suicide contagion

How Should the Media Cover Suicides? A New Study Has Some Answers:

It’s no secret to mental health experts that exposure to suicide, either directly or through media and entertainment, may make people more likely to resort to suicidal behaviors themselves. The phenomenon even has a name: suicide contagion.

And a new paper, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, says some specific journalistic practices — such as including lots of details about a death by suicide, or glamorizing these incidents — may make suicide contagion worse.

от себя добавлю: Justices Reject Ban on Violent Video Games for Children, no contagion found here somehow. or maybe it's the game manufacturers lobby's lurking somewhere behind the scene?

mothers want extraversion

“Mothers want extraversion over conscientiousness or intelligence for their children.” - Abstract @sciencedirect.com

via The Drive for Perfect Children Gets a Little Scary:

Upon reflection, maybe that isn’t so surprising, because parents presumably want children who are fun to spend time with.
...
It’s also not difficult to imagine parents wanting children who are relatively well-behaved. The same research paper found that mothers, after extroversion, preferred the trait of “agreeableness” in their children, again over both intelligence and conscientiousness.

also Eugenics and Equality Can't Mix: Aborting babies with detected disabilities is incompatible with equality.

When we do everything in our power to detect the existence of a baby with a special need with the sole purpose of terminating him or her, we create a discriminatory culture, where only perfect humans may apply for entrance. This is a powerful obstacle against equality and acceptance of the disabled, which a just society must set as its first goal.

sexual grooming gangs

Grooming: Sajid Javid orders officials to build profile of sex gangs - это The Guardian

Home Secretary orders investigation into ethnic origin of sexual grooming gangs - это Independent

интересно отметить, что слово ethnic в The Guardian отсутствует как в заголовке, так и в тексте статьи. видимо, считается непристойным. однако в статье говорится:

It emerged on Wednesday that she was given extra police security after getting death threats in response to comments she made about the British Pakistani men who groomed white girls for sexual abuse.

Champion wrote a column for the Sun last year in which she said: “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”. She later stressed she had not sought to attack the entire British Pakistani community.

между тем Sputnik International, орган пропаганды кровавого путена™ пишет:

The disproportionately high number of grooming gangs of Pakistani background in the UK has often been pointed out by activist Tommy Robinson, who has received death threats for his work on exposing the nature of child grooming in Britain.

интересно, что это их вдруг прорвало. Tommy Robinson? думаю, это типа "у нас открытое общество, вот и расследование начнем...", ну а там понемножку рассосется

"Пидарасы", - сказал Хрущев.
Был я смолоду не готов
Осознать правоту Хрущева,
Но, дожив до своих годов,
Убедился, честное слово.

Суета сует и обман,
Словом, полный анжамбеман.
Сунь два пальца в рот, сочинитель,
Чтоб остались только азы:
Мойдодыр, жи-ши через и,
Потому что система - ниппель.

Впору взять и лечь в лазарет,
Где врачует речь логопед.
Вдруг она и срастется в гипсе
Прибаутки, мол, дул в дуду

Всё б/у. Хрущев не ошибся.

modest and blurry

Dobzhansky didn't want to do away with the concept of races completely. He wanted people to see them for just how modest and blurry they really were. Dobzhansky defined races as nothing more than “populations which differ in the frequencies of some gene or genes." - pg 206, She Has Her Mother's Laugh by Carl Zimmer

этого отрывка вполне достаточно, чтобы понять, чем Carl Zimmer занимается на 672-х страницах

pp. 210-213 - so much muddle one doesn't need to know anything about genetics to understand it's all junk

и очень кстати BuzzFeed разъясняет Райху How Not To Talk About Race And Genetics: Reich frames his argument... This misrepresents... Reich critically misunderstands and misrepresents... в общем напоминает центральную Правду. [see @charlesmurray]

Guns and slavery grew even more intertwined in the Galton family fortune. By the 1750s, the Galtons were delivering more than twenty-five thousand guns a year to European traders, who sold the weapons to African states engaged in increasingly bloody battles. The warring states captured prisoners in the fights, and then sold them to European slave traders. Before long, they demanded to be paid for the slaves with more guns instead of gold. - pg 287

enlightening

еще исключительно идиотская глава The Teachable Ape, на стр 448-450 про то, как европейцы пытались пересечь Австралию с юга на север и все погибли, потому что не могли найто воду и еду, а местное племя Yandruwandha все это находило с легкостью. это к тому, что европейцы тупы вместе с их хваленой культурой. как в том анекдоте: "Ну что, помог ему его английский?"

Mark Zuckerberg Says Facebook Won’t Remove Holocaust Denial Content - это HuffPo, не кто нибудь

Zuckerberg dug himself into an even deeper hole by offering up Holocaust denialism as another example of Facebook content he wouldn’t remove from the network.

“I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened,” Zuckerberg said. “I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong. I don’t think that they’re intentionally getting it wrong. I think ―”

Swisher quickly interrupted him to question his choice of example.

“In the case of the Holocaust deniers, they might be, but go ahead,” she interjected.

But Zuckerberg doubled down, implying that there is a good-faith debate happening on Facebook about the systematic slaughter of around 6 million Jewish people during World War II.
