Harvard loses no time in calling attention to the loophole saying they will comply with it.

- Descriptions of genius: -"never was such an outstanding personality." -"born with such knowledge of his craft that he never required training and went to his work naturally." Old Hemp, founding sire of the Border Collie nation. Great dog theory of history.
- Norway: the Progress Party forced Statistics Norway to release ethnic crime data. Almost half of young Somali men in Oslo (483 out of 1000) got caught and charged with violent crime. Prosecution rate for violent crime in Oslo among men age 15-24, 2021-23.
- What gives life meaning? Pew asked in 17 nations "what gives you meaning in life?": There's a big difference between Westerners and East Asians. 1. East Asians get less meaning from family and children than Westerners
- There was a superb study of honesty around the world in 2019. Leave 17,000 wallets (with contact email) containing various sums of money in 355 cities across 40 countries. Would finders email the owner? The result: rates of honesty vary a LOT.
- Only a small minority of adults (20% or less) know the meaning of words such as audacious, ominous, tirade, encumber, plagiarize, impale, travesty. Worth bearing in mind. Many people cannot reason very well due to low intelligence.
- Singapore is rich because of its lucky geography by a shipping lane. If so, why aren't other places by shipping lanes rich? Yemen, Somalia, Suez, Kerala, Dakar, Panama ought to be as rich as Singapore.
- I'm still surprised that feminists are largely silent about the increase in sexual crimes brought to Western Europe by Third World immigrants. Given the huge number of feminists throughout academia, media, politics, it is surprising that so little is heard about this.Statistics of overrepresentation of certain nationalities in the Netherlands in sexual crimes. Dutch - 2.8 per 10000 men Syrians - 12 (x4.4 overrepresentation) Iranians - 19 (x6.6) Eritreans - 21 (x7.5) Iraqis - 24 (x8.4) Afghans - 31 (x10.9) Somalis - 57 (x20.3)
- The Meiji government translated 10,000 technical books (applied science, industry, etc). Then, Japan became an industrial powerhouse. Must be the greatest industrial policy investment ever made! Once again: the importance of upper human capital. h/t 🔒
Japan’s massive public investments in codifying technical knowledge explain why it was unique among non-Western countries in industrializing in the 19th and early 20th centuries, from @juhreka13, Shogo Sakabe, and @deweinstein nber.org/papers/w32667 - Journalists increased their use of the term "white supremacy" by 2,862% between 2010 and 2019 across 47 news outlets. This level of social contagion is pathological.
- "NO evidence" Singapore drug use death rate: 0.26 per 100k. USA drug use death rate: 21.28 per 100k. NO. evidence.
Two people are due to be executed in #Singapore this week for drug-related offences. There's NO evidence that the death penalty has any impact on the use and availability of drugs. The death penalty must end everywhere. amn.st/6012PVBKe - Fertility rate keeps dropping in the Nordic countries. I guess gender parity, welfare state, & public childcare is not the solution to the fertility crisis.
Fertility in the Nordics keeps falling. What was earlier a rather gradual decline has accelerated in 2022. Inconsistent with explanations when societal gender regimes are the primary explanatory factor for cross-national differences in fertility. dx.doi.org/10.4054/DemRes…
