1	Satirical ancient greek play actually warned about the dangers of feminism and communism Shakespeare's characters are their language. That you can't seem to grasp as much disqualifies you from even having this conversation, let alone teaching the material. That you're actually allowed to perturbs me more than I can say. (By the by, not that it matters, really, but while you are "being invited to speak at colleges" I am actually teaching Shakespeare in them.)	/r/TheRedPill	10/03/15 04:24 AM
5	Satirical ancient greek play actually warned about the dangers of feminism and communism I've spent the last thirty years of my life studying Shakespeare Translation: I'm ~30 years old and maybe was made to read Romeo and Juliet and maybe Macbeth once in high school, maybe. How do I know this? Because anyone who has spent even the most fleeting moment actually reading any of Shakespeare's plays would be completely incapable of straight-facedly claiming that Shakespeare's female characters are "weak willed, weak minded, etc." Go re-read Romeo and Juliet. Seriously. Compare Juliet's l…	/r/TheRedPill	09/03/15 06:47 AM
-6	Satirical ancient greek play actually warned about the dangers of feminism and communism Hm. You might take a look at Kate's final speech and consider it contextually. Especially these lines: My mind hath been as big as one of yours, My heart as great, my reason haply more, To bandy word for word and frown for frown; But now I see our lances are but straws, Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare, That seeming to be most which we indeed least are. Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot, And place your hands below your husband's foot: In token of which duty, if he please,…	/r/TheRedPill	09/03/15 12:19 AM

1	Women just can't control themselves. Bro, I study evolutionary biology, I know what I'm talking about. Gould is interesting, but he's a fucking paleontologist, and he has publicly stated that, if there's any publication he's regretted, it's the work in "The Panda's Thumb." Mitochondria are an example of an "add-on" that "regulate" earlier cell functions--and actually make more complex organisms possible. Ditto, say, the epigenome. But we're talking about complex STRUCTURAL features, and the neo-cortex, though it appears within the …	/r/TheRedPill	10/01/15 07:41 AM
2	Women just can't control themselves. The neocortex evolved later, so in the connection between the two, it would be neocortical functions - thought and language - controlling the earlier functions (emotion). This just doesn't follow. Why would a later evolutionary feature "control" one developed earlier? How would you even begin to account for this? This would be like saying your five toes control the metatarsals within your foot, and we know this because toe structures evolved after more primitive foot structures. It's also at odd…	/r/TheRedPill	08/01/15 04:32 AM
1	Women just can't control themselves. The neo-cortex spans both hemispheres of the brain, so greater inter-connectivity between hemispheres would also mean greater connectivity within the whole neo-cortex. Assuming greater connectivity reflects greater processing ability, and also assuming the neo-cortex controls most "higher" thought processing, such as abstract thinking, this would seem to suggest women actually have the advantage here. Also, what is the limbic system? Well, it "supports a variety of functions including adrenaline…	/r/TheRedPill	08/01/15 04:24 AM
