>Stop Equating Science with Truth.

Hey, at least we aren't short of material to work with in future literary works. The angles you can analyse or issues in our postmodern society that are worthy of critique are endless.

Science tells us that only one race - the human race - exists

I don't get it. If the science is at fault and is being used by ((males)) to perpetuate unequal systems, why not review the epistemology used and counter it with their own methods. That would show them the biases of their rationality. Instead of this, we get dumbos like this guy telling us of the historicity of science and calling everyone racist and sexist.

Scientism and positivism are pig troughs for the low minded, but you can tell their qualms with evopsych are entirely partisan. They would probably lynch people for not accepting global warming's 100% certified Truthiness™ otherwise.

/pol/ has learned to hide political views in public life (gossiping women, Jews and journalists).
All they need is /fit/ and act out their ideals. Women won't care if you won't trigger their Bernays programming.

>Misrepresenting empirical evidence as rationalistic evolutionary psychology.
>Using that perceived lack of evidence as a justification for fragile diversity policies (absence of evidence is evidence of absence fallacy).
It occurs to me that Talebs principle of minimizing harm is similar to helicopter theory.

Evolutionary psychology is a very weak field of research (although it is reasonable, given how recent it is). What's more important is that it has no prescriptive power, which is the point of the author of that article.

It says nothing of the kind. In fact, it says the exact opposite.

Retarded ultraliberals that don't even know what genetic analyses are say that races don't exist.
