Today’s linkage is all video links.  I discovered Dave Cullen’s YouTube channel about 6 to 12 months ago.  I already knew SJWs were terrible people but Dave really drives the point home. Dave is the source for many things I talk about on Stating The Obvious.  Including the “Black Free State Project” I mentioned a few episodes back – but couldn’t find where I first heard about it.  Turns out it was in one of Dave’s videos.  I found the link and will talk about that in the future on STO. Until then enjoy today’s video linkage and go subscribe … Continue reading →

Here’s the thing gents—the sexual market place is a cold, wild, barren and unfriendly place. When you interact with strangers (as the girls that you meet through pick-up inevitably are) then you run the risk of playing with emotional fire. Remember, everyone is out for what they can get, you included. You want to meet and sleep with the hottest girl that your SMV will afford. But girls have an agenda too. They also want to meet the ‘hottest’ guy that they can get—it’s just in their case the definition of ‘hot’ might expand to encompass things like status, influence, … Continue reading →

Retraction Watch readers may recall that in 2014, publisher Springer and IEEE were forced to retract more than 120 conference proceedings because the papers were all fakes, written by the devilishly clever SCIgen program and somehow published after peer review. So perhaps it was inevitable that fake computer-generated peer reviews were next. In a chapter called “Your Paper has been Accepted, Rejected, or Whatever: Automatic Generation of Scientific Paper Reviews,” a group of researchers at the University of Trieste “investigate the feasibility of a tool capable of generating fake reviews for a given scientific paper automatically.” And 30% of the … Continue reading →

Why do these reckless claims have so much appeal and staying power? For one thing, there is a lot of statistical illiteracy among journalists, feminist academics and political leaders. There is also an admirable human tendency to be protective of women—stories of female exploitation are readily believed, and vocal skeptics risk appearing indifferent to women’s suffering. Finally, armies of advocates depend on “killer stats” to galvanize their cause. But killer stats obliterate distinctions between more and less serious problems and send scarce resources in the wrong directions. They also promote bigotry. The idea that American men are annually enslaving more … Continue reading →

Some more reasons women shouldn’t vote. Including “Women are not evolved to vote rationally.” Sounds exactly like what I’ve been saying. Evolutionary psychologists have a slightly different explanation: women are engaged in sexual competition to secure the best possible mates, and they have two main strategies for achieving their goals: self-promotion and competitor derogation. A woman can draw specific attention to her femininity and promote her desirability as a partner, or she can rip apart the women around her. Mathers is clearly a fan of doing both. The best way to attack other women is to focus on their appearance, … Continue reading →
