“It’s truly a shame that, as a scientific discipline, evolutionary psychology isn’t mandatory reading as part of university curriculum. It would undoubtedly help men and women navigate not just dating and sex, but understanding their own attitudes and behavior, but understanding their own attitudes and behavior, to have more fulfilling sex, and win the ultimate prize of falling in love.”
Debra Soh, The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society

“Thinking is a momentary dismissal of irrelevancies.”
R. Buckminster Fuller, Utopia or Oblivion: The Prospects for Humanity

Bari Weiss
“Europe is very good at building memorials for dead Jews. It is still learning how to protect the living ones. Vigils honor the dead, but they don't do much for the living. Solidarity does.”
Bari Weiss, How to Fight Anti-Semitism

“Along with ideological indoctrination, a vital factor touched upon but not fully explored in Milgram’s experiments was conformity to the group. The battalion had orders to kill Jews, but each individual did not. Yet 80 to 90 percent of the men proceeded to kill, though almost all of them—at least initially—were horrified and disgusted by what they were doing. To break ranks and step out, to adopt overtly nonconformist behavior, was simply beyond most of the men. It was easier for them to shoot.”
Christopher R. Browning, Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Robert Plomin
“Genetics, not lack of willpower, is the major reason why people differ in BMI. Success and failure, credit and blame, in overcoming problems should be calibrated relative to genetic strengths and weaknesses.”
Robert Plomin, Blueprint: How DNA Makes Us Who We Are
