Mister, we could use a man like Gordon Gekko again...
The politics of Wall Street's elite
The problem with reading HBD blogs is that you can start to believe that a lot more people share your views than actually do, and then come up with dumb theories about people on Wall Street or in big corporations being secret believers in HBD. The typical Wall Streeter may have been politicall...
I really want to see a Philadelphia version of this. Fishtown compared to Bryn Mawr, or Mayfair compared to Norristown. Metro Philly is the largest metropolitan area not represented with more than 2.5 million more people than Metro Seattle or Metro Twin Cities.
The Netflix map and class
The interfactive Netflix map published in the NY Times website is incredibly cool and informative. There are tremendous differences in popularity of various DVDs between zip codes. Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys is the number one most rented DVD in areas which are predominately black, yet...
A very interesting piece, I do have some remarks:
Societies that deviated from this were quickly replaced. This 'contract' between the sexes was advantageous to beta men, women over the age of 35, and children, but greatly curbed the activities of alpha men and women under 35 (together, a much smaller group than the former one).
Up until a few centuries ago, the life expectancy wasn’t much longer than 35, so the under-35 population would outnumber the under-35 population. But that’s splitting hairs and if you merely changed the numbers, the point would apply.
Polls of men have shown that there is one thing men fear even more than being raped themselves, and that is being cuckolded.
You mean a poll, as in singular. And it was a unscientific internet "push poll" in which the author phrased the question in such a way as to achieve his desired result. A man as scientific as yourself should know that such a poll is worthless.
I loved your final point:
For those misandrists who say 'good riddance' with great haste, remember that blogging can still be done from overseas, and your policy of making the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all taxes that your utopia requires depends on that top 1% agreeing to not take their brains and abscond from Western shores.
Read Atlas Shrugged for a great story about what happens to a society when its most productive members go on strike.
The Misandry Bubble
(the 1/1/2020 sequel is in my portion of this article here). - by Imran Khan Why does it seem that American society is in decline, that fairness and decorum are receding, that mediocrity and tyranny are becoming malignant despite the majority of the public being averse to such philosophies...
Malcolm,
I think what you did not take into consideration is that late-round quarterbacks usually aren't good enough to get on the field in the first place. A coach selects his quarterback based who gives the team the best chance to win.
Obviously, the gap between a late-round quarterback who's good enough to get on the field and a early-round quarterback who's good enough to make the field isn't going to be that large because both quarterbacks have already met a certain threshold of ability. The more important question is, "How many late-round quarterback are capable of being an NFL starter?" The decisions of the coaches, who have the most to gain or lose, would indicate: "Not many."
Pinker on "What the Dog Saw."
Steven Pinker reviewed my new book "What the Dog Saw," in the New York Times Book Review this past Sunday. I sent the following letter to the editor in response: It is always a pleasure to be reviewed by someone as accomplished as Stephen Pinker, even if—in his comments on “What the Dog Saw” (N...
