1Big Book of Facts:
2“15. Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of
3being strong, good and successful. They hate
4America, they hate Western civilization, they hate
5white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that
6leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not
7correspond with their real motives. They SAY they
8hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic,
9sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these
10same faults appear in socialist countries or in
11primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or
12at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist;
13whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and
14often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they
15appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that
16these faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating
17America and the West. He hates America and the
18West because they are strong and successful.
19
2016. Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance,"
21"initiative," "enterprise," "optimism," etc., play little
22role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is
23anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society
24to solve every one's problems for them, satisfy
25everyone's needs for them, take care of them. He is
26not the sort of person who has an inner sense of
27confidence in his ability to solve his own problems
28and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagohistic
29to the concept of competition because, deep inside,
30he feels like a loser.â€â€”Ted Kazinsky

34Divorce:
3570% of all allegations of abuse in divorce/custody battles are “unfounded†after investigations. Gimme a min and I’ll try to find the source.
36https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/8578086
37While meant to act as a safety mechanism in cases where domestic violence is present, the ease of obtaining an order of protection and the instant benefits it provides the alleging party has created a system ripe for abuse. In fact, up to 70 percent of cases involving allegations of abuse during custody disputes are deemed unnecessary or false.
38Clearly, protection orders that are meant to offer protection for those in serious situations are now being used as a weapon to turn the tide in divorce; a weapon that overwhelming targets men.

46For the first time, more than half (54%) of American women aged 25-29 are childless, as are nearly a third (31%) of women aged 30 to 34. By the end of our fertile years, about one sixth of women (17%) are childless.

63There are still a huge number of people around who don't understand what the much-quoted gender pay gap actually measures. More than half the population mistakenly thinks that the quoted gap ("77 cents for every dollar a man gets", or 81 cents or whatever number is being quoted today) is actually the difference for women in the same job, with the same skills and working the same hours.
64In other words, most people don't have the first clue about how crudely the "gender wage gap" is calculated.
65Often, a picture can drive the point home far better than words. So show them this chart, which should clear up their confusion.
66As you can see, the actual "like for like" gender pay gap in the UK is just 0.8%, which is a LOT less than the 19% - 23% that idiot feminists are always claiming.
67The worldwide average figure for the 33 countries covered in this study is 1.6%.
68Personally, my guess is that last remaining gap is due to women taking more vacation days per year, on average, than men do. To my knowledge, there have only been a couple of studies done on this topic. Both did find that women took more vacation days (even before they had kids), but the size of the difference varied quite a lot. More research is needed. Vacation time is one of very few personal choices not accounted for in this study, so it likely does contribute to that remaining gap.

75
76Oppression means "cruel or unjust treatment", and virtually all of our institutions are anti-male. Conversely, females are given a wide range of institutional privileges that males lack.
77Baby boys can be legally mutilated at birth. Their foreskins are then used for female beauty products.
78The education system discriminates against boys. They are often drugged for natural boyish behavior, and docility/conformity is rewarded. There is little in the way of "hands on" learning. Most teachers are female, many of whom are feminists.
79Universities have become hostile toward young men. While young women complain about "feeling unsafe", young men are subjected to kangaroo courts in which they can have their lives destroyed by a jilted ex lover. They are portrayed as rapists in waiting. Entire departments like gender studies demonize their sex. Scholarships favor young women even though they make up the majority of college students.
80Workplaces increasingly discriminate against white and asian males in the name of "diversity".
81The criminal justice system is much harsher on males than females. One study in the UK determined that if men were treated like women by the police and courts, 26 out of 36 incarcerated men would not be there.
82The family courts are a complete horror show. Men routinely lose the houses they have spent their lives paying for and lose access to their children. Imagine how many female suicides there would be if women were forced to subsidize their exes and his new "baby momma" while being denied access to their children.
83In many countries men are unable to vote unless they are subject to conscription.
84There is a rape culture alright -- feminists just have the sex wrong. Boys as young as twelve are told they should be happy when they are molested. Women are given slaps on the wrist for molesting boys. Female on male rape isn't even legally recognized in many countries. Men are routinely raped in prison. Boys are raped by female guards in juvenile detention centers. No one gives a shit.
85Domestic violence against males is not even recognized by many governments and charities. In fact men are often themselves arrested when they call the police after being abused.
86False accusations by women are seldom punished. A man can be terrorized over the mere threat of a false accusation of rape or domestic violence.
87Men work longer hours, pay the majority of taxes and die younger yet receive less services by the state, including health care funding.
88Men are now being accused of "sexual misconduct" and having their lives destroyed for completely trivial behavior (like the PBS guy who was fired for putting a hand on a woman's back).
89Major media institutions are openly anti-male.
90When men are suffering they are victim-blamed and told it's due to "toxic masculinity." On the one hand feminists demand that men and boys act more like women, yet most women find feminine men sexually unattractive. Similarly, men are blamed for trying to earn more money than women, yet women continue to seek out partners who earn more than they do.
91Some homeless shelters reject men even though men make up the vast majority of rough sleepers.
92Every aspect of a man's life is now being policed by feminists, up to the way men naturally sit.
93Globally men are much more likely to be killed in wars and genocides.
94I could go on indefinitely. Not only is the feminist movement past its sell date, they are working to establish female supremacy and male subjugation in every aspect of human existence. They should be regarded in the same manner as the Ku Klux Klan.
95The reason they are able to continue their outrageous campaigns is because the majority of CEO's and politicians are male. However, it should be painfully obvious at this point that men in power do not try to "privilege" other men. Quite the opposite in fact. Both men and women favor women.
96We are not living in a patriarchy. We are living in a gynocracy.

121Friendly reminder that the further you get from mean IQ, the more that men outnumber women - in both directions. There are fewer influential women in history because there are biologically fewer women who have the capacity to be influential. This is also why more men are violent criminals - more male retards than female, because nature can't chance having caretakers that are too dumb so it hedges its bets with women and treats men like a laboratory experiment.
122At 135 IQ, men outnumber women two to one. Among people with 170 IQ, of which there are very few, men outnumber women ten to one. This number increases radically as you get even higher. It is likely that there has never truly been a woman born with 180+ IQ (Notice how women reported to have god-tier IQs like Marilyn Savant or Judit Polgar have achieved practically nothing noteworthy - no creative thoughts, no discoveries, no world-beating achievements) though admittedly at those power levels measuring intelligence gets tricky.

210Diversity:
211The Scientific Council for Government Policy (in Dutch: Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid, WRR) released a scientific report this week, which shows that ethnic diversity negatively impacts social cohesion.
212
213Full report (in Dutch) here:
214https://www.wrr.nl/publicaties/verkenningen/2018/05/29/de-nieuwe-verscheidenheid
215
216Translated from the full report (page 87):
217Our analysis shows that, when a neighbourhood becomes more diverse, it becomes less socially cohesive. This result is significant. Social-economic factors have been taken into account. Although the social-economic status of a neighbourhood impacts cohesion, the impact of diversity on social cohesion IS LARGER THAN THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL ECONOMIC STATUS.

226See the Email Pluribus Unum study by Robert Putnam. A much larger dataset of polities in the US shows the same thing. Interestingly enough it correlates with racial diversity. Diverse areas vote less, volunteer less, join Civic and social groups less and have less dense social networks even among their own race.

228All that diversity increases is television viewership and (((awareness of political issues))) but for the later the means to resolve them are depreciated in diverse hoods.

247Economics:
248Behavioral economics (particularly when reconciled with neuroscience and rigorous psychometrics) is actually pretty provocative. However for it to be useful, the social scientists would have to accept the premise that all their equalism is nonsense and that things like race and gender are real. Until then, they're just engaging in ad hoc rationalization. (no source, look it up)

261One of the more intellectually sinister arguments for letting illegal aliens stay in the country seems to be the following: You cannot deport them when they are children because they are too young. You cannot deport them when they are adults because this is the only country they know.
262It's de facto amnesty for children and their parents who of course cannot be deported because of the children. And it's done to build a voting block of poor, government dependent lower class citizens who vote Democrat and drive down labor costs for big businesses. At the end of the day, middle America suffers for the political and monetary greed of a relative few.
263Congressional seats are predicated on total population not total citizen population. Illegal aliens count towards congressional seats, giving high illegal alien states overrepresentation in Congress.

273Under Trump ICE has shifted focus towards employers. He made the campaign promise and now ICE has quadrupled the focus on employers.
274BUT 1986: Employer sanctions and interior enforcement
275The Border Patrol's priorities have changed over the years. In 1986, the Immigration Reform and Control Act placed renewed emphasis on controlling illegal immigration by going after the employers that hire illegal aliens. The belief was that jobs were the magnet that attracted most illegal aliens to come to the United States. The Border Patrol increased interior enforcement and Form I-9 audits of businesses through an inspection program known as "employer sanctions". Several agents were assigned to interior stations, such as within the Livermore Sector in Northern California.
276Employer sanctions never became the effective tool it was expected to be by Congress. Illegal immigration continued to swell after the 1986 amnesty despite employer sanctions. By 1993, Californians passed Proposition 187, denying benefits to illegal aliens and criminalizing illegal aliens in possession of forged green cards, identification cards, and Social Security numbers. It also authorized police officers to question non-nationals as to their immigration status and required police and sheriff departments to cooperate and report illegal aliens to the INS. Proposition 187 drew nationwide attention to illegal immigration.

279Please don't fall for the trick of calling illegal aliens immigrants. It lets dishonest creeps frame wanting people to follow the legal process as anti immigrant since people who arrive here or are staying here using extra legal means are now what the word immigrant means. It's just a shitty gaslighting tactic.
280Immigrants don't need sanctuary. They are citizens. Illegal non citizens are who the sanctuary is for.
281I'm not sure what world you're living in but you're not allowed to hire non citizens. You're not allowed to house them either. That's two new crimes that happen with every single illegal alien (unless they don't work.) If they do work, then they are being payed under the table (dodging several regulations like work safety and min wage often. Unknown number of laws broken here) or they could be using identity theft so they would be able to work utilizing this fraud. There's also the mire of illegal housing units and practices that they get involved with since they're not supposed to be rented to in the first place, so they can't go complain to the state that their landlord isn't following regulations.
282I'm sure there's plenty of other problems that are much worse than I mentioned, but that's a handful of crimes that happen with just about every non citizen who is here illegally no matter how good of a person they are. I'm not even bringing up the way they affect the economy. I just want you to recognize that they definitively cause crime to increase wherever they go because of what I outlined. Unless you want to tell yourself that those things aren't crimes...

292Liberals push for multiculturalism without thinking of the consequences. White kids at age 5 do well naturally but then get pushed down by foreigners like Roma Gypsies or Pakistanis. It takes extra time and money to teach English as a 2nd language. Some cultures do not even place an emphasis on education and instead prefer to be dependent on welfare. Mohammed Salim has 11 children and has no plans to work because he gets free money from taxpayers. America will get dragged down to the average of all nations.

363– “The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentric Cooperationâ€
364Recent agent-based computer simulations suggest that ethnocentrism, often thought to rely on complex social cognition and learning, may have arisen through biological evolution. From a random start, ethnocentric strategies dominate other possible strategies (selfish, traitorous, and humanitarian) based on cooperation or non-cooperation with in-group and out-group agents. Here we show that ethnocentrism eventually overcomes its closest competitor, humanitarianism, by exploiting humanitarian cooperation across group boundaries as world population saturates.

471A psychotic, racist revenge fantasy seems like an excellent use of $40,000+ worth of taxpayer funding. I'm sure the majority-white theatre audience will get a deeply masochistic thrill paying top dollar for tickets to watch the simulated butchering of "white meat".
472The play blends "high-octane stage action†with “heart-pumping visualsâ€. Actor Ash Flanders plays “every single white person she needs to killâ€. “You’ll be laughing out loud one second, squirming in your seat the next,†it says. “Your white meat is DONE, motherf**ker.â€

482Critical Race Theory calls for “aggressive, color conscious efforts to change the way things are.†It contemplates, “race-conscious decision making as a routine, non-deviant mode, a more or less permanent norm†to be used in distributing positions of wealth, prestige, and power.
483Critical Race Theory treats the idea of meritocracy—or the idea, in this context, that the law can and should treat all equally regardless of the color of their skin—as “a vehicle for self-interest, power, and privilege". This “myth of meritocracy†is merely a tool to perpetuate the existing power structures that are based on white supremacy and white privilege. Thus, the myth of meritocracy marginalizes people of color. The only alternative, then, is to use racial preferences to “delegitimize the property interest of whiteness—to dismantle the actual and expected privilege that has attended ‘white’ skin.â€
484Critical Race Theory “rejects the traditions of liberalism.â€

509I wonder if it will come up that Harvard is 26% Jewish and the Ivy league as a whole is 23% Jewish, despite Jews making up 2% of the population.
510Ron Unz, himself Jewish, calculated based off National Merit numbers thay Jews make up only 6% of high achieving high school seniors and non Jewish Whites make up 70%.
511Depsite this, non-Jewish Whites make up 18% of Harvard and 23% of the ivy league.
512Harvard discriminates against Asians, but surely this is evidence that it discriminates against non-Jewish Whites too?
513Thing is, Unz corrected for that Jewish IQ advantage (IQ is something he's also big on), see e.g. his "The Myth of American Meritocracy; How corrupt are Ivy League admissions?". This IQ advantage could of course explain a significant disparity, but not 2% to ~25%.
514
515Black people with the lowest GPAs and MCAT scores are 2x as likely to get into med school than whites and Asians with average GPAs and MCAT scores, and 10x as likely as whites and Asians with similarly low scores. Fucking sad. Demand a white or Asian doctor!

530Genetics and sociology have long been in a tug of war, with advocacy for the primary fo fact and ideology by the former and the latter respectively. We have often heard that race is just a social construct by dogmatists, but how much truth is there to that when doctors have to take into account what someone's race is to give proper treatment?
531I won't be able to abridge the article, since nearly all of it is so useful. Here you can find it without my commentary
532.
533David Reich, professor of genetics at Harvard University, argues that:
534If scientists avoid discussing the topic candidly, racist theories will fill the vacuum.
535And that's true enough. Let's look at some of the valuable things he has to say in his article (as well as some of the dubious things, which are rare).
536Beginning in 1972, genetic findings began to be incorporated into this argument. That year, the geneticist Richard Lewontin published an important study of variation in protein types in blood. He grouped the human populations he analyzed into seven “races†— West Eurasians, Africans, East Asians, South Asians, Native Americans, Oceanians and Australians — and found that around 85 percent of variation in the protein types could be accounted for by variation within populations and “races,†and only 15 percent by variation across them. To the extent that there was variation among humans, he concluded, most of it was because of “differences between individuals.â€
537In this way, a consensus was established that among human populations there are no differences large enough to support the concept of “biological race.†Instead, it was argued, race is a “social construct,†a way of categorizing people that changes over time and across countries.
538It is true that race is a social construct. It is also true, as Dr. Lewontin wrote, that human populations “are remarkably similar to each other†from a genetic point of view.
539But over the years this consensus has morphed, seemingly without questioning, into an orthodoxy. The orthodoxy maintains that the average genetic differences among people grouped according to today’s racial terms are so trivial when it comes to any meaningful biological traits that those differences can be ignored.
540This claim is not exactly incorrect: it's always important to judge people solely as individuals. But people have drawn rather extreme conclusions from it. The fact that there is more genetic variation within than between races in no way proves that race is not a valid category. There surely is more genetic difference within the two genders, but... oh damn, they don't believe that either.
541I have deep sympathy for the concern that genetic discoveries could be misused to justify racism. But as a geneticist I also know that it is simply no longer possible to ignore average genetic differences among “races.â€
542Groundbreaking advances in DNA sequencing technology have been made over the last two decades. These advances enable us to measure with exquisite accuracy what fraction of an individual’s genetic ancestry traces back to, say, West Africa 500 years ago — before the mixing in the Americas of the West African and European gene pools that were almost completely isolated for the last 70,000 years. With the help of these tools, we are learning that while race may be a social construct, differences in genetic ancestry that happen to correlate to many of today’s racial constructs are real.
543Recent genetic studies have demonstrated differences across populations not just in the genetic determinants of simple traits such as skin color, but also in more complex traits like bodily dimensions and susceptibility to diseases. For example, we now know that genetic factors help explain why northern Europeans are taller on average than southern Europeans, why multiple sclerosis is more common in European-Americans than in African-Americans, and why the reverse is true for end-stage kidney disease.
544I am worried that well-meaning people who deny the possibility of substantial biological differences among human populations are digging themselves into an indefensible position, one that will not survive the onslaught of science. I am also worried that whatever discoveries are made — and we truly have no idea yet what they will be — will be cited as “scientific proof†that racist prejudices and agendas have been correct all along, and that those well-meaning people will not understand the science well enough to push back against these claims.
545There could also be another reason to push back against this, namely that 'the noble lie' is not a way to deal with people who are relying on you for information. If there is an issue, tell us about it and properly contextualize it. Still, this is an improvement over the point of view that information about genetic differences will inevitably transform people into Hitlers.
546Self-identified African-Americans turn out to derive, on average, about 80 percent of their genetic ancestry from enslaved Africans brought to America between the 16th and 19th centuries. My colleagues and I searched, in 1,597 African-American men with prostate cancer, for locations in the genome where the fraction of genes contributed by West African ancestors was larger than it was elsewhere in the genome. In 2006, we found exactly what we were looking for: a location in the genome with about 2.8 percent more African ancestry than the average.
547When we looked in more detail, we found that this region contained at least seven independent risk factors for prostate cancer, all more common in West Africans. Our findings could fully account for the higher rate of prostate cancer in African-Americans than in European-Americans. We could conclude this because African-Americans who happen to have entirely European ancestry in this small section of their genomes had about the same risk for prostate cancer as random Europeans.
548Did this research rely on terms like “African-American†and “European-American†that are socially constructed, and did it label segments of the genome as being probably “West African†or “European†in origin? Yes. Did this research identify real risk factors for disease that differ in frequency across those populations, leading to discoveries with the potential to improve health and save lives? Yes.
549One could put it another way: political correctness costs lives.
550While most people will agree that finding a genetic explanation for an elevated rate of disease is important, they often draw the line there. Finding genetic influences on a propensity for disease is one thing, they argue, but looking for such influences on behavior and cognition is another.
551But whether we like it or not, that line has already been crossed. A recent study led by the economist Daniel Benjamin compiled information on the number of years of education from more than 400,000 people, almost all of whom were of European ancestry. After controlling for differences in socioeconomic background, he and his colleagues identified 74 genetic variations that are over-represented in genes known to be important in neurological development, each of which is incontrovertibly more common in Europeans with more years of education than in Europeans with fewer years of education.
552It's good to have more information about specific genes, but of course, this won't be a surprise to anyone who knows anything about intelligence research. Intelligence is largely heritable. It has very weak correlations with non-adoptive parents. And while we all know about smart children born to stupid parents, that is not exactly the rule - correlation reigns supreme.
553Is performance on an intelligence test or the number of years of school a person attends shaped by the way a person is brought up? Of course. But does it measure something having to do with some aspect of behavior or cognition? Almost certainly. And since all traits influenced by genetics are expected to differ across populations (because the frequencies of genetic variations are rarely exactly the same across populations), the genetic influences on behavior and cognition will differ across populations, too.
554He is now entering very dangerous territory that got intelligence researcher Arthur Jensen and libertarian political scientist Charles Murray branded as 'white nationalists' by the Southern Poverty Law Center. I wonder why they are not branded as 'Asian nationalists' or 'Jewish nationalists' (they are not Jewish) for pointing out that whites are, on average, inferior in terms of intelligence compared to Asians and Ashkenazi Jews.
555You will sometimes hear that any biological differences among populations are likely to be small, because humans have diverged too recently from common ancestors for substantial differences to have arisen under the pressure of natural selection. This is not true. The ancestors of East Asians, Europeans, West Africans and Australians were, until recently, almost completely isolated from one another for 40,000 years or longer, which is more than sufficient time for the forces of evolution to work. Indeed, the study led by Dr. Kong showed that in Iceland, there has been measurable genetic selection against the genetic variations that predict more years of education in that population just within the last century.
556This was actually a surprise to me. Since so many fewer people die nowadays, I did not expect there to be that much selection pressure left.
557He goes a bit off the rails and he starts ranting about 'racist stereotypes' allegedly promoted by Nicholas Wade and Nobel prize winner James Watson - apparently getting him fired, persecution him and forcing him to force his Nobel prize to get by was not sufficient.
558To understand why it is so dangerous for geneticists and anthropologists to simply repeat the old consensus about human population differences, consider what kinds of voices are filling the void that our silence is creating. Nicholas Wade, a longtime science journalist for The New York Times, rightly notes in his 2014 book, “A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History,†that modern research is challenging our thinking about the nature of human population differences. But he goes on to make the unfounded and irresponsible claim that this research is suggesting that genetic factors explain traditional stereotypes.
559One of Mr. Wade’s key sources, for example, is the anthropologist Henry Harpending, who has asserted that people of sub-Saharan African ancestry have no propensity to work when they don’t have to because, he claims, they did not go through the type of natural selection for hard work in the last thousands of years that some Eurasians did. There is simply no scientific evidence to support this statement. Indeed, as 139 geneticists (including myself) pointed out in a letter to The New York Times about Mr. Wade’s book, there is no genetic evidence to back up any of the racist stereotypes he promotes.
560This is very interesting. No such claim is made in the book that I can find. The only times when Harpending or his work is cited is when Jewish intelligence is discussed, as well as one of his quotes about whether or not human genetic differences are large or small. I wonder whether this is an attempt at guilt by association by Reich, and to very strongly suggest - without outright saying - that it's Wade echoing this claim.
561At a meeting a few years later, Dr. Watson said to me and my fellow geneticist Beth Shapiro something to the effect of “When are you guys going to figure out why it is that you Jews are so much smarter than everyone else?†He asserted that Jews were high achievers because of genetic advantages conferred by thousands of years of natural selection to be scholars, and that East Asian students tended to be conformist because of selection for conformity in ancient Chinese society. (Contacted recently, Dr. Watson denied having made these statements, maintaining that they do not represent his views; Dr. Shapiro said that her recollection matched mine.)
562In fact, I'll one-up you and say that it may be that the Chinese are more intelligence because of positive pressure from the examination system. If people are advantaged based on their ability to read and understand certain texts, then they will reproduce more than a place where you get an advantage by bashing each other's skull in, like most of medieval Europe for that matter. Of course, this is hardly a bulletproof hypothesis, as this does not explain why the Japanese and Koreans are also more intelligent than whites (on average), when they did not have the examination system.
563If scientists can be confident of anything, it is that whatever we currently believe about the genetic nature of differences among populations is most likely wrong. For example, my laboratory discovered in 2016, based on our sequencing of ancient human genomes, that “whites†are not derived from a population that existed from time immemorial, as some people believe. Instead, “whites†represent a mixture of four ancient populations that lived 10,000 years ago and were each as different from one another as Europeans and East Asians are today.
564This is interesting. One of them must lack a soul, and be overrepresented among Gallic populations.
565For me, a natural response to the challenge is to learn from the example of the biological differences that exist between males and females. The differences between the sexes are far more profound than those that exist among human populations, reflecting more than 100 million years of evolution and adaptation. Males and females differ by huge tracts of genetic material — a Y chromosome that males have and that females don’t, and a second X chromosome that females have and males don’t.
566This comes about 2/3 into the article. Reich is rather lucky, because today the claim that females have a second X-chromosome is very controversial. Not to mention the fact that we are a sexually dimorphic species.
567Most everyone accepts that the biological differences between males and females are profound. In addition to anatomical differences, men and women exhibit average differences in size and physical strength. (There are also average differences in temperament and behavior, though there are important unresolved questions about the extent to which these differences are influenced by social expectations and upbringing.)
568You can see this guy is from the hard sciences. He does not often encounter the delusional lunatics we do.
569How do we accommodate the biological differences between men and women? I think the answer is obvious: We should both recognize that genetic differences between males and females exist and we should accord each sex the same freedoms and opportunities regardless of those differences.
570The same freedoms and opportunities. I think everyone sane agrees with that.
571It is clear from the inequities that persist between women and men in our society that fulfilling these aspirations in practice is a challenge.
572Note that he says inequities and not inequalities. I'm not entirely sure what he's talking about, but I don't think he necessarily supports the idea that any difference in outcome is necessarily an inequity - that would be ridiculous considering he himself points out that there differences between XX and XY are massive and enormous. And they are.
573An abiding challenge for our civilization is to treat each human being as an individual and to empower all people, regardless of what hand they are dealt from the deck of life. Compared with the enormous differences that exist among individuals, differences among populations are on average many times smaller, so it should be only a modest challenge to accommodate a reality in which the average genetic contributions to human traits differ.
574It is important to face whatever science will reveal without prejudging the outcome and with the confidence that we can be mature enough to handle any findings. Arguing that no substantial differences among human populations are possible will only invite the racist misuse of genetics that we wish to avoid.

646Rape Investigation Handbook
647Ultimately, we are left to conclude that there is no published study or data to support any claim that the false rape allegation rate is or was ever down around 2%; not anywhere, even from those who cited that number originally. Rather, it comes from a judge giving a speech to some attorneys almost 40 years ago whose source has, to date, not been identiï¬ed or confirmed.
648
649It is not inappropriate to suggest that it is time we move forward and away from the citation of this figure to more contemporary and reliable scientiï¬c data.
650
651Published Research: There has been some research specific to the area of falsely reported rapes, resulting in published figures ranging from 8 to 41%:
652
6531. MacDonald (1973) provided false report rates for 1968: they were 18% nationwide and 25% in Denver, Colorado
654
6552. Greenfield (1997), quoting US. Bureau of Justice Statistics, provided a nationwide false report rate of 8% in 1995 and 15% in 1997
656
6573. Brown and colleagues (1997) conducted research to address the issue of genital injury in female sexual assault victims presenting to the San Luis Obispo General Hospital emergency room in California between 1985 and 1993. Their study revealed a false report rate of just over 13%, involving women who ultimately removed themselves from the research being conducted
658
6594. Kanin (1994), in his study of an unnamed Midwestern city in the United States, revealed a 41% false report rate.
660
6615. Kennedy and Witkowski (2000), in their attempt to replicate the Kanin study in a suburb of Detroit, found a false report rate of 32% between 1988 and 1997.
662
6636. In April 2002, Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary published â€A Report on the Joint Inspection into the Investigation and Prosecution of Cases Involving Allegations of Rape.†The report revealed that, out of 1379 cases studied, 11.8% were false reports.
664
6657. Lea and associates (2003) gathered data in a constabulary in the southwest of England from 1996 to 2000, They revealed an 11% false report rate.
666
6678. Jordan (2004) studied police rape and sexual assault files in New Zealand The study revealed a false report rate of 41%.
668
669These numbers, while varying by location and year, combine to suggest that false reports of rape are not rare, but common. The authors are not suggesting that these numbers be used predicatively to infer that false reporting is more or less likely in a given case. Rather, we are suggesting that this illustrates the need for due process and impartial investigations in cases of alleged sexual assault.

679https://www.scribd.com/document/368688363/James-Damore-vs-Google-Class-Action-Lawsuit#fullscreen&from_embed
680Some of the things from Damore's lawsuit, if verified as being true, are pretty awful.
681The lawsuit allegations include:
682• Google brought in Ruth Porat and Eileen Naughton for the weekly "TGIF meeting" on March 30, 2017. During this event, either Porat/Naughton shamed the departments within Google where less than half of the workforce was made up of women (bullet point 30).
683• At the "Diversity and Inclusion Summit", Google stated their definition of "diverse": Women who were not Caucasian or Asian (bullet point 36).
684• After the aforementioned summit, Google held "Diversity Training", which was split into two parts: Online course, and in-person training. In-person training was known as "Bias Busting", which discussed the existence of white male privilege in the workplace as well as biases against women (bullet point 60).
685• George Sadlier, a Director at Google, mass-emailed Google to condemn Damore's memo as "repulsive and intellectually dishonest". Damore received an email the following day from Alex Hidalgo, calling him "a misogynist and a terrible person" and threatened to hound him "until one [of them was] fired. Fuck you" (bullet point 67).
686• Chuck Wu, Senior Director of Engineering for Google, terminated Damore's employment for "perpetuating gender stereotypes" in his memo. Damore attempted to explain why this was unlawful, and Meghana Rao, from Google HR, stated that there would be no discussion (bullet point 72).
687• The Google Recognition Team awarded "Peer Bonuses", usually reserved for outstanding work performances, to people who argued against Damore's political views. One email received by Simone Wu congratulated her for “speaking up for googley values and promoting [diversity and inclusion] in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is [Damore’s Memo].†(bullet points 74-76).
688• High-ranking SRE Director Colm Buckley stated that "there are certain "alternative views, including different political views" which he "intend[ed] to silence" because they are "violently offensive" (bullet point 77).
689• David Gudeman was called to Google HR after responding to Kim Burchett's document "Derailing", which discussed how people might try to silence others opinions, supposedly aimed at white Caucasian males. He was issued a verbal warning for "attempting to stand up to Caucasian males and his conservative views" (bullet points 80-89)
690• Gudeman had a conversation with a Google employee shortly after Trump's election victory. He complained "about being a conservative and a Trump supporter", pointing out that his kind were "a hated and despised minority at Google". He was accused of gaslighting. Gudeman was later terminated over comments about Sarmad Gilani, in which Google accused him of accusing Gilani of terrorism. (bullet points 101-104)
691• A Site Reliability Manager discovered that one of Google's employees supported Trump. The employee later expressed concerns about the mistreatment of conservatives by Google, at which the SRM stormed off. Months later, the SRM falsely accused him of participating in a doxxing campaign in order to sabotage his annual performance review. He later emailed all 80000 employees to brag about this meeting. Though these threats were reported to Google HR, Google did not make the manager apologize or retract his threats. The same manager repeated some threats to bloggers in support of Damore, and Google did nothing. (bullet points 113-122).
692• Adam Fletcher, Jame McGuire and Nori Heikkinen, all SRE Managers, publicly endorsed blacklisting conservatives from employement opportunities at Google (bullet point 128)
693• Conservative blogger Curtis Yarvin, who reportedly advised Steve Bannon, entered the Google office to have lunch with an employee. Apparently, his presence triggered a silent alarm, and security personnel escorted him off. Other conservative personalities, including Alex Jones, were on this blacklist. One employee asked Google HR to have these people removed. HR responded by blocking the blacklist's contents from everybody. (bullet points 149-151).
694• Two conservative Googlers criticized a feminist blog post in mid-2015. Andy Carrel suggested that "we should just try laying off these people". Others, such as Chris Lewis, called them "poisonous assholes". Google HR received these name-calls, and claimed that they were not policy violations. (bullet point 152-155)
695• Liz Fong-Jones, an SRE Manager, discriminated against white men, claiming she "could care less about being 'unfair' to" them. Others joined in in support of her. (bullet point 156)
696• Exhibit B provides a collection of anti-conservative postings (page 74-111), a collection of "Google endorsing political violence" (page 112-119). A lot of "punch a Nazi" comments which, of course, compare Trump supporters to Nazis and implies that it's an excuse to punch them. There's a meme that says "If you want to increase diversity at Google, fire all the bigoted white men", a comment that says "The only way we "move past color" in America is for white people to shut up and listen". There's also a collection of anti-Caucasian postings (page 120-134) and reactions to Damore's memo (page 135-151)

726China:
727
728Satellite data strongly suggests that China, Russia and other authoritarian countries are fudging their GDP reports
729China, Russia and other authoritarian countries inflate their official GDP figures by anywhere from 15 to 30 percent in a given year, according to a new analysis of a quarter-century of satellite data.
730The working paper, by Luis R. Martinez of the University of Chicago, also found that authoritarian regimes are especially likely to artificially boost their gross domestic product numbers in the years before elections, and that the differences in GDP reporting between authoritarian and non-authoritarian countries can't be explained by structural factors, such as urbanization, composition of the economy or access to electricity.
731Oh, no, they don't fudge their numbers; they flat out make them up.
732From a 2015 article in US news and world Report:
733China's own premier has previously said he's far from confident in the country's GDP estimates, calling them "man-made" and unreliable, according to a leaked document from 2007 obtained by WikiLeaks. He said government data releases, especially the GDP numbers, should be used "for reference only."
734Lot of folks in geopolitics have been saying that about China for years. Its a country with a population of a billion citizens with standards of living of a third world country The Average Median Income in China is about same as Libya or Nicaragua. That's half the working population (mostly rural workers) making about $2000 a year, a standard of living not significantly distinguishable from Ghana. And the wealth gap is a particular danger because, like at every period of growth in Chinese history, its all concentrated at the coasts and the further inland you get the more like it is to travel back in time. This isn't like going from San Francisco, California to Grant's Pass, Oregon where you can expect to find first world standards of living in either case (just with fewer luxuries in the interior). No country that size with a wealth disparity that significant is making the kind of money they say they are. Its entirely possible that Japan is still the second largest economy on Earth, and if they aren't right now, they will be when the next recession comes and China's economic and social problems become a lot harder to hide.

758This is the country that loudly proclaimed that its citizens would be allowed freedom of movement within its borders, a freedom enjoyed by practically every country on earth except for China!... then had to walk it back when they realized they couldn't handle it.

775The only way to avoid this (for any foreign company) is through a joint venture with a Chinese company, which means Tesla would have to share their intellectual properties and technology with Chinese partners, as well as dropping “Tesla†for a Chinese name.

782Chinese students do well on tests that require rote memorization, and I would say this is true for most of the East Asian countries. They’re really good at regurgitating information. But they have a hard time coming up with their own creative ideas. This is why Americans who say we are falling behind Asia in education are misguided. We should follow the methods of European countries like Finland, which is ranked very highly on par with East Asia.
783EDIT: Since I apparently need to say this. It is a factual statement to say that East Asian countries rely on rote memorization.

814I love how every time these idiots talk about "privilege" its always used as a weapon against white people and men. Meanwhile it sure is fuck aint white people who have affirmative action, race based grants and race segregated clubs because when whites do it its "racist". Same thing with gender. Women are far more privileged in western society. They get a hand up in every aspect of life, are given women only grants and provided women only spaces. They are greatly benefited in the eyes of the law being treated as first class citizens over men and have several rights that men do not. They have shelters and help lines and yet we are constantly told to think of the women more and more.

820Native Americans, Genocide is too strong a term. But there were actions that might constitute acts of genocide or ethnic cleansing. We do have evidence of extreme violence from before Columbus. Archeologists have found mass graves and burial sites where the bones show obvious signs of trauma from arrows or axes. Plenty of tribes would go around raiding and wiping out other people or stealing their meager belongings. The Comanches and Apaches were pretty nasty towards anyone near them. The Aztecs would enslave people and use war captives in ritual sacrifices. People found giant piles of skulls in Mesoamerica. Natives in the Pacific Northwest would take prisoners of war and use them as slaves. Scalping, stealing women, revenge killing, mutilation, and burning people were all common tactics for certain Natives. At the same time some were much more peaceful and passive towards neighbors, others were far more warlike. Random attacks on peaceful settlers are not modern myths.
821The Europeans essentially broke millennia old stalemates. Some tribes that traded with the Europeans for guns took them and completely wiped out their enemies, or forced them out of the eastern woodlands onto the prairies. A middle of the road estimate of the population of the Americas in 1500 would be around 57 million. Its now pretty well established that Old World diseases caused a 75-95% population die off after the initial contact with the Spanish.
822The Spanish were probably too few in numbers to have committed a genocide against the people of the Caribbean. We have written records of people going out and killing natives for fun or using them in forced labor. Columbus was actually fired as the Governor of the Indies by the Spanish crown and briefly spent time in jail because of his brutality. But we also have good evidence that Old World diseases the natives had no immunity to were what did the job. Measles, mumps, influenza, black plague, smallpox and fever ravaged across the continent in multiple waves. Indeed, there is only one confirmed instance in all the history of the New Wold of Europeans trying to intentionally infect natives with smallpox.
823Saying the whites committed a genocide is also probably too strong. Forced relocations, forced sterilizations, attempts at slavery(which almost always failed), and random attacks by settlers on peaceful people would probably constitute acts of genocide, but there never seemed to be an overarching national goal to terminate indigenous people. By the time the Indian Wars were over the US census bureau estimated that the data toll on both sides was about 30-45,000. Most of the "wars" were brief skirmishes between either militias and the US military and some local natives that would result in a few hundred deaths.
824
825Poor people typically have bad spending habits. No one denies that, when adjusting for their salary, that some costs exceed those of higher income simply due to lower salary = higher cost distributions on equal services. But even outside of that, low income populations still usually spend outside of a budget, gamble more often, consume more tobacco and alcohol, don't put anything into savings, do more "spontaneous purchases," and consume luxuries outside of their means. While it's a whole other topic to make that into a criticism or psychological analysis in any way, I'd say these are some absolute behavioral correlations.

881Well, as a white man myself, allow me my contrary opinion regarding diversity and equal rights.
882I have no problem with them either so long as they service the story and characters. What does making Lando a pan-sexual add to the character? Did he NEED to be pan-sexual? How is this going to benefit the mythos around him? These are the questions they should've considered. What ANY storyteller and writer should consider before making race, sex and orientation the focal point.
883So far, I've seen no justification for giving Lando this label other than as to manufacture appeal to a demographic. That's my problem with the diversity and equality being pushed today.
884Now you predictably stated that white men have had hundreds of years of stories focusing on people looking like us. Here's a fact: We white men, women and children treated them like CHARACTERS. Followed their exploits, watched them develop. Their stories were meant to be universal. Hence why, and I'm sure you'll find this shocking, they endure and appeal organically to others of different colors, races, cultures and creeds. Was Captain Ahab, Guy Montag, Peter Pan, Alice, Odysseus, Bilbo, and other classic protagonists simply "White People"? NO, they were, and are, still fascinating and endearing characters. We didn't care about their race because we were too engrossed in their development and story progression.
885You, however, are the opposite: Taking a characteristic beyond their control and judging them solely from that. Big no-no.
886This is where diversity and equality are faltering: Putting those characteristics front and center while ignoring character development and good story. If everything fails, they accuse fans of racism, sexism and any other 'ism that's vogue these days. I don't agree with that one bit. Give me story, character and some semblance of a coherent plot. Don't start enforcing gender or race quotas then deride me for pointing it out.

892IQ and education, IQ and race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY4sShDt9to
893
894Although these discrimination hypotheses have wide appeal, they have received fairly little support in empirical studies, for IQ and crime are significantly correlated within race and class groups as well as when statistically controlling for race, class, test-taking ability, and test-taking motivation (e.g., Hirschi and Hindelang; Lynam et al.).
895A final argument against IQ holds that even if all people commit crime with equal frequency, less intelligent people would be less able to evade detection and would be arrested more often. This detection hypothesis has received some empirical support in that IQ scores tend to correlate more strongly with officially recorded crime than self-reported crime. However, most studies still find a significant correlation between IQ and self-reported crime, which is not easily explained by differential police detection (e.g., Moffitt and Silva).
896A more recent, and more compelling, causal explanation emphasizes the importance of intelligence—especially verbal intelligence—during childhood socialization. The socialization of children involves constant verbal communication and comprehension of abstract symbols; therefore, children with poor verbal and cognitive skills have greater difficulty completing the socialization process, which puts them at risk of undercontrolled, antisocial behavior. Empirical studies overall have supported this developmental hypothesis (Moffitt, p. 116), and it fits with the especially strong correlation between verbal IQ and crime.
897A final causal explanation links IQ to crime through school performance. Less intelligent students do less well in school, which results in academic frustration. This frustration, in turn, weakens their attachment and commitment to schooling, and a weakened bond to school, as per social control theory, allows for more criminal behavior (Hirschi and Hindelang). This school-performance hypothesis has received strong support from empirical studies, and it is probably the most widely accepted explanation of the IQ-crime correlation (Moffitt).

904Also egalitarianism, not liberalism, is what's being tested. I know lots of conservative egalitarians lol don't go confusing people just because you don't know how science works or what words mean.
905Also it's not linking egalitarianism to weakness, it's linking *percieved formidability as a male negatively to egalitarianism, the direction of the relationship matters
906* I assume it's perceived. I only have access to the abstract atm, would be interesting to know how they measured things like dominance, atrractiveness, and formidability. Then only objective measure in the study is width to height ratio

923[Opinion] IMC: "The SPLC uses the same business model as other activist organizations. It’s a protection racket. They claim a problem is happening and they are the only ones who can fix it. The problem is ongoing and never gets fixed. If an org doesn’t hire/support them, they run a hit on it."

940Using Google, Bing, Murderpedia, Wikipedia's Massacres, terrorism, and familicide pages I was able to find 14 mass shootings since their 1996 National Firearms Agreement went into effect. All these shootings should have 4 or more victims in one setting, session, incident or incidents without the FBI's "cooling off period" in between. And you should all be able to find multiple sources if you Google or Bing them. Hopefully this can aid in correcting the misinformation that Australia went 22 years without a mass shooting before the Margaret River Murder Suicide.
941The most amazing things I found out were: #1 Australia had 14 mass shootings in the 22 years before, and then 14 after. #2 It does look like they tend to be much less deadly since 1996. #3 They've had 20 mass murders since, and had 17 before. So mass murder incidents went up #4 The amount of arson & "gassing" mass murders more than made up for the less severe mass shootings since 1996. #5 Drive by shootings which were were rare before their 1996 laws, are now fairly common. #6 I did not count the incident where Australian police shot 4 people by accident in an effort to stop someone with a knife. Yes, 4 people were shot. But not on purpose. And there was no evidence that was the stabber's intention. #7 I also did not count the Top End Shootings in 1987 or the Cangai Siege in 1993 that most journalists use to inflate the number of "before 1996" shootings. These shooters had 5 days and over the course of 9 days respectively in between their shootings. If you had opportunities to eat, sleep, travel, etc.. that clearly fits the definition of a cooling off period. #8 This really shows how disingenuous all the 2016 articles going around saying that there were 16 mass shootings before and 0 after in Austria because of their gun laws. Which they conveniently redefined a mass shooting as 5 dead to qualify after 1996. But included shootings where 3 people died before 1996. They put the number at 5 to purposely exclude a few high profile shootings where 4 died. And just plain completely ignored a shooting where 5 people died.
942Please PM me know if there are any that I've missed, or gotten the numbers of dead\ wounded wrong.

980"What have I done differently than Don Shula or Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King, Ghandi?" asked Israel. "Men and women who assume leadership roles surround themselves with people who are loyal, who they can depend on and who they appreciate their skill set."
981Using one of his well-worn sayings, he said "lions don't care about the opinions of sheep,'' and maintained that he doesn't spend "more than 10 seconds'' listening to his opponents' criticisms.
982What he gleaned from that, he said, was that "winners concentrate on winning. Losers concentrate on winners. And that's why they're concentrating on me.''

985-Professor Gailey was the most unorganized and unhelpful professor I have ever had. She gives snarky replies to emails, and is not approachable. Her quizzes are incredibly detail specific, and her attendance policy is unreal (no excused or unexcused absences, no matter what). She pushes her political agenda down your throat every class.
986-She was combative and argumentative to students. Students were not comfortable to express an opinion without being belittled by her unless is was exactly in line with her thinking. She brought a lot of anger and negativity to the classroom. Should have been a great class. Sort of sad really.
987-This professor doesnt answer emails, is rarely prepared for class, and waxes poetic about their own agendas instead of teaching. I have nothing against professors having their own opinions, but it is absurd how far it is taken. This class is supposed to be about "Being Human in the Digital Age," but it is solely about how much SHE hates technology

996A 22 round capacity, .46 caliber repeating rifle from 1780. One was gifted to Lewis and Clark by Thomas Jefferson
997An air rifle doesn't sound like much, but at 450fps those .46 caliber rounds packed a punch. With a full kit with multiple tanks, the Girardoni was on another level compared to the black powder muzzle loaders of the 1700s.
998Also it was a true rifle with rifling, giving it extreme accuracy as well as unmatched repeating firepower.
999One was given to Lewis and Clark by Thomas Jefferson. You know, the guy that arguably had the most impact on the constitution, and a certain amendment "that was only written for muskets".

1011they said they just wanted to prevent accidental gun deaths because anything is better than nothing. We looked up the numbers and there were 480 something in 2015, nationwide. Compare that with ~47,000 accidental poisonings, 33,000 falls, and other accidental death causes and it is laughable that we should place our focus towards gun accidents when they are essentially statistically irrelevant in that category.

1040Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be, researchers say: http://news.northeastern.edu/2018/02/schools-are-still-one-of-the-safest-places-for-children-researcher-says/
1041Should point out that 8 of those shootings listed at the start were during the assault weapons ban.
1042And this study leaves out a year and some change of the ban. Of this article's range, the first 9 years or so were during the ban and the last 13 years were after the ban. So the rate of school shootings actually dropped since Clinton's ban, but realistically it's too small of a sample size to trust.
1043And it's worth mentioning that there were so many workarounds to that ban that it would've really stopped anybody intent on doing damage. You could still get semi-automatic rifles during the ban, they just looked a little different.
1044
1045Yeah the CDC said the same thing in 2013 when they had the National Academy of Sciences conduct a study on firearm violence.
1046Also most murders and mass shootings are committed with handguns.
1047The reason people "feel" that mass shootings happen "all the time" and are "getting worse and worse" is because of the 24 hour news media as well as social media.
1048First of all we have a predatory, mostly biased main stream media that will plaster stories like parkland all over the place, 24 hours a day because it suits their agenda. All the while burying mass shooting like the Washington Naval Yard shooting because it couldn't be twisted to suit their agenda once the facts were known.
1049This gives the average news consumer the impression that mass shootings happen every day or week and they are 10000 times worst than the 90's because those of us old enough to remember the 90's or even earlier were not subjected to the constant barrage of news media.
1050Second is social media, where again, the spread of these stories to younger audiences makes them feel like it happens all the time and this is a new thing.
1051Notice I used feel, Gun control is about emotions, it is about feelings, it is not about actual facts because the numbers don't bear it out.
