Lanz | 2 years ago | on: An invitation to a secret society
This is an incredibly important idea. The scientific process has been corrupted by far too much pseudoscience and not near enough actual science. If the data say you are wrong, you are wrong. That doesn't mean finagle the data until you get the result you want, perform endless subgroup analyses, etc. If a theory is wrong, throw it out and start again. Quit salvaging the corpse of broken theory.

I love how everything has to be spun into something about race by the left. You win today's award for the Wokest Bloke.

Windows 11's UI is trash, no question. However, it can be easily fixed with ExplorerPatcher. https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

In what world is ChatGPT's woke filter liberal centrist? Has the centre shifted to the left pole?
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: Young adults and mental health: Is more childhood independence the answer?
The infantilization of an entire generation and the extension of adolescence into the 20s is a disaster for mental health. It's hard to find meaning if you remain immature. Without meaning, what's the point in living?

If you want to see the economy contract and output plummet, play more redistribution games.
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: BundesMessenger, a secure messenger for Germany’s public administration
It's almost as if the spirit of the people was broken as Germany drifted more and more leftward.
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: Musk plans to eliminate half of Twitter jobs to cut costs
It still shocks me that Twitter has more than 3 employees. It's not exactly complicated software.
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: Lula defeats Bolsonaro to again become Brazil’s president
At least he cares about preserving the national identity and puts domestic issues first.

The Left recognizes the importance of education in forming Americans’ ideology. The Left takes a long-term view. The Left accepts partial victories.
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: Patreon Lays off 17% of Staff
It'd be good to see Patreon face some more serious competition. They are by far the dominant force in their segment.
Lanz | 3 years ago | on: People from elite backgrounds increasingly dominate academia, data shows
It's almost as if the move away from merit-based acceptance (purely driven by test scores) in the name of equity has led to increased nepotism. Who could have saw that coming?

Lanz | 6 years ago | on: IQ rates are dropping in many developed countries
IQ is known to be genetic. Natural selection has been interfered with by universal healthcare and social programs in many countries, where intelligence and educational attainment have become negative predictors of reproductive success, especially for women. The findings of this study should not be unexpected.

I see complaining about GTK on your first link - have you heard of Qt?
Lanz | 7 years ago | on: The Death of Postmodernism and Beyond (2006)
Postmodernism has run its course. It's become clear that while it provides a deconstructive lens for academics, it provides a destructive one to society.

Government workers working hard?! Must be a nice problem to have.
Lanz | 12 years ago | on: Scientists Make First Embryo Clones From Adults
This is wonderful news for the many women who are currently forced to carry someone else's child via in-vitro fertilization if they want a child. Hopefully they'll be able to have a child that is biologically theirs in a reasonable timeframe as further developments occur.
