Notes -
My assumption is that narrative-crafting ability is correlated with the ability to influence public perception. Just like I'm not calling Superman a "false narrative" or whatever, the "truth or falsehood of Superman" is not my point, the ethnically-motivated influence on American public consciousness is my point.
Narrative-crafting ability is correlated with the capacity to influence public consciousness on religious, political, and moral dimensions.
Jews are better at Narrative-crafting, owing partially to intelligence and partially to other cognitive traits and behaviors that make them distinct from the average White Gentile.
Jews in these cultural institutions are influenced by their identity, and their bias in the generation of culture takes the form of moralizing Jewish identity and vigorously defending it while simultaneously demoralizing White identity and criticizing it.
#3 often times takes esoteric form, like Superman, or Nerd/Jock tropes, endless Holocaust content in Hollywood and in schools, or even the Bee Movie... there's a whole thread here on the trope of "non-whites as successor to whites" described here which has been Hollywood's favorite theme in the past few years.
While any one of these cultural outputs in Hollywood, academia, popular culture alone won't convince someone to jump off a bridge, all of them combined together, with a certain bias, certainly can convince the masses of very wrong premises to be true without second thought, so true as to be completely unquestionable.
Therefore, many closely held truths, in particular surrounding race and White identity, are simply a function of the most memetically powerful propaganda, and the source of that propaganda has an ethnic bias in favor of Jewish identity and against White identity. Basically, narrative-crafting ability correlates with the speaker's ability to insert his biases into the public consciousness in the form of art, culture, and academic study.
IQ correlates with knowledge, but it can also correlate with a talent for deceiving other people with false or self-serving narratives. If you accept identity-driven bias, you have a responsibility to try to discern truth from deception or motivated reasoning, you can't say "whatever the highest IQ person says must, on average, be the most correct." If the highest IQ person has a bias then it is, on average, going to be wrong in a predictable direction.
You're contradicting yourself in the same comment now. You just said truth and falsehood is not your point.
I should do these syllogism-type traps more often, they're neat.
So you don't even engage with my argument? I am not contradicting myself, my point is that narrative-crafting correlates with the ability to have the speaker's biases be internalized in public consciousness, those who are consumers of those narratives, that argument does not rely on the premise "Narrative-crafting ability is correlated with falsehood in the speaker's statements." Somebody who is poor at narrative crafting could have no less bias than than the person good at narrative crafting, but the latter gets to make his own biases "common sense" that could be no other way.
The correlation you are proposing is not my argument. IQ correlating with "a talent for deceiving other people with false or self-serving narratives" is not equivalent to "narrative-crafting ability is correlated with falsehood in the speaker's statements", it means the speaker is more effective at signal-boosting his own particular biases and falsehoods as common sense or collectively-held truths.
