It seems as if he thought that the second paragraph was Langan’s comment, too: voxday.net/2024/08/11/a-backhanded-compliment
The thing is that what he writes is a lie. His wife is intelligent, as he told Jesse L. Peterson in his show. (What Does It Mean to Have High IQ? Vox Day, Christian Alt-Right Writer on Trump, Putin, Brexit, SJWs.)
His son is a mathematician, as he once said on a Darsktream (I don’t remember which one.) Since intelligence is hereditary to a high degree, his wife certainly does not have an IQ of 75.
Not only is IQ hereditary, a mother with an IQ of 120 would most likely do a better job at raising children. It is highly questionable that there is no difference between a woman with IQ 75 and 120. With exceptions like drug addiction, someone with an IQ of 120 may be more capable in handling everyday life.
What’s worse, though, is that Langan is simply smarter. Way smarter. I don’t believe Langan would accept Vox Day lecturing him on such matters. And why would he? In this interview, he says that he finds intelligence important in a woman, sexy even (around 02:07:50): Chris Langan: The Most In-Depth Interview with the World’s Smartest Man
My transcription from around 02:08:16 to 02:09:00:
I got myself a very intelligent woman. Beautiful, too. […] I have always been attracted to intelligent women. To me, intelligence is sexy. It makes a woman more of a woman. Not that a woman who is not so intelligent can’t be sexy. That’s far from the case, but it is always something to which I was attracted in a female. So, this is one of the reasons that I held out for her. I was single for most of my life, up until I was about nearly fifty years old.
So-called assortative mating might be at work in most cases anyway, except for extreme cases of lasciviousness (i.e., Vox Day’s?)
He then gets asked about his vices, talking about his hot temper. According to Vox Day, alphas and sigmas are the opposite. I rather think that this is hogwash anyway; what some call ZFG—“zero f*cks given”—almost seems psychopathic.
Vox Day once even suspected that he might exhibit psychopathic traits
It is simply a stupid century, a horrible time to be alive. This degeneracy would not have been allowed to be published anyway. People did not openly talk about happy relationships, which already implies an ungodly, promiscuous lifestyle.
All in all, I think this has finished it for me. I mean, since Vox Day needs to accept Langan as his intellectual superior, as he likes to say, there is little reason to think that Langan errs regarding his preference for intelligent women. I remember reading that his wife Gina has an IQ of around 168.
So she is Vox Day’s intellectual superior, too.
This world only exists because God the Father forces us to live, which includes our disgusting origins – a slap in the face, as Andy Nowicki called it in his Considering Suicide
A high “intelligence quotient” is indication of distinguished mediocrity.
The problem is not sexual repression, nor sexual liberation, but sex.
In the end, there is no area of the soul sex would not succeed in corrupting.
Sins that appear “splendid” from afar are from close up nothing more than small sordid episodes.
It is not worth talking about even one erotic topic with someone who does not feel the unalterable baseness of erotism.
It is above all against what the crowd proclaims to be “natural” that the noble soul rebels.
What we discover as we age is not the vanity of everything, but of almost everything.
Despite what is taught today, easy sex does not solve every problem.
By merely looking at the face of the modern man one infers the mistake in attributing ethical importance to his sexual behavior.
Modern man’s life oscillates between two poles: business and sex.
