Nobel Prize Not SJW-Proof, As Scientist Discovers

[Speaker to Animals]

The other factors, like malnutrition, are lost in the averages.

Not when the whole population lives in dung pile houses....

It's not that big a factor, though. What matters ar3 specific alleles, and each race has different ones.

But how do you know this when so many articles contradict it?

I'm not saying education the entire population of Africa will make them Europe....but it may make them close to it....we do not yet know where the upper bounds of genetic IQ lay.

A fun, short article that relates (somewhat) to the OP, and the value of truth.

That link is bad, can you provide another link? I hate to admit it, but I might need this article to get my Two Minutes Hate on this morning.

Hopefully this gets you there.

I'm not terribly shocked to find Dostoyevsky cast as the bad guy and the midwit* atheist Nietzsche cast as the sage.

The "Age of Bullshit" is a clever Marxist coping mechanism for the unacceptable reality of someone like Trump being given the keys to federal city. IMNSHO.

There's a greater market for truth right now than ever before. Rent-seekers don't like the idea of abiding that, not one little bit.

But hey, thanks for the link. If the Nobel caretakers can't decide what is the good kind of truthiness, who can?

*More on "midwit," see, e.g., Nietzsche, soon.

Because your articles are highly political.

I encourage you to read a book entitled A Troublesome Inheritance, or listen to it on Audible.

I didn't get the good guy/bad guy morality play from the article. It was mostly 'pro-truth' though, as I understood it... the Compte de Maistre stuff aside.

If "Age of Bullshit" is Marxist, so is "fake news." Nobody has a monopoly on undermining epistemology in the "post fact" postmodern world.

"pro-truth"

Like the dark age ideologues punishing one of the greatest living scientists for wrongthink.

Get fucked.

Good recap of what I just said. Truth is meaningless to the courtiers of federal city (both flavors). Nietzsche would be telling us all "told ya" in-between shaking fits. To his credit, it's possible that Nietzsche wouldn't take either side in the fight for control of the city. His midwitted followers, however, well they tend to want to be inside the city walls above all, and objective truth is just another obstacle.

The Nobel curators will genuflect at some approved version of truthiness if it's necessary to protect their position inside the walls of the city, for sure.

I would love to hear a convincing argument for the supremacy of scientific truth as a moral virtue, since it is what I want to believe is true.

If the case for scientific truth is merely pragmatic, then it is contingent, and rather devalued.

Science has fuck all to do with your "moral values".
