Here is a review I found of this book right now when searching Google: January 04, 2004 Routing The Race Deniers (Not That They’ll Notice) By Steve Sailer Read mensnewsdaily.com interview with Steve Sailer... Many intellectuals pride themselves on how remote their theorizing is from...

Some more excerpts from the book: Here is one example where first dogs, then humans were analyzed, with radically different reactions: "We next enter into the transcript the following quotation from Professor Freedman, who conducted some of the most important of these studies: 'I had...

A new super-cool book is "Race: The Reality of Human Differences," by Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele, 2004 (click here to read the whole book). Here are some interesting excerpts from the book: "Strong evidence in the case for race comes from examining the amount of variation actually...

There is more scientific evidence supporting a biological origin of human behavior than a supernatural origin. Actually, plenty of research is available in the field of psychometrics and behavioral genetics that explains much of human behavior. Yes, pragmatists choose to have tangible...

What's up everyone, Transhumanism is the belief that humans should be biologically/physically improved. This field materialized I believe around 1985 and formed the first organization, the Extropy Institute http://www.extropy.org/ around 1989 I believe. Transhumanists seek to use radical...

Exactly. Have you ever seen the inside of the brain? It's billions of neurons with trillions of synapses, all emerged in a liquid that carries hormones and other chemicals that interact with the synapses. Going through the axons and dentrites are ionic charges made of sodium and potassium...

The silicon substrate of computers may produce a different type of consciousness in the robot person than it does in you, the organic person. So, I would argue that the silicon person would indeed be an intelligent life-form, but one whose state of consciousness may be quite different from...

Yes, the ability for a human brain to think scientifically is the result of the actual biology of brain. Truth of the universe found in our genes? I am discussing human emotions, such as emotional attachment. The biological makeup of our brains enable us to think, to feel hunger, thirst...

I gave a scientific explanation of Emotional Attachment. But if you prefer a blue collar response, here you go: Love is a warm fuzzy feeling inside that makes me high as a kite and connects the Souls of all humans and thus gives us spiritual purpose and meaning blah blah blah.

This is an irrelevant question since the point of this thread is to discuss the subjectivity of freedom, not to promote one version of freedom over another.

Yes. My view is that there is no absolute definition of freedom since everyone views freedom differently. Gender equality is one subjective view of freedom. It is not "freedom" by absolute definition. Why are you speculating at what my personal political views are? I am debating...

That's how all liberties are; the Liberty of Neo-Cons to pollute the environment by driving SUVs or what have you breaks the "victims" liberties of breathing fresh air, drinking clean water, etc. The liberty of Neo-Cons to keep all the income he earns by not paying taxes infringes on the...
