Good self esteem helps us to get on in life and to also helps us find us to a loving partner. Feeling that we are worthwhile and lovable is as important to us as getting food and shelter (once we are out of danger, anyway). If you are really good at something, doesn't it give you a good feeling? We all like to think we are special and unique in some way and of course we all are. We all work hard at being masters of something, even if we are just good at making our friends laugh.
Stefan Molineux is well known for his egotism, but I can't understand why scientist like Sam Harris and Steve Pinker and psychologists, like Jordan Peterson, would fall for vanity when it comes to I.Q. and race. It's seductive to feel superior and extra special in some way, but academics who study human behavior should be fully aware of this phenomena.
Could Jordan Peterson, who lectures people about the 7 deadliest sins, be himself seduced by pride? White pride! Neither he, or the academics above checked the facts, so were they seduced by pride? Or hubris, which I think is a better word.
In the experiment below, a school teacher tells the children that blue eyed children are better and more superior than brown eyed children. The blue eyed children love the feeling of superiority, but the brown eyed children become upset, depressed, and despondent. In the school playground the blue eyed children taunt and bully the brown eyed children reeling their new superiority. The brown eyed children even begin to fail academically.
Could the academics mentioned above have fallen for hubris and vanity putting their scientific vigour aside? It was just so tempting.

These clowns’ racism is a product of garden variety arrogance, but it is also a reaction to modern society’s incessant whining about “white male privilege,” “toxic masculinity,” “rape culture,” “homophobia,” and so on.
Among average white males, the more impoverished and indebted they become, the more they are condemned for being “privileged.” Molineux, Harris, Pinker, and Peterson seem to oppose all this. That’s why they have an audience.
I say they SEEM to oppose it, because these four morons actually protect and promote the neoliberalism and inequality that is destroying straight white males. For example, Molineux and Peterson frequently attack all forms of socialism, and condemn anyone who questions the neoliberal nightmare. In this way they attack everyone in the lower classes, including the average straight white males that they purport to defend.
Naturally these buffoons adore Israel and its atrocities. I’ll bet they also like war, even though war creates the refugees that these buffoons despise. Rather than attack their governments for creating refugees, these idiots prefer to attack the refugees.
Speaking of Israel, Ben Shapiro (a disgusting Jewish supremacist) says that the greatest “threat” of “anti-Semitism” comes from the left, not the right, since some progressives question Israeli evil.
Shapiro constantly mentions that his wife is a “doctor.” Did he tell you that? Yes, his wife is a “doctor.” Not only that, his Jewish wife is a “doctor.” Did he mention that? She’s a “doctor.” A “doctor.” A “doctor.”
By the way, Shapiro spent a year attacking Trump, until he saw that this was costing him his conservative audience. Glenn Beck destroyed his career among conservatives by constantly attacking Trump, and Shapiro almost did the same thing. Now Shapiro has done an about-face.
I can’t stand the short little runt-bastard. His voice sounds like an insect trapped in a bottle, buzzing and buzzing.
Thanks for tidying up my grammar, Konrad, and taking the commas out at Peterson.
Imagine at school you find out you are the most intelligent child in the class, but what about the most intelligent in the school. Imagine how seductive that would feel. But the same happens with race. Imagine if you are a bright Jew and your told that people like you are extra bright compared to other people, or that because you're white you're brighter than people of other races. Lots of people would find that seductive because we all love to feel special in some way.
The working class can be very nationalistic, which is another way of raising self esteem: 'we're better then them, we're the best, we can beat them, just try it?' which is why the ruling elite find it so easy to get them to fight in their wars for them.
