Antibiotics show free market failure

One major difference between Steven Pinker and John Lott is that Pinker is widely (almost universally) admired by his academic peers, who quote his work. John Lott's work on guns, though, is roundly condemned by most of his academic peers who are expert in that field. If it were not for the support of the NRA and the wealthy manufacturers and sellers of guns, Lott would not get past stage one.

Pinker is a scientist. He is Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and he is respected by his scientific peers world wide. As a scientist, his research is dedicated to finding hard data. His writings are, as Jim pointed out, back by extensive bibliographies, and are far from 'made up'.

He is a hard left-wing anti gun zealot working for a hard left-wing Marxist Progressive run university notorious for harboring biased anti-gun zealots. He goes into his "research" with a predetermined conclusion he's determined to support by cherry picking whatever is useful to him and ignoring whatever is not.

As for you, you again confuse correlation with causation and ignore any data which is contrary to your predetermined conclusion.

Show me your academic qualifications and published research papers, so that we can judge the worth of your opinion vs a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, plus the vast array of academics whose published and peer-reviewed papers that are his sources.

Seth's got a diploma from the Libbo School of Hard (Easy) Knocks!

You lie.

[Seth]

So basically, your opinion of Pinker can thus be roundly ignored.

Quelle surprise!

Just like your opinion on guns, or anything else.

Please don't call Seth a liar, that is an personal attack, the correct term is he sees the truth in a way that is different to the rest of the human race

[pErvinalia]

I didn't call him a liar. I said he lies. Some people who lie are idiots of a spectacular magnitude. That wasn't related to Seth. It was an incidental comment that just popped into my head randomly at that point.

Doesn't lying require intent, if you say something you honestly believe to be true are you lying.

I don't know. Is it like being a Marxist even when one doesn't consider oneself one?

I'm sure they said at Marxist club don't talk about Marxist club.

Shit

[pErvinalia]

You lie, you lying Marxist!

[MrJonno]

Traitor to Dialectical materialism, I bet you don't even believe in The law of the negation of the negation!

WWAD? (What Would Alinsky Do?)...

[MrJonno]

His wiki page is interesting, he definitely was not a Marxist and least according to the page looked like a pretty cool guy

[piscator]

Saul Alinsky...sounds like a Jew...Wasn't Marx a Jew? QED
