Darjeeling is reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes
I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open air pass time. And when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an armchair, with his hair trigger, and a hundred boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it.

For many poor Americans of all colors, jail is the only place where doctors, lawyers, teachers, and chaplains are, however grudgingly, made available to them.

The Universe is a jelly. Or a bucket of shot. It's one or the other. Probably. Not all cats are female.

Bertrand Russell: Philosophy in an Hour

Darjeeling
Darjeeling is on page 222 of 464 of Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon
In general, the world would be a better place if people shared more truths and believed fewer falsehoods. That's why we have education and public-information campaigns and newspapers and so forth. There are exceptions—strategic secrets, for instance, cases where I believe something and am grateful that nobody else shares my belief.

Darjeeling is on page 202 of 464 of Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon
The physicist Paul Davies (2004) has recently defended the view that belief in free will is so important that it may be "a fiction worth maintaining." It is interesting that he doesn't seem to think that his own discovery of the awful truth (what he takes to be the awful truth) incapacitates him morally, but believes that others, more fragile than he, will need to be protected from it.

Darjeeling is on page 448 of 912 of The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life
"It is time to return to the original intentions of affirmative action: to cast a wider net, to give preference to members of disadvantaged groups, whatever their skin color, when qualifications are similar. Such a change would accord more closely with the logic underlying affirmative action, with the needs of today's students of all ethnic groups, and with progress toward a healthy multiracial society."

Jews-specifically, Ashkenazi Jews of European origins-test higher than any other ethnic group. The literature indicates that Jews in America and Britain have an overall IQ mean somewhere between a half and a full standard deviation above the mean, with the source of the difference concentrated in the verbal component.

Even if the differences between races were entirely genetic (which they surely are not), it should make no practical difference in how individuals deal with each other. The real danger is that the elite wisdom on ethnic differences - that such differences cannot exist - will shift to opposite and equally unjustified extremes.

What if the cognitive elite were to become not only richer than everyone else, increasingly segregated, and more genetically distinct as time goes on but were also to acquire common political interests?

Darjeeling is reading The Holy Bible: King James Version
1 Timothy 2 King James Version (KJV)

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
