Are they tech savvy though? The "alt-right twitter" was prominantly hacked exposing a ton of personal information. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/03/gab-t...

Towards the end of the video he also calls up 1900s America as the period of time that best exemplifies capitalism, not surprisingly an era marked by extreme inequality.

This thread is not about the incarceration rate. At least my initial comment (the one you responded to) was not specifically about that. The point was that Milton Friedman threw ou…

At 13:42 Milton Friendman questions whether "socialism failed because it's good qualities were perverted by evil men" and goes on to claim that the both socialism and capitalism ha…

At about 8 minutes he starts talking about looking at the outcomes of the different systems. Specifically he brings up incarceration rates and inequality. It's interesting how poor…

Kai Ryssdal is horrible. Fluff piece after fluff piece and he prefaces all stories containing data with an extremely patronizing "dumb this down for you" speech.

Are you seriously implying that IQ tests are a clean measure of a biological trait? Heritability for IQ ranges from ~40-60% That's pitiful.

Or... you know, you've actually got a PhD in sociology and have read the research. This is armchair-pundit-bullshit akin to climate change denial. Everyone knows better than the re…

He's an engineer for Google (with a purported PhD from Harvard - likely to only be a MS) that wrote a 10 page article critiquing his company - specifically - for ignoring the scien…

There is significant scientific evidence that most of the differences in employment observed between women and men and minorities and white men can be explained by socialization. W…

If only he was "exploring the question in what appears to be a very scientific manner based on the latest academic research into these questions". The FIRST warning sign to anyone …

I mean. (1) would absolutely not be continued, obviously. (2) would be continued to completion. In science one is maximally conservative with positive results. Negative results can…

So their old MBPs have 32 GB? Have they just been unable to get anything done these past 40 years? The tech just isn't quite there yet. Next year.

It seems to me that the false dichotomy here is equating (fit or problem solver) and (gregarious or reserved). Gregarious/reserved are opposites by definition. "If you've believed …

The antagonistic pleiotropy theory actually advocates exactly that inverse correlation, more investment into young years for increased reproductive fitness at the expense of worse …

Considering that natural selection is generally considered to not operate on post-reproductive phenotype (prime case is antagonistic pleiotropy literature) I consider any conclusio…

Still doesn't make much sense to use a secondary trait like educational attainment (58% heritability at highest) over a primary one like IQ (>80% heritability). Most of these pheno…

No, I'm not proposing that at all, however, we certainly discourage people from having children at a young age. Military leadership could fairly easily adjust its recruitment pract…

>But they're mature enough to kill for and be killed for the national military (sometimes against their will), contribute to governmental policy decisions, and have children? I don…

Fully fledged citizen and adult are two concepts that deserve a distinction: http://hrweb.mit.edu/worklife/youngadult/brain.html Most 18 year olds are nowhere near mature enough to…

We're arguing exactly the design that you seem to be espousing. Taking into account cost, immaturity due to biological constraints at age 18-22 and rampant party culture, college i…

I don't really agree with the proposition that a university degree has anything to do with or should have anything to do with critical thinking skills. A university degree simply i…
