themselves as trendsetters of the Catholic Church on the march into modernity,” Müller warned. These German bishops “consider the secularization and de-Christianization of Europe as an irreversible development,” he said, and for this reason have abandoned the “New Evangelization,” since it is in their view “a battle against the objective course of history, resembling Don Quixote’s battle against the windmills.”

     One litmus test of impending social collapse is when core institutions no longer function as they should. When workers begin committing suicide in significant numbers, one knows that there is a problem:
  http://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/389999-american-health-care-workers-are-committing-suicide-in-unprecedented 
  http://collapse.news/2018-06-04-us-health-care-system-collapsing-so-rapidly-that-workers-are-now-committing-suicide.html

“As America focuses on one epidemic — the opioid crisis — another goes entirely ignored. American health-care workers are dying by suicide in unprecedented numbers. Earlier this month, a medical student and a resident at NYU medical school completed suicide less than a week apart. My junior colleague took her life just 11 days before her 35th birthday. I had supervised her as she transitioned into practice from fellowship. She said that the way I said her name foretold if the conversation pointed to a weakness or a strength in her patient assessment. My last sight of her was as she drove off to her new job. Less than six months later, she made a life-ending choice. A scan of her suicide note, asking that I be notified, was emailed to me. I did not show it to anyone. The news of her suicide was announced by an email in the department. We all went about our business, as if suicide by a young colleague is usual. And perhaps, in a way it is. After all, physician suicide — and more broadly health-care worker suicide — is a huge issue in the U.S. In my own experience, I have lost six colleagues to suicide — five physicians and one physician assistant. That does not include the suicides that I have heard about through the whisper network at work.”

“Spyros Galinis, the mayor of Mytilene, the capital of the island of Lesbos, told Greek news outlet Iefimerida, that the people in his city are increasingly concerned about migrants. Galinis said that “Women are afraid to go out of their homes, we keep our children in our houses”. According to the mayor, Lesbos is exhausted of the ongoing dangerous situation with migrants. The people of Lesbos were once represented by the media as the people of solidarity, who even opened their homes to refugees from Syria. But now the situation has completely changed, as the once solidary and tolerant residents of Lesbos are facing the cruel reality of the uncontrolled mass immigration crisis that is inflicting Europe once again. Mr Galinos added: “Our citizens feel abandoned by Greece and by the EU, Greek citizens meanwhile form only one third of the people living on this island”. Earlier , the Médecins Sans Frontières agency warned that Lesbos “has reached a point of eruption “
