    Back in 1960s, calypso singer Lord Melody released “Shame and Scandal”

    >> In the early 1960s, Trinidadian calypsonian Lord Melody composed a new version of the song. Melody’s composition, based on an old comic tale and the melody and chorus of Lancelot’s song, was initially called “Wau, Wau,” though it quickly became known as “Shame and Scandal.” In each of the first three verses, a young man asks his father for permission to marry a different woman. In each case, the father denies his son permission, stating that his prospective bride is his sister, “but your mamma don’t know.” The last verse of the song turns the tables. When the young man talks to his mother, she replies “your father ain’t your father, but your father don’t know.” <<

    Perhaps what causes shame and scandal in Trinidad doesn't in Africa, and that might be a problem.

And the record of Bronze Age settlement of Europe looks more like fecund settlers in a largely virgin land (Amish) than like Genghis Khan swiping all the neighbors' women.

    "Today I am pleased to sign the 'Immigration Act of 1990'—the most comprehensive reform of our immigration laws in 66 years."..... "I am also pleased to note that this Act facilitates immigration not just in numerical terms, but also in terms of basic entry rights of those beyond our borders." Bush was ahead of his time, finding foreigners have the right to immigrate into our nation.

    After it became law, the United States would admit 1.1 million legal immigrants per year over the next decade, up from 500,000 per year before the bill's passage. The new system continued to favor people with family members, but added 50,000 "diversity visas" for countries from which few were emigrating, as well as 40,000 permanent job-related workers and 65,000 temporary worker visas.

    It is notable that 41 of the 44 Republicans voted for this Law while 40 of the 55 Democrats voted for it. Both California Senators voted No - Republican Pete Wilson and Democrat Alan Cranston.
    17 of the 24 WWII vets in the Senate voted Yes. Albert Gore, one of 2 baby boomers, voted against this immigration bill as did Harry Reid.

    People do not "bring that up all the time."

    When the study on 1.3 million dead Muslims (who were killed during the "War on Terror") was published, it was covered mostly by fringe sites and far-left sites. No mainstream site even touched it. No broadcaster touched it in America. No politician mentioned it.

    Why is that? 1.3 million deaths not important enough?

    The fact is that if you mention this type of stuff, you get ruined in political and media circles. So 1.3 million dead Muslims get hushed up. Even in PC addled America, 1.3 million Muslim deaths isn't a tragedy - it's a statistic. A statistic that's best left uncovered.

    This is why the study got no mention from mainstream news and politicians, but got picked up a little bit by Al Jazeera and Democracy Now.

    Mentioning the 1.3 million Muslim deaths is about as beneficial to one's media/political career as being a Pat Buchanan supporter.

    ">Inbreeding has destroyed a lot of breeds. That’s what happened to German Shepherds after “Rin Tin Tin”"

    No, the problem is much worse than inbreeding. The sloping back in GSD's was actively bred in and is now the show-ring standard. The same goes for the Rhodesian Ridgeback's ridge (though at least that was accidental in origin), and the bulldog's/pug's/boxer's snout, and the Basset and bloodhounds excessive skin, and the Dalmatian's spots.

    All of these characteristics of the breed are associated with debilitating disorders (in the bulldog's case, they are the disorders). What's more, Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies without the ridge -- i.e. the "healthy ones" -- were frequently culled. And even "good" traits can be debilitating (e.g. the border collie's enhanced intelligence comes with an increased incidence of epilepsy).

    Bad breeding does aggravate some problems -- a large dog is going to be prone to hip dysplasia just by virtue of its size, but good breeding can at least reduce the incidence -- but many of the problems that have come along are there by design.

    The mean IQ scores, converted from GSS wordsum results, assuming a national average of 98 and a standard deviation of 15, of those who attended college for at least four years by the decade they graduated in* (n = 5,124):

    Graduated in IQ
    1960s 112.3
    1970s 109.1
    1980s 106.0
    1990s 103.9
    2000s 102.9
    2010s 100.0

    The change in the intelligence of the average college graduate over the last fifty years approaches the IQ gap separating whites and blacks.

    This is an inevitable consequence of increasing the share of the population that attends college. In the sixties, 10% of American adults had college degrees. Since then that figure has more than tripled, to 33% today.

    To say we're well into the territory of diminishing returns is to understate the problem--we're past the point of negative returns. Most Americans in college today are not benefiting from being there. They're foregoing work to accrue debt for degrees that, if they increase earning power at all, do so only marginally and they're picking up an unhelpful sense of entitlement in the process.

    CSU is not ending its practice of accepting students who aren’t capable of college work. CSU has ended its practice of remediating students who aren’t capable of college work. It makes such students feel “unwelcome.” Students who aren’t capable of doing college work are getting the impression that they don’t really belong at college.

    And so, CSU is going to give students who can’t do college work college credit for the classes they take trying to become ready for college.

    That would be racis'. Race is just a social construct like gender and has nothing to do with genetics. It's all about how you identify. What are you, a Nazi?

    Except if you are 100% white like Rachel Dolezal then it's not. You've got to have at least a little taste of non-white blood to make it plausible but apparently very little. Having too little for it to actually show in your appearance is not a problem.

    Therefore, old one drop rule still applies. But "one drop" may put you past the threshold of genetic testing. I was speaking to a friend of mine who did one of these 23 and me type things and it came back as 98% Ashkenazi Jewish and 2% Polynesian. My friend is pretty sure there were zero Polynesians in his family tree (not too many Polynesians in Lithuania) so 2% must be error - maybe contamination from the tech who handled the sample or something like that.

  • Steve,

    I have a few questions.

    There are three mono-racial husband-wife couples. All six people have an IQ of 125. Each couple has a child. Without testing each child, or meeting the children and/or their parents, your estimate of each child’s IQ would be the same: a score somewhat less than 125. Now suppose that one couple was black, one white, one East Asian. Would that change your estimate of each child’s IQ? If so, by a little or a lot? If the grandparents of the children all had IQs of 130, would that change your estimate and/or your view about what mean each child’s IQ should be expected to regress toward?

    Thanks.

    Jasper Selwyn, a careers adviser at Kate’s former school, Marlborough College, and Joan Gall her house tutor, confirmed to Ms Nichol that her first choice of university had been Edinburgh.

    I thought literary theorists were the only ones stupid enough to think that the intentional "fallacy" is an actual fallacy. Apparently classicists are on board, too. Makes putting words in the mouths of Ancient Dead White Males easier. They're only tactically stupid.

    Of course, inserting an author's supposed intention somewhere it doesn't belong can be fallacious. But out of that you cannot a Fallacy build. Because how can you know for sure when you're wrong? You can't take the author's word for it, because that would be merely pushing the intention question back a step. There are instances when objective evidence can be adduced, I guess. For instance, authors who lived before the invention of technology X couldn't have intended a passage to be interpreted as involving technology X. Unless they were like da Vinci and dreamed it up themselves.

    Really, then, the fallacy consists of "you cannot assume authorial intent when something was not intended by the author." Which is tautological. Or "authors don't intend everything," which is obvious. Or "it's not possible to know an author intended any particular reading of his work," which is trivial.

    The upshot is usually something like "the benefit of the doubt goes to unintendedness,"which is convenient for literary professors and critics. Because it gives you license to make crap up.
