Einstein you fucking retard.
January 19, 2020 at 23:09
The physicist on Spacetime?
January 19, 2020 at 22:54
I'm drooling as we speak. You need to watch PBS Spacetime on YouTube. He had an episode on violation of conservation.
January 19, 2020 at 22:45
What do you mean you fucking retard?
January 19, 2020 at 22:40
I'm not voting.
January 19, 2020 at 22:30
No
January 19, 2020 at 22:26
Of course. Although difference can also be attractive, as in viva la difference. Racism therefore has to have causes other than difference and our abi...

Usually. But Irish people look exactly like English ones. German Jews look pretty much like Germans. The meaning attached to race can contain non-phen...

If racism prevention is the goal, people could be encouraged to be aware of how they feel about differences. Give space to feeling uncomfortable. Not ...
January 19, 2020 at 11:08
I'm afraid so. Isaac Asimov said that the Hebrews invented religious intolerance. Massively anti-Semitic and he was descended from Russian Jews. It's ...

Probably everything we are including culture emerges from biology. In turn, culture acts as a filter on our potential, amplifying this, suppressing th...

What's the source of their ire?
January 17, 2020 at 22:54
It's cultural annihilation. It's fairly recent.
January 17, 2020 at 21:16
You said this before and I ignored it: that they deluged Trump, but were completely silent about the Uygurs. It brings into view how meaningless the a...

Protesting is pointless. You can still acknowledge the magnitude of their crimes against humanity. Right?
January 17, 2020 at 19:36
How does that work? Are Zionists supposed to represent all Jews?
January 17, 2020 at 15:37
Killed by nerve gas or held in a Chinese re-education camp. Hmm. That's a toughy. Since they're willing to execute Falun Gongs for their organs, I don...

So you approve of it from a strategic angle if not morally?
January 17, 2020 at 11:03
Do you mean 40 million and 13 percent? But why are internal factors more potent than external ones?
January 17, 2020 at 11:01
It's bullshit, but they're there now.
January 16, 2020 at 23:28
It can make a huge difference, which I know from experience. You still have to hustle.
January 16, 2020 at 23:23
Makes sense. In the US, the economy has continued to expand and prosper, but wages stagnated. Which do you think has the biggest impact on prosperity ...
January 16, 2020 at 23:22
:up:
January 15, 2020 at 23:07
Cool. But you could understand why comparing the US to countries that are the approximate sizes of US states is problematic. Let's compare Massachuset...
January 15, 2020 at 22:56
If you mean there's greater wealth disparity in the US, I wouldn't be surprised. If you're saying there is less social mobility, I'd be interested in ...
January 15, 2020 at 22:33
No social system has fixed that problem so far. There is no substitute for finding the ladder and getting your ass up onto it.
January 15, 2020 at 22:23
Exactly. Money is the great equalizer. That is the great capitalist virtue.
January 15, 2020 at 22:16
Aren't most straight white male victims of discrimination poor? Like with a biker tatto?
January 15, 2020 at 22:08
So it was racist? Ok. The racism angle is a gimmick, but yes, there was racism, and it's an important issue, but it's trivialized by association with ...
January 15, 2020 at 21:43
I guess it's possible. No?
January 15, 2020 at 17:38
There's principle-based racism, which is institutional, and then unique flares of racism that are responses to stress. If the US and the UK share prin...
January 15, 2020 at 17:03
So you're saying this isn't a product of the times, it's a product of a long-standing attitude that we would expect to see shaping events as we roll f...
January 15, 2020 at 15:26
What I gather is that: 1. SSU is innundated by information about the royal family and can't get away from it. He's possibly in some Finnish basement s...
January 15, 2020 at 15:22
A challenge to that would be Native Americans who were reported to lack racism altogether, and in fact it was reported that a tribe might choose to wa...

I could get the transcript from CBS, but I'd have to pay for it. What is that and why is this perspective not sexist?
January 15, 2020 at 00:38
I didn't realize the question would be hi-jacked in this way. All I know about it is the CBS interview. We'll let this thread meet the bit bucket.
January 15, 2020 at 00:24
Discuss the issue raised in the OP or step off, ok?
January 15, 2020 at 00:12
Racism is the issue being discussed in the OP. Are you saying the woman CBS interviewed is a liar? Or just mistaken?
January 14, 2020 at 23:35
Could you say more?
January 14, 2020 at 13:30
That's pretty common, yes.
January 13, 2020 at 16:16
He was riffing on Kant, not Descartes. Somebody suggested that though there appears to be a multitude of electrons, there's really only one. Schopenha...

Protesting lets off steam and makes people feel like they're accomplishing something when they aren't.
January 13, 2020 at 13:25
It doesn't make sense unless you're planning to colonize the area. Just let their protests echo away in silence too (unless you're an American politic...
January 13, 2020 at 01:45
Exactly. If everybody already knows you're in imperial overstretch and all you have left is nuclear weapons, it's best if everybody thinks you're fuck...
January 13, 2020 at 00:33
No, they were all Christians all the way back to Adam. I can't believe you'd suggest otherwise. What's wrong with you?
January 13, 2020 at 00:31
Iranians protest airplane disaster. Now what did some geniuses say about Iranian solidarity?
January 12, 2020 at 13:14
I dont think Descartes suggested that it does, did he? I dont really see what work substance dualism does beyond saying that mind is irreducible. Irre...
January 12, 2020 at 12:14
Absolutely!
January 12, 2020 at 00:28
The important thing is that the US, like you, is a drunken maniac who will bomb anything for any reason. As long as everybody remembers that, we're go...
January 11, 2020 at 19:21
I don't agree. In stripping away everything we can doubt, he was denying the Church a place at the foundations of our thinking, and understood in the ...
