Another good insight video by Professor Dutton, reaffirming that nature >>> nurture. What he didn't say here, but I'm sure he knows well, is that IQ is inversely correlated with criminality, and that there are clear racial differences in IQ. You do the transitive property math.

At 5:16 he says "Criminality is basically a problem that cannot be solved" -- I believe he means "...cannot be solved with policy changes." And I agree with that. In his books and in another video, he talked about how execution for criminals in the past was strongly eugenic, not just in that it disincentivized crime, but that it actively removed criminality genes from the population. There is a free market solution to do that today: https://childfreebc.com/candidates/ - private, voluntary, and strongly EUGENIC. In theory, if we all donate there, we could sterilize the world's entire underclass. I would very much like to see what Professor Dutton thinks about this service.

Nice insights. Another thing to look at is opportunity and deterrence. I’m guessing nobles were less likely to be stopped by local constabulary and subject to fewer and less harsh punishments.

If Dutton wants to risk getting canceled and all that, Gaza is prime laboratory both in this topic and many others... they seem special bunch of people with this liberal pampering and abusing victim status in whole another level. Lot of anecdotal youtube comments aligning same direction + high fertility (fast life strategy) + incentives to use rpgs in drug cartel style to gain glory teenage 15-17 yo men (Which is censored in western media for reasons) + no woman rights in their culture which bubble even in regional context. Danes have apparently made proper stats of them.

Why Im interested in this is that how much every single country pours taxpayer money to feed this area, and then they may come to spread their "culture" in european countries. This seems analogous to what California area is in USA context. Return on investment is negative in this. Granted some sensible people among these, but there are so many that one in 1000 or 10 000 wont cut it(also this is Im afraid symbolic to pretty much all refugee policies europe and UK does in world).

I listened to professional psych evals and other things of crimes (in Finland and other nordics) and rough estimate was some 1% are criminals on genetic grounds, rest can be 5-50% of youth population depending on what punishments and other factors are. Eg genetic reasons in these outliers, be it sexuality, sociopath etc are very marginal but social factors play how well these extreme persons can gather a group around them. They always try but great variance dictates success of it. Police being tough and accurate is one factor.

Yes, I remember when Richard Madeley was caught shoplifting. Surely some people sail close to the wind through desperation though, due to life pressures.

I dont know this case but shockingly the wealthier person is , the more "individualistic" ie societal norms dont touch them seems to apply.... eg they can decide their own rules also in criminal grade. And many admit they shoplift and do crimes even after they upgraded life to high income, all aspects high socioeconomic status and family.... to have kicks, adrenaline, excitement in life basicly.

Would be nice to see our ruling class kill each other off. Of course, they are too pussy to do anything like that. Bring back dueling tbh

They do so by proxy. Think of old royalties.... they have no useful skills, so if they lost to other royal clan, they were killed off. Even if they survived, rotting in prison was tough luck, who would bring food and that.... french novels Id think paint a bit sugarcoated picture of this. Same with military commanders, they surrendered to save their men but knew theyd very likely loose their head. But it was honorable thing to do also in europe, not just in japan. Nowadays that is by proxy via money and wealth. Idk what happened to famous 1500s medici family in Italy/Venice.... some families died off, some still live more or less prosperous among us. Some danish big conglomerate family was uber rich in 1920s but in 3-4 generations all wealth was lost... that seems what Dutton has bypassed in studies too. One person pointed out S&P 500 in US is constantly changing group of companies (very few stay there 10,20 let alone 30 years straight) and thus people leading them, not stagnant, static like it may seem for working class person not looking carefully. Same is with any national exchange top companies. But you might be onto something with true dictators. Though worse than those are puppet leaders in democracies who dont hold any personal risk or responsibility.... resembling medieval top aristocrats who liked to blame king and queen of their mischief while doing all crimes and corruption themselves, causing peasants to revolt semi regularly.

There's a societal bias towards the contrary belief. Though it's understandable as this seems counterintuitive.

One of the researchers Cremieux Recueil cites is Amir Sariaslan. I really recommend reading this interview with him, it's in Swedish: https://kit.se/arkiv/2017/06/16/88686/del-3-tank-om-det-sitter-i-generna/

He actually found what methods work to prevent violent crime committed by people with mental disorder, it's in this article. 30 percent decrease with ADHD medication and 45 percent with antipsychotic medication. But medication is not the methods discussed for decreasing violent crimes.

Another interesting article by another author at Apora in support of this take on poverty and crime, which finds much poorer Italy has a (somewhat) lower murder rate than Denmark and the Netherlands.

Correct. When one lives in a homogenous society, one understands that the rich one is a way more capable, clever, disciplined. So, there is no jealousy. And even the rich one doesn’t care so much about money for money’s sake but more about the good of 5e group. I loved the interview with Jared Taylor and laughed as soon as I saw a picture. Meaning you two in socks. Socks?!!! But I am willing to forgive Taylor anything. Do you know that in Canada Anglo-Saxons have never heard of Enoch Powell? As for the Japanese, yes, that’s the only correct approach. Dear Edward, I have no fear. We will multiply and it’s a war of attrition as well. We may not see it but our kids will. And we need to prepare them for difficult future. Those that survive will be homogenous. That’s the only way to continue. Do or die.
