• Pat Califia, renowned trans essayist on LGBT matter: "any child old enough to decide whether or not she or he wants to eat spinach, play with trucks or wear shoes is old enough to decide whether or not she or he wants to run around naked in the sun, masturbate sit in somebody's lap or engage in sexual activity."

• Guy Hocquenghem, French gay rights activist, "queer theorist" and novelist, another signer of the age of consent abolishing manifesto. His own words: "This notion of consent is a trap, in any case. What is sure is that the legal form of an intersexual consent is nonsense. No one signs a contract before making love... When we say that children are 'consenting' in these cases, all we intend to say is this: in any case, there was no violence, or organized manipulation in order to wrench out of them affective or erotic relations."

• Camille Paglia, author of Sexual Personae and prominent LGBT historian. A militant lesbian feminist, allegedly the first openly lesbian woman at Yale. Supporter of NAMBLA and "erotic fondling with any age.". Her own words: “These days, especially in America, boy-love is not only scandalous and criminal, but somehow in bad taste. On the evening news, one sees handcuffed teachers, priests and Boy Scout leaders hustled into police vans. Therapists call them maladjusted, emotionally immature. But beauty has its own laws, inconsistent with Christian morality. As a woman, I feel free to protest that men today are pilloried for something that was rational and honourable in Greece at the height of its civilization”

• John D. Stamford, founding father of the LGBT press with his first of it's kind massively successful magazine Spartacus International Gay Guide first published in 1970 and still operation as an app 51 years later. An active "boy-lover", Stamford also run Pan: a magazine about boy-love later renamed Paedo Alert News in which he promoted the "Paedophile Information Exchange", a British organization dedicated to promoting paedophilia. Stamford died in custody awaiting trial for publishing information aiding paedophiles to solicit child prostitutes in third world countries.

• Ian Dunn, founder in 1969 of the Scottish Minorities Group, the country's first LGBT rights organization, still operational under the name Outright Scotland. He helped establish Britain's first gay newspaper, Gay News, and worked as an editor for Gay Scotland magazine. Dunn co-founded the Paedophile Information Exchange (UK's own NAMBLA). A room at the Glasgow LGBT Centre was named after him. At his funeral, a young man claimed to have been raped by him at age 15, and stated he was attending "to make sure he was dead". Dunn's own words: “I am not one of those homosexuals who get cross or nervous when the subject of love between men and boys is raised”

• Allen Ginsberg, renowned gay poet recipient of the 1974 National Book Award and 1986 Poetry Society of America's Frost Medal. His work prominently features graphic homosexuality and was the subject of milestone court cases on obscenity laws and free speech, catapulting Ginsberg to legend status in LGBT literature. He was a member of NAMBLA and read a "graphic ode to youth" in a documentary about the organization.

• Alfred Kinsey, prominent sexologist and founder of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction which was the academic source cited by the Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS) to design Sex Ed policy for schools. Creator of the Kinsey scale of sexual orientation and recipient of funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. His scientific malpractices are too many to mention: from faking data, to having sex with test subjects and students, to using paedophiles as a source of information on pre-adolescent orgasms. A 2016 review stated that Kinsey, a bisexual, likely overestimated the frequencies of non-heterosexual attractions in his reports.

How Most Millionaires Got Rich

"More than two-thirds of individuals with a net worth of $30 million or more are considered “self-made.” "

"Further, a second study by Fidelity Investments found that 88% of all millionaires are self-made, meaning they did not inherit their wealth."

Another W for the trait purity of g.

meta-analysis of RCTs finds that ritalin / methylphenidate / amphetamines are not shown to have any significant effect on working memory after correcting for publication bias.

Amphetamines of course decrease sleepiness, and increase motivation, energy, and focus; with working memory as a prime basis of g, this is basically causal evidence that these things do not influence intelligence.

“Race and ethnicity are now more important than either family income or parental education in accounting for [SAT] score differences.” White and Asian students from the poorest families perform at same level as black students from the wealthiest families.

Based on a sample of 1.1 million students, the study finds that of all possible factors affecting SAT performance, race has become "the strongest predictor."

Blacks in the US report higher self-esteem than whites, not the lower self-esteem posited by stereotype threat.

"Most of these differences were smallest in childhood and grew larger with age. Blacks' self-esteem increased over time relative to Whites.'"
