Just want to take a moment to point out that Overton Window of Fashion passed ‘The Sartorialist’ by last year. Men are becoming men again. it’s just SLOWLY happening.
We we men. We’re slow that way.

October 13th, 2018 5:40 PM “ARGUMENT AD UTERUM” LOLZ By Giego Caleiro
I hereby coin the term: “Argument Ad Uterum” A classical form of fallacious argument in which a fertile female, often a bipolar girlfriend, a feminist, or a pawn of leftwing ideology (NPC) threatens self-removal from a group, discussion, or event, as a means to socially sanction or control that which she, or anyone in the discussion, cannot argue against by legitimate means.

[W]ell, I’m an anti-philosophy Philosopher. I use the framework of philosophy (Aristotle’s Categories) and some of the terminology to undermine the sophistry so common in nearly all of philosophy; and I argue fairly frequently that philosophy shares more with religionâs sophism, conflation, fictionalism, and lack of external correspondence. In my understanding, I write Law (Testimony). Law requires tests of the logical, empirical, operational, rational, reciprocal and complete (limits and full accounting). So law requires far more survival criteria than do logic, physical science, and the soft sciences of psychology and sociology. As I understand it, what I do is in fact, Science – if science consists of ânecessary due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.â I find plenty of folly in religion, literature, philosophy, economics, law, soft science, hard science, logic, and mathematics. So every field has itâs people who presume. And the reason they tend to presume is that they understand the FRAMES of just one discipline rather than either Frames of ALL disciplines, or the ONE frame that remains constant across all disciplines: Hypothesis, Due Diligence, Testimony, and Warranty. So while logic and mathematics can intrude on science, and science can intrude on philosophy, and philosophical rationalism can intrude on theology, the opposite cannot be true (ever). The reason being that what we can testify to decreases as we move from math, to logic, to science, to philosophy, to theology. And without testifiability we cannot make truth claims. Because that is what truth means: testimony that is consistent, correspondent, coherent, and complete. The universe is not complicated. It’s the host of little comforting lies we tell ourselves that cloud our reason, intuition, and comprehension. And so to borrow an edgy quote, I don’t fear a scientist knocking at my door. Because “I am the one who knocks”.
October 12th, 2018 9:18 AM EUROPEAN KINSHIP AND FAMILY SYSTEMS A “Cognition and Practice” Approach to an Aspect of European Kinship Patrick Heady First Published May 6, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1177/1069397117707184
Abstract Despite the long history of kinship studies, we still lack agreed theories capable of explaining the connection between terminological systems and kinship practice. This article argues for a cognitive approach centering on two distinct but complementary aspects of identity. It is argued that patterns of shared identity are implied by terminology and combine with other factors to motivate practice in a feedback loop which transmits influences between terminological systems and political and economic institutions. The argument is illustrated by statistical and historical analyses of an aspect of European kinship.

October 12th, 2018 12:47 PM IQ BY MAJOR (COLLEGES DO NOT PRODUCE THIS DATA ON PURPOSE) [T]here are five different measures we use to answer this question: 1) the iq of high school students applying for university (we have their iq scores from standardized tests) 2) the sat scores of college students by major 3) the gre scores of grad students by major 4) the long term tracking of students from high school to life. 5) the lifetime performance of all degree holders by socio economic status. Most of these tests show volatility because 1) weschler is the best measure but only available in high school students, 2) mathematics appears to be the best functional test of intelligence at the high end, and ‘verbal ability’ was added to raise the measure of girls/women on tests, 3) the personality trait ‘industriousness’ is so influential on performance 4) sat scores test education, gre scores select upward, 5) colleges and universities vary vastly in the capability of students they attract and the difficulty of the major they provide. 6) smaller numbers of men go to college and tend to have higher abilities, and larger numbers of women go to college regardless of their abilities. 7) girls mature much earlier, and boys much later, so IQ stabilizes in adulthood (and any advances evaporate), and we have no means of IQ testing after 23 when this stabilization occurs other than lifetime performance. The numbers in the the OP reflect an effect which is well understood in the data: more women go to college than men by far now, and that lowers the score of women to the median because of regression to the mean at scale. Moreover, some degrees have a negative impact on lifetime earnings (social work, sociology, education). This is important for the simple reason that most published proxies for intelligence of gender and occupation use the number of degrees independent of major as a proxy for IQ which tends to vastly overstate or understand the biological intelligence, functional intelligence, of demographic areas. None of which is complicated. But the reminder needs to be out there constantly that this is how aggregates are produced.

NEW TERM COINED:“Neuro-Commoner.” This corrects the term “neurotypical“, by including it’s class position. 😉
