An inability to get easily bored may be racially distributed. Peter Frost discusses studies that show Asians are less monotony averse than Europeans, and this trait likely evolved from selection pressures created by rice farming. Probably related to this race difference in boredom avoidance, Chinese infants show a greater toleration to disturbance than do White infants.
A tolerance for boredom seems a prerequisite for diligence and studiousness. People who bore easily can’t sit still long enough to imbibe pages and pages of information. They have trouble finding personal satisfaction in rote learning. Conscientious students are often also risk averse and, less charitably, dull. But boy are they good at doing their homework and maximizing their GPAs.
In the context of modern credentialist society, a high tolerance for boredom is beneficial. Restlessness isn’t a trait of a good globocorporate cog. But boredom toleration can go too far, culminating as an inert man with a weak inner fire to propel him to greatness beyond his immediate practical concerns.
The personality sweet spot would be where focus, conscientiousness, curiosity, nonconformism, and yearning come together in a human supernova of creativity and accomplishment. This sweet spot may explain why Europeans dominated global exploration.
The sweet spot idea does explain a lot about Faustian white achievement. It has even been applied to IQ, but it turns out the smart fraction within our males is enough there, without resorting to the sweet spot.
But really, considering Aryan greatness, that the highest ideals of beauty, the most empathy, the best connection with emotion, the highest willingness to accept and investigate reality for what it is rather than what we wish it to be, the most trust in each other (followers of Peter Frost may understand that these are all, in fact, related) – considering this developed because war is the necessary flux and vigor behind it all and the Aryans emerged as the representative race of the most desirable habitat for barbarian warriors on the planet, the Western Steppe – considering the males of our race invented and created almost all we hold wonderful and beautiful in this world, or in a few instances, carried the ideas of others far beyond what the originators could, often from the urgent spur of war – considering all this, the sweet spot idea seems at the very least poetically inadequate, and perhaps conceptually inadequate too.
I have no doubt that sweet spots within some component parts, the IQ, the restlessness, the aggression, the dopamine receptors, all have a role, but we should always have a gestalt approach to the achievements of our race too – the whole is very much greater than the sum of the parts.

Jeeze, what a retard you are.
You do understand that Aryan is a Sanskrit word, spoken by Hindus, referring only to Hindus and found only in the Hindu Bible..the Rg (v)Edda ?
And that the Swastika, Laltika (that’s the red forehead mark btw), and countless other Shubhtikas are found in every home and every temple and every ceremony in India ?
And that no other holy book, religion or inhabitants of any other country has used Aryan in any social, linguistic or religious context to describe themselves…ever ?
And that the Aryans never inhabited the Western Steppes..ever ? They are the people of India who may have moved out to the Black Sea or vice versa but they never moved further west of the Black Sea.
All Rhetorical questions of course…
Aryans’ very closely related tribal counterparts did move to Norway, a country whose religious books also happened to be called ‘Edda’. And though the Hindu and Norse books are almost identical, you will never see the the word ‘Aryan’ in any Norse ‘Edda’.
The Nazis adopted the religious concepts of Hindu Rg Edda and Aryan philosophy and spoke Sanskrit on purpose. (The native German language word for Swastika – for example – is Hakenkreuz). This was because not only were they influenced by Aryan philosophy (specifically a descendent of Hinduism..Buddhism, via Nietzsche and Schopenhauer), they also thought the Aryan Edda was the superior source text compared to the Norse version.
And thus endeth the history lesson.

Culture does not make humans; humans make culture as an expression of their innate values. These values derive from largely biological origins. You will not find a group of smart kids self-expressing base, jock culture. Conversely you will not find cretins (of any race) building orchestras.

Sanskrit is derived from what’s now called Proto-Indo-European, and what used to be called Proto-Aryan. Latin and Proto-Germanic all come from the same root language.
Aryans have referred to ourselves as Aryans for thousands of years across the globe. That’s why you can find the god Aryaman/Irmun/Eremon/Ahriman all over the world (India, Germany, Ireland, Iran, respectively). That’s why you have two countries named after us: Ireland and Iran. Note the distance between the two. The sunwheel/swastika/hooked-cross/fylfjot has likewise appeared wherever we have, as has our thunder god.

The Rg Veda is not comparable to the Bible in terms of influence, since it is just one of many canonical texts and lacks many of the features that define modern Hindu belief.
>And that no other holy book, religion or inhabitants of any other country has used Aryan in any social, linguistic or religious context to describe themselves…ever ?
Horseshit. The word Arya (Skt. “noble”) has cognates in, among other languages, Persian (“Iran” is cognate) and Irish Gaelic (“Eire”, the Gaelic word for Ireland, is cognate).
>And that the Aryans never inhabited the Western Steppes..ever ? They are the people of India who may have moved out to the Black Sea or vice versa but they never moved further west of the Black Sea.
Wrong again. The Aryans moved into northwestern India from the western steppes, as evinced by the geographies described in the Vedas, as well as by linguistic and archaeological evidence.
>Aryans’ very closely related tribal counterparts did move to Norway, a country whose religious books also happened to be called ‘Edda’. And though the Hindu and Norse books are almost identical, you will never see the the word ‘Aryan’ in any Norse ‘Edda’.
Swing and a miss. “Veda” comes from the Sanskrit for “knowledge/understanding”; “edda” comes from Old Norse “odr”, meaning “sprit/mind/passion/song/poetry”. Also, the Vedas and Eddas are not particularly comparable in either style or content.
>The Nazis adopted the religious concepts of Hindu Rg Edda and Aryan philosophy and spoke Sanskrit on purpose. (The native German language word for Swastika – for example – is Hakenkreuz). This was because not only were they influenced by Aryan philosophy (specifically a descendent of Hinduism..Buddhism, via Nietzsche and Schopenhauer), they also thought the Aryan Edda was the superior source text compared to the Norse version.
Hinduism did not influence Buddhism, since Hinduism did not exist at the time of the Buddha. At the time of the Buddha, there were two major strains of Indian spirituality: Brahmanism (which focused almost exclusively on performance of Vedic ritual duties), and the sramana tradition (which focused on meditation, asceticism, and concepts of reincarnation, samsara, and moksha that were of no interest to Brahminical practitioners at the time). The sramana tradition gave birth to Buddhism, Jainism, and yoga, which in turn influenced Brahmanism and changed it into what would today be recognized as Hinduism.

A command that has to be issued in a commanding voice is probably futile (emergencies a different). Never threaten. Show that you don’t put up with it, then a casual ambiguous remark will do the job thereafter. Direct threats are challenge to misbehave.

Two of the Koreans told me that, in addition to school, they had several hours a week of home tutoring, and several hundred math problems each week (like 1500/wk, every week…*extra*. I’m going from memory, but it was some ungodly number.) So basically their ability at maths was the result of tortuous practice….fostered by an ability to sit through loads of boring crapola.

It annoys me that I get bored so easily. I wish it wasn’t so because it seriously harms my productivity and what I can do. I’ve always been this way though and the pleasure I got out of mathematics was learning stuff that wasn’t taught in class to more easily solve the exercises we did in class. Intellectually, what I derive pleasure out of is taking ideas from one spot and applying them in another or figuring broader things out because focusing on a narrow thing is tedious to me.

Ferguson, nonperformance in school, inability to read, write, or talk in English, etc etc etc; I need not elaborate here.
This lack of ability to tolerate boredom is yet more proof they are closer to nonhuman animals that we are. Think of your dog or any dog you see on the street; constantly having to be restrained from chasing squirrels, held back from sniffing people, not self-aware, not aware of human social norms.
This is why even the more civilized blacks, who are given non-math jobs by affirmative action, and often in government positions (where sit there giving a bad attitude to any whites with whom they deal all day), who you see working downtown in any city, will disrupt the peace by shouting to each other across the street, dancing and singing, loudly making a scene, laughing very loudly and wildly, making a scene. Usually into your ear, on purpose.
They cause a ruckus and make a scene everywhere they go, on purpose, or similar to how a dog does it. The only exception to this shouting-on-city-streets rule that I know of is New York City, where it is simply so congested that everyone has to pay attention to their walking just to avoid bumping into others. But in a medium-sized city’s downtown area during business hours, if you look around while walking the streets, you will never get far before seeing blacks making a scene of some kind–shouting at each other across the street (in a friendly manner, to each other) while rudely yelling in the person next to them’s ear, or being a crazy person seemingly high on something, having imaginary kung fu fights with the air or shouting at an invisible enemy, or downright hostilely starting a fight with an innocent civilian or otherwise making a scene trying to dare people to complain or hit them, such as on trains or buses (there are thousands of youtube videos showing this phenomenon).

I was always raised with the motto, and found it to be true, that: “boredom is for the boring.” I suppose I have very poor toleration for boredom, because I did very badly in school for refusing to do boring, busy work. But I resisted this on principle, because I felt like being bored and being a boring person was the worst thing one could be. I was always a year ahead of my Spanish class, I taught myself Greek in Physics class, I learned German and studied the Renaissance in Social Studies, I ignored “A Separate Peace” in English Class, but only because I wanted to read more Shakespeare, etc. I was the most competent and best-educated man in all of my classes (except Trig and Calculus, where two guys were better than me), but I was the worst student. My best subject was Spanish, in which I always got C’s and D’s, despite being much better than the other students. People who can buckle down and do worksheets, and maximize their GPA, as you rightly point out, are boring people with an high tolerance for boredom. Real intelligence is never bored; it ignores boring things, not for the sake of pointless revelry (as a real idiot would), but for the sake of pursuing greater things with a more sparkling intelligence. Until we get women out of education, who are built for boredom and conformity, we can only expect intelligent, interesting males to suffer, and our society to suffer with them.

Yep. Besides being the enemy of (and fearing) truth, modern leftism–which controls government, education starting from elementary school through higher education, media, and corporate America–also loves form over substance. Truth and true intelligence always prefers substance over form.
Except when discussing “equality.” Conservatives (sane people with average or above intelligence) want equality of opportunity, which we used to have, which benefits society and the species as a whole. But because certain races as a whole cannot compete, the left, which is in control, tries to mandate false equality of RESULTS, which has ruined our society. This is communism, which never works. Every white person born after 1970 in the United States has grown up with a certain fear, a knowledge that there are “no go” areas where one would not want to get a flat tire or even stop at a red light. In every city. This is among the things that shall not be talked about.
But as CH says, true natural-law reality will prevail, one way or another, eventually.
Actually, sadly, I’d say it already has or is. What we have right now is the left, which also owns the government’s big guns, firmly in control. We will never simply cut off Africa, which is the obvious solution. We have crumbling bridges and roads and electric grids here at home, and no money to fix it, but we give trillions to Africa to fight their AIDS problem and hunger problems. We white normal drone workers, who are slaves, are stuck in this crazy system now, with 20% of the population and underclass that can barely read or write and cannot even work a normal job in the “information economy,” and nearly 50% of that 20% (the young males) are angry, aggressive, violent, and dangerous (the Ferguson “protesters”).
So we get Ferguson, Detroit, “no go” areas in every city, and hard working regular people who just want safety for their families living in fear every day. It’s demoralizing, to say the least.

It may be difficult to believe, but I can’t remember ever being bored… when circumstances in the given environment at any given time were placid or I was in a state of “marking time”, per se, I could always think about other things from the past, or plan things for the future.
Even as a young boy, I was able to sit and concentrate for long periods on a given task, even if the task at hand were merely a baseball game.
This is why I seldom had patience for anyone who complained about being “bored”.
I’d like to think I’m not the only one.

Boredom ranks high second on women list of fears just after the fear of cockroaches and other insects
It is typically feminine that is to say pertinent to a shallow empty mind in permanent quest for external “excitements”, pushed by an eternal fear of facing the emptiness of their substance
Whole “entertainment” industry is built on the emptiness of these shallow minds and their fear of boredom
By contrast a real man has whole world inside itself, ever changing one in which past present and future live together, transformed by the wonder, curiosity and an inner necessity to make them a whole and capture their essence

“.. why Europeans dominated global exploration”
Western Europeans. Northern Western Europeans. The most Western and most Northern in particular. From the islands off the coast, and the Peninsula.
Because they were sublime, centuries-long masters of [1] shipbuilding and [2] navigation, from the Veneti, through the Scandiwegians, the Portuguese, the Basques, the Hansa, to the Royal Navy and the Cutty Sark. Because they had to be. Now piss off, lubbers.

China was exploring the world over vast distances, with very large fleets of ships, about a century before Europe.
They gave up at the wrong time, of course. Otherwise, Australia would have had millions of Chinese people on it long before the British ever reached it.
However, Tam the Bam is correct that European exploration was concentrated among British, French, Spanish, and Portugeuse ventures. The other countries in Europe did very little outside these four. The Norse did a little bit a few centuries before, but could not sustain colonies (else Canada would already have had Nordic people in it 500 years before Columbus).

The qualities that are mentioned as contributors to what some want to call ADD/ADHD are present in a normal Gaussian continuum in any large population. The Bell Curve, and all that. Folks given these diagnoses are not a seperate modal peak existing apart from the “normal” distribution. They just happen to own one end of the curve.
This leads strongly to the realization that there must be a population with anti-ADD qualities at the other end. Math can help us see these things, or at least tell us where to look,
So, there must be people who can control their own conscious mind better than average without much effort. A subject need not be interesting or attractive for such a brain to order itself to stop noticing anything else and just grind away at the immediate and defined problem
Thus; the opposite of ADD people are great at attending to boring shit when tasked with it but mostly lame when real originality is required. Even if new ideas did form up inside their heads their great Executive Function would hiss and snap with teeth “we cannot see or hear you” their wet instinct takes over and practically locks any original ideas in a cage.

That’s all fine IF those qualities ARE indeed present in a normal distribution. But you have to demonstrate that, not just assume it.
