If Mort Divine ruled the world

[HamburgerBoy]

Apparently the whole r-type vs k-type selection thing came a couple decades after the original theories of female reproductive selection, but the implications are obviously open to a spectrum of female sexual selection. Plus, a tiny bit of googlefu is telling me that the established exceptions to the rule tend to involve females with faster reproductive rates anyways. Anyone can find an exception if using the entire world to look for one, just like how in Tibet there is allegedly some traditional isolated tribe that practices a matriarchal society (though I've also heard that the tribe's practice was heavily biased by a tourism industry in search of the fabled woman-dominated culture). Whatever the case of their validity (and I'm someone that believes nearly everything physically possible has, is, or will be true at some point in time), these exceptions are generally more fascinating to social iconoclasts than actual scientific researchers.

The very notion of a "feminist scientist" makes me suspicious. I mean it's hilarious even to consider the idea of someone who is ideologically biased in a very specific way calling into question all science carried out by males.

Well before there were feminist scientists there was a largely male body of scientists who selected their findings to support cultural expectations among humans. Donna Haraway's work on the history of primatology has some case studies. I think it makes sense to be suspicious of science done in the 1940s/'50s by men when evidence comes to light that their work wasn't reflective of the full spectrum of results.

At any rate, I simply wish more women in the sciences spoke up about political misrepresentations of their work. I don't think it's about calling all men into question, but staying attuned to the possibilities of gender bias in men's scientific work (particularly from the mid-twentieth century and prior). History has shown egregious examples of it; less so today, but then there are more women in the sciences today.

I think the impetus of the piece has less to do with the particulars of the exception and more to do with how the purported "standard" formed part of a cultural prescription on sexual tendencies, i.e. promiscuous males and choosy females. But interesting, I'll have to read more about the findings (I don't know anything beyond this piece).

It's amazing that this man consistently out-retards Trump. It shouldn't even be possible yet here we are.

 

[Einherjar86]

I think Trump is out-retarding Trump. Seriously, how has no one posted the Axios interview?

 

[CiG]

Yeah I saw portions of that interview, it was horrendous. But I don't think that was retardation, that was Trump going in thinking he had an iron clad set of data that fit his agenda and having no contingency plan when challenged. Biden on the other hand cannot actually speak the English language at this point. It's not even funny anymore, I think he needs aged care.

This is the clip I saw btw:

If we're comparing speaking capacity, Trump's is no worse than Biden's. But America loves its old white men.

 

[CiG]

Eh I completely disagree. Trump is uneducated, Biden is disintegrating biologically.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Is that the interview where Biden says Latino's are more free-thinking than blacks?

 

[CiG]

It might be, but that's a compilation not just one clip.

 

[Einherjar86]

Eh I completely disagree. Trump is uneducated, Biden is disintegrating biologically.

He can't string words and sentences together. That's worse than "uneducated."

 

[CiG]

 

[Einherjar86]

Trump recently couldn’t remember the word “phrase” and had to say “group of words”

 

[CiG]

Biden recently tried to say "I'm so looking forward to having an opportunity" and ended up saying "I'm so forward-looking to have an opportunity."

He also in the same interview tried to say "I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fitness" and instead said "I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical 'n' menil fill---my physical as well as my mental fill-f-f-fitness."

He had to literally close his eyes while speaking to get that last sentence out.

 

[Einherjar86]

Yo semite? Thighland?

Anyway, it's a pointless competition, people will keep finding examples from either side. If Biden wins, there's no way he'd ever serve a second term. He's the shit sandwich we're being offered instead of a shit pot roast. The Carole Baskin instead of Joe Exotic.

 

[CiG]

Trump says thighland, Biden just talks about the hairs on his.

Teespring bans all Antifa merchandise

Funny as I just saw this:



Gee I wonder why they're having second thoughts about providing a platform to people who do stuff like that...

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Isn't setting up a Teespring store a capitalist enterprise?
