Just bringing back white men is not enough, because the education system has been systematically refusing to invest in teaching and training white boys and young men for two generations. Yes, male traits and average IQ play a significant role in competency, but those things alone are not enough to solve the competency crisis. We need to invest in training the people who are capable of being competent, and we need to set expectations high enough that they are actually motivated to achieve at the level they are capable of.
On top of that, the plague of fatherlessness has effectively ruined a huge number of young men in the West, and that phenomenon is growing in white communities as well. Boys need fathers to enforce discipline and help them learn the skills they need to be successful. Without that, they're left adrift and aimless, often angry and frustrated, and totally unmotivated.
Combine all those factors, and I'm not certain that the young men of my generation or the Zoomers are really capable of solving the competency crisis even if they're given the opportunity. And as for the Alphas, the lockdown chickens are coming home to roost in a big way. We took a generation of kids and locked them in their houses, denied them access to peers, socialization and anything resembling a decent education during some of the most important formative years of their lives. The damage we've done to their development may be irreparable.
It's almost as if socially conditioning people into being stupid and never training them to be competent might be the cause of a competency crisis.
Frankly, the damage isn't irreparable, they'll actually be fine as they get left alone and build parallel systems. It takes time, but don't be surprised when all the innovations come around rural farming efficiency and gun manufacturing, rather than aerospace.
