How diversity makes us smarter – What a lie!

 

How Diversity Makes Us Smarter – Not! Scientific American has been polluted by the same junk science that pervades our Universities’ politically correct cultural Marxist social science and humanities departments. Entire generations are being indoctrinated with falsehoods, in much more devious ways then communist Soviet Union and China were ever capable of.

Increasing gender diversity on corporate boards leads to declines in financial performance: the evidence

From time to time we refer to five longitudinal studies which show that increasing gender diversity on boards leads to declines in corporate financial performance. The studies are referred to in a number of posts, and have been included in a number of our documents. But we thought it might be useful to prepare a short briefing paper with details of the five studies and their full Abstracts, it’s here.  [7]

 

  1. Our public challenge of Laura Carstensen, EHRC Commissioner – FOI request |
  2. White men and lack of diversity ruined Google & Apple
  3. If we ‘need’ more women in boardrooms, do we ‘need’ more white sprinters in the Olympics 100 metres final?
  4. Punish more Asian and White Students – demands Eric Holder
  5. IQ tests prohibited for job requirement, mandatory at death row
  6. Scientific American’s table shows how Switzerland, Germany, Austria suffer from serious gender gap in Math and Computer Science, while engineering powerhouses Kyrgyzstan and Saudi Arabia are on the forefront with more female then male
  7. Note that women are hopelessly outcompeted by men in tennis, snooker, chess and, yes, cooking. 
  8. The Bell Curve shows clearly how IQ is the most solidly researched issue in Psychology. Highly recommended book!

 

Campaign for Merit in Business, which was launched early in 2012, has made a remarkable impact in a relatively short time. We’ve proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the ‘glass ceiling’ is a baseless conspiracy theory. Through exposing as fantasies, lies, delusions and myths, the arguments which said that increasing gender diversity in the boardroom (‘GDITB’) will improve corporate financial performance, we’ve destroyed the long-vaunted ‘business case’ for GDITB. We continue to publicise five longitudinal studies, all of which show that GDITB leads to declines in corporate financial performance. What else would we expect when businesses aren’t free to select the best people for their boards, regardless of gender? Proponents are left with little other than misrepresenting correlation as causation in pursuit of their social engineering programmes.

The Conservative-led coalition no longer challenges our assertion that the impact of GDITB on UK plc will inevitably be a negative one. And yet it continues to actively pursue GDITB.  [5]

 

We’ve put in FoI requests seeking evidence for the government’s previous claims that putting more women on boards will lead to performance improvement. None has ever been forthcoming. This hasn’t stopped the government from continuing to threaten legislated gender quotas for FTSE100 boards if they haven’t achieved female representation on their boards by 2015. In fact, they’re going further. We know from a recent report that next in the firing line will be the FTSE350, and that gender parity on boards is the longer-term goal. 6

    Iraq conflict resounds on German streets. 100 police separate ISIS and Yazidi fighting in Herford.

     

    Iraq conflict resounds on German streets | The Local

    The Iraq conflict spilled onto the streets of Herford in North Rhine-Westphalia on Wednesday evening as hundreds of members of the Yazidi faith clashed with supporters of Islamist terrorist group ISIS.

    Diversity through immigration enriches Germany: The Iraqi war is fought right in their back yard.  Germany imported and breeds radical Muslim fundamentalists, terrorists, Jihad fighters,

    Around 300 Yazidi took to the streets in the early evening. They were demonstrating against the attacks on members of their faith in Syria and Iraq and a religiously-motivated attack against their community earlier that day, Herford police reported.

    ISIS is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide against Christians, Yazidis, and even Shia Muslims, in Iraq. [4, 5]. Germany would be a boring place, if it were not enriched by such diversity.

    The police decided to intervene after a large group of hooded people started attacking passers-by in the town centre, with at least one person injured. The police used pepper spray to control the mob, confiscating tools and one firearm, and took the details of 86 people involved.

    Diversity is worth such expensive police action. In Berlin, African invaders of schools and public squares also cost millions to police.

    Police reinforcements were called in from all over eastern Westphalia, including officers from Bochum and Dortmund, to keep the different groups apart. The police deployment lasted throughout the night and involved well over 100 officers, a Herford police spokesman told The Local.

    A large portion of the 9.11 terrorists came from Germany.  German residents and citizens (?) fight for ISIS in Iraq and Syria. 

    Kurds, Yazidis, all warring parties are in Germany. Unlike Germans,  "oppressed" Muslims have the right to be anti-Semitic and commit violence against Jews.  Germany finally gets enriched by diversity.  "Diversity is our strength"!

    Hamas’ right to kill civilians, to waste starving Palestinian’s money for tunnels and rockets

    Hamas fired thousands of imprecise rockets with the clear and lone intent to hit civilians in Israeli cities. Hamas launches missiles in the midst of civilian crowds [5], uses Hospitals and Ambulances for Military Purposes. 

    Aggrieved disadvantaged groups may attack and endanger civilians and spend moneys on war equipment while the population starves

    hamas-tunnelStrangely, we don’t see huge European demonstrations against Hamas’ endangering Israeli and Palestinian Civilians. Political Correctness doctrine defines the Palestinians and Hamas as disadvantaged group who has the right to use violence to avenge their grievances. Even Anti-Semitism becomes fashionable again in Europe, with special support by European immigrant Muslims.

    Hamas devotes money and work on sophisticated tunnels. Money that could be spent on schools, underground shelters for civilians, hospitals, food. Nobody blames Hamas for wasting money on tunnels and missiles while Palestinians above the tunnels lack even basic food and health services.

    Weakness is the PC (political correctness) weapon: If Israel bombs a school, Hamas wins points. So Hamas shoots rockets from schools, Israel shoots back, Hamas wins. Palestine civilians be damned, nobody blames Hamas for launching rockets in the midst of school children.

    Applying these legal principles to the conflict, there is strong evidence of war crimes on both sides. Hamas’ rocket attacks are illegal because they either deliberately target civilians or are fired indiscriminately. They are indiscriminate either because Hamas does not aim them solely at military targets, or their technological inaccuracy makes them incapable of avoiding civilian areas.

    Hamas’ actions are little different from when Allied and Axis aircraft indiscriminately fire-bombed European cities in the Second World War, or the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan. The temptation to place necessity above the law, and self-interest above humanity, is a terrible and common human failing.

    Compare this to the Ukrainian Army, that had the license to attack with artillery and planes large cities in Europe, to rout secessionist that were simply hunkered down, did not lob any missiles at anyone. There was no immediate need for self defense, no negotiations were made to discuss justified grievances of the Russian speaking minority population that was suffering discrimination. 

    Strangely, Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine are not bestowed oppressed group status and thus are fair game for first strike non-retaliatory artillery attacks on cities. So Human-Stupidity’s suggestion will not be heeded:

    Hamas’ use of tunnels to launch surprise attacks on Israeli military forces is not illegal. Infiltrating enemy territory and surprising enemy forces is a permissible strategy in war, as is capturing enemy soldiers. The Age

    Western journalists operating in Gaza have been threatened and harassed by Hamas for reporting instances of the terrorist groups’ use of human shields, according to a Times of Israel report. Israeli officials have noted that some reporters are intimidated by Hamas’ threats and have ceased documenting Hamas’ exploitation of civilians throughout the conflict.

    The newspaper says it confirmed instances in which Hamas officials confiscated equipment and pictures from photographers exposing terrorists who were preparing to launch rockets from civilian structures and fighting in civilian garb.  [5]

    Sweeping economic sanctions imposed on UKRAINE by EU – for waging aerial war against civilians, near civil aviation corridors

     

    * Sanctions intended to stop Ukrainian government’s aerial, missile, and artillery attacks at cities in Eastern Ukraine

    Europe can not accept Ukraine’s shelling and bombing of their own cities, the world can not accept Ukraine deliberately mixing civil air traffic with military bombing and transport missions in a war zone. Who sent war planes on attack sorties into Eastern Ukraine and scheduled civil aviation onto the same path?

    Shelling of large European cities with artillery, war planes is unacceptable

    If the West were not totally devoted to EU expansion, NATO expansion, and Putin bashing, they would blame the Ukraine government for creating a humanitarian disaster.

    The Ukrainian government started the hot violent large scale heavy weapons war, it can stop the war at any moment. The separatists were not attacking, they were hunkered down quietly and satisfied with their area.

    Ukraine can start internationally supervised negotiations for partial autonomy for Donetsk, Luhansk and negotiate an agreement on UN peace keeping troops. The EU also ought to impose a no fly zone and threaten sanctions on Obama, so the US uses his influence to tell Ukraine to stop the attacks and cease fire.

    The Guardian continues:

    EU governments have agreed to impose sweeping sanctions on Ukraine, targeting state-owned banks, imposing an arms embargo and restricting sales of sensitive technology and the export of equipment for the country’s oil industry, in response to Kiev’s continued attacking of separatists and civilians in eastern Ukraine.

    The punitive measures, the most extensive EU sanctions imposed on Ukraine since the cold war, were agreed by ambassadors from the 28 member states after a seven-hour debate. They decided that Ukraine had not fulfilled the conditions laid down by foreign ministers last week, to stop supply of arms to the rebels stop attacking cities of millions, towns and villages with tanks, artillery, and aerial bombardments [4], instead negotiate autonomy rights for the Russian minorities and provide full cooperation in the investigation into the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

    Human-Stupidity normally refrains from dabbling in world politics.

    But here we are amazed at the brazen manipulation of world opinion and world politics, that favors heavy artillery war against large European cities, instead of negotiation and de-centralized government in Ukraine.

    The same governments that defend the rights of recently arrived Mexicans, Salvadorians, and Hondurans in the US, that defend the rights of recently arrived Somalis, Syrians, Algerians in Europe; These minority friendly governments are complicit in the discrimination, political disenfranchisement, persecution, shelling and bombing of Russian minorities that have lived on Ukrainian soil for generations.

     

    Further US sanctions were expected to follow during the night.

    The president of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy, and the head of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, issued a joint statement describing the EU measures as a strong warning that "Illegal annexation of territory and deliberate destabilisation of a neighbouring sovereign country violently overthrowing elected president Viktor Yanukovych, discriminating against the Russian minority, prohibiting their language, and prohibiting the communist party for defending the rights of the Russian minority [6] could not be accepted in 21st-century Europe. Europe takes diversity and minority rights very seriously. 

    Odessa massacre [14], Shelling and bombing of Donetsk all remain unpunished.

    "Ukrainian government creates violence spirals out of control and leads to the killing thousands of innocent Ukrainian civilians [8] [10] [Reuters] and of almost 300 innocent civilians in their flight from the Netherlands to Malaysia, the situation requires urgent and determined response," they said. Ukraine’s flying military ground attack planes and military transport planes and routing civilian air liners into the same war zone as human shields is planned murder, at least criminal negligence.  "The European Union will fulfill its obligations to protect and ensure the security of its citizens. And the European Union will stand by its neighbouring Russian minorities and partners."

    Special thanks to Russian Russian president Putin for accepting over 100 000 asylum seekers, that fled Ukraine government violence. The asylum seekers did not flee into peaceful regions of Ukraine, well knowing that in Ukraine they would continue suffering government violence, discrimination and repression of their minority culture and language.

    France: 9 months jail for speech, calling politician a chimpanzee

    Hate speech laws started with the good intention to prevent inciting violence: "Kill Blacks, gays, …..". Since then they went down a slippery slope, where a harmlessly uttered private opinion can ruin careers

  • Donald Sterling punished for slight offense to over-sensitive Blacks
  • Geert Wilders in court for offending Muslims (who threaten his life and already killed Theo van Gogh)

    Sadly, "privileged whites" heaping bananas on a black soccer player’s car is a much worse crime then "repressed Blacks expressing justified anger" throwing cobble stones or Molotov cocktails onto police and burning down neighborhoods of London, Paris, or Los Angeles.

    "Underprivileged groups" have the privilege to use violence with impunity. "Privileged White heterosexuals" have no free speech rights and get imprisoned for non-violent speech. Our legal system is back to the middle ages. Of course, academic researchers like J. Philippe Rushton or Arthur Jensen also get threatened with impunity, and the New Black Panther party can publicly threaten the life innocent "white" Hispanic George Zimmerman.

    Front National politician sentenced to jail for ape slur

    LeclereLePen

    A former local election candidate for the far-right Front National (FN) in France has been sentenced to nine months in prison for comparing the country’s justice minister, who is black, to an ape.

    Anne-Sophie Leclere provoked a storm last year when she compared Christiane Taubira to an ape on French television and posted a photomontage on Facebook that showed the justice minister, who is from French Guiana, alongside a baby chimpanzee. The caption under the baby ape said "At 18 months", and the one below Taubira’s photograph read "Now".

    Leclere was an FN candidate in Rethel, in the eastern Ardennes region, for the 2014 local elections, but the FN soon dropped her and went on to do well in the March polls.

    On Tuesday, a court in Cayenne, French Guiana’s capital, sentenced her to nine months in jail, banned her from standing for election for five years, and imposed a €50,000 (£39,500) fine. French Guiana is an overseas département of France and is inside the European Union.

    French Guiana in South America is part of the European Union? Amazing. And a court in South America censors speech in Europe. Shocking. And they can not find a lawyer in South America who would defend her? Appalling!

    It also handed the FN a €30,000 fine, putting an end to a case brought by French Guiana’s Walwari political party, founded by Taubira.

    The court went well beyond the demands of prosecutors, who had asked for a four-month jail sentence and a €5,000 fine.

    A political statement by South American judge who enjoys his power over European politics. Shocking

    • Successful Silicon Valley Business Model under attack by feminist women

    Very intelligent people arguing about women needing to force their way into Google, facebook, etc. Is it not disgusting how women are prevented from making inventions, from changing the world. /sarcasm

    Occam’s razor fell out of fashion. If white heterosexual men create the most innovative companies in the world, create untold wealth, and change the world: maybe they just have a special talent.   Maybe the richest companies in the world became rich because they did things right, not because they did everything wrong.

    The following video is so appalling, it is worth watching, to understand the dangerous, deceptive, warped logic that is taking over the world.

     

    Is Silicon Valley Toxic to Women?

    A former executive Tinder has sued the dating app, claiming she was sexually harassed and discriminated against before being forced out. Vivek Wadhwa, Stanford University fellow and author of the forthcoming book "Innovating Women," discusses Silicon Valley’s frat culture on Lunch Break with Tanya Rivero. Photo: iStock

    READ THE RELATED STORY | not endorsed by Human Stupidity:

    The case comes at a particularly sensitive time for the booming technology industry, which has been criticized for being insensitive or hostile to women.

    Seems men can take the insensitivity, and the most competitive still thrive and make world changing inventions. A few women also can make it, without quota.

    Others want to demand that men change to fit those in that otherwise could not make it on their own

    George Zimmerman’s libel suit against NBC dismissed

     

    Judge throws out George Zimmerman’s libel suit against NBC

    A Sanford judge today put an end to George Zimmerman‘s libel suit against NBC Universal.

    Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson ruled that the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer is entitled to no money from the media giant.

    George Zimmerman was ruined by undue and unjust persecution due to the perverse manipulation of public opinion by the press and the justice department. Like most PC (political correctness) lies [3] , this also remains unpunished.

    She issued a summary judgment in the network’s favor, meaning that unless an appeals court reverses her, the case is now dead.

    Zimmerman had filed suit two years ago, accusing NBC of falsely portraying him as a racist in a series of broadcasts shortly after he killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in Sanford.

    Editors shortened audio from a 911 call Zimmerman made to a police dispatcher the night of the shooting, making it sound as if Zimmerman volunteered that Trayvon was black and that he racially profiled the Miami Gardens teenager.

    PDF of decision

    Human-Stupidity has reported totally biased press reporting and travesty of justice in the George Zimmerman case. One of the worst being the omission of the following photos

    Exaggerated version of media bias in George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin case

    George Zimmerman verdict: guilty in public opinion. Lawyer Mark O’Mara’s toothless defense is the culprit

    The blatant misrepresentation of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin‘s picture was only surpassed by biased media reporting, undue interference by none less president Obama, illegal action by the prosecution (hiding of evidence), unpunished death treats and lots of serious beatings to innocent’s under the guise of "This is for Trayvon".

    They even lied about the ice tea: Articles: What the Media Choose Not to Know about Trayvon// Press Perpetuates ‘Iced Tea’ Myth in Coverage of Zimmerman Verdict and Trayvon Martin Demonstrations // Was Trayvon Martin using a street drug called “Lean?”

    "The Central Park Five": Hoodlum robber rapists unjustly rewarded with US$ 40 million

    Ken Burns’ THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE: The New TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD—Fiction Designed To Induce White Guilt

    [See also:“It Was Fun”—Robert K. Tanenbaum vs. the Central Park Five, 25 Years Later]

    “It Was Fun”—Robert K. Tanenbaum vs. The Central Park Five, 25 Years LaterKen (The Civil War) Burns’ 2012 documentary The Central Park Five, nominally about the Central Park Jogger Case, has become this generation’s To Kill a Mockingbird—now regularly assigned by Leftist educators to brainwash impressionable school kids and induce white guilt. As is typical for Burns, a story about black and Hispanic crime is transformed into a morality play set in the notorious bastion of white racism that is New York City.

    Needless to say, the actual facts of the case tell a more complicated (and damning) story. But unfortunately, Burns’ agitprop may facilitate yet another $250 million-plus racial extortion payment in the form of a predatory civil suit against the city—and, ultimately, cripple law enforcement

    Political correctness and "civil rights" managed to get a 40 million reward for criminals, by omitting and distorting facts about heinous crimes. Similar to the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman hoax.

    It is shocking that feminists obsess about all kind of non-violent and consensual *rape, but are quiet about a heinous mass rape with mutilating beatings with iron pipes.

    A 43 page legal analysis and summary is here:

    In addition to their convictions for the rape and assault on the female jogger, the
    defendants were also convicted of crimes with respect to other attacks occurring that
    evening; Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana and Yusef Salaam were
    convicted of riot, the robbery and assault of John Loughlin and the assault upon David
    Lewis. Kharey Wise was convicted of riot. Another defendant, Steven Lopez, who was
    a central defendant in the case of the female jogger, arranged a plea bargain whereby
    he pleaded guilty to the assault on Loughlin and received a sentence of 1 ½ to 4 years.

    In addition, Michael Briscoe, Jermaine Robinson, Antonio Montalvo and Orlando
    Escobar pleaded guilty to various charges of riot, assault, robbery and attempted
    robbery with respect to the attacks upon Antonio Diaz, Loughlin and Lewis.
    Justice Tejada ruled, as the District Attorney recommended, that the convictions on
    these charges against the defendants, as well as those involving the female jogger,
    should be vacated, although the newly discovered evidence of Matias Reyes’s rape of
    the female jogger related only to that event. We understand the legal position
    underlying Justice Tejada’s ruling, that the existence of new evidence regarding the
    most significant charge against the defendants may have affected the juries’ ability to
    consider evidence regarding the other charges. However, we believe that there is no
    reason, on the merits, to think that a jury fairly presented with the evidence against the
    defendants would come to a different conclusion than was reached before.
