Taleb’s comments and ideas on IQ make more sense when you realize he is a “Mediterranean Supremacist.” It’s why he’s so fond of Brooklyn Italians like Fat Tony. They remind him of the Lebanese big men he grew up around.

Also, it is why he claims that Greek/Roman civilization isn’t “white.” They are Mediterranean, not Germanic according to him.

I assume some postmodern professor of race taught the author of this article this nonsense. When an idiot tells you white racism isn’t racism, ask them where they learnt that idea. Then, tell that person their teacher was an idiot, and there is no basis to the idea that racism is based upon power.

The Augustinian priests who taught me at Villanova would be rolling in their graves. Only the Elite 8 win makes them brush off this insult.

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is a historian and philosopher of science only because she says she is. Her CV has no reference to any historical or philosophical graduate research, not that it is the only way to learn these fields.

Steve has much more qualification to be a historian and philosopher of science.

Are we not men…? DEVO had this covered a few decades ago:

What everyone is forgetting is four things:

1. Sandusky was investigated in 1998 for bad behavior in the shower by PA State authorities and was found by them innocent.

2. McQuery never told Coach Paterno he witnessed a rape.

3. McQuery during the Sandusky trial eventually broke down and changed his account of what he saw. Because the defense showed McQuery never witnessed an abuse/rape, Sandusky was never convicted of what the public thought was the worse crime. THERE WAS NO ABUSE IN THE SHOWER ACCORDING TO THE SANDUSKY TRIAL!

4. Paterno was the only man who suggested that Sandusky should be kept away from the PSU gym for liability reasons after the 1998 investigation. This is in a footnote in the Freeh investigation:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/396512-report-final-071212.html

All this occurred because the state authorities found no problems with Sandusky “horsing around with boys” in the shower at PSU. If they did, there would be no second guessing as to the witnessing of the 2001 or 2002 (the exact times isn’t even known by McQuery) act.

Paterno, the AD, the head of Public Saftey Assistant Dean (PSU cops), and the President all assumed that McQuery saw the same “horse play” that was reported early and found to be innocent. He could never admit to them or on the stand that he witnessed actual abuse or rape, regardless what he told the Grand Jury.

BTW, I do believe Sandusky did abuse those boys. But since the initial state investigation found no evidence of wrong doing in the showers, that led to the behavior of the officials which in hindsight looks so awful.

All of this and more is to be found on the Framing Paterno website:

Norm’s podcast is always hilarious; he truly is a comic genius.

Is it wrong for me to laugh whenever he calls out his co-host as a holocaust denier?

“Obama would much rather munch ice cream on Martha’s Vineyard…”

Please refrain from the tasteless gay ex-president jokes.

The Black Body Monologues. There has never been a bigger fraud in the literary world than Mr. Coates.

No Lovecraft?

They take Boxing Day literally.

Now the fun begins. Glenn Beck has discovered Steve Sailer.

I think the dogs were put on a leash. No one in the Dem Party wanted a replay of the ’68 convention that won Nixon the WH.

But…but…think of all the black bodies!

I think the obvious answer to this chaos is to make our newly arrived Syrian refugees the new policemen of the inner city.

My Dad always said football was ruined when they got rid of the “60 Minute Men.” I wonder if football would be more diverse if all starters had to play offense, defense, and special teams.

Hollywood SHOULD be afraid of those ghosts:
