    MADE MY DAY – SOMEONE GETS IT.

    —“Propertarian language is GENIUS for explaining the world….shit, you gave me the language to concoct a grand unified theory of everything …AND IT WORKS”—

    My life is complete.

    http://www.salon.com/2014/11/21/reza_aslan_sam_harris_and_new_atheists_arent_new_arent_even_atheists/Agreed. They are not atheists nor new but anti theists.

    Worse they have replaced theology with social pseudoscience that differs little from anthropological Puritanism on one end, and numerological pseudoscientific economics on the other end.

    Faith in the state, democracy, man and technology to save us from ourselves, and selection bias in science is no different from prior versions of Christianity.

    What does suffer is that the academy prospers not the church.

    Quick search and I find this very accurate, brief summary, that is more insightful than I assume the author knows.

    —“I should hasten to remind the court that we are here, in the presence of the court, because someone must decide that which is difficult to decide – not because the court is particularly skilled at such decisions, not that the court is better at such decisions than I, and certainly not because the court’s time is more precious than mine.”—

  • A Different Unification: A Bold Challenge

    —“Very possibly classical mathematics will cease to exist as an independent discipline”— (Bishop, 1970, p. 54)

    [I] can translate this into something scary:

    “Very possibly, classical philosophy and science will cease to exist as independent disciplines.”

    That is precisely what I am up to – although I didn’t know it when I started. 🙂

    GENDER EQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE

    –“If we are to Harrison Bergeron (cripple) men so that women can achieve high positions then we must Harrison Bergeron (cripple) the workplace so that men can achieve middle-status positions where women dominate.”–

    GENDER NEUTRAL IQ TESTS

    —“[Flynn notes that] if you try to intentionally create a gender neutral IQ test by throwing out items that favor one gender over the other, you find that you can’t eliminate a female verbal advantage and a male advantage for visual spatial items. “—

    Men have an advantage at the high end, but men and women (in the main) are equally productive in the work force. WHY? Character traits. Women are more conforming. This is how nature evolved us.

    We should note that this is on raven’s progressive matrixes. And this data is an example of why I ONLY CARE about the using Progressive Matrixes as IQ tests. They are the only tests I can trust that are not dependent upon cultural factors.
