Two Lawsuits That Could Kill Yale

“A 2013 study at Harvard found that, without affirmative action, Harvard would be 43 percent Asian, 38 percent white, and 0.7 percent black.”

We all need to be paying close attention to the whole situation in Bend Oregon and giving our support to Ian Cranston: the white man that clearly defended himself and his girlfriend against a black thug (Barry Washington Jr) that assaulted them after his sexual advances toward Ian’s girlfriend were rejected. Ian has already been charged (not convicted) of murder and manslaughter for killing Barry in self-defense — Ian’s basically had the book thrown at him by the leftist district attorney John Hummel and a likely shitlib jury, because of potential “racism” — now can you understand why the word/concept “racism” is ultimately a huge problem? The legal outcome for Ian could have huge, decisive legal and cultural ramifications that will effect all of us and change the way we live. Across the country, the left has this organized collective leverage to publicly smear and officially prosecute their political enemies (white people that defend themselves against blacks/antifa). As we saw with Kyle Rittenhouse, whose trial is ongoing, Ian Cranston’s legal battles will likely be long and arduous despite video evidence showing that he defended himself.

Are the effects of intelligence on student achievement and well-being largely functions of family income and social class? Evidence from a longitudinal study of Irish adolescents

This study finds that cognitive ability at age 13 had "substantially more explanatory power" than socioeconomic status measures (e.g., class, parental income and education) with regard to academic and other life outcomes.

Intellectual Precocity: What Have
We Learned Since Terman?

Is there an IQ threshold (like 120), beyond which more IQ doesn’t matter?
Nope. Higher IQ gives hugely increasing benefits, all the way up the scale.

Article from 2015

U.S. Support of Gay Rights in Africa May Have Done More Harm Than Good

"Since 2012, United States officials said, the American government has spent more than $41 million specifically to promote gay rights globally, along with a portion of $700 million earmarked for marginalized groups to support gay communities and causes. More than half of the $700 million, and $6.6 million of the $41 million, was spent on sub-Saharan Africa — just one indication of the continent’s importance to the new policy."

Once nearly eliminated in the U.S., syphilis is increasing, especially among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM).

Between 2018 and 2019, the number of reported primary and secondary (P&S) cases in the United States increased by 11%, and there were 38,992 P&S syphilis cases reported in 2019. Most (47%) of these cases were among MSM only and men who have sex with both men and women.
