Math Journal Kills Research Study After PC Backlash

I used to have a subscription to Scientific American...

Me too, but I got tired of them treating Global Warming as a given fact, never to be questioned.

I think I see the controversy: “how one gender of a sexually dimorphic species might tend to evolve with greater variability than the other gender. “

He is implying that there are only two sexes. How gauche! That’s sexist, racist, homophobic and transphobic.

It is easy to demonstrate the difference between the sexes. Just invite a number of couples over for dinner and start a conversation about the crazy things the men did when they were young. Guarantee the men can tell tons of stories , while the women never even thought to do that stuff.

If this isn’t Orwell’s “1984”... Geez.

And that IQ spread actually helps the survival of the species. Women provide the normative middle contributing to a stable society. Men at the upper edges of the IO range are the pathfinders to advancement and invention. Those at the lower range historically were likely the heavy lifters doing the most physically demanding tasks.

Aldous Huxley said the same thing in his elegant dystopian satire, Brave New World.

After researching what would make for a stable society, the World Controllers optimized the mix of Alpha males, Beta females, and lower castes, including the epsilon semi-morons. Too many of any caste, as proved from a social experiment on an island... and you got chaos.

And we do.

“Biased” was used to mean failure to agree with a sacred doctrine of the Left.

[chris37]

Ignore truth.

Just Do It!

In 1933 the Nazi burned books and scientific papers atmajor universities because they were anti German

"Me too, but I got tired of them treating Global Warming as a given fact, never to be questioned."

Years ago I read every issue cover to cover. Hofstadter was amazing!

Now Scientific American is a pathetic shadow of what it used to be.

[Blagden Alley]

Same here on Scientific American. Also, Martin Gardner died.

Mathematical Intelligencer is not really a journal, but a high level mazine of interesting, but known math and some of its applicagions. Not for the faint of heart. I left it a few years ago, but just because my interests varied. It is a shame to hear.

[Pollard]

math was racist a few weeks ago. Now it’s sexist too. Let’s just outlaw math and men and white people and the English language and anything else a few people don’t like or aren’t good at.

[fishtank]

Or the Three Stooges?

[poinq]

I hate to say this but this is not a math study. It has almost nothing to do with math. And I am not sure if these two professors are math professors. If they are, they should not be doing the study. IQ and the ability to do math is a Psychological study. Its a study of the mind, the minds ability to do math. A math journal may find this study interesting in a tangential way (tangential is math). But it should not be funding the study, or deciding its merits. Although if a Psych journal publishes the results, the math journal can comment on it.

I look at it from a different angle, namely, that the same impulse that makes a young boy light a fart is responsible for all the great inventions of the human race.

[Skooz]

PC destroys everything it touches.

[rlmorel]

I don’t think you need to take issue with this.

This isn’t an argument that men have higher IQs than women. And it isn’t an argument that women don’t have high IQs, equally as high as men.

It is a statement of observation that many people have made over the years that there is simply a higher clustering of men at both the high and low ends of the IQ spectrum whose distribution is not replicated in women.

This observation is borne out both from actual observation and scientific observation, at least with tools available. (IQ measurements are always a subject of controversy)

[rlmorel]

ROTFLMAO...well, that is indeed true.

I remember as a kid, my dad loved Jerry Lewis, and my mom seemed to get visibly angry watching him enjoy it, as if she wanted to yell out “IT IS SO DEMEANING THAT YOU FIND THAT AMUSING!”

Kind of the same with the Three Stooges and Monty Python, though I have indeed met women who enjoy them.

But not Beavis and Butthead...yet!

"...I look at it from a different angle, namely, that the same impulse that makes a young boy light a fart is responsible for all the great inventions of the human race..."

I THINK YOU NAILED IT!
