There's something about smart people who were able to resist liberal indoctrination that causes them to believe absurd conspiracies.

Molecular biology ended Darwinism as a viable theory many decades ago, but scientists kept it quiet because it’s their religion now.

Academia cannot be saved. The moderates who want reform don't understand their colleagues or their administration. Universities are staffed with ideologues not scientists. The authors of this paper had no interest in truth- as evidenced by their own comments. But worse than that-

This is absolutely batshit insane. Everybody already knows the 2020 paper accusing White doctors of spontaneous bias with a so-called 58% drop in mortality gap for black newborns under black physicians was bullshit — results zeroed out when controlling for very low birth

The (hopefully) saving grace for the Right is that prominent thinkers on the Right are willing to call BS on their own side. The Left has never been willing to do this. We'll see if this makes a difference.

A serious problem in the developing world is that the moment anyone makes anything, their family and relations show up demanding a claim. The "social tax" is so large that 60% of workers take a bank account they can't use for months, just to keep others from knowing! 1/

Is there any downside to increasing intelligence and conscientiousness? Like should we just abandon this politics stuff entirely and go all in on gene editing?

@MorlockP Almost unlimited appetite for anything wearing a science skinsuit which seeks to debunk HBD/IQ/Heredity. This was very popular over the weekend on Substack even though it's almost entirely nonsense. https://t.co/FU34Qh32g9

Reminder that usury is a sin. We could have mortgages and car loans without compound interest and amortization. Other places do it, it's definitely possible, and as Christians we should be pushing for this change.

The Left needs to learn- the problem with Nazi propaganda is that it was lies. Saying "Somalis are engaged in widespread fraud in Minneapolis" is true!

What the Trump administration is doing to Somalis now is exactly what the Nazis did to Jews in the 30s. And the fact that Miller and Fine are at the forefront of it is particularly sick.

The anti-immigration Right is a curious coalition of: 1) Xenophobes 2) Meticulous Statisticians We see both wanton lies about Indian Americans and obviously true statements about Somalis. The truth is of course that some immigrant groups are good and some are bad! We are

Indians Americans are genuinely some of the best immigrants we have around—highly educated, low crime rate, etc. But ethnonats want to hate more than they want the truth, so now they are openly distorting facts.

The heart of our Constitutional Crisis. The Left doesn't believe in the Constitution- the actual written words and norms. The only legitimate institutions are ones which conform to Liberal policy preferences.

People need to realize the Supreme Court has spent MOST of its history being a terrible institution that just rubber-stamps horrendous corruption, malfeasance, and violations of rights, and was only kind of functional as a pro-rule of law institution from the 1950s to the 1980s.

We crashed into the rock and there were two choices. Accept HBD or blame some invisible force. The Left obviously chose the latter (Systemic Racism), the mainstream Right chose neither.

Under theorized how this was the moment when the Conservative consensus blew up. For 30 years, Conservatives have tried to ignore HBD. We know this because GWB drove this ship of policy straight into the reality of HBD.

@exmormons_speak @Quaesitor121 @eigenrobot TBF: of the issues with NCLB, phonics was not one of them. The fundamental issue was believing that every kid could reach the same level of achievement & punishing teachers for outliers. The implementation simply made ever class as as smart as it's dumbest student.
