@GarrettPetersen@wanyeburkett Moreover, even when individuating information is available, it will be noisy and only loosely correlated with the outcome or trait of interest. So it would still be irrational to completely update away from a stereotype based on group means.
@GarrettPetersen@wanyeburkett Of course it does. When individuating information is not available, one must rely on best predictions from group means; this is the empirical basis for stereotypes.
One would be a fool not to make use of stereotypes in everyday life.
@TShampling @bannan_ken As you're aware, his challenge was for the majority to explain why the 'same-sex' element of marriage law was no more fundamental than its 'two people' element.
Clearly, his fears are being borne out. Social conservatives are right to pump the brakes on this degeneracy.
@TShampling @bannan_ken What are you talking about?
Roberts argued persuasively that the majority opinion in Obergefell could not specify a limiting principle to the kinds of definitional changes required by their view of the law.
@DamienMorris@edwest@sapinker It's not a matter of "losing the argument" but rather losing the race to capture the institutions in which such debates take place.
@CharlesNegy @ZeteticAdvocate No, our society loses most when we don't support the education of the best and brightest, who will inevitably be overwhelmingly white and Asian.
@a_centrism@SamHarrisOrg Bad take. Spirituality != religiosity (+ other misreadings suggested by your tweet).
(FWIW I take Harris' views on consciousness, meditation and their relationship seriously.)
@wil_da_beast630 Well, it's a test of the Scarr-Rowe model of race differences, which proposes that the relatively impoverished environment of blacks masks their cognitive genetic potential. If true, one would expect to observe a large g-by-race interaction manifested as differing h2 across race.
