Cf Robert Putnam's paper on Diversity. No one likes to look too long upon pretty lies. https://www.econlib.org/archives/2017/06/trust_and_diver.htm...

I know you HN fags are shadow banning me. Good like trying that "at scale."

Kansas City School Experiment and the power of selective amnesia.

At what point will any of the self-professed "friends of science" -- the majority of HN posters for that matter -- sack up and allow themselves to even entertain the possibility th…

Can someone point out the material difference(s) between the Asian quotas, which Harvard is stridently defending, and the Jewish quotas which were repealed and roundly reviled?

also hereditary high cognitive ability, i.e. population genetics. But you're not supposed to notice that because the Left wants Diversity (but without Disparity).

I think you're completely missing the artificial signaling that is at stake here. The scarcity is _by design_. Cf Brian Kaplan "The Case Against Education" https://www.amazon.com/C…

Your "post-truth" is my Narrative Collapse

Good! Next I hope they pass a law requiring all guys to compliment the homely wallflower once a day and not just mack on the hot chicks. To the barricades!

It would be remarkable that someone would fall on their sword like that today. It'll be another couple of years before "The Flippening", i.e. scientists looking to cement their leg…

"Personally I'm morally conflicted by these studies which measure intelligence." Are you, or your cohort fighting on the side of the angels, as morally conflicted by the treatment …

"Moreover, an overall overrepresentation of Asians are admitted" That was the case even with Jewish quotas, which were set to something like 15% of the student body. Still a 15x "o…

By analogy, the specific wavelength at which "orange" begins and ends is a ahem "social construct", ipso facto color has no scientific basis. Interesting that author of that piece …

And this is how a once venerable publication besmirches itself.

he wasn't referring to that one word, but the cadence and style of the her language in general.

I understand now why the Left prefers to simply shout down their opposition. Their "reasoning" is so transparently "not even wrong" that the only thing left to do is not interrupt …

"making the knowledge public can only lead to a sense of fatalism" that was also one of the arguments against a heliocentric view of the universe. Time was not kind to that positio…

Also Robin Hanson's elephant in the brain

China seems to develop infrastructure and cities overnight.

If only there were similarly breathless articles about the effective use of prophylactics. Otherwise, they're just going from the frying pan into the Malthusian fire.

Sure, but do you think those riots will come first: China or Land of the Free (Home of Depraved)?

"Africa: Is an entire continent, and reducing its 1.2 billion inhabitants to "where to begin" is incredibly insulting to their individual histories and experiences." Spare us the k…

We've also never had a nuclear war. So what was (is?) all the fuss about?

Mao had a Final Solution to solve the "problem" of assortative mating. But it didn't really stick, so I guess it'll have to be lobotomies all around.
