Mental illness of our times!

Yes I am - the type who have tirelessly sought to purged out all traces of scientific rigour from social psychology since the 1970s. Especially the ones who utter the words 'critical perspective'. This has infected social psychology, the virus has since spread into other branches of psychology and social work, and is now infecting even business and economics.
'Critical Perspective' is a brand, and amounts to a euphemism for an insidious extreme left wing feminist collectivism which seeks to wipe out all remaining traces of individual glory. Its basic message is "Stop! Hold back! What you're doing might offend someone, somewhere."
Coming to a university near you! :(

To that I feel moved to submit more subjective praise to perhaps the most successful [predator ever!--

There is a strong contingent of 'thinkers', heavily represented in university faculty staff, who are trying to massively down-scale the importance society places on 'facts', and up-scale the importance placed on 'perceptions'.

They use the word 'science' in their course titles, but the courses end up being nothing like science. No controlled conditions. No reproducibility. No standardised measurement. Not a p-value in sight.

I confronted one of these professors, asking her "well, if this course is science, then I guess so is finger-painting, or dance, or knitting". To my astonishment, she said "yes, that would be true".

What part of "facts" are people having such a bloody big problem with?

I am neither a biologist nor a doctor. I do not know
about people's being born into the wrong sex. The
idea is very bizarre, but freaks do exist; I saw a
girl once who had no nose,and looked as if she
had been born that way. But I think that even if
this does occur, and you need to have a sex-
change operation, until such operation occurs,
you are obligated to stick with the sex that your
body has, as far as regards public toilets, etc.,
and should not expect to go into the other sex's
bathroom until the operation has been done.

Besides Barney, Gwangi was kinda purple.; Gwangi had been called both a T-Rex (due to general appearance) and an allosaur (due to 3 talons on each hand instead of 2) but that tail-dragger is neither.

But to answer your question, not really . . .

In Hollywood, allosaurs are the Rodney Dangerfield of dinosaur species. We get no respect.

Well, we did have a very popular purple dinosaur a few years back... can't you claim to be Black?

" trapped in the body of a pathological liar."
That is clever, DrZ.

10 plus 5 equals 14. Close enough.

No, that stupid franchise will not put an allosaur in anything, though my species were the top predators of Jurassic North America.
I've also read in three or four places that paleontologists have found more allosaur bones than any other theropod carnosaur.
So where is my due respect?
It ain't fair! It ain't fair!
Remember the mama T-Rex that rampaged through San Diego in Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World?
Heck the original silent The Lost World had an allosaur in it, but then the movie makers had the gall to call it a pest. That's a fact. I have the DVD.
I'd go eat Hollywood, but know I would perish by trying to cross the great desert even before the Rockies could challenge my majestic greatness.

Will you be in Jurassic World? ($500 million world wide opening weekend!!!!!!!!!!)

It used to be said, "You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts." The Subjectivist maintains that facts are dependent on one's view of reality, i.e., the facts are what I perceive them to be, and there are no absolutes (except when I declare them to be so, as in climate change, where the science is settled). It's the ultimate in narcissism.

We can thank Ms Dolezal for creating a new form of trans-whatever, the transracial person, a black woman trapped in a white body. I suppose we could categorize Hillary Clinton as a transethical person, an honest person trapped in the body of a pathological liar.

Orwell nailed it... he was just a little early. Say it enough times, regardless of the evidence... and it is your new reality (fact based solely on overpowering desire for it to be so)!

Great picture of Hilary. In the subjectivist world people cannot communicate with each other as their words do not have objective meaning. Two people can only communicate if there is an objective outside world. Communication depends on the word I use having the same meaning to the person I send it to. Experience has shown it simplifies a business transaction and is the necessary basis of honesty.

Hi, I am David the Dinosaur.

I'll second that! Good find!

Good find. Txs Rob.
