Science | Human Stupidity: Irrationality, Self Deception

http://human-stupidity.com/irrationality/science We have always been baffled about "victimization". The teenage sexuality , child porn , irrational drug prohibition witch hunts are based on victimization theories. These victimization theories are so outlandish, they make the medieval "theory that witches cause hail storm" look like sound science. First come our preconceived moral judgments.
I've been a fan of Satoshi Kanazawa; I've long had regrets that I didn't know he was at Canterbury for the couple of months we overlapped there.

The original meanings of “monster” implied no disparagement: our word derives from the Latin monstrum – an unusual, unexpected occurrence that carries – for that reason – a message from the gods. Of course the term has evolved; it has acquired additional meanings including some that express revulsion. The latter reflect the common human responses to departures from the ordinary. Still, we may well object to the disparaging uses of “monster,” surely in speaking of humans; and so to object is probably humane.
