Well then why does this pertain specifically to college students?I don't believe it's learned behavior as much as herd dynamics. I don't think you can really single out a person or group to whom you can point a finger, and placing blame isn't the point of the article anyway.
Also, as pointed out, the intentions are pure and come from a place of kindness. The resulting effect is truncating the very thing that gave rise to more cultural equality in the first place..unbridled, free speech.
For some it is. It's example of how social evolution doesn't weed out unviable mutants as biological evolution does, but incorporates it at will.No, it's a power play. They get to control the language and pick and choose who to shout down. Some groups can say words, other can't. Some groups can criticize other groups, while the privilege police restrict others
It doesn't, that just happened to be the focus of the article.Well then why does this pertain specifically to college students?
I've never heard about a humor gene. I'd love to hear about it. Link?There's a theory that fanaticism is hereditary and that the puritans of the northeast "evolved" into the humorless progressives we see today.

I assume he's talking about the Taboola ad that seems to pop up on just about every website ever. I get it all the time....it's usually some cop arresting some scantily clad lady and the text is based off your ISP location.Wtf?
Social sciences are held to the same standards, I'd like to read on it.I'd have to find something, but it had nothing to do with humor.
I first heard it about how all the early communists were mostly descended from religious Jews. That there is a "belief" gene and that the descendants of "believers" are going to believe something and if it's not religion it will be replaced with another system.
I doubt this is a scientifically tested theory, and more of the pull it from your bum, social science type.

Some good points and some bad points. The HUGE font size makes me believe their target audience is 60+. At least they know their demographic.
