The academic process consists much more of indoctrination than it does empirical resolution of differences independent of doctrine – otherwise there would be no controversy over what was said or what was investigated.
At present a) no use of research to fund activists, political activism, whether in the academy, in the non-commercial sector, or in the commercial sector as a means of funding activism.
You’re presuming equality among your peers, even those who agree with you and are willing to bear the same responsibility. But nearly everyone is a bot following the path of least resistance in relation to their priors.
REFORMING THE “CANCELLED” GRANT SYSTEM Restructure the grant request to be free of DEI dogma. Re-apply. They have a mission. They are pursuing their mission. It’s not that complicated. They’re irradicating DEI from the government, and eradicating funding of leftist causes through the grant system.
Deal with it. It’s not rocket science. If your science doesn’t pass those hurdles then it’s not science it’s use of public funds for political purposes, propaganda and ideology parading as science.
(NLI) It’s relatively unknown, and perhaps hard to observe, the extraordinary depth of moral conviction, insight, and adherence of the people in our organization. I have never met men of better character than those we have – and I suspect it’s what binds us together.
THE REAL DAMAGE THE LEFT ACHIEVED THROUGH EMPATHY RATHER THAN TRUTH We used to be humble. The left intentionally trained generations to assert false confidence in justification of their intuitions rather than skepticism of them, and testimony under that skepticism, in order to undermine our ancient traditions of self regulation, self skepticism, and humility in order to weaponize the arrogance and ignorance of the inexperienced against the polity to generate demand for the left’s authority, and the gradual erasure of our traditions values institutions morals and norms.
Core Argument: Revoy builds on a prior comment framing women as “substance” (relational nurturers) and men as “form” (organizers and leaders), asserting that motherhood necessitates women evolving into “form” to support family structure effectively.
Philosophical Tie-In: Drawing from Natural Law Institute principles—emphasizing reciprocal duties in high-trust families—the post highlights skill-building in social investment as key to countering perceptions of disposability among men.
(Noah isn’t quite as aphoristic as Nietzsche, and he’s certainly an optimistic and encouraging inversion, but his work when reduced to simple principles is often close to poetry.)
Your ability to translate complexity into accessibility and with rational moral framing is an art form. For our organization it’s profoundly useful, because while I can write a proof it is often inaccessible, but you can make any proof accessible and customize it for an audience, and if necessary defend it with the proof.
The Manipulated Man Book by Esther Vilar The Manipulated Man is a controversial 1971 book by Esther Vilar that argues women are not oppressed but instead manipulate men through sex, emotional blackmail, and traditional roles to secure provision and a comfortable life, with men being the ones who are truly controlled. Vilar claims women use praise, sex, and emotional displays to control men, who work and provide while women consume and languish, and that men must recognize this manipulation to achieve true equality. The book, originally written in German, became a bestseller and sparked significant debate, with Vilar maintaining that little has changed since its publication.
Core arguments Manipulation, not oppression: Vilar’s central thesis is that women are not victims but are in control, using subtle and overt tactics to manipulate men. Tools of manipulation: She identifies praise, sex, and emotional blackmail (dramatized emotional reactions) as key tools women use to control men. Gender roles: The book posits that men work and think, while women consume and languish, with women choosing to let men provide for them in exchange for sex and praise. Marriage as a trap: Vilar argues that marriage is a trap for men, coerced by women under the guise of romance, and that men gain little from it.
Reception and intent Controversial:The book was a sensation and earned Vilar severe criticism, but she intended it as a call for honesty between the sexes, not misogyny. A call to action:Vilar concludes that men must recognize and openly criticize this dynamic for real change to occur, as women are unlikely to give up their advantageous position.
