It doesn’t sound cold, scaredy. What creates problems among people is fear, primarily fear of the unknown. People who seek to surround themselves (either in real-life situations, or in an online environment) with people who look, act, and think exactly as they do are the ones who are most susceptible to rumor and innuendo about people of other races, religions, cultures, etc.

Quite often, when they find themselves in a situation with people who are “different”, it becomes much more difficult to persist in believing the rumor and innuendo. So, I think that your “inbreeding” proposition is spot-on.

The big problem today is that people can persist in surrounding themselves with those who think and act exactly as they do. It’s no coincidence that the rise in popularity of the internet has mirrored the increase of polarization among people within socioeconomic groups. 16 or 17 years ago, people like Anders Breivick would have kept to themselves, writing stuff down in their secret diaries, sharing it with no one because they feared alienation, ridicule, or ostracism. Now they freely post their crazed ramblings on the internet because they can do so with impunity, and chances are strong that others with the same convictions will seek to connect with them.

I see this phenomenon constantly. People on all sides of a political (or any) argument continually seek out others – individuals and organizations – of similar thoughts and convictions on the internet. It serves as a reinforcement mechanism, and they don’t realize that they are actually part of a tiny microcosm that does not necessarily represent the attitudes of the public at large. Continued exposure leads to an incredibly limited and distorted view of the world that surrounds them. The irony is that they truly believe that they are gaining vast amounts of knowledge and are better informed in general; in reality, the exact opposite is occurring.

This is a normal human tendency. But what I find particularly disturbing is the unwillingness of people to listen, or even expose themselves, to someone from “the other side”. This is what leads people, who in actuality share the same wants, needs, hopes, and desires, to become archenemies.

Hey, I’m all for aerial spraying of Prozac, and strategic placement of benzo salt licks in populated areas. People need to just step away from the computers and communicate face-to-face with others. It’s a lot harder to hate someone right to their face.

[quote=walterwhite]…..if it could be proven that people with lots of disparate backgrounds were superior, could the data persuade racial purists to give it up already? [/quote]

The answer to this is a resounding “no”. Racial purists are not interested in the truth. They would only be threatened by data that conflicted with their deeply-rooted beliefs.

The plot thickens…. Mysterious money and contact with popular bloggers

Anders Behring Breivik, Mystery Man

Okay, now let’s summarize what we know about Breivik’s money trail, based not on what he says in his diary but on what little investigative reporting has been done on the matter. It boils down to this: His tax records show a small income in 2007 – the year all that money miraculously appeared in his bank account – and a bit more in 2008. He had no reported income in 2006 and 2009. Prior to that, there is no evidence of his “first million” anywhere to be seen.

While his diary emphasizes that he saved every penny to finance his terrorist operation, there had to be some income coming in from somewhere. And then there’s that mysterious $115,000 – did he rob a bank? Or did he have a benefactor? Here is where Breivik’s money trail simply … trails off.
The idea that Breivik acted alone is absurd: he had to have help, just on logistical matters, never mind the financial side of such an operation. Furthermore, it’s hard – nay, impossible – to believe he kept the secret to himself for nine years. In order to escape detection, and have the means to carry off such a complicated operation, Breivik must have had some organized assistance – and not from amateurs, by any means. At this point, we don’t know from whom.

However, we can see in the reaction to his murderous assault a kind of support network that has sprung up, if not to defend him personally then to defend his motivations and the ethos from which his hatred welled up. As I have said in my other columns on this subject, the so-called counter-jihadist milieu – whose writings were copiously cited in the online manifesto – provided the theoretical basis for Breivik’s horrific actions. The “anti-jihadist” pro-Israel blogosphere played an important role in reinforcing and elaborating Breivik’s crazed worldview, and there is even some frightening evidence that they played more of an activist role than that.

In a post dated June 24, 2007, Pamela Geller, a leading light of the counter-jihadi movement, posted the following on her web site:
“I am running an email I received from an Atlas reader in Norway. It is devastating in its matter-of-factness.
