"As soon as I learned about the replication crises, and about political and ideological bias in social science, my entire worldview shattered." aporiamagazine.com/p/stoner-logic…
"I was reminded of a terrible realization I had during a class in undergrad: if I let them, my teachers would send me out of higher education as dumb or dumber than when I entered." aporiamagazine.com/p/stoner-logic…
Everyday the painful reality that conservatives could have elected DeSantis instead of Trump intrudes upon my consciousness. All the wins, none of the boorish insanity.
They came after the wrong man.
"For in Terminator, humans fight back against their annihilation. In our world, we may not even resist. Instead, we might joyfully participate in our own obsolescence—victims not of malicious machines, but of excessive kindness and empathy." aporiamagazine.com/p/counterfeit-…
"Immigrants, minorities, and people of mixed descent assumed central symbolic roles within the new regime. Their very existence was cast as a living refutation of traditional or nationalist narratives." aporiamagazine.com/p/woke-as-mana…
"Politics is not a competition between abstract principles. Instead, most political discourse seeks to obscure the question of who rules, and on whose behalf. Even political language about peace, justice or equality routinely masks the struggle for power." aporiamagazine.com/p/woke-as-mana…
"Diversity is a lie. And ultimately it promotes the only widespread form of racism in the West: Anti-white racism." aporiamagazine.com/p/diversity-is…
If assimilation were some magical solution to group differences, disparities between blacks and whites would have disappeared long ago. Peoples create different societies because they have different traits. No amount of schooling or enculturation will change that.
Aporia links here are always extremely throttled. If you haven't heard about it, I strongly recommend both the magazine and the podcast. It's my current favorite podcast.
Noah is joined by Davide Piffer to discuss his research on the genetic basis of group differences. aporiamagazine.com/p/podcast-comp…
"Countries that achieve economic development do not begin with mass democracy. They end with it." aporiamagazine.com/p/mass-democra…
The notion that a society can replace its own dominant ethnic group while preserving its culture is as foolish as anything found in communism. Different peoples create different cultures because they have different traits. Change the people, you change the culture.
"The evidence shows that introducing mass democracy into poor and fragile countries does not create prosperity. In fact, it often prevents it." aporiamagazine.com/p/mass-democra…
Feckless descendents berate their courageous ancestors for audacity that they can no longer fathom.
Take it down.
