Science myth and fact, and more

• From Cracked: Six science myths.
• From Roissy: Flirting (game) > looks.
• From LRC:
  • Fred Reed’s case for single-sex schooling. Good points but can you blame feminism, not women generally? Also, you don’t want homosexuality as in English boarding schools.
  • Not pacifist but anti-war. Laurence Vance and I agree. He often goes too far with his anti-military kick but here he’s good, saying seriously what this says with snark.
• From Dusk in Autumn:
  • Cohort effects in homelessness: Lifelong higher risk for those born near beginning of crime wave.
  • Bygone left-wing populism in rock music.
• From RR: American conservative Christians aren’t paranoid. The siege is real.
