The fallacy of composition is a logical fallacy that occurs when one incorrectly assumes that what is true for the parts of a whole must also be true for the whole itself. In other words, it’s the mistake of attributing a characteristic of individual members or parts to…[Read more]

Reg,

The role of migration and population dynamics in shaping human history does not necessitate a return to the flawed ideologies of the past.

Coincidentally, I was reading this Quillette article yesterday. I agree with what you say.

Proper study of ancient DNA (aDNA, as it’s called) does not mean revival of Gustav Kossinna’s Kultur-Gruppen…[Read more]

June already?  Why, looking at your heading for today, Reg, we’ve gone and hit July 🙂

also, thank you for Sunday School 🙂

I seldom spend time in the Southern States during the summer months. I can handle 80F – 85F in many countries as I tend to spend a lot of time outside. The humidity gets to me and I find it very unpleasant especially if I want to go for a run. I also don’t like the atmosphere created by air con units unless they are properly maintained. I spent 2…[Read more]

Yeah, I hope summer goes by fast in my frame of reference. I have started thinking about Halloween already. Just can’t enjoy nature for more than a few minutes in this heat and humidity.

And just like the Jews and Arabs fighting over a sandbox patch under scorching sun, billions of Indians and Pakistanis are divided by imaginary gods and religion.

We just can’t rise above it, can we? The entire bell curve is not centered at reality. The median value is close to “moronic delusions”. No way to hit reset, clean out the cobwebs of…[Read more]

June already! How dat happen? Have a great week!

Yeah Enco you are debating the allegations and avoiding whataboutism. Reminds me of law. HEARSAY! Hearsay as a general rule is not admissible. Objection, hearsay! The proponent counters with one of the exceptions to the rule like excited utterance. “Oh my fucking god that guy is naked in public and trying to make that goat pregant!” Earmarks of…[Read more]

Enco,

Whataboutism with respect to my POV regarding the mythology and religion of lefty Jew Hatred is itself a way to deflect. It is a lowlife rhetorical tactic and a mainstay in the narratives of the lefty religionists. It keeps the lefties in a nice safe space where they can attack Jews and never look in the mirror.

While it is perfectly valid…[Read more]

Unseen,

Why do you assume they all speak with one voice? I’ll stick with genocide for myself. It sure looks like Netanyahu and his ilk won’t be done until the last man, woman, child, and infant is pushing up daisies. Apartheid was more applicable before the genocide began.

The Anti-Israel protestors are alleging all three.

So, if Israel is gen…[Read more]

Unseen,

So what is it, War, Genocide, or Apartheid? Anti-Israel protesters keep moving the goalposts here.

And while Whataboutism is a Logical Fallacy, isn’t is also a Logical Faux Pas to have the soft bigotry of lowered expectations for Islamic and Third World peoples?

Again, October 7 happened on Netanyahu’s watch, so he’s not above scrutiny here.

Enco,

In a way it is apples to morons comparing Jews to Muslims. Jews are an ethnicity and Muslims are morons the world over. To be in that cult is to experience a retardation in terms of intellectual development. Everything is explained. Just go to the mosque and all of the answers are given. Conform to all of the islamic norms or be…[Read more]

Jake,

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is in error about Economics not being a science, and in the larger body of the speech, he is in error on the origins of the numbers we use (they are Sanskrit, not Arabic.). But his basic position on contributions to science is correct.

In the larger speech he pointed out the religious reason why the Islamic world is…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers, Sorry, I didn’t mean to repeat myself.

Not sure if this topic has been addressed but it is something that occurs to me from time to time.

People who are influential in various fields are well advised to choose their words carefully. Creationists are wont to seize on any soundbite that makes evolution seem questionable to the casual observer. Einstein never should have said god doesn’t…[Read more]
