I get you. Let me introduce you to colourism.

Mixed-race and lighter-skinned Black people often benefit from colourism through their proximity to whiteness

I absolutely love their client and prefer GOG over Steam. I remember how their client GOG Galaxy is highly praised in the developer community, because it is so well designed and runs so performant. It also allows you to play any previous versions of games you own.

We have a hard time escaping our subjective perspective. It's not a lottery. There are two humans who decide with almost 100 % certainty where they create a new human. It's hard to wrap your head around that, but understanding physicalism helps. The idea that you could be someone else is wrong.

I'm flabbergasted. 617051 is a prime number. That means it cannot be the result of varying parts of a taco. The comic is illogical, and it's hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

Holy shit! That's the most depressing thing I read in a while. :(

"fringe arguments that link genetics and intelligence" -- genes influence intelligence, that's the state of science.

I've always wondered how people who think the link between genes and intelligence is false explain the evolution of intelligence. I'm honestly shocked that people here in "Technology" give your comment so many upvotes. Shouldn't we be more sciency here? Also, AI is a good example that intelligence is not independent of the material world.

Your point (1) probably gets applause because of camp thinking. Don't let your beliefs become your identity. http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxqTOm3TzsY

However, I understand that the topic is extremely uncomfortable and personally even think it should be avoided because society is not ready for it. There is still too much racism and hatred existing in society for this knowledge not to be abused. The same social immaturity also explains why currently many suspect this research to be motivated by racism.

Don't know about USA, but in Germany the inflationary use of "Nazi" by leftists weakened the term a lot. So if someone is called a Nazi, you don't have to assume anymore it's a bad person. I believe it will be impossible to turn that back.
