The "mess" that exists in the USA today is people with hidden biological variables that make them more prone to various problems, encounter those problems more often in practice.

Because we have to pretend that those differences don't exist, we have to look for another cause for the problems. And what cause do we fixate on?

Secret aggression by other groups, of course!

So the whole point of repressing HBD knowledge was to 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 inter-group conflict, but now we have replaced a belief that 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 cause conflict if not carefully handled with a belief that is literally about how conflict is happening and how we need to fight back.

And because the differences in outcomes that are actually caused by hidden biological variables are 𝘯𝘰𝘵 caused by a sneaky attack from another group, you have a recipe for a 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙙.

If we believed in HBD we could at least in theory end the conflict and the problems. We could, for example, find was to change those hidden biological variables so that everyone had the same values. (

I don't really like this solution (it destroys human values for an instrumental reason).

I think that a better solution is to redesign society to 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 of competition. High-stakes completion between humans where if you lose you can become homeless but if you win you get a yacht is bad and heavily incentivizes conflict.

Replying to @chrisjwmartin
High stakes competition provides an incentive for genocide and war. Medium-stakes competition where if you lose you get a yacht but if you win you get a really nice yacht is much better.

Taking a *very* high level view of it you can only have war or female sexual selection as selectors for the human race. One produces beauty, culture, cooperation and occasionally titanic levels of destructive conflict The other produces constant senseless conflict and mud huts.
