The perfect fit for William'...<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Kanazawa" rel="nofollow">Satoshi Kanazawa</a>. The perfect fit for William's level of intelligence.<br /><br />In March 2011, Kanazawa wrote an article titled, 'Are All Women Essentially Prostitutes?' <br /><br />In May 2011, popular protests against Kanazawa were provoked by s post written by him asserting that black women are less attractive and intelligent than women from other racial groups. <br /><br />P.Z. Myers, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Minnesota, has called Kanazawa "the great idiot of social science."<br /><br />On May 16, 2011, a petition was launched demanding that Psychology Today remove Kanazawa as a contributor to their website and magazine. The petition cites Kanazawa's "discredited research" and "racially biased articles."<br /><br />The University of London Union Senate, the Union's legislative body representing over 120,000 students, voted unanimously in favor of calling for a campaign for Kanazawa's dismissal. The reasons stated for this call for dismissal include flawed research and unscientific bigotry.<br /><br />An open letter signed by sixty-eight evolutionary psychologists states that "He has repeatedly been criticised by other academics in his field of research for using poor quality data, inappropriate statistical methods and consistently failing to consider alternative explanations for his results."<br /><br />In the British Journal of Health Psychology George Ellison wrote that the theory is based on flawed assumptions, questionable data, inappropriate analysis and biased interpretations. Ellison wrote that Kanazawa mistook statistical associations for evidence of causality and falsely concluded that populations in sub-Saharan Africa are less healthy because they are unintelligent and not because they are poor.<br /><br />"Summarizing the views of other evolutionary psychologists, cognitive scientist of NYU and blogger for Psychology Today, Scott Barry Kaufman asserted that a prominent paper by Kanazawa showed “poor logic, lack of nuance, and blatant disregard for the totality of the evidence."Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-55605766772167956772011-08-23T21:24:07.028-07:002011-08-23T21:24:07.028-07:00For Bob:

Thanks for posting... Love that wet, full head of hair. The last photo I saw was about like the one in your profile photo, about that age. Really great to see how he is springing up. Sorry, could not resist the pun...<br /><br />Btw, I DO hang around kids that I babysit, even today--a 14-month old girl--so hopefully this isn't too gushy (another pun). I remember you mentioned that people who are not around kids much can seem to be deprived. And I do hope to join the crowd sometime, just haven't quite yet.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900344453710081874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-75453782528289286862011-08-22T19:11:34.413-07:002011-08-22T19:11:34.413-07:00Speaking of aeration and irrigation...Speaking of aeration and irrigation<a href="http://juliecork.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/air-water-sunshine/" rel="nofollow">...</a>juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-62802285782207365672011-08-22T18:48:53.672-07:002011-08-22T18:48:53.672-07:00:)
