Jake refers to James Watson, an American geneticist and molecular biologist who won a Nobel Prize for discovering the double-helix structure of DNA (the three-dimensional, twisted-ladder shape) in 1953.
But the same scientific community who showered him with praise later shunned Watson and stripped him of his academic honours, after he repeatedly stated that human intelligence is heavily dictated by genetics, particularly along racial lines.
This is interesting for two reasons, firstly because Watson was obviously shunned due to his findings totally disproving human racial equality on the basis of DNA.
But secondly, since itâs in our nature to âbreed upâ (if we can) it explains why those of us who are more in tune with our instincts are so attracted to intelligence, or notable members of the more intelligent races.
Watsonâs view also indicates itâs wrong to think of intelligence as a purely academic or âinstitutionally themedâ trait (something that must be taught). Meaning the universities could be a complete scam.
The proof is in the pudding on this one too, since people who survive the institutions these days tend to be more perfunctorily obsequious and are not necessarily intelligent.
But this whole subject matter got me thinking that it may actually explain why women are notoriously attracted to outcasts, criminals and radical entrepreneurs, since these are the kinds of men who often find a way to get what they want without slave-like obedience to the institutions, which is obviously a trait women would be compelled to want to replicate for its usefulness in survival.
âThrough the discovery of DNA and an ensuing genetic revolution, powers held traditionally to be the exclusive property of the Gods might one day be ours.â
James D. Watson
