Why does 9/11 matter so much but not the many far more horrible atrocities that the US regularly supports or commits (and that 9/11 was partly a response to). Clearly some lives are considered worth far more than others.

Why don't I see almost any feminists fighting against this? Instead they are some of the most racist and hateful people in my experience. > And the important thing is regardless of the source of her preference, at the end of the day

How do you know if what women find attractive is a result of societal pressure or freedom? Again, do you think women's extreme racial "preferences" in dating are a result of freedom because men of some races are far less attr

It's a general well known trend. You can make a fake account and test it in a few minutes. Just like in many other animals, female choosy selection is the limiting factor, and the males either prove themselves or might as well die. Tha

"How about actually having a likable personality, which easily tops all other qualities?" So do you now agree this statement is obviously false? Height is just one of the first filters women use, and often the requirement is more

I don't buy that. If we use the example of height alone, the vast majority of women would not date a man shorter than them regardless of whether the man has a "likable personality". https://www.youtube.com/wat

Nearly everyone has physical dealbreakers, and height is a very socially acceptable one that the vast majority of women have. Most women also filter on somewhat less politically correct factors like race. The total hypocrisy when it comes t

The extreme skew (1 male for every 17 females reproducing) is what's incorrect, not the average man having less reproductive success than the average woman.

What if someone did the same thing to black women? It seems only some "standards" are acceptable.

There was some mating skew no doubt. But that number is total nonsense and the study does not show that.

total lie, they have both stack ranking and forced firing, and it's often passed down to specific managers on small teams. The reviews tend to be mostly political, it's completely corrupt.

It's not just somewhat faster, the difference is often huge. You shouldn't let your personal experiences and anecdotes get in the way of the science here, what you wrote earlier about steroids only aiding recovery for people who p

This is not true. Steroids have huge effects other than recovery, they'll provoke far greater response for the same amount of work.

I can't tell if this post is sarcastic. It doesn't take an expert to figure out what to do to lose weight and gain mass (strength training), and strength training doesn't take long.

At least for tests like the SAT, this is not correct. SES and coaching don't affect SAT scores much. A major reason why elites hate it so much and instead want "wholistic evaluations". Instead the ceiling of the test should b

I don't see what's wrong with suggesting genes are causing the gap. I'm not "dogwhistling" anything, this is the most powerfully supported scientific explanation. Science denialism seems to be extremely common on th

Can you name a "well-rounded" assessment that doesn't just end up being a measure of privilege?

> What do you think explains the difference? The Asians, at least the ones who come to the US, being a far more elite group in terms of genes for academic success.

Shouldn't come as a surprise, given the types of people admitted and admissions process being a game of lying and cheating.

There are lots of Asians that grow up poor in the US and excel at far higher rates than poor African-Americans. There isn't really much evidence that SES has a large impact on things like SAT scores, I doubt it would affect being able

I'm saying from the ones that do excel, they do just fine, and far more poor asians excel. Calling it a dogwhistle is just trolling. The real racism is from people judging based on race instead of ability.

I've seem smart Asian kids from poor public schools do far better than the wealthy corrupt kids. It's not about "poor education".

Why is it a handicap? I've seen poor Asians who go to the same types of schools tend to do just fine.
