Except that studies of twins raised apart[1] calculate statistical IQ heritability in the range of 70% or more. Perhaps even more surprising, for the field of Psychology at least[2…

Theory and practice being quite different, I give you the precocious California youth from Pruneyard[0]. They won their 1A case against a private company that was a sort of platfor…

Right after we get a prepubescent transgender kid to approve the incoming secretary of education.. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2020/02/04/warrens...

As if some sizable chunk of “unarmed” person shot/killed by police aren’t going for the police officer’s gun or in some other way aggressively resisting arrest. The police are woef…

I have no ML background, I’m not trying to be overly critical, but why would the association go in that direction? Wouldn’t the model be the other way? Ie doctor is male and nurse …

Oh please! Forgive us for not taking seriously the ideas, on this subject, of a country that arrested and tried, multiple times, an elected parliamentarian for the recitation of pl…

> I worry that if governments can force companies to publish all opinions including the ones they don't agree with, then they can also force them to publish propaganda. Now do wedd…

Try being a 5' 100# woman walking home alone at night. Technology, in the form of a reliable and compact weapon, is the best way for her to bridge the very real divide of physical …

Name the countries that fit this description that don't also have strict entrance criteria? Criteria that also nearly invariably come with severe caps on the number of students tha…

Now factor in higher rates of IVF and other "late" pregnancies that I highly suspect we have more of in USA and would easily contribute to more deaths at/near birth from complicati…

I look forward to seeing your past or future statements regarding the same issue but for women, e.g. Women's Day, Mother's Day, Equal Pay Day, and myriad others. Informed people wi…

Where did you learn they were fake people? The article doesn't say it. The article definitely says they contacted several of these "fake people." Maybe they were candidates that ha…

Just because there have been high profile cases which fit the narrative of what you already believe doesn't mean that that is an accurate picture of reality. The data simply do not…

Given the significant and well documented population of people that voted blue in '12 and red in '16, your claims seem beyond extraordinary and into the land of fantasy. A wise man…

In line with the data we have for divorces, we see dramatically increased rate of out of wedlock childbearing over the same time periods being discussed: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/d…

I disagree, or perhaps I'm not following the generic people reference here, but it's not uncommon to be accused of being transphobic if you won't date a transgendered person who id…

children, guns, jobs.. take a back seat to cujo over here :) literally lol

The economy isn't in freefall, but if it were, it would be because of statewide lockdowns. States that impose fines or take away the license to do business if they dare open. In my…

Maybe you should re-read the post, the commenter didn't say "war on terror" or any formulation of it.

The article is astonishingly ignorant about how the process actually works. 1) Local election boards establish how many polling places, their location, the hours, who works there, …

Like so many hot topics today, it appears to be a pipeline problem. See USA's Department of Health and Human Services statistics (kind of old data is all I could find): https://asp…

"Person-"made if you please. Lest we forget a major part of this year's season was induced at a "gender reveal party".
