For the first time, at least in Gallup's history, most Americans are no longer members of a church.

This is interesting. Liberals usually criticize Reagan for ballooning the deficit with tax cuts, but the debt is mainly due to a large increase in spending during the ‘80s. Also note the increase in spending under Biden. Fiscally irresponsible

“Do you have any empirical evidence suggesting that gender is just some arbitrary social construct?”

In Charles Murray’s book Human Diversity he looked at the syllabi of required courses to get a gender studies BA at top 10 colleges and not one required a biology course. Anyone who’s taken college biology knows that we became stratified based on gender roles because of biological reasons (e.g. sexual competition, hunting and gathering, etc)

What a feminine sounding guy lmao

The irony surrounding the school reopening debate is that 6 years ago when affirmative action lawsuits were relevant, liberals warned everyone that not having racial diversity in colleges would have harmful consequences and lower everyone’s grades. Now it’s no big deal if schools are closed for 2 years

Although community colleges have been viewed as a viable pathway to a four year bachelors degree, Long and Kurlaender (2008) find that community college graduates are much less likely to finish a bachelors degree and have worse life outcomes than students going from HS to college. This is true even after controlling for HS GPA

Evil is extremely agitated today as millions of Christians gather together to celebrate Christ’s Resurrection.

There’s certainly something special about this year’s Easter Season in America. We will never forget how Christ came into this dark world and bore every curse to conquer death and give us a chance at eternal life.

When Christ died on that cross, he was thinking about YOU!

A VERY Happy Easter to our Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant Christian followers.

He is Risen Indeed!

Failing your exam because you can’t understand your Chinese professor is okay because it embodies multiculturalism and multiculturalism is always good!

Short list of studies I compiled on immigration and wages. There’s probably more I haven’t thought of but this is a good starter

A lot of the health-related ones should be abolished. Telehealth restrictions for seniors, interstate physician licensing, caps on the number of hospital beds, etc.

Data Dump

Spearman's Hypothesis - Black-White differences on IQ tests positively correlate with the tests' g-loading.

Evidence:


Blacks and Whites

"The analysis of all 15 data points yields a mean vector correlation of 0.57. Spearman’s hypothesis is confirmed comparing Black and White adults."

https://www.mdpi.com/2079-3200/4/2/6

Amerindians, Canadians and Americans

"We carried out a meta-analysis based on 25 data points and a total N = 2706 Amerindians. Spearman's hypothesis was strongly confirmed with a mean r with a value of .62."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289615000367

Latin Americans

"Spearman’s hypothesis was strongly supported with a mean r of 0.63. After correction for various statistical artifacts this value became rho = 0.91. Therefore, we conclude that Spearman’s hypothesis also holds true for White/Latin-American Hispanic differences"

https://www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/1/1/8

Jews

Spearman's hypothesis is tested comparing European Jews and Oriental Jews in Israel.

Two meta-analyses strongly confirm Spearman's hypothesis.

"In both meta-analyses Spearman's hypothesis was strongly confirmed with mean rs with values of, respectively, .80 and .87."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289614000130

Koreans

"Spearman's hypothesis was strongly confirmed with a sample-size-weighted r with a value of 0.63."

The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a standardized exam undergraduate students take in hopes of getting into a medical school. Davis et al. (2013) find that although ethnic groups differ significantly in their mean MCAT scores, there is no evidence that the test itself is racially biased after analyzing its validity.

Wait until passengers see the score distributions for the pilot aptitude exam.

Women with septum piercings are disgusting

Some “expert” writing for Vox is gaslighting people to believe that George Floyd was “emotionally appropriate and behaving rationally.” You don’t need some stupid fuck in a lab coat to tell you that Derek Chauvin’s knee wasn’t on the neck the whole time, and that Floyd was having trouble breathing before he was on the ground.

And the media is going to further the narrative by making it seem like the defense is making really dumb arguments (not true) using headlines like this and when Chauvin gets acquitted of murder 2 and 3 the reason is racism in the criminal justice system. Messed up world!

The man just never learns. He might as well endorse John Kasich for Ohio senator

Engzell et al. (2021) examine the effects of school closures using data from the Netherlands. They find either a significant negative learning loss, a moderate negative learning loss, or no learning gain from online learning. This is true across all income levels. The negative learning losses are most pronounced among students of low SES.
