Bill: “…an overwhelming male advantage at high levels of math achievement has been greatly reduced during the last six decades.” I’ll tell you how it was done. Well-to-do parents went to secondary school principals in the 1970’s and 1980’s and laid down a clear message: ”Our daughters are going to apply to the best schools and they’re going to need math grades at least equal to the boys’. Make it happen.” And they did. Math class was transformed so girls would get better grades than boys. The...
Sam J.: “…So it must be genetic… because Jews rub their hands? Which gene, or set of genes, do you imagine is responsible for that?…” Don’t know or care. It is a general trait Jews are known for. Frequently caricatured to the amusement of all. “…That odd notion aside, what kind of proof would you accept? Studies in population genetics? Or would you dismiss those, reflexively, as Jewish tricks? …” Already putting conditions on me to do this, do that,...
Kirk: It might be interesting to take a long and hard look at assortative mating preferences. I’ve observed that women typically do not date or care to be around men who are what we might term “people-skilled 221;. If you want to be successful at the mating game, you have to conform to the usual male stereotypes, and if you don’t…? Good luck, because you’re going to need it to find a woman. I’ve got a friend who’s hetero as they come; however, this guy is...
Sam J.: Much better fuel https://nh3fuelassociati on.org/comparisons/
Unicephalon40D: “It’s genetic as Jews seem to have a common behavior. A simple one. The Jew hand clenching/rubbing behavior. A shit load of Jews do this yet I never see any other group doing this.” So it must be genetic… because Jews rub their hands? Which gene, or set of genes, do you imagine is responsible for that? That odd notion aside, what kind of proof would you accept? Studies in population genetics? Or would you dismiss those, reflexively, as Jewish tricks? In any case,...
Sam J.: TRX says,”…An interesting half hour of web searching seems to indicate English doesn’t appear to have a specific word for “doesn’t like Jews or Judaism…” Here I’ll help you out. 1. Decent 2. Honorable 3. Competent 4. Reliable 5. Insightful 6. Trustworthy 7. Unsheeplike (yeah I made that one up but it’s a good one. Expect to see it in Websters any time now) 8. Nazi 9. Religious 10.

Sam J.: Unicephalon40D says, “…To say that an Ethiopian and a Russian Ashkenazi are Jews “because they descended from Jews” is possibly true but conveys extremely little information….̶ 1; OK. This change this up a little. To say that a Cow and a Cow are Cows “because they descended from Cows” is possibly true but conveys extremely little information. To say that a Doberman and Doberman are Dobermans “because they descended from Dobermans” is possibly true but conveys extremely...
Sam J.: “…So what is a Jew if there is (1) no common genetic or ethnic component…” I don’t believe this. Prove it. It’s not too much to ask you to do this as you are telling me that people descended from Jews are…are not Jews and have no genetic relationship. This on the face of things appears to be mindless nonsense or some sort of miraculous divine relationship…that I’m not buying. Maybe Jews have some special, relatives but not relatives super...
Slovenian Guest: Anyone else irked by him saying cave instead of man-cave? Reminds me of some American book author referring to cave-men as cave-persons; if anything it’s cave-people! It’s so cringe-worthy because if there was ever a place in time and history where men were men, it was the god-damned stone age!
Unicephalon40D: “I don’t even know why people bother to type up such ridiculously stupid nonsense.” It seems to me that you haven’t thought this through. Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnic group, but “Jews” in a broader sense are not. There is no clear genetic connection between the Ashkenazi Jew and the Moroccan or Iraqi Jew — so there is no ethnic connection — though the two groups have much in common, and such stereotypically Jewish figures as the Sassoons,...
Sam J.: Dave,”As for carbon-neutral shipping, why not just use sails?” Too slow. Time is money. I wonder if we could not turn all our water reactors into thorium reactors. If you lined the walls with ceramic it would keep the steel from reacting I believe. There are many castable high temperature materials that could work.
Sam J.: Alrenous says,”…Like most sociological phenomena, the Jewish thing comes about by satisfying several drives simultaneously. One: envy. Jews are more successful than I am, ergo (via monkey logic) they must be evil… …Two: witches are personal… …Three: defence against change…” Notice how pathetically weak your arguments are and all rely on some “perceived” failure on the part of people who criticize the Jews. “Why it’s just...
Bert: Wow, I didn’t even notice that. Similar setting; didn’t bother to compare. Still, it’s too heavy-handed to be a fraud, so the question is: joke or honest mistake?
TRX: “The process emits nothing but oxygen and water out the ‘tailpipe’.& #8221; That’s something that’s widely repeated across the media, and even in some SAE and IMechE papers, but it’s simply not true. Given the politicization and fund-mongering usually driving those papers, it might be termed “a lie.” Hydrogen and oxygen, burned together, will do as described. But air is mostly nitrogen, and hydrogen and air burn down to, among other things, a class of...
Skeptical Guest: It’s not the same video. Not even close. Judging by the size of the trees in the second video at least 30 or 40 years elapsed between the first video and the second. Try again.
TRX: Judaism is a religion, not a race. The patriarchs in Tel Aviv ruled fairly conclusively on that when they infolded the Ethiopian Jews in the early ’90s. An interesting half hour of web searching seems to indicate English doesn’t appear to have a specific word for “doesn’t like Jews or Judaism.” There’s “hebephobic” , which is sometimes used, but actually means something rather different. Hm. English is famously known to dragging other languages into...
CVLR: Kirk, this is quite a change of tone; I’m a little surprised. When did you become a hateful antisemite? How does it feel to be an evil racist?
Kirk: End of the day, the best and highest use for hydrogen is as an easily stored hydrocarbon, preferably one created to minimize pollution. There really isn’t a good way to store or transport hydrogen, period. Every single alternative falls down on the amount of waste you get from leaks, and how it tends to break down the containers it is stored in. If,however, you put it into a benzene ring, guess what? Easily stored, easily handled with existing infrastructure, and much more energy-dense than...
Kirk: The whole thing boils down to sex-based adaptation to environment and role. In the grand scheme of things, men roamed and hunted, while women gathered and “kept cave/camp”. Why anyone would be surprised at this is what is astounding to me. Granted that humans are enormously plastic (practically our defining trait, TBH), the fact is that there are still hard-wired traits that are identifiable as being more common in men than women, as well as the reverse. This isn’t a sign of...
