The complete divergence of what we can gather was "real" Spartan social history vs that presented by Plutarch and .... Zach is a wonderful study in itself. It's almost like a positive patriarchy mythology. Bizarro SJW. Re presentations - totally agree. PowerPoint slides should only have a single sal...

My SGU happy moment. Topic: new Cosmos RW launches into an attack on how limp dick Sagan had been on attacking religion in old Cosmos.

But you don't really think the artistic vision began and ended with "here in is the story of a bullshitter and some out of place monsters"? Really?

Thinking about it, Chas got well trolled by PZ in the abortion debate. PZ baited him with the post's title: "Donâ€™t tell people how to feel about abortion" Chas cheerfully offered his feeling on the subject before being sucker punched with the realisation the real heading was "Men don't tell people...

He is adopting traditional story telling motifs and I think the symbolism is meant to transcend simple bullshitting. Dilios is seems to be addressing us (ie the future) as much as he is the regiment at Plataea. Ancient history, in the primary sources, was obviously more about imparting an 'accepted'...

Yep, the debate on abortion neatly sums up the FtB madness. Thanks, as always, Sally

tl/dr - if you apply the same benchmarks to men & women, you deny privilege/patriarchy and thereby also deny the basis for SJ.

That makes you bad.

It's the primacy of ideological mantra over real world nuance. Ie all men are born into original sin as brainwashed products of the patriarchy. All men have the requirement to atone and be re-educated. Some men more then others, but there can be no exceptions to the mark of privilege and resultant i...

Thanks Dick for trying.

It would probably help if I pretended to fisk it. That normally dumbs any discussion down to the lowest denominator (in this case me).

PZ continues to spew ersatz, albeit vanilla, science posts.
He is in danger of losing his creds. And interest value.

Maybe Eliot had it right:

"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

I assume it is only coincidence that the last (?) - Jan14 - episode of Brave Hero Radio featured Ben Radford?

Not much going on in RW land. She is still complaining that she is insulted on YouTube and despairs for humanity. I agree it is not particularly edifying screaming "cunt" into the (digital) face of anyone. I would also agree that if you choose to take a public, divisive position on YouTube and bring...

Hmm I guess I you could read PZ to mean once again hiding "a" post as opposed to "this" post. Let's face it, accuracy and specificity aren't really part of his job description.
