If the members of the California State Legislature had to get real jobs, most of them would have been fired by now. Incapable of solving any of the problems that have crippled California, they instead fritter away their time giving perks to special interests and passing endless new regulations that have decimated [...]
IQ, conservatism and racism
Posted on February 8, 2012 - Filed Under Agenda based science, Conservatism, News, Psychology, Racism, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science, liberalism | 3 Comments
On 22nd January I commented on claims by two Canadian psychologists to the effect that conservatives and racists have low IQs. One look at the study told me that it was brainless so I just reproduced the journal abstract and pointed out two of the things that made it brainless. I didn’t see [...]

In a profoundly unscientific article, two female physicists are apparently deeply disturbed by the reality concerned. Under the heading “Women in physics: A tale of limits” Rachel Ivie and Casey Langer Tesfaye have written a long screed that can be summarized with both brevity and accuracy by a very fashionable whine: “We bin [...]

In their constant struggle to get control of what we eat, the food Fascists are always warning us that “obesity” will give us diabetes, which is a very nasty ailment indeed. But, as far as I can see, this is deliberate dishonesty. A well-known symptom of diabetes is insatiable eating (“polyphagia” [...]

Here at the site we often take Hollywood to task for its outrageous liberalism, and rightfully so. Of course it’s our job to look for the worst cases to alert you all about the nagging left-wing bias. But occasionally there are stories that are good ones and it is incumbent upon us [...]
Debunking Myths about Gender and Mathematics Performance?
Posted on December 22, 2011 - Filed Under Agenda based science, China, Education, News, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science, Social Engineering, feminism | Comments Off
There is an amusing paper in the forthcoming JANUARY 2012 NOTICES OF THE AMS (American Mathematical Society) which purports to show that it is only oppression of women by society which causes females not to do well in mathematics.
The paper was of course zealous to rule out genetic differences but that does [...]
Breastfeeding children ‘cuts risk of obesity and diabetes in later life’
Posted on December 22, 2011 - Filed Under Healthcare, News, Parenting, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science | 1 Comment
Ho hum! This mystical epidemiological knowledge never stops.
I have no doubt that breast feeding is a generally good thing but saying which of the effects described below is due to breast feeding is impossible. There are strong social class effects on breastfeeding, with lower class mothers less likely to do it. [...]

The Warmists will do anything to protect their cult. Well, anything but practice what they preach, sacrifice to Gore, live a “sustainable” life. That’s what you’re supposed to do (via Tom Nelson)
(SMH) IF YOU are down a blind alley searching for that perfect Christmas gift for your climate sceptic friend, you could do worse than [...]

The Warmists really can’t help themselves. They keep digging and digging and attempting to blame mankind’s release of greenhouse gases for events that have happened for time immemorial
Could the earthquake in Haiti have been a man-made disaster?
No. But, don’t let reality, history, and science get in the way.
If you ever doubted that human action was [...]
The obesity warriors strike again: “Diabetes risk of two takeaways in a week (and women are more in danger)”

The finding below is almost certainly a social class effect. Many middle class people “wouldn’t be seen dead” in McDonalds whereas working class people tend to appreciate its good value. The fact that the McDonald’s munchers were also fatter also suggests that it is the characteristics of working class people that [...]

Prof. Parkin is an industrious little blighter. He has taken seventeen supposed risk factors one by one and done a meta-analysis of the effects of each one. So he has a total of seventeen journal articles in the one issue of the British Journal of Cancer.
His industry did not however seem to include [...]
Washington Post: Hey, Why Is Occupy So Darned Whitebread?

The Washington Post’s headline is actually Why blacks aren’t embracing Occupy Wall, but, it might as well have asked why the Occupiers are 98.4% pale faces
Occupy Wall Street might seem like a movement that would resonate with black Americans. After all, unemployment among African Americans is at 15 percent, vs. almost 8 percent for whites. [...]
Another Leftist claim of psychological dysfunction among conservatives

Leftists have been projecting their own psychological deficiencies onto Conservatives since at least 1950 — and they are not going to give up any time soon.
The latest installment is a book by Warmist Chris Mooney called “The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Don’t Believe in Science”. Below is an announcement [...]

Prof. Bisgaard has written a lot in this area so one can understand that he might be reluctant to let go of his theory but it is disturbing that he seems to have misled the journalist writing below.
As far as I can tell, the relevant journal article is “Reduced diversity [...]

He has been doing his best to score points out of the preliminary findings of the Berkeley climate project but is having trouble. The Berkeley people have noted that changes in the Gulf Stream could be responsible for many of the temperature changes observed so he checks with an expert on the Gulf Stream [...]
