well the laura penny article(not the biggest fan of her but she writes some good stuff) about the milo bus boys kinda showed, most of them are dumb kids raised online who legit think this is all a bigh laugh and fun game and think they can be cool and tough and trump getting in will help them. then they go against militant lefties who actually know how to throw a punch, and it starts to sink in.

Some beliefs are good to force on others with violence, like the belief that it's not ok to gently caress kids or be a Nazi.

They keep it up and they'll get super fit from all the exercise and then their moods will level out, or they'll die of heart attacks. Really either way it's a problem that's fixing itself.

The Bell Curve came out in 1994? Man, for some reason I always thought it was one of those cottage industry racism books from like late 19th century when dudes would publish poo poo saying negroids are lower on the "great chain of being."

Which reminds me that I took an Anthropology class where one of the textbooks was titled "From Savage to Negro." Four weeks into the class one dude (the same dude who was also surprised to learn blacks and whites could produce viable offspring) stands up and asks the teacher, who was a cool, upbeat African dude,

"So which is better? Savage or negro?"

"I don't know, you tell me!" Then the kid started thinking and sat down and I think the professor was pretty happy with the fact that he was at least thinking about it.

Dad tells me Trump reminds him of Nixon. He doesn't mean this in a positive way. But what I don't know is whether that my dad is wrong and that Trump is much worse than he thinks -- or whether he's right and that Nixon was much worse than I believe.

I think he might be right. I just learned about the Hard Hat Riot, which makes the Proud Boys and motorcycle helmet dude look like amateurs:

Legitimate question, whats wrong with the Bell curve? I never read it but got taught about it briefly in school and from what I remember it mostly stated that IQ is measurable and a combination of genetics and environment, which seems fairly uncontroversial?

that's what is wrong, the metric we use would never be accurate on anyone who wasn't particularly well educated in the western world, therefore, it is invalid

yeah it says genetics play a role as in "see graph, black people dum", not "genetics plays a role because your mother/homeschool teacher got knocked up by your uncle/brother and the result was mentally retarded" so it is controversial. Short of a genetic disorder its all about environment, africans/asian/europeans are genetically and neurologically identical if they're healthy, but the bell curve asserts that not only is an IQ test score a scientific measure of intelligence (it isn't) but that those three groups occupy distinct strata of intelligence because of genetic differences (they don't).

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

The actual book The Bell Curve takes it a step further and tries to argue that your IQ is predictive of your station in life and uses the descriptor "cognitive elite," and doesn't seem to understand the cause/effect relationship between IQ and environment, and also claims that "innate intelligence" is a dungeons-and-dragons style racial stat that is different between different ethnicities

I'm thinking this is just part of the plan. He did his press thing and "clarified" his statement. People who support him are happy with it, people who hate him still hate him.

Now he lies low for a bit to let it all fade away. I imagine we'll be hearing from him in a few weeks.

Also, a google news search on him shows that he is still very much being talked about.
