You assert that The Forensic Examiner is not peer-reviewed, but a cursory web search confirms that it is. From their website: "The Forensic Examiner® is the official peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute. This site serves as your source of information for all aspects of the journal, including article archives, contact information, and of course, advertising information." http://www.theforensicexaminer.com If you review any edition of the journal you’ll see their submission guidelines and overall advisory board. First you claimed that the presentation "relies heavily on Frank S. Zepezauer's article" when it was the source for a single quote from Alan Dershowitz, and nothing else. Then you asked for a citation of McDowell’s work, and we provided citation in a peer reviewed journal. Gross' information also lines up with other reports of the study. Here are a few alternate sources that corroborate his report: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EtdMobTttnwC&pg=PA239 http://www.law.northwestern.edu/legalclinic/wrongfulconvictions/exonerations/documents/ilDotsonMcDowell.pdf https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ep4PBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA45 The study itself is also available in an early edition of "Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation: A Multidisciplinary Approach" by Robert Hazelwood. We always take source questions very seriously, and if we’ve gotten a piece of information wrong, we want to know that more than anybody and issue a correction. Given the massive amount of time which went into this piece, for any future questions, I ask that you provide specific sourced information on any corrections and review the originally provided source materials.

Zepezauer's and the FrontPage Magazine articles are the source for this statement: Hardly a heavy reliance on it at all. If you can point out specific contradictions, I'd be glad to take a look at them.

Brilliant!

Only problem is... a circle is defined in a plane. Not that this would stop the emails from being sent... :-)

If you manspread, you are, like, literally the worst! Oh my god, white, cis-gendered males have no spatial awareness!

I watched it earlier this year and it's definitely one of the best films I've ever seen. Recommended!

An oldie but goldie: The game has logical rules, but when the players -- the guys with the guns -- play whac-a-mole with the inputs, it turns into a pretty chaotic environment.

This video goes into the details:

226 views is plenty! Getting even one person to not spank is absolutely worth it. Thank you for sharing!

We have a Truth About Monogamy presentation in the pipeline, and it naturally addresses human sexuality as well.

A great infographic to share with parents and would-be parents! Credits to Multisystemic Therapy: http://info.mstservices.com/spare-the-rod

Here's a report of the study Stef referenced in a few podcasts: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2012/11/26/homework-an-unnecessary-evil-surprising-findings-from-new-research

A British documentary on how boys are raised in boarding schools. The statement 6 minutes in is quite chilling... Well worth a watch!

This is what a white knight looks like!

A video on the topic is coming out shortly! :-)

I may or may not have mistaken an "a" for an "e" somewhere in the title of this thread.

You do realize that the entire FDR conversation is dedicated to solving the problem they have, right? There is no magical button of reason that we can press and make the fundamentalism, the blood and tears go away. Furthermore, It's not force that caused the problem, it's people using force - people whose ideas are still embedded in Israeli culture. Exacerbating the problem by digging up the truth? Talk about shooting the messenger. This is a philosophy show and truth is the main tool of the trade... The information we presented in the video is already known to the Arabs; they wouldn't commemorate Nakba Day if they were unaware of their history. In fact, there are even Arabic novels written about the ethnic cleansing. A cathedral of peace built on falsehood will crumble at the slightest breeze. Assuming we do actually exacerbate the problem by telling the truth, let me translate what you said to a more familiar language: Digging up the truth about your past will exacerbate your relationships with those who did you harm. So what? Fundamentally, the presentation isn't about Israel and Palestine, it's about irrational absolutes always devolving to coercion. We're using the history of the conflict to promote philosophy. The work of philosophers like Kant, Hegel and Leibniz was more of a revival and repackaging of medieval scholasticism than an actual appeal to Greek reason. Indeed, the tyrannical Rabbis studied them with great interest. The religious upbringing of Moses Hess lead him to Hegel for a reason. Whose sentiment do you think he echoed when he said the following: But let's assume Germany was the birthplace of many Enlightenment thinkers. Does that mean their ideas permeated German society? Religious groups like the Lutherans promoted the creation of a public school system with the idea to uproot any secular thoughts from the minds of children. They ultimately got their wish. If you look into the history of the Prussian school system you'll find the roots of both German religiosity and militarism. There's a reason why Norman Finkelstein compared present day Israel to Germany under Bismarck through Hitler.
