The idea of forbidden knowledge is common to many religions

Makes you wonder about the modern academy refusing to gaze on the GWAS data
Polynesians were in California more than a thousand years ago?
I had no idea "poultice" was a cognate of "poultry", or why 😳
"Chicken soup" for illness was a trans-Pacific meme?

Also...

Broke: Birkenstocks

Woke: Spatchcocks
I'd never considered that having men away from home for long stretches might select for matrilineal, matrilocal society

But I can't quite see the logic

@Paracelsus1092 do you get it?

And were Vikings matrilocal / matrilineal?

1\ At a party this weekend and laughing at the 2D caricatures the Left paints of the unvaxxed: basically all fat angry white guys who drive dirty trucks in flyover land

In reality: 28 of 30 guests were unvaxxed, and they cut quite the swath:
2\ Two korean girls, one does acro yoga and organic stuff, other runs a bar

Art major living in literal van in forest, building artisanal underground meat smoker

31yo kid who flips a few hundred houses a year

Three big wave surfers

Couple gay guys
3\ Ex congressman

Vietnamese refugee who now owns commercial RE, including a doctor's practice that offers fake vax records

Bunch of fund managers, many 100M in AUM

Two retired pilots

Couple PubCo directors

Son of clinical research director

Etc. etc.

I expect Pinker's "Rationality" book will be terrific, but I'm also going to have fun pointing out the places where he shoe-horned his politics into his thesis

E.g. calling this "Fake news" is disingenuous when there was a *true* story where people were called "deplorables" Image
Here he offers a straw man of Right-wing prejudice

But in reality, people have extremely accurate stereotypes of which groups (including some immigrants) disproportionately commit crime Image
Here Pinker claims COVID panic was rational

But even if you underestimated spread by 100x (as I did), you could look at Chinese and Korean data in Feb 2020 and know that COVID was harmless except to the already moribund

Pinker is silent on hospitals having been empty Image

Fauci is something separate and apart from COVID hysteria. All countries but ours had hysteria without him. The model for Fauci is not Eichmann but Franz Mesmer; both spoke directly to gullible women.
Had Fauci been square jawed and tall, every Karen would have jealously guarded him against the adoration of other women

But his dwarf physiognomy made him common property among the hens

Mesmer looked like a dumpling
All through lockdown I was on the mailing list of my septuagenarian aunt

The daily missives-here's how Fauci says to wipe down groceries, here's what Fauci says about visiting children-had an identifiably sexual undercurrent

Like nuns working themselves into a lather about JC

COVID lockdowns haven't been all bad
Template for anyone who wants it. Found it in an Indonesian annual report. Think it has legs as a meme.
Variation on a theme

Finally starting to pay attention to vax data

Am I incorrect that Pfizer and Moderna RCTs showed no mortality reduction in the trial arm, and that claims of vax efficacy depend on looking at the double vaxxed cohort while ignoring dropouts after Dose 1?
I assume it can't possibly be this bad, so somebody tell me what I'm missing.
Not sure which one below is Pfizer and which Moderna. Also I don't think about trial design on a regular basis, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.
