True Left

Aryans would be the ones who conscientiously refuse to develop machines even if they had the ability to do so. I am almost certain Aryanization will not occur fast enough to prevent Kurzweil's plan (see first post in this topic). A more realistic demographic hope - one that can occur fast enough - is for society to lose the technical proficiency required to implement Kurzweil's plan.

"if Demographic Blueshift selects for lower technical proficiency"

I'm not even sure that it does directly. But the Woke reforms in education (which are driven by it) might help somewhat. Most importantly, however, Demographic Blueshift allows the US military to be used against Israel. Just destroying Israel would lower technical proficiency to a greater degree than any other realistic single action we could take.

"wouldn't Western Civilization still have a chance of surviving?"

It would.

"Recall that many "non-Whites" in Western countries with low technical proficiency still uphold Western Civilization in many ways, chiefly via reproductive Eurocentrism."

I agree. And in non-Western countries too!

"Or is it just that in your estimation, dealing with a problem such as reproductive Eurocentrism is far easier without the existence of advanced machinery, and hence the machine makers should be targeted first?"

This.

"would you agree that we shouldn't necessarily encourage an immigration policy that actively selects for low technical proficiency per se?"

I agree.

"occupying major positions in the high-tech sector in disproportionately high numbers relative to their population, due to the fact that immigrants of low-technical proficiency now outnumber immigrants of high technical proficiency."

I have always opposed quota hiring. I believe the correct solution is not for the state to demand private businesses hire proportionately, but for the state to eliminate from the economy altogether those sectors (such as the high-tech sector) which hire disproportionately according to measures such as IQ test scores. We already saw a prelude to this happening in education:

so I believe it can be made to happen in business also if leftists play our cards well. Just as such subjects were never meant to exist, neither were such jobs. It was Western civilization alone which brought them into existence, and it is time this mistake ceases to be perpetuated.

"ignoble "Blacks" will become more open to embracing high technical proficiency as the "Whites" can now convince them the development of more machines is in their (Eurocentric) reproductive interest!"

I know:

One step closer to the all-seeing eye of Yahweh:

Amazon’s Ring is the largest civilian surveillance network the US has ever seen
[...]
One in 10 US police departments can now access videos from millions of privately owned home security cameras without a warrant
[...]
In a 2020 letter to management, Max Eliaser, an Amazon software engineer, said Ring is “simply not compatible with a free society”. We should take his claim seriously.
[...]
Ring’s pervasive network of cameras expands the dragnet of everyday pre-emptive surveillance – a dragnet that surveils anyone who passes into its gaze, whether a suspect in a crime or not. Although the dragnet indiscriminately captures everyone, including children, there are obvious racial, gendered and class-based inequities when it comes to who is targeted and labelled as “out of place” in residential space. Rahim Kurwa, a professor of criminology, law and justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago, argues that neighborhood surveillance platforms such as Neighbors perpetuate a much longer history of the policing of race in residential space.

The concerns of activists and scholars have been compounded by developments in facial recognition technology and other forms of machine learning that could be conceivably applied to Ring recorded content and live feeds. Facial recognition technology has been denounced by AI researchers and civil rights groups for its racial and gendered biases. Although Ring doesn’t currently use facial recognition in its cameras, Amazon has sold this technology to police in the past. Following pressure from AI researchers and civil rights groups, Amazon placed a one-year pause on police use of its controversial facial recognition technology, but this moratorium will expire in June.

Meanwhile, Western civilization junkies complain all the time about surveillance technology used in China, without ever stopping to think (1) the same--if not more massive--surveillance networks exist in the US, UK, and other Western nations and (2) this type of dystopian spying wouldn't even have been possible without Western civilization!

And how has technology advanced since the moon landing?

Scientists can watch thoughts travel inside a brain:

Elon Musk has been implanting chips into the brains of monkeys and pigs to monitor their thoughts, and has plans to do it to humans in the future.

Every day we come closer to creating sentient AI. (There are even tech companies naming themselves "Skynet" because they think it's cool and want to speed up the process! Not even mentioning the transhumanist movement.)

Billionaires can launch anything they want into space and are leading the movement to colonize Mars.

Already private corporations have polluted the moon with lifeforms from Earth, and others have come up with ideas on how to send DNA and microorganisms deep into another solar system/galaxy in order to colonize it.

Genetic modification technology which already exists will allow scientists or nations to completely eliminate any noble personality traits and replace them with completely slavish ones (once the genes determining various personality traits become discovered).

We are basically living within the Matrix, as governments and tech companies have access to everything we've ever done on the internet and can use that information to manipulate and profit off of people. People carry a GPS tracker on them at all times (phones) and in larger cities, are constantly on camera (and some cities are under constant watch by high resolution surveillance satellites, if I recall correctly).

Population will have increased from under 4 billion in 1969 (the Moon landing) to 8 billion in 2023. It will be almost 9 billion by 2035 (66 years after the Moon landing). (****, I remember learning in school about how 6 billion was such a huge milestone). Due to the increased demand for manufacturing and grazing land for cattle to sustain this doubled population, pollution has reached insane levels. More humans are enslaved today than at any point in history, and more animals are enslaved today than at any point in history.

Microplastics are in every part of the environment and are inside every living organism. A plastic bag has even been discovered in the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the oceans.

NASA chief Bill Nelson optimistic about space exploration as private sector, government combine efforts
...
the former Democratic U.S. senator from Florida touted advancements in commercial spaceflight, noting that the way NASA operates has "already changed" because of companies like Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
...
While progress has been made in the commercial sector by partnering with NASA, billionaire leaders like Musk and Bezos have their own ideas as well.

Recently, Musk has told reporters about his goal to make the human race a "multi-planetary species."
...
"And so, as we continue to expand out, not only with our telescopes, not only listening for any sign of intelligent message, not only with human exploration further out added to our robotic exploration, this is fulfilling our destiny as an American people. Our character, in our DNA, is that we are always pressing a frontier," said Nelson.

That is the character of Westerners, not of Americans.

"We have over 18 countries that are participating with us on the International Space Station. Russia built the station with us. I want Russia to continue what has been an incredible cooperation in space between two countries that, on the ground, are often butting heads," he said

...
In September 2016, in advance of a UN Security Council resolution 2334 condemning Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, Nelson signed an AIPAC-sponsored letter urging President Barack Obama to veto "one-sided" resolutions against Israel.[110]

In March 2017, Nelson co-sponsored the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, Senate Bill 720, which permits U.S. states to enact laws that would require contractors to sign a pledge saying that they would not boycott any goods from Israel, or their contracts would be terminated[111]

In December 2017, Nelson supported President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.[112]
...
In April 2017, Nelson called for tougher economic sanctions against Venezuela, which he called an "economic basket case."[113]

I have never ever dreamed of "touching the stars" or space travel, lol! And, I even watch sci-fi movies on occasion, but probably only because I like seeing human-beings get effed up by "monsters". Probably the same reason I enjoy the occasional horror film....
