[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- AREOMAGAZINE.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazrat Ali: "No one establishes the order of God the Glorified except one ... who is not a conformist ..." Hazar Imam, 2006: "[We must] constantly review and revise and renew what we think we know."] ARTICLE: Freeman Dyson passed away this week at 96 and left a massive hole in the scientific establishment, we are unlikely to fill in the foreseeable future. His career was arguably more prolific and illustrious than that of any other scientist of our current era and his influence is impossible to quantify. He was a theist, publicly remaining a Christian throughout his life. He earned the right to reject the importance of scientific consensus and had a deep-seated commitment to opposing scientific orthodoxy. He saw it as deeply moral and essential to the progress of science. In 2005, Dyson said, "The prevailing dogmas may be right, but they still need to be challenged. I'm proud to be a heretic. The world always needs heretics to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy." What is extraordinary ...

EVOLUTIONNEWS.ORG -- If you want a shock, read "The Dangerous Denial of Sex" by two biologists in the Wall Street Journal. The shock is not that there are two biological sexes is obvious and has been obvious for, oh, the past million years or so. Nor is it a shock that our culture has reached the point where noting there are two human sexes is expressed in an "opinion" piece. The shock is that these scientists are lone voices -- without any support from mainstream scientific journals and organizations -- affirming the most basic fact of human biology and that they risk their careers for affirming publicly the biological fact that there are two, and only two, human sexes. They conclude: "The time for politeness ...
APKMETRO.COM -- VIA THE WALL STREET JOURNAL -- More and more we see a harmful and antiscientific pattern towards the outright denial of organic intercourse. In people, as in most animals or crops, a person's reproductive anatomy corresponds to one of two distinct varieties that manufacture small or massive intercourse cells: eggs and sperm. In people, reproductive anatomy is unambiguously male or female at delivery greater than 99.98% of the time. The evolutionary function of those two anatomies is to assist in replication through the fusion of sperm and ova. No third sort of intercourse cell exists in people, and subsequently there isn't any intercourse "spectrum" or extra sexes past female and male. Organic intercourse is binary. There's a distinction, nevertheless, between the statements that ...
