Happy 199th birthday, John Stuart Mill! “All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.” Check out more of Mill's best quotes here: www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/top-10-joh...

Early atheists believed that getting rid of religion would lead to the rise of evidence-based thinking, but instead people mostly moved to non-religious dogmas that fulfill similar social and psychological needs (virtue signaling etc)

Ça me paraît suspect l'idée que les tradwives au foyer soient nécessairement manipulée ou victime de "misogynie internalisée" plutôt que des personnes ayant fait un choix globalement dans leur intérêt personnel

Avec l'estempillage par les médias comme "interdit" de la musique nazie de Kanye West et l'effet Streisand qui en résulte, j'imagine bien le phénomène être amplifié et perçu comme cool et subversif par ex. chez les plus jeunes

Sheer luck to freeze this moment where both hummingbirds are both sharp in the same frame I’ve had my share of photos with two or more birds in the same frame. Even a few lucky enough to have two different species interacting This Allen’s and Anna’s hummingbird being territorial is a good one 📷🪶

"Yes, You Do Have to Tolerate the Intolerant" open.substack.com/pub/yaschamo...

Faire revenir l'idée de races humaines est très en vogue dans les milieux réactionnaires en ligne. Pour échapper à l'incohérence génétique de l'idée le terme a l'air constamment redéfini et dilué pour échapper aux critiques.

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

The intellectual dishonesty is real

"Biological sex is binary, even though there is a rainbow of sex roles - Denying biological sex is anthropocentric and promotes species chauvinism" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #biology #sex #gender

Did the British Medical Association declare that sex is not binary? Not exactly: resident doctors attending a conference voted a (emotionally-charged) policy proposal that will be discussed among BMA members, and strongly implies that sex is not binary #biology #binarySex #gender

The anthropologist Kristina Killgrove blocked me for disagreeing with her non-scientific belief that sex is not binary. The fact that BlueSky is a progressive echo chamber where fringe theories are celebrated is kind of annoying.
