It's fair enough to make reference to gender characteristics because the evidence for many large differences between men and women is overwhelming.
By contrast, the differences between the various races seem a lot smaller, which means that individual variation within the same gene pool becomes a significant factor. This is why Jews can arise, such as Jesus and Spinoza, who are immeasurably superior to virtually all Germans.

Believe me, Weininger would be the first to agree that there are Jews far more Aryan than Aryans, and vice versa.By contrast, the differences between the various races seem a lot smaller, which means that individual variation within the same gene pool becomes a significant factor.

I do recall however discussions with you in the past where you said Asians were "like ants" and that negroes have never created anything in the realms of science, philosophy or art. That constitutes fairly large differences between races. Do you still hold to those ideas?
Note: For those of you who think Neanderthal man is a predecessor of homo sapiens (modern humans), they are in fact a branching away from an earlier species, possibly homo erectus. Modern humans did not evolve from Neanderthals, who arrived earlier in Europe and evolved to survive in that harsh climate. Homo sapiens moved into the Neanderthal's European homeland in the last Ice Age and gradually eradicated them with their superior survival skills. Some interbreeding may have occurred.

avidaloca,
There have been some very wise Asians, such as Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Huang Po, and Hakuin, and while there hasn't been any similarly-gifted Africans, at least to my knowledge, I don't see any reason why one couldn't pop up tomorrow.
In other words, there doesn't seem to be anything inherent within the gene pool of either race which prevents them from becoming noble-minded and wise. It could easily be that it is the respective culture of each race which undermines the spiritual potential of individuals at a very young age and that's where the problem lies.
And even if limitations were found to exist within each gene pool, there is always the possibility that genetic variations and mutations could arise, enabling individuals to bypass them. So in many ways, the whole issue is rather meaningless.

There are certainly some differences between the various races, but just how large these differences are, and exactly what form they take, is difficult to discern because the influence of culture is always muddying the waters. I'm not sure that they are as large as you make out.I do recall however discussions with you in the past where you said Asians were "like ants" and that negroes have never created anything in the realms of science, philosophy or art.

The issue of racial characteristics was more heightened in Weininger's time (early 1900s) due to very limited mixing and interbreeding of different races. Mixed marriages would have been almost unheard of. Unlike today, the various races at that time would have had very unique identities that did not mix well together.

There are powerful dynamics to consider here.
A shorter and smaller man is more likely to be ignored. He is naturally deficient in the power stakes, and will be concerned with redressing this imbalance.
A large man will naturally be less concerned or drawn into power battles. He may however become concerned with the power he has due to his size, and subsequently develop a soft character. A large man with an aggressive character can easily scare the shit out of people.
The important point here is the relation of the individual to the common, not the common to the common.

Probably not, but i expect that even he would feel a loss of power, and would explore what we are talking about with interest.David: If Weininger moved to a land of giant people (thereby becoming a short person) would his character suddenly become more base?

I am yet to read Weininger's views on this, but was unsurprised when i found the topic in his book.
I made important comparisons during my early teens between the Japanese and Australians. This occurred partly due to the Japanese having a phase of frenzied interest in Australia at the time, and political support for multiculturalism. I heard they were collecting Australian memorabilia such as our 2 cent coins with the frill-neck lizard embossed, which i regarded as petty-minded materialism, and noticed they were pre-occupied with study and work. They reminded me of ants, having little or no personality and a correspondingly greater herd mentality. I concluded they were more feminine-minded than Aussies, and was concerned about their impact on Australia, moving and visiting here in droves as they were with considerable political support.

I think it's very important to understand that she's not at all special, to not mistake her descriptive prowess for wisdom. She has arisen precisely because the feminine has gained so much voice in our modern world. She is the thin end of a wedge, supported by the rest of the wedge, and only existent in so much as the wedge exists. The borg has reached a point of speaking of itself, something that man did for the first time many thousands of years ago. Such is their lag.
I think men are not only allowing this to happen, but fostering it. Men are involved in a process of freeing femininity exactly so it can be seen and surmounted. Man reached such a high peak in his development that he has chosen, in benevolence, to foster womens growth. This is most clearly the age of man raising woman more than has ever been done in the past.
During this process of exploration men are being lost to their own femininity. Such is the price of progress. Man is ever so capable of taking calculated and weighty risks, indeed, the very risk of losing himself, in the knowledge of his own bank-vault strength.
Whilst i speak of man en-masse in a manner that man himself does not speak, i refute the impression that he is unconscious. Man is yet too weak to outwardly acknowledge his remaining failings as personified by woman and glide into the infinite. One step at a time. And he holds concern that to tell of his vision may be counter to his goal; i.e. that if he reveals his control she will see her insignificance and lose confidence.

I've just finished reading these for the first time. I agree with David's parting comment that Foxy is just like any other woman except she's aware of femininity, which, in her depravity, she does not see as depraved.ksolway wrote:I've added some of the writings of "Foxylaythee" to the archives.
I think it's an excellent read.
