If Mort Divine ruled the world

What is it about getting a degree in language or gender studies which turns people into solipsists? Something about getting lost in the words in one's head? "I think, therefore everything I fail at/struggle with is bad." This is the structure of piece after piece in this style, from blogs to the pages of the Guardian. Reflection without insight. Education without learning. Wheels spinning in place and it's not my fault!

When those same people decide to waste a 4 year degree and then get mad when their (lack of) qualifications can't get them anything other than a job at Starbucks, it shouldn't surprise anyone that their wheels are spinning in place except that it's all their fault
 


In this episode of RADICAL CRAM SCHOOL, Auntie Kristina tests the Young Rebels to see if they've been tainted by the patriarchy, and finds out why Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth. RADICAL CRAM SCHOOL is a kid-centric, unscripted web series created by comedian Kristina Wong that empowers Asian girls and all kids of color to embrace their identities, fight for social justice, and be the revolution.
 
"[White men have] Grabbed the levers of power in big money making machines". I didn't know there were so many European American bankers. Secondly, just accepting the statement at face value: Who did they grab those "levers of power" from? As if these "levers of power" and "big money making machines" just "exist".

Eastern Michigan University's Women's Resource Center will no longer host productions of "The Vagina Monologues," noting that the play's version of feminism excludes some women.

The WRC announced its decision in an email, which came after the center evaluated responses from a survey. Survey respondents opposing the production consistently indicated they were concerned that the play centers on cisgender women, that the play's version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, "The Vagina Monologue" lacks diversity and inclusion.

The survey was launched as a result of conversations with current students, as well as feedback from a WRC workshop titled "Not all women have vaginas," during the 2017-18 academic year.

"It would be totally wrong to equate the KKK and ICE but that's not what Kamala Harris did, that's what I and millions of other Americans did, she just pointed out that I'm totally wrong is all"

At N.Y.U., Conley kept getting into disagreements with geneticists, arguing that their methods were dangerously naïve. It seemed to him implausible that studying only twins — the gold standard of genetics research — was enough to teach us the difference between nature and nurture. But over time, he decided that it wasn’t enough to just argue. Conley is an academic, and even within that tortured group he is something of a masochist. At that time he was a tenured professor, the kind of gig most people see as the endgame of an academic career, and yet he decided to go back and grind out another Ph.D., this time in genetics. He went into his program believing that our social environment is largely the cause of our outcomes, and that biology is usually the dependent variable. By the end of his time, he says, the causal arrow in his mind had pretty much flipped the other way: “I tried to show for a range of outcomes that the genetic models were overstating the impact of genetics because of their crazy assumptions.” He sighs. “But I ended up showing that they’re right.”

Now he says he’s convinced the benefits of studying polygenic scores are worth the risks. “I still have some queasiness about what can be done with this research, how politically explosive it can be,” he says. “But as someone who wants to drill down into human behavior, I don’t think we can ignore it anymore.”
