‘Science 2.0’ weighs in — Alessandro Strumia’s reputation

Posted on October 5, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Last updated 2018 10 11 ‘Science 2.0’ weighs in on the destruction of Alessandro Strumia’s character, motivations, reputation and career prospects. »Strumia’s slides contain a collection of half-baked claims, coming from his analysis of InSpire data from citations and authorship of articles in theoretical physics. I consider his talk offensive on many levels. It starts by casting the woman discrimination issue in scientific academia as a test of hypothesis of whether the “man-woman” symmetry is explicitly broken (i.e. there is no symmetry) or spontaneously broken (by a difference of treatment) – something that could even raise a smile in a geeky physicist; but the fun ends there. He uses all … Continue reading →

Equality of Outcomes destroys Freedom

Posted on September 3, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Update 2018 09 20 Efforts to bring about equality of outcomes destroy freedom, as explained in this: “A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.” —Milton and Rose Friedman, in Free to Choose: A Personal Statement Take the example of article 15 of The Constitution of India.  It addresses the “Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.”  Article … Continue reading →

Family courts solve divorce applications backlog

Posted on June 12, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Family Courts (they essentially give marching orders to Child Protective Services) – put in place to solve a growing divorce applications backlog – target men.  They also seriously hurt children. Family courts were to mitigate the divorce applications backlog in the regular court system (in the early 1960s, waiting periods for court hearings after divorce applications were three and more years – and rapidly growing longer). The growing divorce applications backlog was a consequence of the legalization of ‘no-fault’ divorce. In ‘no-fault’ divorce, the default position is nevertheless that the fault is placed on the shoulders of the men. All of that works exceedingly well, so that, if they cannot … Continue reading →

Seven Genders – Why not more?

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index and preamble for series Seven genders – why stop there? There were of course people, well-endowed with common sense, who argued against letting anyone get a foot into the door of the time-honoured discussion of Nature vs. Nurture and pointed out that, if Nature no longer matters; Gender is a very flexible thing, “a construct”; The number of sexual orientations need not be limited by choice as much as by human imagination (and who knows where the limits of that may be); Gender need not to be cast in stone, and the ever-changing vagaries of human desires – if … Continue reading →

Gender Under Re-Construction – Social Justice Warriors at Work

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index and preamble for series Gender under re-construction: Social justice warriors (SJWs) had been fighting for a long time to have co-ed classes for both sexes, but, once they had achieved to make them a reality, that was just a first step.  They also demanded that the term sex, to identify biological differences between males and females of the human species, was not longer desired.  They deemed that term to be sexist, discriminatory to the minuscule minorities of what not very long ago were five different genders (apparently to teach those a lesson who thought that there are only two sexes). … Continue reading →

Single-gender classes

Posted on March 7, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

1st part of the multi-part series: ‘Single-Gender Classes’ Index Introduction Gender Under Re-Construction – Social Justice Warriors at Work Seven genders – Why not more? Gender Re-education creates fluency in Gender-Newspeak Next to come: The unacceptable solution – Return to simplicity and Single-sex Classes for Two Sexes Once upon a time, single-gender classes were thought to be important.  Once-upon a time they were the rule, when they were called boys-classes or -schools, and girls-classes or -schools, when things were still simple and there were thought (or claimed) to be only two sexes, but that changed. Single-sex classes (as they were at times called) were out, and co-ed classes were in.  Today, the … Continue reading →

Second-wave Feminism — Ideological Foundation

Posted on February 26, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

…. previous page Part of the series ‘Communism → second-wave feminism → social re-engineering’ Index and preamble for series The ideological foundation of Second-wave Feminism Second-wave Feminism  is (as are most other forms of feminism) firmly rooted in communism and in the prevalence throughout history of socialism and its never-changing goal, Utopia, Paradise on Earth. Communism can be made impervious to all criticism, by giving it a name that makes it untouchable, say, Feminism.  Communism and any other ideology become intrepid, as soon as they assume the label or even only the appearance of being an aspect of feminism. “Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist … Continue reading →

Divorce hurts Children, a million more in the U.S. a year

Posted on February 14, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

Divorce hurts children: “Each year, over a million American children suffer the divorce of their parents. Divorce causes irreparable harm to all involved, but most especially to the children. Though it might be shown to benefit some individuals in some individual cases, over all it causes a temporary decrease in an individual’s quality of life and puts some “on a downward trajectory from which they might never fully recover.”1 Divorce damages society. It consumes social and human capital. It substantially increases cost to the taxpayer, while diminishing the taxpaying portion of society. It diminishes children’s future competence in all five of society’s major tasks or institutions: family, school, religion, marketplace and government. The reversal of the cultural and social … Continue reading →

The wall at the border, down Mexico way

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

The “wall” at the U.S.-Mexico border Originally posted on FB, January, 28, 2017 Why is the liberal media obsessing about that wall? How is it any different from the walls around one’s home? Walls keep us safe, but they cost money. “President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has signaled to congressional Republican leaders that his preference is to fund the border wall….” Source CNN So far, we still have the right to build, sell, rent and purchase homes that have walls, walls with doors and windows in them. We still have that right and are well advised to secure the windows and to keep the doors locked, basically all day, but especially … Continue reading →
