@Groyer42 @benshapiro Another fake reddit screenshot. Boring.

@globalunionist @SharghiGhamzade @RichardDawkins Words don't influence people. Ideas do.

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

A movement opposes science when it doesn't want assertions tested, challenges arithmetic when its claims don't add up, ridicules 'merit' when it wants to triumph by other means, seeks to censor when it fears discussion.

Those who coddle such demands sow the seeds of our undoing.

You are now losing everyone sane.

These lives matter too.

They will tell you “Black Lives Matter” to your face but they won’t mean it if you act like this. What they will mean is “Please don’t hurt me on my way to switch my vote to whoever is going to stop you without apology.”

As sentient beings, we experience the world around us by deriving and subjectively mapping meaning from and on to its contents. Something about that level of awareness and cognitive ability is evolutionarily profound to me. #neuroscience #linguistics #depthpsychology #evolution

1/ "Theories of Everything": A Taxonomy.

It is often said that "Theories-of-Everything are a dime a dozen" or that "All theoretical physicists worth their salt have several in a drawer." So far as I can tell, this is simply untrue. We've barely ever, if at all, seen candidates.

@VirusesImmunity Gender is just one variable to consider though. A social scientist looking to get to the crux of this phenomenon would not simply view this in a univariate way. In developmental and child psychology, for example, female PhD recipients outnumber men by more than five to one. Why?

wild apes and captive monkey males and females prefer typically masculine and feminine human toys, respectively, which “suggests that there is something biologically different about the sexes that makes them gravitate to different types of toys" https://t.co/0J2jFRBeci

1/ The "Adj.-Profession-Name" Formula, Disagreeables, & the "No-Living-Heroes" thy. Consider adjectives:

Embattled
Controversial
Divisive
Reclusive
Provocative
Struggling
Right-Wing
Eccentric
Self-styled
Far-Left
Recovering
Disgraced
Self-Promoting
Free-thinking
Volatile
etc.

I’m *reluctantly* being forced into an about face on whether we should study performance/intelligence differences scientifically. If mere under-representation/compensation of a group is to be interpreted as if it were iron clad proof of bias/oppression, our hand becomes forced.

One of the wisest things said to me in 2017 was @RubinReport pointing out to me that politically I was dreaming about a “Panther in a China Shop” ... and that, unlike a bull, it would selectively knock over only those things that needed to go.

Yet only bulls were available.

Academics:

'WHAT DO WE WANT?' - 'Actual evidence of the problem you're saying is widespread.'

'WHEN DO WE WANT IT?' - 'Some time before you create a new policy based on the existence of that problem.'

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

"It is amazing how many of the intelligentsia call it 'greed' to want to keep what you have earned, but not greed to want to take away what somebody else has earned, and let politicians use it to buy votes."
