Her research in the field of peer pressure for kids and teenagers and the influence those peers have was a game changer and eye-opener for many ppl.
Sad to learn of the death of a major influence and dear friend, the brilliant and witty psychologist Judith Rich Harris. Too early for an obit, but the NYT review of her magnum opus may be found here: http://movies2.nytimes.com/books/98/09/13/reviews/980913.13tavrist.html …

It’s also quite telling of her career that she was dismissed from Harvard Ph.D.-prog. when Miller was chair in 1960 and in 1995 was awarded APA’s Miller award for outstanding research. A true fighter.

She was a great messenger for an unpopular message: parenting doesn’t count for much in a child’s development. Unless you’ve read her book The Nurture Assumption you no doubt disagree violently. Read the book!

A review written by the equally astute (and highly underrated) Carol Tavris.

Sad to hear this. A truly remarkable person that inspired me to go back to grad school.

Judith was my intellectual hero. She took time to give advice to a random grad student in Nova Scotia, but it made a world of difference for me.

The NYT is that "news" organization that still employs a vile racist on their editorial board, right?

Invert the races (either speaker or subject) and such a person would be fired, derided, kicked off all social networks and payment processors and libertarians would cheer. But humanist, skeptic and enlightened Pinker has zero issue with this circumstance. He's literally a joke.

a white person who made comments like hers should *not* be fired, derided or kicked off social networks. nor should sarah jeong. people need to stop getting offended. end of story.
