  1. He is not disgusted at them at all, he disagrees with certain agendas of the trans rights lobby, and accepts biological sex has massive consequences, so should affect laws and safeguarding rules to protect and defend womens rights and safeguarding, but he has compassion and understanding for them. .i would say his view is the moderate centrist sensible position, opposed to hatred and bullying and bigotry v trans people, supportive of gay rights, but also equally opposed to the fanatics who believe biological sex should not be classed as far more important than gender idealogy, and opposing the fantasies who deny the obvious glaring existence of recognition that biological women exist, as biological women rights matter. As does recognizing biological women exist, and this has consequences on safety and all that.

  2. But surely it is better to believe rational true reasons for evil things occurring, then you can more easily defeat them. Like knowing witches don't exist, the cows died of a disease, so you defeat the disease, not allegations against alleged witches.

  3. He does not give a F, about offending people's sacred cows, he says it like it is, like a tasty pear cider, that's he rolls,if you don't like that, well that's life.

  20. Who cares, why should a intellectual be bothered about anything other than intellectual pressures. Lots of working class people agree with him, it does not matter if some dont, as facts matter, not class, race or politics. Evolutionry biology is nothing to do with class, he should focus on the beautiful facts he knows, like on gender, and let clever working class people listen, the gin Alley dunces lot can keep with their gin and fighting. Ps loads of working class people agree with him, yes some don't, but those people dont matter more.

  40. ​​​​​​​​ @markpong5435 but surely it's as there top universities in places. I mean when Germany had the top universities it won that, but as of the war that stopped. I am sure in the medieval and roman era, Italians would have won every novel prize, in the dark ages, the Chinese, in the neolithic, a bunch of Egyptians and iraqis. In the 18th century, Scotland would have won every novel prize there was. Scotland made most of the greatest inventions in history, which would have annoyed a certain nationality to the south, as it was part of the richest empire, booming. And had the best education system there. Ps my Korean car is pretty good. And well done the Basques as well in circumnavigators. Dont let anybody slag off the Basques.

  53. Putin invaded Ukraine, and you can't blame them for the Israeli Palestine war, what do you think they should have done, just surrender to Russia and Iran. I mean you can believe that if you wish, but surely they are just following post war policy on Ukraine, and us policy on Israel, it's not their fault Hamas did October the 7th, or that Israel was recognized by the USA decades ago. I mean they are not war mongers, they never invaded anywhere, and looks like Iran and the Palestinians fear trump more which is why they gave up the hostages just before he arrived, before he gave Israel even bigger weapons and the green light to be even tougher. I mean Biden has almost let the taleban and Yemen do what they like, gnd has not been invading them either. I think the only place you have a argument is Israel , but even there if USA did not give Israel weapons, it would probably see some mass invasion the other way around, and horrific expulsions , so it's difficult to say what to do there. The thing I find annoying is Iran and Russia supposedly launched their attacks as they thought Biden is a weakling, when he showed that he was not prepared to just let allies be walked all over. Then when Trump comes to power, threatening a madman tactic, all these horrible dictators say, ok boss, we will free the hostages, and give you what you like sir. Even Yemen, they never attacked Israel, Biden makes the Saudis stop attacking it, and lifts sanctions on Iran, so Iran and Israel decides well that's the time to attack. I mean what's the point, so on that case, internationalism and being nice is not rewarded, only horrible psycho brinkmanship is seen as acceptable by these anti Western powers. But surely the problem with that, is either you always surrender, like trump did in Afghanistan, or you act bellicose and cause a war, like Germany in world war one. I think internationalism is right, but you can't just lay down to invaders surely.

  54. The fault of the Israeli Palestine war, is two sides who are against eacother, led by two sides with extreme opposite aims, that was not Biden fault, he is a typical pro peace process Dem, who sure supports Israel, but he did not cause oxt 7th, unless you subscribe to the idea Iran felt he was a push over, and then he just gave Israel all the guns it wanted, which any US president since Truman would have done.

  64. ​​​​​​​ @CarlLo-mein-k3i all the evidence indicates that racists usually have low iqs, while anti racism people like Oppenheimer or Dawkins or such like have high iqs. Have you ever talked to people from various races, there is no way in a million years that IQs are substantially different for different races. I have lived a long time, and talked to people of different races, and there is not one , that to me stands out as all are mostly super intelligent, and there is not one that stands out as particularly stupid. I think IQs are remarkably similar worldwide, other than educational systems. Ps bringing in the chip on your shoulder rubbish, does not wash with me, it's just boring and the fact that the huge chip on your shoulder poor me stuff you trot out is your main obsession indicates that. Just talk to people of different races, and you will find your theory on IQ has no semblance in day to day reality. You can believe there were colonial injustices, and historical effects, without believing that certain groups need to be classed as evil. I don't think white people or East Asians are evil, but do realise, that history has effects on some places being richer or poorer. All you have to do is talk to people of other races, and it's clear. Also in the modern globalized world most advances are by globally sourced egg heads in top universities. A d you misunderstood what the word equality means, like in 1984, when ingsoc try to ban the word, and make it mean the same as same. It does not mean that, it means respecting all as equal citizens in certain situations, with certain caveats like law, or some such. Which most would want for them self. If you talk to people of different races, you will see there is not the huge difference you want to believe in. It's not me being politically correct, it's just what I have experienced in life, your theory that different races have naturally different levels of IQ, does not hold up to every day experience, and life. The reason most clever people dont agree with you, is the opposite of what you believed was proven to be true, by reality.

  68. IQ depends on many things, look at Massachusetts, a far higher IQ than most European countries, whereas most of the USA, is below them, look at most racists, most are very stupid. Weird al yankovic IQ is way above average USA or even Europe IQ, and no IQ test has ever found any group anywhere near his IQ, surely the IQ differences found are tiny, and probably caused by economics, really. Clever people have iqs in the 130 range, or 150, no race or nationality is anywhere near that. So iq differences are at most tiny and uncertain. And populations have wide variance. IQ is not racial, it's educational.

  69. ​ @HappyHopefullTree they can make a toothbrush. Look at the famous Ghanaian stools, that West Africans king who was richest in history, West Africa had metal industries before Jesus. Gas masks and refrigerated trucks were invented by black people. Have you heard of Mark Dean who invented the IBM PC monitor, and the traffic light. I find most white racists speak like junkies. What about all the doctors who are black, and all the white racists, who are not clever enough to be.

  85. There is no way iqs are.drastically different, if you ever met people of other races you will know they are pretty much similar in IQ. The range is probably a difference of ten at most, except for some cultural causations, like if a country has a national education system, with higher education for all its bounds to have higher average iqs, than one without. The differences in IQ are negligible, unlike voting for right wing and populist parties, which is often something done by people of much lower IQ, especially when you remember IQ is only significant when you get to 120 or 140, or down to 80, and no nationality or race , taking out cultural bias, of IQ tests is truly on either of any end of that spectrum.
