From iSteve commenter Harry Baldwin: For blacks, there are three ways to keep it real: Angry, Violent, and Victim. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a useful approach to changing one’s way of dealing with the world. Wikipedia describes it: “CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the...

House Niggers Mutiny

Slavery had some good aspects for those chaps who had it rather good. A colonial setup is the next best thing to slavery, and it also holds its attraction for people who knew how to place themselves just below the sahibs and above the run-of-the-mill natives. The Hong Kong revolt is the mutiny of wannabe...

Hong Kong is a pirate state where criminals hide their ill-gotten loot. China should bring them to heel and confiscate this Hong Kong wealth.

Yes, but they should then set up affordable housing projects for the 100 surnames in Hong Kong with that wealth. They need a Robin Hood approach to the situation, taking into account the fact that the main issues for the young protesters are economic issues: the prospect of declining economic prosperity and no chance to ever own a house. Li Kai Shin, the oligarch multi-billionaire who took out ads in the Hong Kong papers last week pleading for no violence, can see the writing on the wall. China should strip him and his fellow oligarchs, all of whom made their money with regulated industries set up by the British, of their ill-gotten wealth and share it with the marginalized. Win hearts and minds.

10,000 Years Ago There Were No "Southeast Asians"

Mexico: Ancient woman suggests diverse migration: I think this gets at the fallacy: But Gillespie cautioned against comparing a reconstructed face from 10,000 years ago to modern populations in places like Indonesia, which have also probably changed over 10 millennia. "You have to find skeletons of the same time period in Asia, or use genetic...

The realities of ancient human populations was driven by motivations quite recognizable to people today.

Liberal Creationists Are Not Very Intelligent

Razib Khan • July 7, 2010 • 24 Comments

A comment below about intelligent people who believe in dumb ideas made me want to revisit the Creationism demographics in the GSS. More on point I wanted to look at the relationship between IQ and Creationism crossed with demographic variables. I used the WORDSUM variable as a proxy for IQ (the correlation is ~0.70). WORDSUM...

How Lost Should Have Ended

Razib Khan • July 6, 2010 • 11 Comments

So I've never watched an episode of Lost. And I probably never will as people keep saying that the finale made following all those seasons kind of pointless. But could someone interpret the following video? I don't get what's so amusing about it...because I haven't watched the primary material, which is obviously pretty complex.

Thanks. I haven’t watched the link yet, I have to steel myself to it. I DID watch a handful of episodes and concluded it was ridiculous and no self-consistent resolution was possible without resorting to “it was a dream!” Sound like that’s perhaps along the lines of what happened. We’ll see.

Sometimes It Just Tastes Good Felix

Razib Khan • July 6, 2010 • 7 Comments

The more you know, the better it tastes: I agree that the "story" or our understanding of something (e.g., whether it's $100 or $10) can affect our perception of the hedonic experience. But sometimes coffee just tastes better. So the first time I had a Stumptown roast I was blown away, without knowing anything of...

Ah, taste. It’s all up to those specialized receptors. Do the origins of the taste molecules make a difference? Not to some people …
