Maybe he shouldn't have been a huge racist?

blah blah blah the entire progressive movement in america was founded by racists. WWI was won by Wilson who funded KKK films from the white house, and re-segregated the military. He's still extolled as one of the best presidents in america. Margret Sanger was a huge racist and founded planned parenthood due to her devotion for eugenics. she also supported the banning of pesticides that slightly damaged the environment yet made it possible for large amounts of people to get fed in terrible farming conditions, and thus starved swaths of people in poor countries. So basically people who made major contributions to society and were raised before the 50-60's were huge racists but still made decent advances in society.

To avoid being branded as racist, can we at least all agree that IQ in males tends to be inversely proportional to penis size?

Just lets assume that a gene actually controls that, man that is one tricky subject. Because a lot of parents would like the idea of having biological grandkids etc. I know that's changing now in that homosexual parents can have biological children more easily, but I don't think it's necessarily a terrible thing for a parent, when faced with a tangible choice, to have a desire one way or the other


just for the record though I think eugenics is a bad thing i'm just talking about the actual feelings and emotions behind it, not the act

Eugenics is selective breeding and sterilization en mass. What a parent decides is not the same thing as a top down approach to breed out what some people consider undesireable traits. But if you agree that aborting babies is okay, then genetic testing of the fetus and contiued abortion until the desired trait comes along is a valid approach for a parent, but not an enforced societal policy. Genetic modification is just a more direct way of doing it for a parent. His statement would have been as inflammatory if he replaced homosexuals with red hair and freckles

Unironically agree with everything J-Watts says.

And I also happen to be a scientist - I'm always amazed how everyone knows more about 'thing' than scientists who topped their classes before going on to spend their entire lives studying 'thing' just because it clashes with their preconceived notions.

There are large areas of research that would be of benefit to mankind if they weren't 'politically incorrect' and therefore unfundable career suicide.

Some KKK dude saying Africans are less intelligent is racist. A scientist proposing a hypothesis that Africans are less intelligent is not racism.

Of course if I got my wish and political correctness was removed from science all the results would still be misinterpreted by idiots to justify whatever preconceived notions they had beforehand... just like what happens now with all other research.

What I'm getting to is it's the dumbfucks ruining the show.

The gently caress it did you ignorant dipshit. Rosalind Franklin worked on A form DNA. Watson and Crick were working on the hydrated B form. While Rosalind's work was useful as a comparison it did not lead to the same conclusions Watson and Crick came to. If you sincerely believe Rosalind Franklin deserved the prize and you are not trolling Jesus Christ I don't know anymore.


Now I feel better.

one night many years ago while drunk I switched the avs of a lot of people in LF with the avs of people they didn't like, they got quite annoyed and a couple of people melted down irl over it

they blamed some poor guy they happened to be dogpiling for another reason at the time I began switching them, of course he swore up and down that it wasn't him but nobody believed him and they never found out it was me
