Here are the five main beliefs:

If the image is hard to read:

1.Just as intelligence, a moral sense, aesthetic appreciation, and other factors place humans above animals, some humans are in a very deep sense better than other humans.

2.Society disproportionately benefits from the scientific and artistic genius of a select few. An important goal of government and public policy is to channel their energies in productive directions and leave them free to pursue their missions.

3.As confirmed by modern behavioral genetics, heredity is the dominant force behind human variation.

4.Egalitarian ideology and concerns over what is called “social justice” are primarily driven by ugly instincts, namely envy and feelings of inferiority.

5.While all rational beings must be utilitarians to some degree, everyone has non-utilitarian commitments. The best ones put an emphasis on beauty, freedom, and progress, rather than pleasing supernatural beings, fealty to some “natural” order, the glorification of imagined communities like nations, or equality of outcomes.

(Every time there is a space between the “#.” and letters it messes with the formatting so I have to eliminate the space, so I apologize if it’s hard to read)

    So is the government going to channel their energies, or leave them free? Mofo can’t even write 5 coherent points.

      In trying to analyze this train of thought, maybe he believes that the government will fund these specific “great minds” and allow them to do whatever because they’re so great. The great minds will have a mission or goal and the government will aid them through funding with no restrictions or regulations. Maybe the government will keep the undesirables in line because they’re not good enough to do what they please.

      It’s hard to really say due to how incoherent their “thoughts” are. They lack detail or proper analysis. Not that they need any since their thought seems to align very well with fascism, I guess they want to rebrand to sound less shitty. But I think they unintentionally showed their ass, that liberals will align with fascists every time.

        I think their thoughts are basically just “waaaah! I want free money for being a special little guy! I’m not a failure due to my own choices and actions, it’s due to society not giving me everything I’ve ever demanded!”
