Where are you getting this from?
Galton was a eugenicist who thought intelligence was baked into one’s bloodline, Spearman’s entire career was that the g-factor was a relatively immutable cross-domain constant, Binet was measuring skulls phrenology style, etc.

Y’all sleeping on black soldier flies.
They’re copycats that look like mud daubbers, but have no ability to sting or bite. They don’t readily transmit human diseases, and they compete with noxious species like house flies and roaches. Present in most places across the globe.
Their larvae are the most-efficient known converts of input biomass to output protein, they can compost most household foods quite easily, and they’re an excellent animal feed.

Just adding my two cents as a happy user of several years: I vastly prefer its results to ddg/google, I kinda forgot the AI stuff existed since I turned it off and it’s stayed off, and I never hit the quota when I was on the limited plan.
The real killer feature is the ability to downrank spammy sites IME (pinterest, fandom, etc.).

Just gonna rip from Wikipedia
With its initial publication in 1995, the manifesto was received as intellectually deep and sane. Writers described the manifesto’s sentiment as familiar. To Kirkpatrick Sale, the Unabomber was “a rational man” with reasonable beliefs about technology. He recommended the manifesto’s opening sentence for the forefront of American politics. Cynthia Ozick likened the work to an American Raskolnikov (of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment), as a “philosophical criminal of exceptional intelligence and humanitarian purpose … driven to commit murder out of an uncompromising idealism”.

Might be a matter of taste, but ISAIF is worth a read on the basis of its wild mix of sociological brilliance and unhingedness IMO. That’s not to say I endorse blowing people up in the slightest, but the work stands taller than the sum of its influences.
E.g. I think he synthesized and added to quite a few different authors in presenting his concept of oversocialization. (Please do correct me if I’m off-base — I love philosophy but it’s not my main wheelhouse).

Nah, you’re likely thinking of McVeigh, who cited The Turner Diaries.

I’m totally on board with the idea that for academic anthropology, self-identity should be treated as the core determinant of cultural grouping: i.e., people are who they say they are.
But IMO, to take that academic lens outside a scholarly context and browbeat that there’s no point having a commonplace semiotic label for “common behavioral and stylistic trends of white, working-class British youth from the 90s and aughts” is a weird leap that misunderstands practical semantics.

You’re quoting the political opinion piece of one lone sociologist, though. It’s objectively a hot take that the majority of the field would not agree with.
You can find plenty of physicists who will tell you aliens, bigfoot or alternative dimensions are real. The validity of that statement does not make aliens, bigfoot, or multiverses a physical reality.

What makes this a recurring fixation for you, OP? Didn’t you post a bunch of old threads arguing that chav is a slur?
Just a weird hill, mate.

- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
Eating an avocado straight-up like you would other fruits will generally be unpleasant. It needs other food to balance it.
Cut the fruit in half the long way, core it, slice thinly, and serve on top of anything salty, savory or crunchy. Tortilla chips, fried eggs, bacon, mushrooms, ground beef, etc. You’ll have a very different experience :).

I’m repeating from last time this was posted, but Time Team is massively underrated. All their new episodes are posted free on Youtube, as well as the vast majority of their back catalog of 20 seasons:

Check it out & support the cause if you’re able!

Lmfao, that second link sent me.
Yeah, Tony’s schtick is definitely grating at times, and I think the new hosts are doing a better job now that they’ve hit their stride.
In that same vein, it’s fascinating to watch how the levels of sexism among the cast change from the early seasons to now. Carenza and Helen took some real shit in their day…

Time Team is literally the best television show ever invented.
It’s an archaeology TV show with a reality-TV twist included: Send a team of professional archaeologists, geophysicists, historians, etc. to research a site of interest… in the span of just three days.
The show ran for 20 seasons on TV, and is still running today, rebooted as a Patreon-supported Youtube series. Watch it.
