naive views

Revisado: 04-12-25

there are good parts, I enjoyed the history of SAT part. but the overall gist is that meritocracy is entirely random and that what makes an elite degree special is what they learn there. no consideration of the effect of their strong selection. the students make Harvard, not the other way around. also completely ignores the huge data showing that IQ is correlated with socio economic class and that it isquite heritable. so finding that higher socioeconomic classes score higher in SAT test is not entirely due to "privilege". in fact, studies if test prep show it makes little difference, 20-30 points or so. so good points, but fails to add nuance to the observed correlations.

Gender ideology intrusion in law.

Revisado: 06-08-22

this is a must read book to understand the political implications of gender ideology. my only criticism is that I feel parts of the discussion about objectification of women were a little bit exaggerated. Very different than other gender ideology critical books like Debrah Soh and Abigail Shrier.

entertaining

Revisado: 06-04-22

great to listen, good stories. my only complain is that some psychology studies have been debunked and in the end he fails to consider heritability and genetics in the explanation.

understand the obsession with gender and pronouns in the youth of today. the glorification of being something else that leads many to a misidentification of their own problems.

group selection kills the book

Revisado: 06-04-20

the first part of the book about the psychology of right and left is great. then the author makes the unfortunate decision to try to push group selection discredited ideas to explain human behavior. it is not necessary and in fact impossible to explain adaptation in humans. human groups are not genetically closed, we have plenty migration. groups that conquer other groups always absorb individuals of the conquered group. it simply does not work as a selection mechanism. furthermore our "Hive bahavior" can be easily explained by reciprocal altruism and punishment... the last bit on religion was very hard to listen. Clearly it is written by a person that is not aware of the horrors of South American voodoo religions as well as fervent Islam. new atheists are right on this one.

verbose

Revisado: 01-27-19

some good points. too verbose. I could have been spared from the naturalistic fallacies and evolution lessons. as a biologist I can say those abound. should stick to economics.
