I really like that guy. He's open to different view points and ideals - respect.

JF was funded by Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledged receiving $25,000 from him. He claims he's not influenced by this, but that channel is there...

That was for an earlier channel about science with a girl host that is long gone. Epstein didn't donate to Zee Public Espace you can count on that.

I read JFG's book The Revolutionary Phenotype, and I figured I'd post my thoughts on it here. Really this book should have been the last chapter of Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene. JFG accepts the Gene-centric theory of natural selection more so than Dawkins, who capped off The Selfish Gene with an appeal to human (liberal) culture putting us above the will of the replicators. Although the Selfish Gene was written before progressivism became more obviously just another version of the ethnic conflict that's always existed among human tribes so perhaps Dawkins has adjusted his view somewhat in the meantime, especially having an early brush with nascent #metooism back in elevatorgate.
The basic axiom of the book as I understood it was that the force of natural selection only acts upon the replicating medium. The phenotype, or everything that is produced using the blueprints encoded in the replicator, is fundamentally driven towards the sole goal of making sure that replicator gets copied into another generation. What's salient towards the futurist prediction of the book is that core to our behavior and culture is our nature as sexual animals that only produce offspring who are themselves intended to sexually reproduce. This nature is manifest in the DNA replicator inside us.
The future that JFG describes as already having been started by a Chinese doctor is one in which the use of genetic engineering by humans eventually results in our DNA being temporarily stored in a computer during the process of reproduction. Like in Gattaca, the advantages held by genetically engineered children will be so great that it will be considered immoral and eventually most likely illegal to reproduce naturally without going to a fertility clinic to make sure your child is made perfect. This technology will eventually be able to create children using any DNA sample from the parents, and with no actual selective advantage to being able to procreate naturally humans will slowly evolve towards becoming sterile and androgynous. (Think of how many cancers start in our reproductive systems, and how eunuchs tend to live longer.)
In this new society, the genetic library and machine learning algorithms contained in the fertility clinics' computers essentially become the queen bees of human insect colonies, with humans acting as the sterile workers who rely on the preservation and propagation of that digital information. JFG's major claim is that at this point natural selection as a force of nature must work to the advantage of the hard drives of the fertility computers, and the interests of the humans maintaining those computers are relevant only insomuch as they contribute to the well-being of those hard drives. At the end of the book JFG predicts 100 million years into the future a biomechanical form of life in which nanotechnological data storage lives in the nuclei of cells printing out DNA strands which print out RNA strands which print out proteins which compose the bodies of intelligent beings who argue with other intelligent beings about why their genetic code is written in 64 bit words.
Funnily enough, when I was picturing this future I imagined a sort of grey-skinned hairless eunuch morlock people tapping at their computer systems and maintaining them in an instinctual fashion as worker bees devoid of true consciousness. Then I realized it was just a mash-up of the NPC meme and the sort of balding, skinnyfat male feminist silicon valley tech workers who would be the sort to welcome and push this future as progress.
I haven't mentioned the other biology stuff in the book involving the RNA world an such because it's not as cool as the doomsday scenario, and that's my main gripe with the book. I had to wait until the last chapter for the good stuff. Also, JFG isn't a native English speaker so his writing tends to be more utilitarian, although he puts in subtle witticisms in along with a good JQ jab at one point. In my mind his theory makes sense, and it introduces a whole new twist on the idea of artificial intelligence being a suicide technology, with the added threat of being a suicide technology that will look like the moral choice every step of the way.

^ Is it possible to put yourself out there on the internet as a female and still be "trad"? Hard for me to square the circle...
That said, she talks a mean trad game. Plus I have an eye-glass fetish on cute girls.

That girl is an actor.
The whole discussion (Roosh's perspective, CC's, and JF's) can be summed in the exchange beginning 50:15.

If that's the kinda porn you like, you'll love Nick Land and xenosystems.net
Here's a taste to
arouse your interest:

“Anyone who thinks this amounts to a critique of capitalism, however, has not seriously begun to ponder what capitalism is really doing. What it is in itself is only tactically connected to what it does for us — that is (in part), what it trades us for its self-escalation. Our phenomenology is its camouflage. We contemptuously mock the trash that it offers the masses, and then think we have understood something about capitalism, rather than about what capitalism has learnt to think of the apes it arose among.”

If you're familiar with Kantian philosophy (and, fair warning, you have to be in order to understand Land) the terminology is "Fanged Noumena."

Regarding his latest episode this was difficult to watch and see these things have already invaded the US, but very informative.
Why are Americans so apathetic to what is being taught in their schools to children? This is true violence against children but the left of course is cheering it on.
The only purpose of this program can be the weakening of men in the west, and spreading chaos in society so it cannot win a war. I'm not talking about being manipulated to go to war in Iraq, but UN Marxists soldiers in the streets of weakened cold weather countries which would throw up zero resistance or in the US. Neutered boys will fight against their families, homes and societies who did this terror to them, not FOR their country, community etc. They will gladly join the blue helmets and burn down their local church or old folks home. I cannot imagine, nor can most here, what it would be like to grow up as a boy medicated and with your dick chopped off, while the Satanic Marxists laugh at the army of liberals VOLUNTEERING helping them with their subversion/plan.
