A Bombshell Post Alleges that Louis Midgley Was Physically Violent Towards Women

I could be mistaken, but I have not seen much in the way of any attempts to help him moderate his behavior for his own benefit and for the benefit of those who would prefer to interact civilly with others and find Dr. Midgley's unpleasantness a social burden.

Indeed, rather, it's the opposite. His colleagues revel in all the quirks of behavior you've discussed and the discomforts to others are just revenge.

Perhaps Dr. Midgley has found the one corner of Mormonism (outside of polygamy) where social deviance is encouraged and rewarded.

Zuul The Gatekeeper and Vinz Clortho The Keymaster would have been shunned as monstrous dogs and taken to the New York City Animal Shelter to be euthanized, if not for their utilitarian value to Gozer the Gozerian. Dr. Midgley has been accepted by Dr. Peterson and LDS apologetics for his utilitarian value: He snarls, pounces, bites, and draws metaphorical blood in the cause of apologetics.

Midgley The Handcrusher would have a place on pedestals along with Zuul and Vinz Clortho.

That said, Dr. Midley's quirks have been indulged far too much by his associates, and this means that he has not really been encouraged to moderate his behavior. Just because a person is neuroatypical does not mean that they have a free license to be a jerk. Dr. Midgley's treatment of Gina Colvin and her spouse, his treatment of people like gemli, and other unpleasant interactions where he gets overly worked up and appears to be lashing out angrily or insultingly--all of these things could be moderated had the people who care for him ever encouraged him to do so and he were at all receptive.

I could be mistaken, but I have not seen much in the way of any attempts to help him moderate his behavior for his own benefit and for the benefit of those who would prefer to interact civilly with others and find Dr. Midgley's unpleasantness a social burden.

Excellent observations.

Virtually all bullies suffer from their own insecurities. Some people who feel powerless compensate by seeking power over others. A truly strong man does not need to broadcast his strength to the world, for he knows he is strong. (When I say man, I mean woman too. For those who don't know, a woman is a man with a womb. We are all in this together. Separation of men and women is a nefarious activity meant only to sow division. Don't fall for it). That's why bullies fold quickly in the face of true strength.

A man is a woman with a Y chromosome.

Women have 2 X chromosomes instead of an X and a Y, but I’ve just learned that one of the two
X’s gets deactivated somehow in most cells, so that men’s Y chromosome is effectively an extra bunch of genes that women don’t get. The female is the base model, so to speak, and the male the variation.

This doesn’t imply that the male variation is an upgrade. Extra genes turn things off as well as on, so the change can just as well be a downgrade. Genetically, though, it appears the female is the more basic template.

Genetically, though, it appears the female is the more basic template.

In Mormonspeak, that would mean that Adam was devised out of a rib from Eve and would be summarily dismissed like that Homo Sapiens out of Africa idea.

Was that in the Veritasium "stripey" video? I also learned this recently and it's pretty cool the way science does this. It becomes a strong argument for generational matriarchy as the more relevant genealogical line than male. Or that's how I interpret things.

We are all pretty much just a wandering SRY protein away from having different genitals.

I know. It's so embarrassing to see an image of that big, strong, confident X chromosome next to that pitiful little ugly Y. I don't even want to think about it.
