RSSI think that many of the comments made are valid ones. One thing came to my mind as I read this article, and that was a conversation that I had with a co-worker several years ago. We were both single, and intelligent undergrads that had a very difficult time finding and forming strong relationships with the opposite sex. (I’m female, he, um male) We were talking about this one day at the university park, when it occurred to me that for ‘average’ people it is easier to find a mate because the playing field is quite made for them. That is, MOST people are average – that is what average is, therefore there are more people with whom one will feel compatible with. As far as people who are above average, the playing field becomes more complicated, and there are fewer people with whom you can find companionship. It is also quite possible that the things that above average people are looking for in a companion/intimate partner become more complicated with each incremental increase in IQ. Perhaps the need for common interests and philosophical views are more specific? Certainly, even ‘average’ people seek mates that are like them in someway. Seeking such traits sorts out people that are not an optimal genetic fit for procreation. This would explain why people with high IQ’s are often viewed as ‘less desirable’ by social norms and why high IQ men are having more sex with prostitutes (so as not to become formally involved with their partners). I think it would be interesting to see a study that correlates sexual activity, IQ/careers of both partners, and IQ/careers of their subsequent children.

@#26 and 28. Thanks for the explanation. I learned a lot. My guess is that “being watched” is a euphmism for “he has had every test under the sun performed, including analysis of pathogens (if possible) and is probably a case study in a medical journal somewhere.” It is implied that the 2 children with CF do not carry Bcc organisms. What a waste of time if everyone concerned is Bcc negative.
RE: your previous post mentioning Jason Malloy’s look into the GSS data and the decline of the male homosexual.
I was looking at mortality tables in the US for the major infectious pathogens before and after vaccines became available.
The flu vaccine’s use grew widespread in the late ’80s-90s in the US. Maybe the decline in gay males is related to the increase in immunization against influenza.
After all, they did determine that H1N1 caused an increase in cases of narcolepsy a couple of years ago.
I meant to provide this link with the above post:
http://healthland.time.com/2011/08/23/the-curious-link-between-h1n1-flu-and-narcolepsy/
At first, the increase in cases there was blamed on the H1N1 vaccine (of course, the vaccine crazies), but Dr. Minot of Stanford, the world’s foremost expert on narcolepsy, took off for Asia to investigate for himself, and he and his team concluded that the increase in cases was among those who hadn’t yet gotten any vaccine.
Who knows just how many chronic pathologies are triggered by a flu virus. Too bad we don’t have any data about how many males in Canada/US born around 1915-1920 wound up gay ( the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic). If we did, we could compare that data to a comparable period of infants-toddlers in years not hit heavily by the flu.
YES! Jody (assuming you’re female?) I cannot understand why no men have picked up on the creepy, rapist-like vibe I get from George P. I believe it’s all in the eyes.
Steve, please don’t EVER stop covering Jeb and his pathetic, beta, cuck life. From the midget mestizo wife (according to his mom, his first girlfriend) to whom he speaks only Spanish, to the daughter addicted to Xanax and caught with a rock of crack in her shoe at rehab, to the Professional Mestizo Heir George P. – please, for your readers’ sake…never stop covering the Bushes.
Re: the anti-Trump mob’s psychological projection – Steve, if you haven’t already read it, look online for a free PDF version of Anna Freud’s “The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense.” My dad, the world’s lone non-Jewish psychiatrist/psychoanalyst, highly recommends it. Leftist mobs always act from a primitive position of psych regression. There are some interesting psychoanalytic studies of political lefty terrorism too. Nancy Kobrin (a non-M.D., but still good) writes some good stuff about the pathologies of Islam and Muslims, too.
Steve, this is off-topic, but please obtain a paper copy of today’s NYT and check out the obits. Tupac’s mom, Afeni Shakur, has sadly left this Earth! She’s up there with Huey Newton now as they watch over us all. Afeni Shakur, the Patron Saint of Crack Rocks & Hennessey.
I have the paper in front of me right now because I’m laughing out loud at the writing. Choice quotes:
-“Afeni Shakur died of a cardiac arrest at age 69.” She was a longtime crackhead who neglected and abused a growing Tupac. Rumor has it she returned to the pipe after his unfortunate drive-by. Did crack lead to any early-ish death? NYT would never speculate…
-“Last year, Ms. Shakur’s voice resurfaced on Kendrick Lamar’s album To Pimp A Butterfly.”
-“In his song ‘Dear Mama’, Tupac rapped about his mother’s drug addiction and her efforts to raise him as a single mother, portraying their bond as ultimately rooted in respect and honesty.” If memory serves, the lyrics from the song (not printed in the obit) are “even though you was a crack fiend, Mama, you was always a black queen, Mama.”
-“‘We mourning an activist,’ rapper Cormega wrote on social media.”
There’s so much more. Please read and appreciate this gem of an obit…
RIP, Afeni Shakur!
O/T: Steve, did you see this? Very latest on the fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scam:
Steve, I’ve been posting off-topic today about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes because I’m dying to hear your take on the feminist scam of the century. Feminism and its perpetual hoaxes once again leave due diligence in the dust. I’m also wondering (as a female) why Holmes has such an incredibly low voice (did you notice that, too?) Just watch five minutes of her talking on YouTube, with her tired feminist and corporate-consulting pablums, all recited in that masculine voice… WTF? And she claims to never read books, WTF again! The whole thing cried out for massive due diligence from the very beginning.
Just a few preliminary Google searches of “Meredith Perry” + “uBeam” has all the red flags in the world waving in unison. Women should stay far away from tech and Silicon Valley.
"It is not the critic who counts..." says the Teddy Roosevelt-themed inspirational poster in her super-fab office in Santa Monica with a view of the Pacific.
Some observers have been critical of the company's ultrasound technology, stating that uBeam's claims are unlikely to be achievable within safe power limits.
Yeah yeah but who leaves their mice unshaven these days? Within minutes? Why are the mice standing still in the path of a electricity beam for minutes? Why are they standing in the path of progress?
The intensity of the proposed system announced in November 2015[4] is at or above most peak occupational exposure limits, and sufficient to kill an unshaven mouse within minutes from thermal effects.
That's all I needed to hear, the power cords in my house are just hideous and I also have an awful unshaved mouse infestation. Having my lights and appliances randomly cut out all the time whenever something gets between their receiver and the house's uBeams is a small price to pay.Replies: @Alec Leamas, @Mr. Anon, @Big Bill, @Dave Pinsen, @Marie
The company states that the beam will cut out automatically if it is intercepted by objects other than the receiver, ensuring safety.

Kristol’s such an embarrassment. 1) How does he even get out of bed in the morning? 2) Why don’t he, the Podhoretzes, Jennifer Rubin et al. just move to Israel already? I’m sure there’s some West Bank settlement in development with their name already on it.
Every time I see his stupid smirking face on Twitter, I want to punch the screen.
Oh, yeah…regarding the neocon cuck David French who allowed his brainwashed/pathologically altruistic wife to indulge her evangelical orphan obsession with an African kid: it’s just too bad Russell Moore and the influential Soros evangelicals are so evil.
His wife is marginally better recognized by Google, it seems. After all, she’s Bristol Palin’s ghostwriter. There are some lefty blogs from Alaska that use the mocking portmanteau ‘Brancy’ when referring to Bristol/Nancy French and her/their subpar writing skills. The ‘autobiography’ of Bristol Palin – which Nancy French wrote – is such an embarrassment. She manages to get the words on paper, but that’s about it. What a weird family. Another embarrassing fact: David wouldn’t let Nancy email men when he was deployed. I mean, I understand the cheating thing…but come on.
A significant number of people (like me) will no doubt find Trump’s thinking-as-he-speaks extemporaneous style incredibly refreshing. I’m a former debater, and I can’t even watch five minutes of Ted Cruz talking without wondering why he always sounds like he’s reading off his debate notes. Trump, I think, is much, much more intelligent than what his nouveau riche/New Money facade suggests. Plus, he’s hysterical. Watching him eviscerate Jeb! was magical.
She’s also got a morally confused, devious and paranoid homosexual (David Brock), Muslim lesbian lady-in-waiting (Huma Weiner) and hordes of brainwashed feminists all across the fruited plain.
I remember reading somewhere that when the Manson Family women first entered Death Row (circa ’69-’70) they would always whip up some grape Tang for their visitors (said visitors being assorted feminist kooks from academia). So if Tang was already hitting peak popularity then, it might explain why I (born in late eighties) never witnessed a Tang craze amongst my peers. The gross freeze-dried astronaut food and bizarre Dippin’ Dot ice cream was huge, though.

Sweden: Rape Capital of the West
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5195/sweden-rape
“Forty years after the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the formerly homogenous Sweden into a multicultural country, violent crime has increased by 300% and rapes by 1,472%. Sweden is now number two on the list of rape countries, surpassed only by Lesotho in Southern Africa.”
My God, our country is in such deep trouble. White pathological altruism will be America’s downfall. Reading and researching these issues is so incredibly depressing. It’s a sadistic coterie of envious non-whites and masochistic white people gleefully churning out books and articles and papers about the Browning of America via white demographic dispossession, subjugation and humiliation.

I may be late in mentioning this, but this is the NYT title of the Faludi book review:
“Father Was A Vicious Bully. Then He Became a Woman.”
Please, everyone, enjoy the mendacity: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/13/books/review-susan-faludi-in-the-darkroom.html
Regarding this:
“In 1944, every Budapest man who wasn’t in uniform risked “trouser inspections” — meaning her father’s genitalia, which he’d one day be rid of, could at any moment have betrayed him as a Jew”
— supposedly (I read this in a ’70s-era biography) Roman Polanski, the child rapist auteur, gained a measure of Holocaust-era infamy amongst other Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland when he would use melted candle wax to fake a foreskin.
L.A. has also had to deal with Tony Villar, alias Antonio Villaraigosa, one of my personal favorite players in the grand mestizo-ization of SoCal.
Curious as to how the coalition of the fringes might manage to excuse the horrific rape of boys (bacha bazi) and turn it into something like a ‘genderqueer performative act’, I searched “bacha bazi” + “queering” and… bingo!

Oh yeah, and Steve – why nothing yet on the ‘abolish the Second Amendment’ SJW rant by (((David Cohen))) (sorry, couldn’t resist the parentheses, too fitting) over at the Jackie Coakley fanzine?
Ron, just in case you’re interested in the anti-American/’social justice’/irredentist version of Silicon Valley immigration history (published in academic presses by tenured academics, naturally), I’ll direct your attention to these two books:

OT again, sorry, but the latest de Blasio insanity has me laughing out loud and thinking about Tom Wolfe:
“New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gathered government officials and celebrities Wednesday for a dramatic, live reading of the Stanford University sexual assault victim’s letter.”
A lethal cabal of heretical, hysterically misandrist ‘women religious’ have been infecting the Protestant Mainline churches for some decades now. I suppose one might call it ‘New Age pablum meets warmed-over CultMarx, with the theologically sound backing of radical lesbian feminist goddess worship’. I’m not exaggerating:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Imagining_(Christian_feminist_conference)
https://juicyecumenism.com/2012/07/03/1254/
Gary North wrote a great book about how liberals and leftists totally ruined the mainline Presbyterian Church (PCUSA).
I knew it! Leftist, ahistorical feminists have so thoroughly pervaded all disciplines of academia that it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone (at least not Unz people) that a tenured Harvard Divinity prof like Karen King would prove to be completely intellectually dishonest. My SJW Radar is constantly alert to this type of thing…unfortunately.
So, it seems Karen L. King earns her keep at Harvard Divinity School via her “particular theoretical interests in discourses of normativity (orthodoxy and heresy), gender studies, and religion and violence.” The SJW alarm bells went off immediately upon learning of her authorship of books on ‘goddesses’ and ‘divine feminism’ in the church.
There’s an extremely amusing backstory to all of this further explained in Mary Kassian’s amazing books “The Feminist Mistake: The Radical Impact of Feminism on Church and Culture” and “The Feminist Gospel”.
OT – Steve, I think you’ll enjoy these books, as I’ve been reading my way through their insanity and thoroughly enjoying every Critical-Race-Theoried minute:
Oh, and speaking of the frightening North American Union and the globalists – so, I was wondering this morning about what happened to the Council on Foreign Relations’ desire for that currency called the ‘amero’. Remember the Amero? So, I quickly searched “Robert Pastor” + “Amero” and juuuust like magic…
“To most people who know him, Robert A. Pastor is a distinguished professor of international relations at American University, a long-time foreign policy adviser to Democratic presidents and candidates, the author or editor of 16 books, and the director of the Center for North American Studies. But to a rapidly growing number of people on the extreme right, this lifelong scholar is a “globalization pimp,” one of the “traitors” trying to “effectively destroy the United States of America” (LOL)
P.S. Why is Bill Weld, current libertarian VP, listed as co-chair of the Council on Foreign Relations’ ‘Building a North American Community’ task force? Why didn’t that automatically disqualify him from the Libertarian Party itself?! Is it because they’re too busy getting high and performing stripteases at their national conventions? I wish Rothbard were still alive for this election season…
Well, *of course* they could learn more from Israel. But isn’t it just more fun to outsource all utopian urban planning schemes to the crack team of wise sociologists at UChicago? Scholars like… Sudhir Venkatesh! (Remember his embarrassing ‘Gang Leader For A Day’?)
I mean, really. Why look up to those no-nonsense, successful Israelis when your local Marxist sociologist and/or socialist urban planner will do just fine?
I can’t imagine living with Hillary’s severe personality disorder and NOT turning to the bottle. I’m sure former Politburo members and assorted Soviet apparatchiks would sympathize quite easily with her boozy fight from reality. The vodka martinis probably dissipate the paranoia and homicidal rage. What a seriously disturbed woman she is…
“The reason Sabrina stopped being a good reporter is because she fell in love with the story.”
She could never have been a good reporter because she wasn’t interested in reporting a story based on facts.. Her interest was in crafting a narrative based on anti-white male prejudice.
She fell in love with the story because of her animus toward white males, specifically white frat boys.
There would have been no story and no love if some college girl claimed a group of black males raped her.
I have nothing but contempt for her.
You sure got that right... the propaganda in this country has gotten so thick you can practically walk on it.

Ten years ago (this was in high school), I was strangely unaffected by the mandatory classroom viewing of The Killing Fields. The movie was a staple in government school curricula then and I’m sure it still is now. I then read Schanberg’s book out of additional curiosity, became horrified, read “Year Zero” by that French journalist, became even more horrified, and so on and so forth. But I didn’t dwell on it by any means. Thus Schanberg’s morality, rare courage and honesty of reporting (qualities you can’t take for granted in the current year) remained basically unknown to me in that interim period before I read his shocking McCain expose. It physically hurt to read the truth about McCain and the POW cover-up after logging untold hours in ’08 volunteering – in good faith – for his useless, retarded campaign.
It is so unbelievably shocking, but not at all surprising, that the quislings and pseudo-intellectual liars in the MSM (pretending to be journalists) would work to totally cover up the basic truths to which Sydney Schanberg wrote and affirmed.
> Step 1: Communist murders JFK
>Step 2: Lying press ignore aforementioned Communism, proceed to smear and blame those eeeeevil Birchers

>Step 4: In the current year, the NYT celebrates the “city’s white mayor, white county executive, black police chief, Latino city manager and Latina lesbian sheriff”, who have “projected a striking image of modern melting-pot Dallas…”
Imagine, if you will, being the joyless Leftist in the NYT newsroom, committed to The Narrative at all costs, assigned to churn out headlines such as:
“In Nice, a Vibrant Celebration Gives Way to a Trail of Death”
“A Surly Misfit With No Terror Links Turned a Truck Into a Tank”

“I have little doubt that if American journalists were a bit more conversant with the higher reaches of academic testing…” But being conversant presupposes that they’re intelligent enough to understand the topic (or even accept its validity, thanks to the Soviet-era levels of political correctness that have marinated the mind of many a journalist). The incredible groupthink, or as Sobran put it ‘hive mind’, amongst most journalists today precludes them from honest intellectual investigation. Mediocre hit pieces on the latest politically-incorrect deviant or deviation in thought are MUCH more emotionally satisfying for these people.
Thank you for that amazing paper. “…an anti-racist convocation, which I compare to a religious revival meeting” Absolutely true – the obvious parallels between SJW insanity and religious revivals of the past must be emphasized continuously (and isn’t, thanks to idiotic, know-nothing ‘journalists’)
He refers to the future of SJW nonsense as a “bottomless pit of ever-increasing toxicity” – how very sad and true…

Cheney, Kristol, Goldberg, Kagan, McTraitor – DEPORT!
Huma Weiner so obviously banked on Carlos Danger easily climbing the political ranks and affording her a lifetime of taxpayer-funded luxury, just like ol’ Hillary and Bill. You would have to be either braindead or a true sociopath to be okay with Bill Clinton officiating at your wedding, and yet it seems that the toxic brew of personality disorders and greed afflicted not only the Clintons but both Huma and Carlos as well. These qualities most likely cemented their early spiritual and psychological bond with the Clintons…and what a lifelong bond it is…
Alas! (((Carlos))) was but a mere rat-faced intellectual mediocrity and narcissistic, lackluster pol, preferring to indulge his sex addiction come what may. He and wife were not afforded the total North Korea-style propaganda whitewashing of his crimes (again, a la Bill and Hillary) in the mainstream press, and the harsh truths of the Internet laid bare the depravities of the Weiners for all to see. And what a depraved world it was…
Their gravy train was derailed! So now he’s taking care of the kid while Huma fulfills the feminist working-woman fantasy of carrying Hillary’s bags, scheduling granny naptime, disposing of various criminal evidence – and all the while printing out Sid Blumenthal’s emails.
What a heartbreaking story of Carlos and Huma Weiner – grifters that were never quite able to grift like their mentors….
Weiner political dynasty, R.I.P.!
It’s incomprehensible to me that Paul Wolfowitz isn’t permanently in exile on, oh, the Falkland Islands (or some such place). Then again, he’d probably recruit Kristol to start PNAC II and search desperately for any plausible pretense for the conscription of beleaguered Falklanders….so as to sate his thirst for yer another Falklands War.
These neocons must immediately turn their prodigious fantasies of warfare to a country that actually IS under attack 24/7; a country whose citizens, in perpetual awe of the neocons’ neocon-royalty heritage, will surely welcome their right of return…
Joe Kennedy, if you recall, cemented that timeless relationship with a little quid pro quo…e.g., cash bribes to Jackie provided she’d stay with Jack.
Compare the face of William Kristol’s Son-In-Law to the face of Vox’s resident autistic SJW Dylan Matthews. The physical resemblance is reflexive revolting – and yet simply uncanny…
Beta cuck shills, separated at birth, reunited by pseudo-intellectual careers in establishment ‘journalism’
OT: has anyone yet read Mormon cuck Glenn Beck’s latest NYT op-ed, ‘Empathy for Black Lives Matter’?
Now, as his Facebook page – presumably manned by Beck himself – regularly displays stream-of-consciousness writing tending toward the embarrassingly incoherent, the question naturally arises: who’s Glenn Beck’s ghostwriter?
We know that David French’s wife (and David French himself?) earns major shekels ghosting for the Palin clan, among other ‘Christian conservatives’. Are the Frenches behind idiocy like the following paragraph of Beck’s retarded op-ed?:
“After the massacre, I invited several Black Lives Matter believers on my show. I got to know them as people — on and off air — and invited them back again. These individuals are decent, hardworking, patriotic Americans. We don’t agree on everything, certainly not on politics; but are we not more than politics? I refuse to define each of them based on the worst among them. No movement is monolithic. The individuals I met that day are not “Black Lives Matter”; they are black Americans who feel disenfranchised and aggrieved; they are believers; they are my neighbors and my fellow citizens.”
LOL. Cuck harder, Glenn. Only a matter of time, it seems, until DeRay is extended an invite to a potluck at The Blaze HQ. Can’t wait until Beck goes under…

Sid Vicious also wore that T shirt whilst walking out with the very Jewish Nancy Spungen.
Nancy Spungen’s mom wrote an incredibly disturbing book about her that, as I recall, basically paints ol’ Nancy as a sociopath from birth.
She was actively despised by others in the – shall we say – ’70s punk rock ‘community’ for being an incredibly irritating and opportunistic groupie whore. I think Richard Hell was probably the only person who spoke semi-fondly of her…
Years ago, I remember that MoMA was obsessed with the supposed transgressive genius that inspired the so-called No Wave movement (a punk offshoot, circa late ’70s NYC).
Supposedly it was a fearless artistic movement borne of punk rock – and, to the evident delight of their degenerate curators, with even MORE avant-garde nihilism!
I bought this book they had for sale called “Deathtripping: The Cinema of Transgression”, written by one Jack Sargeant, who conducted various interviews with pseudo-intellectual artists of the movement – people like Nick Zedd, Richard Kern and Lydia Lunch. They were all so retarded, it’s absolutely hysterical.
I highly recommend the book for those who enjoy a really good hate-read now and again.
You would have to be both a hugely narcissistic *and* semi-literate moron in order to idolize the pathologically abnormal and vile Nancy Spungen.
Sounds just like the hugely untalented Courtney, who rode Kurt’s coattails from the very beginning. And everybody in Nirvana hates her, too. Looks like she got her wish….

Glenn has always struck me as extremely unstable and probably borderline – he’s got the very soul of a SJW. Supposedly he dreamed, at age thirty (!), of shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain. Hmmmmm….
Mormonism, itself probably a cult and definitely laden with bizarre beliefs (somewhat mitigated by their total emphasis on maintaining a conventional, nuclear family in The Current Year) seems to be acting as less and less a viable salve for his obvious psych issues as the years go on.

It seems the female ‘journalist’ who published this inanity is a German Jew with an M.A. in Jewish Studies (concentration, the Holocaust) who interned at PolitiFact and is now marinating in politically correct lies via NYU J-School’s grad program.

Funniest part of the op-ed was this:
“Through his online writings and YouTube channel, Mr. Spencer is a key player in the social-media universe where this core group of Trump supporters get their “news,” from sources with which most people aren’t familiar”
Oh, no! Sources with which ‘most people aren’t familiar’! Mayday, mayday! Scare quotes around “news” – if only those idiotic Trump supporters weren’t so sub-literate and raaaaacist, they’d be tattooing Charles Blow’s prose on their body and awaiting the columns of our controlled opposition, David Brooks and Ross Douthat, like manna from heaven!
Blast the NPR and don’t you dare change the channel from PBS – the NYT editorial board’s mandatory re-education awaits!
Who in God’s name picks the moderators for these things? I realize that the inheritor of Michael Steele’s job, moron cuck Reince Priebus, may not be the sharpest tool in the shed (to say the least), but WHO is allowing this to occur?!

Smartest women alive! Victims of unrelenting sexism! Anna Wintour loves them! Women can do it all, you talk-radio cavemen! Etc., etc., etc.
Literally every article I’ve ever read about conservatives and/or the conservative movement within the pages of the New Yorker – and I’ve read going back decades, unfortunately – has judiciously referenced ‘The Paranoid Style in American Politics’.
I mean, EVERY SINGLE article regarding Republicans, conservatives and/or opposition to leftism has the Hofstadter quote somewhere – it must be a staple on the J-School syllabi.
It seems Prof. Hofstadter was something of an adherent to the Frankfurt School nonsense – Marxism-meets-dime-store-Freud being every New Yorker writer’s stock in trade, of course…
Hillary actually looked decent tonight – her plastic surgeon obviously paid a visit very recently (I wonder how much of the Clintons’ criminal cash they have to pay him in order to do the injections in-home, Gaddafi-dictator-style).
Also, the makeup artist used enough bronzer to make her look like an animate being, and they obviously coordinated her gold jewelry with her skintone to make her look alive and not like the reanimated corpse of late. (As a female, you notice these things)
I just wonder what meds Huma had to give her…
I’m convinced that the hesitancy toward marriage comes from directly experiencing the broken homes and acrimonious divorces that were such common familial experiences for so many. And if you didn’t experience it yourself, at least half (or more) of your friends did…
‘Social justice math’ has been an ed-school favorite for at least a decade. It’s a CultMarx favorite in the academy. Countless braindead teachers have and are now teaching this dumbed-down SJW fare to their pliant charges, and are happy to permanently cripple their students’ minds in the name of ‘equality’ and ‘fairness’. Oh, and ‘anti-racism’.
Google “Eric Gutstein” and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Perhaps “big data” can learn from the small scale mathematics described by Ms. Ascher.Replies: @J, @Marie, @Yak-15, @res
Ethnomathematics: Challenging Eurocentrism in Mathematics Education Arthur B. Powell (Editor)
“Presents the emerging field of ethnomathematics from a critical perspective, challenging particular ways in which Eurocentrism permeates mathematics education and mathematics in general.
This collection brings together classic, previously-published articles and new research to present the emerging field of ethnomathematics from a critical perspective, challenging particular ways in which Eurocentrism permeates mathematics education. The contributors identify several of the field's broad themes--reconsidering what counts as mathematical knowledge, considering interactions between culture and mathematical knowledge, and uncovering hidden and distorted histories of mathematical knowledge. The book offers a diversity of ethnomathematics perspectives that develop both theoretical and practical issues from various disciplines including mathematics, mathematics education, history, anthropology, cognitive psychology, feminist studies, and African studies written by authors from Brazil, England, Australia, Mozambique, Palestine, Belgium, and the United States.”
Ethnomathematics: A Multicultural View of Mathematical Ideas by Marcia Ascher
“In this truly one-of-a-kind book, Ascher introduces the mathematical ideas of people in traditional, or "small-scale", cultures often omitted from discussion of mathematics. Topics such as "Numbers: Words and Symbols", "Tracing Graphs in the Sand", "The Logic of Kin Relations", "Chance and Strategy in Games and Puzzles", and "The Organization and Modeling of Space" are traced in various cultures including the Inuit, Navajo, and Iroquois of North America; the Inca of South America; the Malekula, Warlpiri, Maori, and Caroline Islanders of Oceania, and the Tshokwe, Bushoong, and Kpelle of Africa.”
I would gladly grant Trump the unconstitutional power to unilaterally shut down every ed-school in the country.
These so-called ‘educators’ are, more frequently than not, unrepentant New Leftists of the SDS and Venceremos variety (and occasionally ex-Weathermen terrorists/Symbionese Liberation Army cultists) who weren’t smart enough in the ’80s to make it in an actual, scholarly field – can you imagine Bill Ayers teaching organic chemistry? So, being totalitarians as well as intellectual mediocrities, they gravitated to the cesspool of America: schools of education.
Young Kipling spent the halcyon days of his childhood in British India…right? (I can’t remember and don’t feel like opening a new tab to search) but I remember reading somewhere that Orwell called him a disgusting ‘jingoistic imperialist’, lol. Why couldn’t George just sit back and enjoy his Empire’s imperialistic fruits? I bet the White Overlords of the British Raj, young Rudyard included, enjoyed only top-notch indentured servants and highest-quality country club service. Kind of like what the Rhodesians enjoyed? Hmm…every new iSteve post gives me intellectual ADD…
OT but absolutely necessary: this New Yorker article on the new (taxpayer-funded?) black history museum in DC featured this hilarious anecdote:
“Seven years ago, one such scholar, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., was arrested by a white police officer while trying to gain entrance to his own home, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This led to the now infamous “Beer Summit” with Gates, President Obama, and the arresting officer. Gates later offered the museum the handcuffs used to detain him. {Museum curator} Bunch initially declined the gift, before reversing himself.”
So Skip Gates – a man who definitely doesn’t owe his career and livelihood to affirmative action and white guilt, why would you even say that, you racist? – actually offered his worthless and meaningless handcuffs to a museum, and the curator ACCEPTED THEM!! Why does he even still have the handcuffs? Did he keep them under glass or something at home this whole time?
They should be displayed under a portrait of Ben Affleck dressed as a slaver cracking a bullwhip.
Gates later offered the museum the handcuffs used to detain him.
Feminism destroys *everything.* White men have obviously been the target of societal ridicule for decades, and all the while the media and academic frauds push SJW degeneracy nonstop on women who, quite frankly, are not psychologically capable of maintaining their sanity in the midst of hook-up culture.
Probably Exhibit A in that regard would be the Mattress Girl, who is my age and whose familial background is nearly identical to my own (except she’s half-Asian and half-Jewish – I’m WASP) and who, in true SJW fashion so common to my generation, revels in her identity as a ‘woman of color’, a status which supposedly gives her natural moral superiority over all whites and all those who might criticize her ruining the life of an innocent man. She’s the epitome of the narcissistic, raging, semi-literate, totally unbalanced feminist that guys our age must vigilantly watch out for and avoid at all costs – lest they end up in prison with their life ruined. It’s really unbelievable and very disturbing to witness.
You’re right about that anger – it’s always inchaote rage and grievance-mongering that keeps the feminist fires burning. SJWs and feminists are always seething with rage – they’re like volcanos on the constant brink of eruption.
If it’s any consolation to you, my parents feel the same way about my having kids (I’m in my twenties) and are similarly worried about the prospects of meeting future grandchildren. All I can say is: don’t give up hope yet, there’s still time!
She admitted at one point that John loved her masculine-looking visage precisely because he was (imagine my shock) closeted.
She’s the reason why modern art is such a fraudulent joke – Yoko’s fellow performance ‘artists’ stuff yams up their butt and smear chocolate syrup over their naked bodies while screaming incoherently about suicide, and then have the temerity to actually claim they’re just artists deserving of federal funds (see: Karen Finley and the NEA Four)
A quick search of Latinx PDF files (in order to discover whatever SJW-syllabi is currently in use at our nation’s Ivy-covered North Koreas) uncovered Dartmouth’s ‘Complexities of Latinx* Identity in the U.S.’ LOL, the ‘professor’ clarifies that ‘Latinx’ ‘moves beyond’ ‘Latin@’ in order to ‘incorporate the genderfluid and genderqueer’. And first book on the reading list is ‘Selling Crack
In El Barrio’. Jesus Christ, you might as well light hundreds of thousands of your tuition dollars on fire and then send your kid into the nearest locked mental ward…
It’s so comforting to know that the future Barry Soetoro Scholarship in Critical Race and Whiteness Studies (soon to emerge from the idyllic city of Chicago – all checks signed by ‘professor emeritus’ Bill Ayers) will continue to fuel non-American, anti-white, mestizo-supremacist scholarship WELL into the next millennium. Just don’t call us racist, and we’ll all sleep well at night
Mattress Girl’s parents, along with my own, are M.D. psychoanalysts, although hers are Jew/Asian and mine, uh, are not. I knew as soon as I found that out that something was and is extraordinarily wrong with her parents and whatever psychotherapy they claim to practice. Her crazy Tiger Mother actually encouraged her to publish an anal sex tape on the Internet and call it ‘performance art’.
Seriously, my parents always told me that psychoanalytic treatment or talk therapy can be extraordinarily dangerous when used intemperately/injudiciously (as it has been since the beginning, with Freud and his quasi-rabbinical circle of cokeheads and heretical Bolsheviks trying to capture orgasms in boxes) which is why, since her parents somehow managed to raise the craziest SJW since Trigglypuff, I knew they had to be a couple of the bad ones.
Some psychoanalysts are out of their mind SJWs who raise Mattress Girls, while others like my parents really do save lives (and they raised me, a faithful reader of the Internet’s best blog, iSteve at Unz.com)
Wasn’t Marc Rich’s Barbadian man-about-town (Eric ‘My People’ Holder) serving as the regime’s attorney general during that whole fiasco? It’s entirely possible Mr. Holder himself gave the poor, cucked Cambridge police dept an order to hang onto the sacred cuffs. After all, he’d do anything to for his fellow brother-in-melanin Skip.
Someday I’m going to paint an oil portrait of that hilarious moment when Skip, Barry and the white officer grimly clanked beer steins while undergoing mandatory diversity training
I have to post the most insane, SJW-in-academia explanation of the Latinx/Latin@ raging controversy:
“My use of “@” in Latin@ is an effort to be gender inclusive and to move away from the inherent sexism and assumptions of heterosexual normativity in the masculine term, “Latino.” In solidarity with Asencio & Acosta’s (2010) assessment concerning their use of the word, Latina/o, I use Latin@ to “acknowledge equally the experience of women and men in the construction of this diverse and heterogeneous community” (p. 4). Latin@ is also useful for disrupting binary notions of identity cultural production. Some scholars have used other terms to explore these issues. For instance, Rodríguez’s (2003) use of queer Latinidad also provides insight into “the process by which constructions of identity work to constitute one another, emphasizing ‘and’ over ‘is’ as a way to think about difference. So, latinidad is about the ‘dimensions’ or ‘the directions in motion’ of history and culture and geography and language and self-named identities” (p. 22). Similarly, Latin@ Critical Race theorists (Cantú & Fránquiz, 2010) use Latin@ over Latino to center the heterogeneity among those of Latin American heritage and to utilize gender inclusive language. I use Latin@ as an umbrella term which covers groups such as Mexican American/Chican@ males while still acknowledging the unique experiences of this group in comparison to other Latin@s.”
-The eminent scholar Juan F. Carrillo, writing in his essay ‘I Always Knew I Was Gifted: Latino Males and the Mestiz@ Theory of Intelligences’
Makes complete sense to me. Why allow any old white-privileged racist male (with his structurally racist thoughts and structurally racist mind) to sully the consciousness of those young geniuses comprising today’s affirmative-action mobs?
What would a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who discovered DNA’s double helix even bring to the discussion? Come on. It’s the Current Year!
James Watson should just quit the hard sciences (so racist!) and just voluntary submit himself now to be brainwashed with the august scholarship and anti-racist Marxism of Prof. Kimberlé Crenshaw, Critical Race Theory co-founder and promoter of ‘intersectionality’. It’s all he really needs to know, anyway
Re: Norwegians and others: I’ve been fascinated with the Nordic states and their pathologically altruistic inhabitants for awhile now. The Gates of Vienna blog has been particularly instructive and illuminating. If you’re interested too, you might enjoy this book. Their futures look grimmer by the day whild their invaded homelands may fall to Islam within my lifetime, but they probably just crave their own destruction as atonement for being white racists from birth. SJW control is absolutely frightening beyond measure over there.
Oh, and! The Swedish feminists have this insane political party (can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s worth looking up for laughs) that is such a nightmare. It’s full of women along the lines of Anders Behring Breivik’s mom.
Remember Brittney Griner? Some random SJW academic within the (new to me) field of ‘Leisure Studies’ published a true masterpiece of original scholarship regarding Brittney’s ‘intersectionally lesbian’ structural oppression…you know, as the well-paid WNBA’s half-black-bodied genderqueer giant. Can’t wait until a decade from now when Britt’s heroic genderfluidity will be memorialized in all K-12 textbooks and someone slaps her name on an inner-city charter school… enjoy, and may the SJW author enjoy a fast track to the land of tenure!
Neurosurgery? Sounds pretty racist! Juan’s kids (niños, please, it’s the current year) would rather
pursue their passion of narcocorrido ballads along the smuggler’s route.
According to Wikipedia, this verse of the song “El Cabron” (1998) by Los Capos is an example of typical narcocorrido subject matter.
Original Spanish verse:
Desde que yo era chiquillo tenia fintas de cabrón; ya le pegaba al perico, y a la mota con más razón
Es que en mi México lindo ahí cualquiera es cabrón
Exact English translation:
Ever since I was a lad [child] I had the fame of a badass, already hittin’ the parrot [cocaine] and blowing dope [cannabis] with more reason
It’s because in my beloved Mexico anyone there is a badass.
Haven Monahan's kids all grow up with a supply of roofies to use on those budding doctors at the local bar. It must be true, I saw it in the Rolling Stone, or was that the New York Times?Replies: @Marie
The rejoinder I get is that Juan the roofer’s kids will all grow up to be neurosurgeons and electrical engineers.
Marty Peretz’s protégé (Stephen Glass) wrote all about it during those heady TNR days, I recall
Immigration isn’t the only demographic problem we face. Feminism and the higher ed bubble, while not an immediate threat, are still existential threats to the demographic continuity of the traditional America and of Western civilization in general.
That is an internal problem that will take care of itself; google "feedback loops".

is important. Not as immediate policy suggestion, but to highlight what's going on. Call the progressives "diversity" bluff. They fundamentally aren't interesting in living in with diversity, in "open societies". If they were then separation and packing all us white "deplorables" off to our own country would be a-ok with them. It isn't, because their interest is not in living with diversity, but making sure that diversity is inflicted on straight white gentiles. Call out what they are doing. "Hey you want to kill yourselves with diversity ... fine! But you have no right to kill those of us who want to live."

If I’m remembering this correctly, the disgusting Mark Levin (who thinks a Convention of States is a great idea) made fun of the fantastic, inquisitive guy who runs that site because, gasp, he’s a grocery store manager
This is great and speaks for all of the Cass Sunsteins of the world who yearn for a weaponized SJW version of the First Amendment.
Brenda Walker has written extensively on the great Sierra Club Immigration Wars, wherein the fully-brainwashed Open Borders lefties on their board declared jihad upon the immigration-sane moderate lefties who tried to speak the truth. James Delingpole’s green-on-the-outside, red-on-the-inside watermelon/Commie analogy re: most environmentalists surely applies.
So angry at the evil left for making environmentalism synonymous with Judi Bari and Earth First
OT, but funny: what’s up with ‘erratic, reckless and paranoid’ Glenn Beck trying to be Mormon Walt Disney? And planning on building hospitals (lol)? Can’t stop laughing at him calling Richard Spencer the ‘Karl Marx of the alt right’

The fake journalists over at the NYT will be filing a variation of their standard Another-Black-Riot-But-We’ll-Gladly-Minimize-It-Because-Whitey-Must-Pay stock story:
“Tension Heightens In {Insert City} As Unrest Looms:
De’Quintarius Jackson, Pillar of Community, Shot By White Officer: Caught Between Duelling Narratives In Life and Death”
I.e., he was a good boy/dindu nothin’/aspiring rapper/future BLM Soros grantee/Obama’s other son, whose unfortunate predilection for gangbanging was entirely the fault of structural whiteness and its psyche-shredding racism. All of this racism and bigotry and oppression led to young De’Quintarius’s unwarranted death at the hands of Ofc. Brock Turner…and now, oops, all that racism caused {city name} to turn into Somalia, but it’s okay, because ‘faith leaders’ will march for peace and do a little cleaning up in the following days.
This will probably never end, and I’m thus resigned to our future American tradition of frequent race riot domestic terrorism
Followed by depressing paragraphs 15-18:
Vernita Walker calls her son, Keith Lamont Scott, a “mama’s boy” who called her every day.
Paras 19-20 bookend the article with an inspiring wrap-up.
A public records search shows that Scott was convicted in April 2004 of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in Mecklenburg County. Other charges stemming from that date were dismissed: felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and misdemeanor assault on a child under 12, assault on a female and communicating threats. [etc. etc. etc.]
My God, look at this one… where are they finding these people? Racist, sexist beaded jewelry? When will the madness cease?
“Joyce J. Scott is a jewelry maker and sculptor repositioning craft, and in particular beadwork, as a potent platform for commentary on social and political injustices. In handmade works ranging from elaborate, over-sized neckpieces, to two- and three-dimensional figurative sculptures, to installations, Scott upends conceptions of beadwork and jewelry as domestic or merely for adornment by creating exquisitely crafted objects that reveal, upon closer examination, stark representations of racism and sexism and the violence they engender.”
This is her ‘art’:

Ilana, this is OT but you may get a laugh out of it – seems that the moronic Meghan McCain and intellectual lightweight/dilettante SE Cupp are good friends (this is per McCain’s sophomoric Twitter feed, which looks to be run by a 13-year-old). I understand the familial nepotism regarding McCain’s media-pundit ascent, but why does SE Cupp even get paid for her opinions? She, the quintessential know-nothing narcissist, is actually on the payroll of Glamour mag (presumably to talk about something other than clothes and makeup? Libertarianism Lite, perhaps?
