Tom talks with Jim Nuzzo, PhD about his recent research into male circumcision. Jim used some creative means to study the reasons parents decide to have their boys or girls circumcised. He also looked at word usage. When did the word “mutilation“ occur in studies and when did the word “circumcision“ occur and what does this mean? Have a look!
Interesting research and discussion even though it seems to reinforce all of the information that we already know or suspected.
Funny how political issues and bias's keep finding their way into medical research. Maybe it always happened in the past, but every day that goes by it seems more flagrant, invasive and even evil.
This report by you two wonderful men really highlights what I've learned from Ayn Rand's philosophy in the last 12 months. She said something like:
"Criminals are a small minority in any age or country. And the harm they have done to mankind is infinitesimal when compared to the horrors — the bloodshed, the wars, the persecutions, the confiscations, the famines, the enslavements, the wholesale destructions — perpetrated by mankind's governments. Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims."

Thanks again.

Mac said: " but every day that goes by it seems more flagrant, invasive and even evil." Truth.
Thanks for checking out Jim's substack. He is a gem.
Thanks for having me on the show, Tom!
Thank you Jim, it is always a pleasure!
Thank you Tom and James - that was excellent.
I really got it.. Genital Mutilation ...the differences.
Bill Gates... I find my self thinking, 'slime bag'.
I have lost all respect after seeing Sandra Bullock and fellow aussie Kate Blanchett admitting to 'foreskin cosmetics' - more 'slime bags'.
It really strikes me that James Nuzzo is dealing with a lot of 'useless idiots' or 'useful idiots'.
I posted the link to this video on my own substack.
How is it proven that 'better sexual function, performance'!!??
I will post it here again: Ken McGrath gives a very different reason in this video as to why we might want to stop performing Circumcisions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmToXLVrZ7c&t=808s
The CDC are supporting this... mmmmm

Thanks for the comment and for the link to the video. Good info and well presented.
