Within the first 30 second, we have "...thanks to James O'Keefe." (And, yet, I kept watching. I'm an idiot.)

And then we get a whole lot about "free speech" when Twitter is NOT a public forum. *sigh* But at least he shows some awareness of this issue at about 9:00 when he says that "the case for [regulating social media as a utility] is becoming unarguable" (by which I believe that he means that you can't argue against it). Well done, Milo. You have successfully placed the cart directly in front of the horse.

Bingo. But let's be explicit.

(1) sex without freely-given consent is rape
(2) consent can only be freely given to someone of equal or lower status ... anything that you give to someone above you, including consent, is by definition coerced and not freely given
(3) no two people have exactly the same status
therefore
(4) all sex is rape

This is really quite good. I am 20 minutes in and have already enjoyed it. I think someone posted the Pinker part... but this is the whole thing.

You do know that an estimate of something can correlate with the target value very well while still being very inaccurate, yes? If not, here are two things to digest: (1) the correlation between a set of values and their square-roots is about .99, so a measure that specifically under-estimates high values will still show an outrageously high correlation; and (2) the correlation between a set of values and their squares is about .97, so a measure that specifically over-estimates high values will again show an outrageously high correlation.
There are no square roots involved, Willis. About a third of all convictions for robbery are of blacks; about a third of all robbers are identified as black by victims. For commission of robberies by blacks to be significantly lower than one third, a majority of victims must be misreporting, for which there is neither any evidence nor any logical explanation.

OK, Cupcake, I'll let you drag me down to specific hypotheticals so that you can avoid the larger point I was making.

It does not require that the people who are reporting a crime to get the race of their attacker wrong. Another possibility is that the probability of making a report depends on the race of the attacker.

Victims, including black victims, are less likely to report a crime if their attacker is white?

Alright, snuggums, take the UCR and NCVS data and run the numbers so that under-reporting lowers the black commission of crimes from the convicted rate to in line with the black %age of the population. In other words: how many murders need to go unreported each year to account for the 52% vs. 13% discrepancy?

I guess that you invested so much energy into missing my point that you also missed where I said that I did not believe that this issue will remove all demographic differences. But it looks like one version of my point finally got through, given your question, so I'm happy enough.

I just tried to post this as a comment, but I might still be blocked from something I did last summer.
Why would PZ Myers go out of his way to attack Pinker using a method that would make him look like an idiot to anyone who checked?

Well, what are the three primary drives? (Hint: some call them the 'Three Fs' as a cute mnemonic.) Now you got it: Food, Fluid, and Sex.

OK, but when the person in question has a job in a developed country, which of the three primary drives is most likely? Yep. Sex.

So how could attacking Pinker bring PZ Myers closer to sex? Well, first one needs to think about the targets of PZ's lust. No. Not those ... restrict it to humans for now. Good. (And, yes, the smell of cat-piss has been rinsed from the wet-suit.)

Now ask yourself this: has the (human) target of PZ's lust ever done something that involves Steven Pinker? If that's not enough, start by focusing on ways in which Pinker and those associated with him (intellectually) might have either harmed the target of PZ's lust or allowed said target to do something that ended up making her look lazy, incompetent, and dishonest.

If you're still having difficulty, set the question aside, as psychology suggests that some things evolve.

Now you got it.

And, PZ ... bad news, dude. It ain't gunna work.

The next time that I want to make the point that anything other than actual target value of interest is, at best, only an estimate or proxy for the value of interest ... and that you need to think about ways in which it might be wrong ... and that you can't use arguments based on correlations to make this issue go away ... I'll try to remember this exchange.

His lawyer stopped presenting a case for his defense - and agreed with everything the prosecution asserted.

I have to wonder exactly what it was he was up to, about ten years ago Wisconsin finally got around to passing a beastiality statute after a rash of incidents of people interfering with the livestock. A couple of years later it had to be expanded to include dead animals, and no, you really don't want to know why.

When Pinker claims that SJW's create their own antagonists called the Alt Right he is exactly correct. And Marx would agree with him. It's called dialectics. Guess what disco back in the 70's created? People who hated disco. If you tell me the job is not mine even though I am the best qualified because I'm a white male, guess what you just created? Correct. Another person who hates race-gender based hiring and advocates for merit hiring.

This stuff, it isn't hard.

Apparently she's a playwright and a "cultural materialist".

Anyway basically they're doubling down on the smears, trying to paint Pinker as an alt-right sympathizer for having criticized the SocJus. Never mind that he's one of the biggest donors to the Democratic Party in academia. No, he criticized our sacred cows and didn't talk about the alt-right in a way we like (even though he was discussing ways to counter the alt-right message), so he's a secret Nazi/white supremacist.

The playwright is also obsessed with the fact that Pinker worked with (or better yet, was interviewed by) Razib Khan, because apparently Khan is some sort of Nazi/white supremacist/far-right secret agent and so Pinker is a "useful idiot" for the far right.

FYI, this is Razib Khan.

Not to say they're not capable of doing damage, but they're at least shrinking in influence, mainly just a bunch of hacks doing their best to prop each other up.

Still, it's fucking galling to see someone go to bat for Myers for half a day on Twitter and still have the sheer nerve to call others "cultists." That's their fucking playbook. Don't immediately buy an easily refuted smear on someone? You must worship the ground they walk on. Fucking idiots.

Over at Shakesville, a WaPo reporter wanted to private message McEwen to ask her some questions. McEwen demanded to know what he wanted to ask her about. The reporter sends his bonafides and asked why she was demanding to know the questions and why not just let him private message her? McEwen says she get's a lot of online abuse. Reporter asks if she thinks a WaPo reporter would ask permission to message her just to hurl abuse. McEwen gets angry and says she doesn't care about his resume. Reporter tweets that maybe it was for the best that she refused, because she's kind of psycho. McEwen sees this as evidence of abuse.

Not sure if it's a derail but did a google search and that man's career is a litany of male privilege. It is both unsurprising and disgusting that he feels like he is entitled to DM Liss.
It's almost like these people think in buzzwords. Privilege, entitled, toxic masculinity, patriarchy, rape culture, male gaze, misogyny, enthusiastic consent...

PZ Myers lies again, or maybe he's just very, very dumb:
I have now been accused of “smearing” and “distorting” Pinker’s words, and gotten all kinds of fun hate mail. Alas, nobody has been able to show where my arguments actually distort Pinker’s claims; he really does argue that “political correctness” is driving people to the alt-right, and that there are all these “facts” that Leftist Academics refuse to discuss on campus, which drives students further right when they discover that they’ve been lied to. It is a bullshit contrafactual, wrong and dishonest in every way, and the best people can do is say, “well, there’s some parts afterwards that are more nuanced, and you ignored those”. Nope, that’s irrelevant. When someone states outright lies, it doesn’t matter if later they say something else.
No, the best people can do is say "look at the news on campus, and look at what conservative groups are saying and who they're inviting to speak, you fucking dipshit". Apparently Peezus has never heard, or pretends to have never heard, of the Evergreen College brouhaha, or the Laurier scandal. He never took a look at the rising popularity of Jordan Peterson among many young people, and never asked himself why, and what it has to do with the Pronoun Wars.

Ask yourself WHY the conservative students invited Milo fucking Yannopoulos or Ben Shapiro to speak, and like them, or why the students in your own fucking university put a conservative paper in your mailbox. Pinker gave you the answers, if you bothered to stop visualizing your students as mermaids and listened to what they're talking about you'd understand that he's right.
He thinks maybe I was a leetle too aggressively in-Pinker’s-face, to put it mildly, but then I think he’s a leetle too charitable,
Quit trying to write like a kid, Myers, you're a grown ass adult, that's fucking pathetic, and not a "leetle" creepy.
If you look at the kinds of arguments Pinker often makes, they reduce to blaming the Left/Progressives/Liberals for things that the Right/Republicans/racists do. Somehow it’s always possible to make the worst things the alt-right does entirely the fault of those who oppose them, and also, he never bothers to say what we’re supposed to do instead. Encourage racists? Say kind things about them? Compromise on fundamental issues: suggest that maybe black people are only a little bit inferior rather than a lot inferior?
You fucking dishonest cunt. Pinker answered to those questions in the part of the interview which you've refused to watch: counter the alt-right narrative without denying data, like explaining differential rates of commission of crimes with differential rates of poverty. You dumbass.
No. He clearly says that the alt-right’s beliefs are the fault of the “PC” Left, which says nothing about making better arguments to oppose them, and is a falsehood. His talk was about doling out the blame to the Left, not about fighting the alt-right. If you listen to the whole 8-minute video, what you hear is Pinker first saying that you can’t voice certain facts on campus, then stating those facts (self-refutation, anyone?), then explaining that his facts are more complex than he let on,
which is what the college professors he’s blaming already do.
Is it possible to really be this stupid? In the same paragraph PeeZee says that Pinker's talk is "not about fighting the alt-right" and then he talks about how Pinker is "explaining that his facts are more complex". THAT's Pinker's strategy for fighting the alt-right, you moron!

And you have the gall of accusing Pinker of "self-contradiction" (projection, anyone? :lol: ) for saying that you can't voice certain facts WITHIN CAMPUS CULTURE, then voicing the same facts WHILE HE WAS AT AN EVENT THAT WASN'T RAN BY CAMPUS AUTHORITIES.

How did Myers get a degree in biology, or even just graduate high school? I really hope he's just playing dumb for the sake of his brain-dead Horde.

No, they don't. Or not well enough, according to Pinker, since the alt-right uses those facts as part of their propaganda. And since college professors seem more interested in teaching Patriarchy or Standpoint Theory rather than why men and women are biologically different, but that's a matter of averages, or why it's true that rates of convictions are different between racial groups, but that's because of variety of factors and there's no evidence that it's due to race, it seems that Pinker was right.

RIP Bella Emberg, AKA Blunder Woman.

How strange, I was thinking about her just the other day after I saw Susie Blake on TV, so I looked her up on Wikipedia. I went and saw the Russ Abbot show at the Cliffs Pavilion back in the 1980s... It was funny back then but watching youtube clips, definitely kids entertainment by today's standards.

Oh come on.... Sky News keep inviting on "dusky" commentators to give the mayor a real good kicking, then they act like it was a complete surprise, asi if they just invited some guy in off the street and had no idea what he was going to say.

Just a personal note so skip it if you want.

The missus had an ok week. I am happy for that. Her sister has been in the hospital for a week and has been on and off a ventilator. Today her sister decided she did not want to go back on the vent and told the hospital staff that she did not want them to vent her anymore. She just wants to be comfortable and told us she could not live through the torture of the vent anymore. The beginning of the end I guess. She is dying. She had a bad stroke 9 months ago and has made almost no progress in recovery. She has seizures, can't use her right side, can barely use her left side, has an incurable bladder infection (over 6 months)... and now has mrsa in her lungs.

She was high on something when we visited her tonight.... probably morphine... and we had a great visit... laughing about her escapades .. drunk and doing doughnuts in the car.

I respect her for calling it quits. I hope I would do the same under her condition. I feel a bit of relief and I try not to feel guilty about it. My wife has felt a great burden in taking care of her sisters papers and bills and personal needs. While I wish no one harm.... I hope this ends smoothly as this will remove a great burden from my wife.

Anyway.... thanks for listening.

This is really quite good. I am 20 minutes in and have already enjoyed it. I think someone posted the Pinker part... but this is the whole thing.

So Pinker is just as out of touch with reality as the rest of academia. Trump has been in office a year; what has he done which is so awful? It was always obvious that all Trump was ever going to do was change a few laws (if he could), most of which would be aimed at boosting the economy, which is what he has done. The "Trump is a dangerous lunatic" narrative is flogging a dead horse. Meanwhile the SJWs have fucked our entire culture.
When you factor in the brazen corruption of the Clintons and DNC, it really should have been a slam-dunk, if it weren't for the zombie-like tribalism of people on the left.

Stay cool, John. Sounds like it's a rational considered decision. I like to think I'd do the same. I had pancreatitis a couple of years ago, for which they gave me four shots of IV hydromorphone (Dilaudid) over three hours. If I was in chronic intense pain, I'd love to be able to float myself out on that.

So what does the pit think of Sargon's new 'Liberalist' movement, is he on a worthwhile crusade or is it just Cringe as Mr Metokur has suggested. Here he is fending off a few Alt-Right critics.

My current record is 0/100 for predicting how such things will turn out...

...that said, I don't think that Sargon will be able to translate his online popularity into a real world political movement - especially if the following is the standard of his criticism of others:

I wouldn't count out the mainstream media just yet to start and maintain a long term campaign to grind him (and his associates) down.

No one on the panel was a Trump supporter.

That said, at least one of the panelists had spoken to Trump supporters and asked them what they think.

Next thing would be to actually have a Trump supporter on to speak for themselves. But you know..baby steps.

(Perhaps a better title for the vid would be: "How those on the Left can come to terms with the Trump Presidency").

When Pinker claims that SJW's create their own antagonists called the Alt Right he is exactly correct. And Marx would agree with him. It's called dialectics. Guess what disco back in the 70's created? People who hated disco. If you tell me the job is not mine even though I am the best qualified because I'm a white male, guess what you just created? Correct. Another person who hates race-gender based hiring and advocates for merit hiring.
Perhaps PZ's biggest gripe, though, is the statement that those alt-righters may very well be intelligent people.
