In a hunter-gatherer group, despite men's physical strength peaking in their twenties, their skill at hunting did not peak until in their mid-forties.

My own realization that we were over our heads in Afghanistan came when I interviewed farmers who pretended to set up Taliban camps that the US would then bomb. The farmers would collect the remnants of millions of dollars worth of bombs and sell them for $100 as scrap metal.
This is called a barber chair. The tree splits instead of a controlled fall at the hinge wood - & where it lands is anyone’s guess. It’s what loggers & arborists have nightmares about.

He is an ardent monarchist (we are in the UK) but not in the typical use of the word (ie liking the Queen being an impartial head of state), he literally believes in the divine right of kings and that it is the only natural form of government.
On ABC, Rahm Emanuel literally says a Biden White House should tell people laid off from retail stores like JC Penney to learn to code.
He actually said this. Amazing.
Contrary to a popular view in psychology, intelligent people are just as prejudiced as less intelligent people – but just toward different groups. (N = 5,914)
Journalists & psychologists take note: Nature Human Behavior is no longer a peer-reviewed scientific journal but an enforcer of a political creed. I won't referee, publish, or cite (how do we know articles have been vetted for truth rather than political correctness)?

last week: Migrants in the caravan aren't going to be climbing over walls! It's not an invasion!

CEO Michael Eisner to ex-premier Zhu Rongji, which so aptly sums up the Hollywood studio approach to China since the 90s (Martin Scorsese’s “Kundun” was a biopic of the 14th Dalai Lama):

Why, for example, do we know so much about hiring discrimination against women and ethnic minorities? Because researchers send out fake CVs and see how real employers respond.
Do we seriously want to stop these studies? That would be lunacy, in my mind.

Second, some fields of study roundly rejected the hoax submissions. As many pointed out, for example, their track record with sociology journals was 0/7. That’s good news.
It also kind of helps to make their point though: Not all of academia is rotten. Some fields are!
