I'm not sure I'm convinced but it's good that such a man is not easily compared to others.

If these awkward genital conditions are true, so what?

How does that interact with sociology?

What Is Kennedy’s Problem With Medication? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...

I don't know what RFK thinks.

The classic Foucauldian take is that drugs will neutralize the pain of the social behavioral modification.

Stop blaming Big Pharma and start blaming critical theory broadly.

Blaming computerized Ai is like blaming Big Pharma for Covid-19.

Stop using critical theory psychology. This has been my point all along.

No one is teaching uniformity and even if they were, it wouldn't be the problem.

People are teaching sociology and memetics as valid scholarship.

Uniformity is simply confusion.

Showing myself that Fodor's 1983 philosophy while wrong, was political progress. He challenges evolution while encouraging not stifling debate.

He's wrong in an inconvient way for me. Mercier is correct

Fodor's modularity is as if psycho-analysis, literary and art theory weren't bs.

He seemed like a lovely and brilliant man.

As I see it much has been held up by a stunting of the human sciences of the mind.

I can't say enough terrible things about sociology. It's always been Ai, computerized or not.

The computer was named after Watson.

The Ruling About Passports Isn’t About ID. It’s About Social Control. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/o...

Gender ID matters in a system stuck justifying itself with crit theory. I support it.

The sociological overlap of CT and Communism, though, is fascinating.

CT is still just sociology.

I had a ex concerned with this. She seemed to imply something sexually conspiratorial.

The tech seems primative. Certainly a better visual could avoid the murkiness.

Good analogy. I still don't care for misleading accusations in a crit theory universe. That he's a public figure isn't an excuse. I mean that not just morally and ethically, but logistically, scientifically and psychologically.

What is true of CTE does not justify giving people with it socio-constellations to chase their struggle into mirroring madness or believe the Dire clone is a species resurrection.

Seems a very likeable guy.

I probably would vote for Cuomo even though he looks and sometimes campaigns like a goon.

This may depend if Progressives continue to alienate the brightest positions while encouraging dead-end psychology in the name of politics.

One way of suggesting my unique grievance about the mode of critical theory.

Had Einstein naturally been a better violinist, he'd have been a better physicist or maybe not a physicist at all, despite. Or both.

Today we can safely address the problem of sociology broadly can't we?

Great episode.

My take?

Evolution and emergence are not the same and we shouldn't throw the word evolve around when we mean emergence.

Sociology and science seem to have a convergence problem that matters beyond experts.

As a passionate fan of Hugo Mercier, I'm finding a strange schism where some ev psychers lean more with EO Wilson.

Socio-Biology sounds more like the dark side of DEI or what DEI hates. Ev psych is not Socio-Biology.

Consillience is a cool idea. It runs into the problem of story as fundemental.

It's racketeering. Crit theory owes for fifty years of fraudulence.

What can a person do bouncing off of the predictability of high speed trading as doctrine?

Some investors should be worried. Playing both sides may mean profiting off a setup intentionally or not to trip up everyone else.

When I say inequitable, I mean weird outcomes.

I'm referring to the inequity cast by leading a bad type of problem people get stuck in that wouldn't otherwise exist.

Protestants see to story this socio-genetic addiction.

I call it bad science as psychology as education.

When I say Marxist, I mean Marxian.

I'm describing bad sociology and bad economics, scientism broadly, where philosophy blurs with sociology suggesting science.

I'm not summing individual points and then judging each point necessarily in context of the whole.

Weed is the stupidest drug. I just can't get into it. It's not a replacement or solution to booze, either.

The solution to booze for anyone of any level of drinking is Naltexone self-administered.

It offers increasing objectivity and perspective on scaling consequences.

Woman aren't that spacially poor at all. That would be like asserting that woman can't run.

Missing the point, again.

It's the assumptions one makes about groupthink in a critical theory operational mode that is the problem.

Crit theory is so much less necessary than some seem to wish to cling to. This is a problem since it's likely already illegal.

There's two versions of the criticism. The smart one identifies Progressives as a version of narrative and metaphysical Evangelicals.
More frightening yet is the pervasive belief that a generation of American citizens was born lacking all intellectual curiosity, as though by some fluke, while our educational establishments continued to serve us well.

When Cosmides and Tooby said they discovered a female spacial advantage, they were identifying a symbolic like organization that is better described as an emergent property in a spacial lacking.

This needs to be understood or the Democrats are going to tear apart in stories taken too seriously.
