When I was turning away from the bar, which is within walking distance of my home and sells $2 beers, therefore is a perpetual favorite, I was hailed by another fellow I knew from time and again meeting in record stores or at shows.

He is younger, and in my view, a perfect representation of that gap between millennials and Generation Zed. I knew he had some "edgy" views and always tried to respect those. We got into talking about the Jewish Question.

In his view, there is something biologically and metaphysically wrong with Jews; without using the term "evil," he said they were inclined toward some pathologies that were really bad like pedophilia and communism, and they had to be exterminated.

I asked for clarification here. Why not just send them off to Israel? If Israel was home to all Jews and only Jews, they would not be a problem for the rest of the world.

"They'll meddle in your financial systems," he said. He offered up that a nuclear Israel could destabilize the world, and how companies like Palantir showed a heavy Jewish presence in surveillance technology.

In his view, something biological in the Jew makes them inclined toward destroying everything good. I asked if he meant good in a competence/darwinist, moral, or metaphysical sense, and he suggested all three were relevant. Now this was interesting.

I brought up the point that Darwin himself would make, or at least Madison Grant would, which is that mixing races produces unstable populations, and even if they move up the IQ chain toward European levels, there might be other mental effects. However, I pointed out that Jews originated in the upper classes of Arab societies who could afford European wives.

I then asked what to me seems the most relevant question: was his objection to the Jewish mentality, or to Jewish intellectual competence? They seem a blessed people, I said, since they are generally higher IQ, intellectually curious, and have an energy that drives them toward areas of mass interest: commerce, science, art, music, socializing.

He opined that there was something metaphysically wrong with Jewish people that made them pathologically destructive. I asked if this was simply the liberal Jews that he knew, since in my view, liberalism is based on reality-denial and therefore, is obsessively destructive.

He reiterated his view: Jews were a parasite, like vines that kill trees, and the only solution is a final solution. I asked whether he was not simply seeing a different culture that had Arabic and third world roots, as applied by people more intelligent than the norm.

Considering this, he allowed that it might be so, but then returned to theme and said that then, the best thing the world could do would be to eliminate such people.

But then, I asked, would that not mean that it was most sensible to eliminate the third world entirely?

He suggested that some third world populations were content to stay in the third world, but Jews had invaded the West, therefore would do it again.

I asked if the diaspora had Roman roots, since after the Masada drama, Jews were driven out of their ethnic homeland by the threat of occupation. If, I asked, there were no such force, would not they be content to be in Israel?

He pointed out that Jews are present in every nation on Earth, so I asked whether it simply made sense to repatriate all Jews worldwide to Israel, ending the diaspora and the Jewish Question at the same time.

He allowed that this might be a solution, but that the demonic nature of Jews meant that they would inevitably meddle. I mentioned tikkun olam here, and opined that it was no different than any other form of human neurosis, bored people looking for meaning.

At that point, his friends arrived, so the conversation ended. I opted for a Karbach Hoppadillo at this point. These beers are less sweet, but have more bite, and I felt like biting something.
