  check the news.

  there was a terrorist attack in brussells, couple of bombs detonated in the brussell airport and the metro.. 36 dead so far.. i send my sincerest condolences to the people of belgium.. the motive seems to be revenge for the capture of the last surviving member of the paris terrorist attacks..

  I don't get why they can go to Syria and fight for Morons International and not get charged with treason when they get home; it should be an instant ticket to 10 years in the shade and a potential extradition to Iraq or Kurdistan for additional charges.

  Waves in Gravity detected, another lucky hit?

  gravity waves sound like a special kind of sound, so is this another lucky hit in the otherwise discredited bible?

  gen i: 3,6,9,"said" like in acoustics?

  kaik: actually i have not insulted you but just pointed out that you either misunderstood or misremember whatever you might have read in 2006. If you consider that trolling so be it and for my sake you are free to believe gravity waves were observed in 2006; i just find it facinating you seem to assume you remember correctly and all other scientists have forgotten thats all.

  Kaik: i am not arguing, i am just puzzled that you seems to believe gravity waves were first observed ten years ago and nobody paid any attention, including the only people working on experiments that could potentially observe gravity waves.

  kaik: I remember that one of my class in undergrad, we were discussing the observation of the gravity wave, which suppose to happen for the first time ever. That was around 2006. I know it, because I still have a post on the internet from that year.

  There seems to be two options:

  • Gravity waves were directly observed ca. 2006 but everyone forgot OR
  • you remember wrong (you might be remembering observations of radio emisions from pulsars which match what can be expected if gravity waves did exist)

  kaik:

  What I remember, the gravity moves in waves were discovered years ago. I remember we had discussed when I did my undergrad on this specific topic that the gravity waves moves with the speed of light. This was ten years ago or so.

  Einstein postulated gravity waves about 100 years ago as a consequence of general relativity, however they were certainly not discovered 10 years ago in the sense of being observed.

  as you may know, this makes me very happy.

  ban on religious circumcision.

  relate to a ban in all probability will not stop the millennium old core tradition in many parts of islam and especially judaism.

  • The article discuss what some people would do if circumcision was banned
  • circumcision is not banned in Denmark and likely will not be for a long time

  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

  The 'joike' was a passive-aggressive slur, evidenced by the disclaimer, as I explained.

  Well, I am sorry but my detection for "passive-aggressive slur" is simply not so fine tuned I can detect it based on two words; If I should make such a slur against a person I would need more evidence.

  The joke was made at a lunch and appears to be an off the cuff remark. According to one female audience member the talk was warm and funny, you can hear the recording if you wish.
  

  I don't see Twitter as a valid form of journalistic communication.

  I agree, yet he was fired entirely for an (provable) inaccurate account made on twitter.

  Academia is full of hypocrisy and politics - as I said, he may be talking out of turn far too much, or has a fat complaint file back at the University.

  It also may be the case that he eats babies and the university knows all about it.

  Here is one woman relating her experience working under him:

  Oops. This:

  “Now seriously,

  This demonstrates a specific technique of being critical and deprecating, then softening the blow with a disclaimer. It's called patronization. (and yes, that is the tone - slightly superior, and passive-aggressive, but I ddn't really mean it .. hahaha)

  We can agree that the joke isn't very good. But reading the interview, do you get the impression that he does not think women should be allowed in the laboratory? He explicitly says the opposite.

  Do you think the way the story was reported on twitter is accurate? (this, btw, was the basis on which he was fired while he was still in his plane)

  Do you think he should have been fired?

  Regarding the 'where there is smoke there is fire' argument, the "smoke" is ONLY an inaccurate retelling of the event (read the tweet by StLouis). What I do not think has happened afterwards is that former student and colleagues have not come out and said good riddance of that old sexist pig
