Is there any evidence that increasing diversity in an academic institution (women, blacks, hispanics, gays) leads to better scientific output?

Why is political inclination not considered diversity in academia? 80% of academia is left-wing. Conservatives, libertarians, ancaps, and minarchists are as rare in academia as any other minority, and by definition they can offer different perspectives.

>> No.10288953

>>10288844
I think you're referring to the humanities. By definition, conservatives are opposed to any changes to tradition and the status quo because they think everything is currently fine the way it is.

However, the humanities requires you to have a critical and open perspective of society, and that doesn't really fit well with conservative ideology.

Nope. All disciplines of academia are overrun by liberals, including math and science.

>> No.10288981

In theory increase diversity be it population or politics should lead to better or at least varied scientific output.

Conservatives take issue with academia because it challenges traditional power structures (be it God, religious/cultural practices, philosophy, financial prioritization). So rather than adapting their structures to modern research they are interested in modern research adapting to their power structure. So academia research that produces practical/ consumer base technology is okay with them. Smartphones and computers do not challenge the power structures. Academic research involving sciencentific findings that require society to alter their behavior is not okay with them. Germ theory, evolution and climate change do challenge the power structures. Shit involving quantum mechanics though seems to be ignored for the most part by conservatives.

As for libertarianism I think the main issue is the how they view the support structure of academia both in authority and financially. Which is either to much or to little depending on the branch of libertarian philosophy you ascribe too. They really don't have a reason not to be involved other than they aren't interested in hard science but soft science aka physics vs social science.

Liberals are far more afraid of challenges to their beliefs than conservatives. Try to talk to an academic about
-IQ differences between races,
-how communism is antithetical to human nature,
-how immigration and welfare cannot coexist,
-how government is too expansive and inefficient
-how Islam is incompatible with Western culture
-sexual market value
-physiological and psychological differences between genders and races,

You're trolling but I'll respond anyway. The context of the phrase is:

A first-world country cannot accept a boundless number of migrants and simultaneously give them welfare for a long time - the burden on the country's taxpayers will become too great before long and collapse the country's economy, making it a third world shithole just like the one the migrants escaped in the first place.

Of course migration and welfare can coexist for a short period of time, the point is it's unsustainable.

Lynn's data is flawed:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Differences_in_Intelligence_(book)
>The majority of the data points were based upon convenience rather than representative samples. Some points were not even based on residents of the country. For instance, the “data point” for Suriname was based on tests given to Surinamese who had migrated to the Netherlands, and the “data point” for Ethiopia was based on the IQ scores of a highly selected group that had emigrated to Israel and, for cultural and historical reasons, was hardly representative of the Ethiopian population. The data point for Mexico was based upon a weighted averaging of the results of a study of “Native American and Mestizo children in southern Mexico” with result of a study of residents of Argentina. Upon reading the original reference, we found that the “data point” that Lynn and Vanhanen used for the lowest IQ estimate, Equatorial Guinea, was actually the mean IQ of a group of Spanish children in a home for the developmentally disabled in Spain. Corrections were applied to adjust for differences in IQ across cohorts (the “Flynn” effect), on the assumption that the same correction could be applied internationally, without regard to the cultural or economic development level of the country involved. While there appears to be rather little evidence on cohort effect upon IQ across the developing countries, one study in Kenya (Daley, Whaley, Sigman, Espinosa, & Neumann, 2003)[5] shows a substantially larger cohort effect than is reported for developed countries.

As for what the textbook says:
>See picture.
But keep in mind that IQ is thought to have a large heritable component.
>The general figure for the heritability of IQ, according to an authoritative American Psychological Association report, is 0.45 for children, and rises to around 0.75 for late adolescents and adults.[77][78] Heritability measures in infancy are as low as 0.2, around 0.4 in middle childhood, and as high as 0.9 in adulthood.[79][80] One proposed explanation is that people with different genes tend to reinforce the effects of those genes, for example by seeking out different environments.[9][81]

See:
>Your thesis is not your dissertation. Neither is it a one liner about what you are doing. Your thesis is "a position or proposition that a person (as a candidate for scholastic honors) advances and offers to maintain by argument." [Webster's 7th New Collegiate Dictionary]. "I looked at how people play chess" is not a thesis; " people adapt memories of old games to play new games" is. Similarly, "I wrote a program to play chess" is not a thesis; "playing chess requires a database of actual games" is. A thesis has to claim something.
>A defense presents evidence for a thesis. What kind of evidence is apprpropriate depends on what kind of thesis is being defended.

>And there go the ad hominem attacks, that didn't take long did it

>I showed you my evidence. You said it's discredited by a bunch of opinions, I say I don't give a fuck about opinions. I want data. Do you have any or not?
Fun fact, those aren't opinions because those are facts that were errors in Lynn's methology, admitted by Lynn himself.
Shows what you know, idiot.

Also, for a fun little add on. IQ tests are also culture unfair, which is why you would need to make an IQ tests for each culture, and wouldn't be fair when aggregating the data, as they'd be from different tests (which I sort of what Lynn did, but used an unfair test, in an unfair way, with poor methodology).

First of all, that's now how evolution works. What happens is random mutation, it is then if those random mutations are either beneficial, either beneficial nor hampering, or hampering.
If they are beneficial, they get selected for.
If they are neither, they get passed on due to being ignored.
If they are hampering, to the point at which you die, you die before passing on the genetic information.

We aren't talking about beliefs though. We are talking about power structures which is a completely different beast.

Perhaps you are thinking about non-dualists and spiritualists who are open to various types of beliefs and perspectives. They are not conservatives though, never get that confused.

>and dozens of other "taboo" topics

If they were taboo then it wouldn't be so easy for you or the average person to get a hold of that information. Let alone talk to them about that information. The truth is several of those "taboo" subjects you outlined are out of date because the categorization isn't accurate enough for further usage. In the medical/genetics field "race" isn't accurate enough to provide custom medicine or full genome analysis. Which is why haplotype/haplogroup exist. In neurology IQ isn't accurate enough to explain complex intelligence. Which is why neuroplasticity exist. Other topics such as Sexual Market value get plenty of play both in commercial sector and research.

A couple days ago I read an article in Scientific American that was by a guy who said that diversity in his lab gives him different perceptions on things. I can't see anything bad coming from having diversity, as long as everybody speaks the same language.

in my ethics class they said an asian focuses on the surroundings because of their collectivist culture and americans focus on points because of their individualistic culture. This was found by the analysis of eyes. Therefore diversity can be important because it allows people to see things from another perspective which is necessary in science. What looks hard to an american might be easy for an asian.
Of course these differences blur together when you have asians growing up in america though.

Because anyone who isn't a blind follower of authority would never want a job in academia in the first place, it's always been an inefficient bureaucracy from it's inception, and has only gotten worse which is obvious as day from the sheer number of unreproducable papers.

Conservatives are more conscientious and so should be able to do better during undergrad, at least, since it is just rote learning.

Liberals are, on average, slightly more open to ideas which should mean they are more innovative, and so seeing them dominate research would be unsurprising.

These differences, however, are around 10%, so seeing differences of up to 9:1 left:right in academia in certain fields, and about 4:1 (being generous) overall is not aligned with your hypothesis or views.

To use your own logic against you, lefties would thus be more inclined to change the status quo, regardless of its scientific (in)validity to the same degree that righties would do the same to protect it. That's why science needs to be a bipartisan endeavour - change the shit, keep the good - same goes for politics.

I don't know how much layers of racism or ignorance you have to have in order to think an average african has less IQ than a retard.
>"lol but their retards cuz thei're undeveloped"
Fuck, if you say that you clearly have never knew a literal retard. Having less than 80 IQ is not just "I can't math" level of stupidity, it's "stare a wall and laugh for no fucking reason" level. And if you even knew about the syndromes and mutations that normally those retards have an underdeveloped brain or some malformation in it.
The fact that someone can talk normally, socialize normally, have a normal job, etc; which many africans do, shows that they aren't retarded.

It's just fucking common sense Jesus Christ.

>However, the humanities requires you to have a critical and open perspective of society

What happens when the critical and open perspective of society leads you to a conservative conclusion? We often, I'd say regularly, see liberal/progressive dogmatism refuse to accept a more conservative viewpoint. You're also a jackass with
>status quo because they think everything is currently fine the way it is.
Conservatism runs the gamut from reactionary (retograde) to conservative (freeze status quo) to cautious or restrainers of liberalism ("Change is necessary, but it should be challenged and not allowed to happen via hubristic unilateral fiat").

I've come to my conservative conclusions on immigration and multiculturalism by reading unpartisan historical accounts. I detest blatant propagandists with some screedy Fox-news-bullshit. I can look at the inevitability of sectarianism among states without a strong enough over-arching identity (not needing to be racial, as the case in the later Roman Empire), how incessantly large ethnic minorities were used as justification for foreign interference (By Christians in the Ottoman Empire, by the British with their citizenry in the Boer republics, by the Germans, by the Russians both ethnically and religiously) and come to a conclusion that conservatism with regards to migration and multiculturalism is correct.

And in doing so I will be labeled a racist.
