Some biologists pretend sex isn't binary for personal gains with the woke. This weakens science and brings distrust. It is very sad to see. Here an Emexample from the Evolution society president.

@davidwengrow @karlfrankjr Aren't all languages hybrids? And are they not hybrids with other geographically near languages? Why are the Indo-Europeans the only group without a claim to a home land?

Funny thread, but just because Dems had crazy people, that doesn't mean the trend of craziness should continue....

@cmonjussthetip @primalpoly But truly concerning when it morphs into this - making it feels like there is actually substance in "indigenous" approaches (because it is published in Nature):
The journal Nature touts "two-eyed seeing" (combining modern science with indigenous knowledge) as a way to improve neuroscience. The big problem is that they give no credible examples of how this has happened. ..

@cmonjussthetip @primalpoly Sad that broader impacts started just with the intention of helping the public - I had proposed making museum exhibits, doing guided field trips to the public etc. But over time it became contaminated with DEI and program directors came to expect it.

Why does directional selection for an extreme trait increases the standard deviation? I know there is a ton of data supporting it, and I can see it is a result of sexual selection since it seems to affect males of male species. But this is not something that comes intuitively for me.

@arctotherium42 Controlling actions will be associated with IQ. But low morality can probably exist independent of IQ. So violent behavior or impulsivity will be more common in lower IQ?

@DianneCallaha16 @tedcruz The help certainly was not to Hamas. It was humanitarian aid to Gaza which was inevitably stolen by Hamas. This is the problem with aid to corrupt places - most of it do not end where you want it to. This was very true in the 3rd world country where I came from.
