More interesting stuff. According to a U of Toronto study (2016), the following four factors were by far the strongest predictors of Wokism: 1. Low verbal intelligence -- the greatest predictor, by far. 2. Being female. 3. Having a female temperament (male gammas, presumably). 4. Having taken even ...

Huh? It's definitely not ethically wrong and only a tiny minority find it morally wrong. Don't confuse having a downside to immorality.

An incorrect prediction is not a lie.

A lot of 'bear versus man' surveys doing the social media rounds, with the results causing a bit of a stir because most women answered that they would rather come across a bear in the woods than a man (presumably without a handy bear repellent). Not sure I agree with this, and I suspect that the qu...

At the current time, woke is a rallying cry for the MAGA crowd. It has lost it's original meaning, from a practical standpoint. Oh?? Have I missed something? What do you mean? A legitimate label, like woke, is initially created by a group to describe themselves. That is, those who are woke define t...

At the current time, woke is a rallying cry for the MAGA crowd. It has lost it's original meaning, from a practical standpoint. K: agreed, but ''WOKE'' can and does mean something for us who aspire to become better human beings.... and awareness and education are part of the path to becoming better...
