Just to amplify somewhat a point that many have noted, methinks that relative to “Watsongate”, several of the “usual suspects” – notably Myers and Zvan – don’t know whether they’re on foot or horseback. For instance, PZ’s post includes this rather categorical condemnation of EP even if he more or less contradicts himself with the subsequent sentence:
… but evolutionary psychology is one I would steer them well clear of, as a field that has not and will not ever contribute much of substance. The good papers in evo psych are the ones that use the tools of population genetics well and avoid the paleolithic mumbo-jumbo altogether).
However his later comment in the same thread has this rather remarkable volte-face:
There is respectable work published under the banner of evolutionary psychology. It’s just that the respectable stuff seems to be an interesting fusion of genetics, molecular biology, and anthropology that identifies and quantifies measurable genetic traits. I’ve got absolutely no beef with that.
Make up your mind there PZ. Either EP will never “contribute much of substance” or “there is respectable work published under the banner of EP”. And in the latter case it seems you’re pretty much obliged to concede that Watson’s hatchet job of the discipline was, at the very least, a rather serious error in judgement. And that, in consequence, the rather unseemly “cohabitation” of feminism and skepticism – some very strange bedfellows indeed whose sallys suffer in consequence, notably that gender is entirely a social construct – is decidedly problematic.

Seems to me that some might want to reconsider some of their personal and principled allegiances.

Hi how is everyone today? I have some things you may/may not enjoy...
Franc Hoggle on The Angry Atheist
http://angryatheist.info/?p=967

and A-news with myself and Brian Allen
http://a-news.apartmentj.com/?p=813



I would also like to ad HA HAHA! Pz, you got nuthin .....Stephanie Zvan you got nuthin+ You morons are so detached you can't even see how stupid you are making yourselves look and for what? To protect/support a looney babbling wanna be stand up comic act named Rebecca. Who told Rebecca to take her show on the road anyways? Didn't she realize that's a figure of speech?

I also suggest we support Edward Clint at any and all opportunities on this matter because I don't want to see him bullied in any way that may make him another casualty. That means getting over the usual "I don't even bother to comment" and posting because it's the readers you are talking to not the authors in many cases..

I realise that this might be off some peoples radar right now, it being a Brit thing, but for these people that constantly rage against bad science there really is no excuse for a near total radio silence on this issue. Not when you're going to illustrate your talks about how bad evo-psych is with articles from The Sun and The Daily Mail. Don't bitch about climate-denialism and illustrate your presentations with Daily Express articles if you're ultimately disinterested in making sure they slap big old "bullshit" labels all over that type of yellow journalism when the opportunity arises to make them.

Instead of that, there's just another petty bitch fight between Myers and some guy over something Myer's friend said. Big hurty pants. Lunchroom cafeteria stuff as fucking usual.

Well she retweeted Svans retarded butt baby, so Im assuming she is going to dig her heels in on this one.

So *once again* we are dealing with 'drama' that could be resolved in 0.05 seconds: "I messed up. Im sorry.", but instead we are going to get "deny deny deny I am always right and HE HATES WOMEN!!!"

Well, I think Justin Griffith has nailed his colours firmly to the mast here: http://freethoughtblogs.com/rockbeyondb ... sychology/

I think he's finally had enough of the baboons - I wouldn't be surprised if he was living on borrowed time at FTB now. His responses to LeftSidePositive - who has clearly gone quite mental over this Becky/EvoPsych thing - seem to be saying, 'Ah fuck it - why should I give a damn what this gomer says...'

That's a pretty funny exchange to read between him and butthurt commenter LeftSidePositive, who wont drop the notion that Rebecca was only criticizing "pop EP". How long until FTB undergoes another ideology purge and gives him the boot? :popcorn:

Every other word out of her mouth is "uh". Punctuated by countless annoying giggles and expectant pauses while she waits for laughs from the audience. Her speaking cadence is atrocious. This is a public speaker? Someone please tell me again why Watson is popular?

Well, if being anti-EP wasn't in the official FtB doctrine, it sure has been penciled in now due to Becky's latest _______gate. Since Justin Griffith apparently hasn't had the stones to leave that malignant site on his own, maybe he's acting out so he gets excommunicated. Being on FtB hasn't helped his military atheist cause out one bit, and the main bloggers all hate him. He HAS to realize all this, and I really wish he'd just man up and tell PZ et. al. to fuck off instead of begging for the boot.

The hysteria, and that is the right word, is appalling.

At the end, the woman pretty much spitting "scum" in that guys face for the outrage of wanting to hear Farrell speak and make up his own mind, is a nightmare. Mostly because she would no doubt scream harassment for the most mild of criticism.
Holy crap. I saw this video earlier on today and by the end my heart was thumping. I can't imagine what I would have done if I had been in that guy's shoes. That was abuse pure and simple. My marriage ended a couple of years ago, and while my ex was not anything like as bad as this she was very good at finding my weak spot and honing in on it. By the end I was pretty depressed. I thought I was over it, but I realize after even this time I am still not good at confrontation like this. You know, if it was a guy I could shrug it off, or least hit the bastard, but there's something more painful for me when it's a woman. I think that's why I got so pissed off with the Horde. It brought up memories for me. Just fucking disgusting.

Okay, enough disclosure :violin:

Not quite I think. 'Pushback' is when someone reacts to your effort with a counter-effort. 'Blowback' is when you face up-wind and pull the trigger on your flamethrower, thus fucking yourself up with no input from the opposition. The FC(n) are now getting pushback. But Beckyboo's talk was blowback.

I've given up on that 'femtheist' word I coined. A crazy youtuber, one who is a separatist calling for mass castration and culling of males (for real), stole the word, added an "i", and started calling herself Femitheist. Totally ruined my word by looking almost identical, but with her own deranged meaning. Check out this incredibly insane type of feminism (Solanas style separatism), beyond even the insanity of the baboons, at her pages:
Blog: http://femitheistreborn.blogspot.com/
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/FemitheistR ... eos?view=0
Holy crap, that is a Poe, surely. The image doesn't gel with the words either. But that's a sexist assumption on my part. It's that southern lilt.
I have a special dislike for separatists (who want to eliminate/greatly reduce males on earth). Krista has tried to trick me into making videos and articles about her, even under other names pretending to be a friend of hers betraying her. She faked her death months ago, then admitted it to me in a pm to try and get popular. She feels that bad publicity is just as good as good publicity. She tried reverse psychology (please don't make any videos about me), straightforward (you can even make a video about it or an article if you want), to insulting me in hopes that I'll make an angry article or video. Instead of making more videos about her or an article, I ignored her attempts, but I let her know that a bunch of us knew who she really is, etc. It freaked her out so much that she even asked an MRA, to ask me, to leave her alone (even though I was initially responding to her contacting me, not the other way around)!

I'm not sure if she is a poe, or if she really does feel that way despite that she hangs around with, and gets preggers by, a real life boyfriend. She's not living as a separatist, but if you look at her blog, she's got plans to castrate/kill/enslave-for-breeding men right now, and all future baby boys. She even goes so far as to say that women who like men too much should be killed too. She's causing harm by spreading the harmful ideology, even if she is a poe herself.
I read some of her blog. She talked about people being "removed". I don't know what kind of batshit crazy she is, but she's definitely in the genus.

I can't stand to listen to her for more than a minute or so. Her talks are a nails-on-chalkboard combination of embarrassingly poor delivery, annoying mannerisms, and self-referential narcissism that's devoid of content.

The FtB wagon-circling is extremely entertaining, though. Interesting that Zvan mentions Sarah Blaffer Hrdy as one of the "approved" researchers. Hrdy was a visiting professor at my undergrad uni, in the Anthropology department (one of my majors). She's well-respected for her work on mother-infant interactions and mate choice in primates, and I can see how her research and writings could be twisted to fit the FtB narrative on the patriarchy. Here's an [url=http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/s ... }interview with Hrdy[/url] by Eric Michael Johnson; as a Houstonian myself, I found her experience growing up there to be very different from mine:
"This was a very segregated and really quite patriarchal society," Hrdy tells me from her home at Citrona Farms near the University of California, Davis, where she held a chair in anthropology until her retirement. "Growing up in Houston was a lot like growing up in South Africa."

When she later moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, first to attend Radcliffe College and then graduate school at Harvard University, Hrdy embarked on a distinguished 40-year career as a primatologist and evolutionary theorist who would come to challenge - and ultimately transcend - an interpretation of Darwinian biology still moored in Victorian attitudes about gender and the role of mothers in natural history. But it would be Hrdy's early years in southeast Texas and her unconventional career path as she tried to balance work and family that would ultimately inspire her ideas and motivate her to persevere.

As the third daughter born into a wealthy family - Hrdy's paternal grandfather, Robert L. Blaffer, was a founder of the Humble Oil Company, which later merged with Standard Oil of New Jersey to become Exxon - her surroundings were permeated by distinctly "Southern" genteel values, especially where women's roles were concerned. But she was also subject to the prevailing attitudes in child psychology of the time, which regarded overt expressions of love and affection as a parental weakness that could spoil a child's character.
Some of the difference in our experiences can be attributed to generational factors (I'm 15 years younger than Hrdy), but I think the socioeconomic contrasts are more important. She's from an extremely wealthy family of Texas oil barons, so of course her childhood environment was quite segregated and sheltered. Likely she attended private schools in Houston, rather than the socioeconomically diverse and integrated public (US definition) schools that I attended in the suburbs and inner city. I was also raised in a solidly middle-class environment, by hippie academician parents who were influenced by the works of Piaget, Montessori, and Harlow = lots of unstructured creative playtime, attachment parenting, and alloparenting. I'm using this mundane anecdotal comparison to once again point out that the FtBers continue to project a very narrow socioeconomic experience on everyone they encounter, and repeatedly fail to consider perspectives and experiences that are substantially different from their own. They engage in a lot of egocentric thinking.

I have noticed, often on FtB but especially in the A+ forum, that the more devout of the cultists just draw a blank when someone relates experiences or viewpoints different than the ones they have, or at least different than the experiences or viewpoints the plussers expect them to have. A lot of these people seem to live in a bubble, and just can't fully wrap their minds around the widely differing ways of seeing things that people have. And since they can't see through the other person's glasses, the frustration sets in, and the lashing out begins. They just can't handle the fact that others don't see things exactly as they do. Maybe that's why only a relatively small subset of the 2,000 signups on the A+ forum have stuck it out there - they all seem to be pretty much the same, and take the A+ "safe space" concept to the extreme. People who are different are banned or otherwise cast out.

From Crommunist's post on Eschaton:
My favourite moment – Saturday night drinkathon

There were a lot of great moments to pick from, but the one that really stands out to me was after the museum gala on Saturday night. Heina and I had a bunch of booze in our hotel rooms that had gone more or less untouched, and only one remaining night to drink it. So we put out the call over Twitter to see who wanted to join us. Evidently Ottawa folks don’t stay up that late, so she and I partied duo-style until there was a knock at the door and PZ Myers joined us. Ania and Alex arrived a bit later and we drank away the wee hours of the night, with many jokes not suitable for the ears of children thrown about with wild abandon.

If she's a stock analyst, that explains *everything*.

Being a part of an industry that tells companies how they should run themselves with ZERO knowledge of fuck all anything, and the prime requisite for downgrading a stock is "THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THE THINGS I MADE UP IN MY HEAD THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE ME" is the perfect, the fucking PERFECT place for her. The only way it would be more perfect is if she worked for Gene "APPLETV ANY DAY NOW" Munster.

There are many types of analysts. I wouldn't necessarily assume that she's a stock analyst.

Damn those patriarchal laws that treat the genders equally!

Reminds me of this jaw-dropping stupidity Barbara Ellen wrote up for another women teacher abusing a student case:
The internet is awash with sites dealing with "older woman teacher-pupil" fantasies. And there lies the rub – should the law be treating male and female pupil victims equally when male and female teenagers are so different?
Yeah I know it's and old article, but it's stuff like this that really made me stop calling myself a feminist completely.

Since Justin Griffith apparently hasn't had the stones to leave that malignant site on his own, maybe he's acting out so he gets excommunicated. Being on FtB hasn't helped his military atheist cause out one bit, and the main bloggers all hate him. He HAS to realize all this, and I really wish he'd just man up and tell PZ et. al. to fuck off instead of begging for the boot.
His recent post on that CFI thread might give some insights? (comment 80)
He seem to be well aware that PZ and some others hate his guts (I'm guessing the 2nd to defend Ladens actions was Svan?), but if Ed Brayton is actually truly supportive of him, that could count for a lot, and inspire quite a bit of loyalty. I hope he won't get burned to badly, he seems like a nice guy, but I think his days are numbered.

Curious though if PZ will be stupid enough to go for the ban right now, that's going to be a spectacularly bad move considering the bottomless pit they've managed to dig for themselves these last days. I'm going to guess that if he doesn't recant after Myers have posted his "real rebuttal" (ie. not just calling Cint anti-Watson but actually presenting some kind of arguments to why EP is just crap), he will be kicked.

Well, that's it, isn't it? In order for them to completely dismiss EP they have to reject epiphenomenalism and deny that the mind is what the brain does.

"The mind" exists not as an emergent property of matter, something that is the body and evolved along with everything else, but some sort of incorporeal entity divested from the brain.

Oh, I know. hence the "if". But it would explain a lot.

I think he's finally had enough of the baboons - I wouldn't be surprised if he was living on borrowed time at FTB now. His responses to LeftSidePositive - who has clearly gone quite mental over this Becky/EvoPsych thing - seem to be saying, 'Ah fuck it - why should I give a damn what this gomer says...'

One addendum to Reap's comment in his bit with franc:

The mainstream doesn't even know who FTB et al fucking *are*. They don't know, nor do they care. I'd wager most ATHEISTS don't give a fuck.

They don't believe in god, and go on about their lives. Really. Any time you have a group claiming to represent a population, you can bet they are a rounding error in terms of total population.

There's "quote mining", and there's "accidentally-revealing insights into a person's real thoughts".

Yeah? Well blame yourself, lardboy. Yourself and the other ghostwits who slaver over Meyers's turn towards radfem, the soulless little prick.

What is with these people and their obsession with other people's sex lives? And why is it they have to build a strawman of a shoddy sex life on top of it?

Do they do that to everyone they encounter whom they don't agree with?

"I don't agree."

"Yeah, well, you mustn't get laid very often."

I think Justin should insist on his full title of Justin Fucking Vacula from these proles.

Or, he could be "The Notorious JFV" if one wished to 'down' with 'the kids'.

I for one am glad that humanity is becoming more accepting and tolerant, and that we will be rid of all those we don't agree with.

Will no one rid me of Justin Fucking Vacula?
