I've always wondered, we know that testosterone levels have an effect on people's behavior, preferences, and disposition. We know that men and women have, on average, different lev…

>Statistics have a well-known liberal bias. Especially FBI crime statistics.

Who’s an example?

I don’t think it’s remotely controversial that most violence is committed by young men. Most people in the world and in history would laugh at me for stating this, it’s so obvious.…

How can it be freedom? They don’t have a living wage, healthcare, education, etc- none of the things we consider necessary to be free.

I live in a van where my total expenses amount to $100/month; I quit my job the day I had accumulated enough savings to sustain this lifestyle indefinitely. The amount of money tha…

I understand the argument that, once free from work, a number of people will voluntarily choose to work as physicists or playwrights or mathematicians. What I haven’t understood, t…

It’s vastly different in Western countries. I’ve hooked up with girls from Tinder and have brought girls from parties or bars, but have never been on a date. Most people I (a 22 ye…

I'm not asking that. I often see the fact that people of color are overrepresented in the prison system presented as an example of their marginalization. If overrepresentation in p…

Isn't overrepresentation in the prison system an instance of marginalization? I often hear as cited as such regarding people of color.

Southern states are the most predominately black states in the country. Are you sure you want to bring this up?

1. Of course not, I referenced unintelligent wealthy people ("dumb nobility") in my post. 2. 70% of rich families lose their wealth by the second generation, 90% by the third. [A] …

1. No of course not, but if it's a factor at all we'd expect to see the pattern I described. 2. We're talking about social mobility, not the level of inequality.

One thing I've never understood- in a fair society in which people are not artificially limited, wouldn't we expect social mobility to decrease over time as successive generations …

"Gender quotas at board level in Europe have done little to boost corporate performance or to help women lower down" Isn't the article saying that they didn't work?
