THE INTELLECTUALLY HONEST SKEPTIC ASKS, THE INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST OVERCONFIDE

THE INTELLECTUALLY HONEST SKEPTIC ASKS, THE INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST OVERCONFIDENT DEMANDS.

(I wish more people would simply ask questions, rather than try to debate me – very, very few people can participate in non-trivial debate – but then I don’t want to suppress, and instead I want to celebrate, the male desire to learn through competition.

I run my classroom so to speak as a great game of king of the hill, because I understand that competition and heroism is how men are willing to ‘invest’ in their education, the same way that women are willing to invest by obedience and conformity. Men need a game – a proxy for war – to have the incentive to learn. This is why mixed-gender education is literally causing brain damage to men.)
