If you'd like to hear a true conservative take on things, whether or not one agrees with it, from a non Q viewpoint, you might like The Bulwark podcast. The host, Charlie Sykes, often pines after the days that liberals and conservatives had intelligent disagreements about policy, not the culture wars.

The whole Neanderthal thing is just due to Biden being an old guy, with old outdated ideas. Sure, when he was growing up, people commonly thought of Neanderthals as crude, brutish creatures, who went extinct because they could not compete. Of course, that idea is as outdated as the phrase "the cat's pajamas". Neanderthals left evidence that they cared for their sick and aged, and that they had some sort of religious beliefs, They created art, and lived together in clans. Geneticists have shown us the Neanderthals live on in our genes, so clearly there was some interbreeding between our species and theirs. In many places, there is evidence of them living successfully for hundreds of thousands of years, only disappearing when H. sapiens came into the area. And archeological evidence has shown us several sites of mass murder of Neanderthals, with the broken weapons of H. sapiens, so it is fairly obvious that we killed them off. It turns out that we were the brutes, and calling stupidity "Neanderthal thinking" is as clueless, and insulting to our victims, as the term "Indian giver". It's not that Blackburn and her ilk are truly sensitive types, but in this one small case, maybe they are correct. There's a first time for everything.

Except that movie was about the genetic dumbing down of the species. It was based upon a Kornbluth short story, The Marching Morons, with the premise that intelligent people wait to have children, and keep their family size small, while idiots live upon the dole, and have more kids than they can look after. You are conflating low intelligence with ignorance. Intelligence is due to genetics, knowledge is due to education.

Plenty of people made money off of the gold rush, those with the foresight to transport the goods miners needed, or provided needed services like meals, baths and prostitutes, and of course, Levi Strauss.
