Another week, another attempt by woke academics to push sex pseudoscience. In my video, I explain why a new paper in Neurotoxicology claiming that "sex is a spectrum," a "mosaic of factors," and a "conglomeration of variables" isn't just wrong, but totally self-refuting. It tries to argue that the term "sex differences" is an "underdefined generalization that creates a distinct binary" when sex is actually a "spectrum." So instead of saying "sex differences," the authors propose a new term: "Sex-Associated Variables," or SAVs. These SAVs, according to the authors, include morphological, genetic, and endocrine factors. The authors state that "The use of SAVs allows for a more nuanced analysis of potential sex differences by using several different sex related characteristics as a defined variable that can be correlated with outcomes, rather than a reductive category." But ask yourself this: How do the authors know which variables are "associated" with being male or female without knowing what males and females are independently of these SAVs? The entire point of the paper is to deny a gamete-based view of sex on grounds that it is overly "reductive" and fails to capture the complexity of sex differences. But the authors are totally oblivious (or at least willfully ignorant) to the fact that their ability to assign SAVs to a particular sex, not just in humans but in non-human animals as well, necessarily presupposes the validity of the gamete-based view of sex. Watch the video for a more detailed breakdown. I've covered this argument, and many others, in great detail in my scholarly paper "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes." If you want a solid framework that exposes the central flaws in woke pseudoscience surrounding biological sex, I strongly recommend reading it. It's open access and relatively short.

listen up, we have to vote for the man with the nazi tattoo so he can stop the man landing rockets and curing the blind from making any more money, otherwise we’ll get fascism you see how stupid you sound, yes?

While mowing the lawn around a tree, this days-old fawn I didn't see jumped up and fled when I got too close. It could barely walk, let alone run, and it stopped on the side of a road out in the open sun and laid down. That's not a very safe place for a fawn. So I carried it to a nearby tree away from the road with good cover at the base, in a spot where all the adult deer pass by so it should see it's mom when she returns. This thing is so darn cute it hurts.

When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade. They won't let you stay, either.

Update: 270 professors have signed the social sciences/humanities letter to bring back standardized tests across the University of California Strong showing from the following fields: -Economics -Political Science -Sociology -Psychology -Business

It was an honor to sit down with Jeremy to discuss how activists captured peer review, used it to manufacture a fake "expert consensus" on various essential topics, and what I and Kevin McCaffree at @Theory_Society have done to fix it.

Most people don't understand the difference between having billions in the bank, liquid, & having ownership shares in companies worth billions. And I think it would behoove the media to explain this once in a while.

The AAUP's "academic freedom" center is lavishly funded by the Mellon Foundation—which is covertly funding a larger "rapid response" org. Ironically, the AAUP has now criticized the Vandy/WashU report for not disclosing its source of funding. x.com/JohnDSailer/status/206…

Saving LA - Phase III

🔥Humanities professors unite w/ STEM faculty, demanding the University of California reinstate the SAT “We call for the UC Academic Senate and the UC Regents to give up the failed experiment of the last 6 years & return to including both the math & the verbal reasoning components of SAT/ACT as part of undergraduate admissions”

We need more voices like Christina’s in the mix that help present the much- needed case for youth residential treatment

It amazes me how anti-progress so-called "progressives" are.

It astonishes me how the left's primary argument for a "wealth tax" relies on a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between income and wealth, and the concept of unrealized gains. It's just pure ignorance.

All of the Ivies have finally realized what we all knew to be true (and what @neetu_arnold has written about extensively)—there needs to be an objective standard for college admissions. Essays and GPAs alone don't cut it. You can't deny reality forever.

I spoke this morning on the research, legal, and policy expert panel at the @USCCRgov briefing on mental health in juvenile justice facilities in D.C. I look forward to sharing my testimony on the issues affecting youth in care!

My new @ManhattanInst report makes the case for state legislatures to take up the fight against grade inflation at public universities Universities struggle to maintain strong policies on grading reform b/c institutional incentives discourage serious internal reform⬇️ shorturl.at/U2JDK
