The difference between Rodger, who killed. and the "everyday sexist" who slaps, grabs, and berates is a difference of degree, not of kind.Finally, do not "other" Rodger by saying he murdered people because he was mentally ill.

Not with that kind of attitude.

I thought the trick to losing belly fat was to read a bunch of HamNo fitness posts about how I'm doing everything wrong and instead focus on forearms.

'I would rather talk to an ethicist than a philosopher any day of the week, because an ethicist is at least attacking a problem of practical import.'

I was going to name my dog Ruggles (Pynchon's middle name), but then I realized that I would probably not really like him at first, then be super into him to an unhealthy level for a while, but after too much exposure realize that maybe I don't even actually like him as much as I thought I did and I'm just tolerating…

Me too! The stench of the commoners make me sick! We let those peasants out of the fields and now they want to fly. Eff them !

The sample size problem, though, is badly misunderstood by a lot of people. I can't tell you how often I've read people declaring a study with a sample size of 100 "small." 100 is, if a true random sample that's been carefully selected, a very large sample size.

Keep talking out of your ass using the word "quantum" and you too may become as wealthy as Deepak Chopra.

I believe the drug buy thing is an urban legend.

No. Just flat out no. Plows are not always out before the snow. Salt either comes too late, or can be washed away by rain that falls ahead of the snow. This makes for longer and more dangerous commutes. There will be deaths, easily topping the 5 in Alabama in larger cities. Yet life doesn't stop for those still alive.…

Statistically speaking, we should probably be more worried about the damage done to our kids by teaching them to worry about bad people on the internet than we should be about the actual bad people...

I think this just illustrates the extent to which this story is hyperbolic, and attempting to drive traffic, rather than offering any sort of new, substantive critique of evolutionary biology.

Having read The Selfish Gene (and basically everything Dawkins wrote, he doesn't write that fast), the article, the essay, and all of the links (gotcha covered, bosslady!), all I have to say is. .

Actually the final chapter of the Selfish Gene deals with this issue. Of course at that time–30 years ago–nobody knew about methylation and epigenetic phenomena but the quote from Dobbs is not dealing with that. Maybe really reading the book rigorously is a good idea before drawing such sensationalist conclusion...…

Thank you for arguing semantics and trying to discuss the technical legitimacy of an oft-used and well understood term with generally agreed upon and concise connotations. Your attempt to confuse the issues of both language, and racial politics, will surely bring much both to this article, and American society as a…

I have found that about the easiest way to piss off my wife is to engage in the Socratic method when I'm talking to her.
