William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 June 2025: To illustrate my point further through an exaggeration: you wouldn’t consider a baby responsible for their life situation. In that regard, far-left activists are closer to babies than you are. Emotionally immature adults tend to be more mentally ill, and more Democrat
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 June 2025: Far-left activism and blank slate theory will never die because they are a byproduct of emotional immaturity and there’s no shortage of that.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 9 June 2025: But William, why are some low-trust populations doing so well in the U.S.? Two main reasons: 1. Some populations are highly selected for marketable skills (but not necessarily for trust and trustworthiness).
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 9 June 2025: Trustworthiness also appears to be partially heritable, like all traits (first law of behavioral genetics) https://t.co/sDF7TTFr6Q

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 9 June 2025: Obviously, not all individuals from a particular country display the same level of trust, but low averages can be concerning given that trust is largely heritable.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 23 March 2025: This is especially perplexing in Canada where third-world immigrants have been implicated in numerous antisemitic terrorist acts such as firing gunshots at Jewish elementary schools as well as trying to cross the border to attack Jews in NYC. https://t.co/jG4T6iPcAG
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 23 March 2025: That being said, I still have trouble understanding why the biggest proponents of mass third-world immigration in North America have been Jewish.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 23 March 2025: It should also be noted that politics isn’t a very high-IQ field—consider that Gavin Newsom scored 960 on the SAT, which is, at best, a 42nd percentile score. IQ-induced overrepresentation in politics is not expected to be remarkably high.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 23 March 2025: And that’s not counting the most high-profile mass immigration intellectual in the US. https://t.co/lpImr1hFqn
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 23 March 2025: 1% of Canada and 2.2% of the U.S. are Jewish. If Jewish people are to be rightfully overrepresented fourfold in politics due to a higher average IQ, the odds of both nations' top mass third-world migration architects being Jewish are 1 in 284.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 18 March 2025: Canada doesn’t share conviction rates by ethnicity. Therefore, we have to rely on accusation and victimization rates. Since most homicides are intraethnic and these two rates are nearly identical, we can reasonably assume accusations to be a good proxy for actual homicides. https://t.co/OGWIfvGDeq

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @lokitekone You have to look at within individual strengths for a clearer picture. This is covered in great detail in the psychological literature.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @EpektasisJohn haven’t looked deeply into it
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @EpektasisJohn we know married ppl with kids are happier (long-term) but some of the difference is certainly from selection effects

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @Rechts_2 Indeed. This study shows that these already present sex differences in personality grow (for many traits) as societies improve in living conditions.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @EclipsePurpl both are compatible if directed at different objects, in my view
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @Giulia33232149 On the ideological front, yes. On the biopsychological front, much less.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @morepuzzled sure, but different motivations can be expressed at different levels (towards different people)
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @SrChmiel4 I think there are some ways in which empathy and selfishness are mostly compatible
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @GScottSays I would say they are altruistic toward non-kin, hence the heat map meme.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: @Honziku575 It is from this study; graph by @jonatanpallesen. As with most things in psychology, it is an interval scale, you can’t say "I have 2 wokeness" just like you can’t say "I have 105 intelligence". You can only compare yourself to others. https://t.co/Y0rfiCvDIy

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 11 March 2025: @intjgamergirl A lot of women are not woke, luckily.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 12 March 2025: Guilt, shame, and altruism are the psychological foundations of Wokism. Tomorrow I will share a new, unifying, biopsychosocial model of Wokism.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 11 March 2025: In the US (and likely the anglosphere), young liberal women are the most mentally ill demographic, by a large margin. This is both a cause and a symptom of Wokism. https://t.co/aolt5aSFIM
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 24 March 2025: Wokeness largely arises from unmarried, childless young women creating and self-selecting into psychosocial environments that validate their heightened tendencies toward guilt, shame, and altruism, while offering a channel to fulfill their otherwise unmet nurturing needs. https://t.co/d8IjrebLNA
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 11 March 2025: The main explanation for this phenomenon is likely gene-environment correlation. rGE in 4 steps: 1. Genetic predispositions can be more fully expressed when environmental constraints are removed. 2. Different innate tendencies lead to creating and selecting different…

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 15 June 2025: Have we found the cause of Suicidal Empathy? Research shows free, affluent societies maximize guilt, shame, and altruism in women. In the West, evermore power is given to an increasingly self-loathing, selfless demographic. 🧵 https://t.co/FGJnHAQ1Y3

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 7 March 2025: @C1aranMurray I agree, I don’t claim that the entirety of the 20 to 1 difference is of genetic origin. As for the genes, my guess is that at the country level, it might potentially be a proxy for a more inclusive polygenic score, although we don’t know for sure.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 6 March 2025: @noesis_noeseos1 there is still a huge gap to this day
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 6 March 2025: @emptorpreempted why do you think that is?
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 6 March 2025: @ffilithy you’re talking about the q index? if so, random error would bias the strength of the relationship down, not up.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 6 March 2025: @MichaelACT123 What Nobel-worthy discovery did they miss?
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 6 March 2025: @ThinkFinance999 a lot of the difference is indeed caused by sociological factors, but I would be surprised if the gap completely closes on a per capita basis

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 March 2025: National IQ combined with genetic curiosity is a much stronger predictor of Nobel Prizes than National IQ alone.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 27 February 2025: The easiest way to conquer Canada: -Offer citizenship to all Canadians making 100k/year (~5M) These people pay half their salary for shit services and account for 60% of income tax revenue—millions would gladly leave and Canada would fall.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 15 February 2025: I should add that a dad has value beyond what can be scientifically measured.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 9 February 2025: @x_spinoza I share your sentiment. However, I’d argue that racial diversity is the primary cause of racial tensions. Hence, the need to have better immigration policy.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 9 February 2025: @x_spinoza I think 90% of people’s policy pushback is low-resolution; that is, both concepts amount to roughly the same on a practical level. If any kind of in-group preference can’t be expressed, then it incentivizes slow death, regardless of specifics.

A lot of what they did was also deleterious to society (Anti free speech, funding Wuhan, opening the borders to secure long term votes, etc.). A group needs not to only excel in bureaucracy to be deleterious to society.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 7 February 2025: @x_spinoza @ArtemisConsort The premise of your argument is that individual ability/success leads to out-group benefits. Far from true imo. Democrat bureaucrats were very successful at parasitism with USAID and other tax-payer funded leftist endeavours. These were nonetheless deleterious to society.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 7 February 2025: Good immigration policy IS indistinguishable from eugenic policy. You want smart, productive, healthy, prosocial individuals.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 February 2025: If you doubt @charlesmurray’s methodology, consider this 2015 study. It found that 92% of the Nobel Prizes in Science, Literature, and Economics, as well as Fields Medals in Mathematics, were won by Eurodescendants. https://t.co/GkfPw5xbfH
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 February 2025: From 800 BC to 2000, 97% of major scientific accomplishments occurred in Europe and North America. Fundamentally, the attack on “White men” is meant to reduce the humiliation felt from their overwhelming success. It’s therapy for jealousy. 🧵 https://t.co/qZGtX0t34Q

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 February 2025: @ArtemisConsort I’m also feminine enough that I can only date hyper-feminine women. I believe hardship makes one develop mental toughness. This is somewhat orthogonal to the masculine-feminine axis.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 February 2025: @cremieuxrecueil great idea
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 5 February 2025: @ArtemisConsort Exactly my thoughts. Pretty busy rn so I didn’t want to make a post about it, but I see lengthy posts on it.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 2 February 2025: In Denmark 🇩🇰, descendants of non-Western immigrants commit crime at the same rate as the first-generation. I see 3 possibilities: 1.

William Meijer (@williameijer) at 28 January 2025: In addition to negative ideas about the self, the world and the future, Wokism promotes personal and relational dysfunction via 3 cardinal lies: 1. What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker. 2. Always trust your feelings. 3. Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
William Meijer (@williameijer) at 28 January 2025: The woke mind virus seeks the mentally ill and creates mental illnesses because it allows itself to spread further. The mentally ill are often less compliant with established norms, thus more predisposed to spread the virus.

William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: @eyeslasho The very concept of metric has its intrinsic biases. Sub-criminal, dishonest behaviour, like what you reported from your business regulation friend, will hardly come up in publicly available governmental data. It nonetheless is very damaging to the fabric of society.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: @meow_zedong1 Yes. It’s egosyntony. Some people are likelier to think in ways aligned with their ego.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: @meow_zedong1 Good question. To some extent it is, but usually not to very high levels. Could be wrong.

William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: Agree. And I’d be willing to bet that externally-imposed grind culture is detrimental to the more autonomous elite creatives. A great deal of our innovation—and consequently our growth—depends on them. https://t.co/9qOZv26F8U
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: There are no solutions, only trade-offs. Is the AI war of sufficient strategic importance to warrant such a trade-off? Perhaps. But in the end, democracy entails that experts inform and citizens exert value judgements.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 28 December 2024: The core issue in the H1B debate is this: how much technological advancement are we willing to sacrifice to prevent the empowerment of an elite class, supremely adapted to a low-trust society? According to Grok, such adaptations often include a propensity for deceit and nepotism.

These people have been reliably right (meaning their ideas have survived selective pressures) a lot more than 99.99% of the population.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 17 December 2024: @wanyeburkett To be clear about causality, I personally imply wokeness (reverse cognitive behavioural therapy) to induce depression and anxiety. Then the lexapro comes.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 17 December 2024: @AdamMantine @wanyeburkett He’s implying the reverse.

William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 15 December 2024: @LiftLaughLaw That has a lot to do with it indeed! In my experience. Although you have to have something of value to offer to others to influence them.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 15 December 2024: @eyeslasho I actually enjoy it because my unlimited access to the liberal mind attunes my political intuition and furthers my ability to influence. I understand what they value.
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 27 December 2024: As far as civilization building values go, I am afraid the propensity for a group to hold them is partly explained by genetics. 2nd gen immigrants to the US have a propensity to save money reflective of their home country’s domestic savings rate (r=0.61).

William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 15 December 2024: Since free, affluent societies maximize individual differences, I predict the future of fertility to skew towards a small % of women having a greater % of all children (and vice versa).

William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 13 December 2024: The moral of @GadSaad’s story is that attacks on wokeness that do not use data to compromise its no-group-differences foundations have little effect. He likely knows it, but can’t talk about group differences given his position. Here’s a graph for you brother. https://t.co/8icKM1S0cI https://t.co/7HLwGJ5sAt
William Meijer (@DataMeijer) at 13 December 2024: Wokeness is simply the logical, political conclusion of no group differences: “If we’re the same, but outcomes are not, then the game must be rigged.” Wokism can only be durably defeated by datafying its empty foundation.
