@Max_Bakers @Mkops13 @Richie_Research @ThomasSowell There doesn’t have to be a "great switch”
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was not a “party” issue, it was a regional issue.
Not one southern republican supported it.
Making it out to be anything other than that is disingenuous. Either way it’s irrelevant to modern politics.
@Mkops13 @Max_Bakers @Richie_Research @ThomasSowell That’s idealist.
Zero southern republicans in Congress voted for the act. Not one.
The issue was more complex than “red v. blue"
@Max_Bakers @Mkops13 @Richie_Research @ThomasSowell The original comment is about whether the fact is "irrelevant to modern day politics”
It’s irrelevant to frame statistics on voting that was shaped by region, by party.
How is that in anyway relevant, especially when those same regions are now mainly Republican today anyway.
@trinisoftinc @J_drew12 @d3ciph3r1 @markessien The existence of luck does not mean someone is immune from unlucky events. Just like the existence of intelligence does not make someone immune from a stupid event.
@MuyiwaSaka@markessien Mastery in one skill has no effect on mastery of other skills. A meta-analysis https://t.co/wvktKwpu51
Skill transfer from similar subjects is due to better mental representations being used as leverage in learning. Anders Ericsson spoke about this in his research and book Peak
@trinisoftinc @markessien Luck: success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.
Some people born to fortunate families/circumstances not by any action of their own. That’s luck
@vgr After thinking on this, I now agree with the original tweet. The desire to execute on the opportunity probably comes from the belief that the system is illegitimate.
@vgr Looting isn’t a response to illegitimacy. It’s seized opportunity which can come from events that hold that belief (protests, riots) but not limited to those events (natural disasters like Katrina)
