Look I’m married to a Slav, have many Slavic friends whom I adore, my children are half slav, I have been to Slavic countries. Slavs have produced my FAVORITE works of art.
This statement is false. Slavs are en masse not highly intelligent much less cultured. They are a raped and dumb people.
They produce SOME highly intelligent and cultured individuals who are responsible for the miracle of Slavic excellence in the arts and sciences. Unfortunately most of the time these are just Jews.
They are like the Indians of whites. you would not watch an Indian win a chess championship or programming competition and extrapolate that intelligence to all Indians.
As another tweet put it so well, there is a reason they are over represented in tech engineering and under represented in tech executives.
@orphcorp Tech execs at fortune 10 companies do this during important quarterly meetings. For damn sure a startup founder is gonna do it with a random reporter
@CovfefeAnon Haven’t seen the episode. But the narrative “missionary goes to jungle, single pointed question from Indian destroys his whole world” is probably just hype to generate interest in whatever he’s selling.
I always thought a better heuristic was:
Roughly millions of trillions, potentially billions of trillions of molecular events have to go properly to arrive at a functioning reproductive system. Something like 10 billion cell divisions have to go right.
Because of environmental conditions, this process follows 1 of 2 potential pathways, A and B. If conditions are signaling for A, it not only builds A, it actively suppresses and kills what could lead to B. Some instances of the suppression of B are actually crucial to achieving A.
Our bodies do this extremely complex thing with >99% success.
We can abstract from A and B in all this and say male and female instead. You might not like it, you might want to deconstruct it, but it’s allowed. sorry!
It doesn’t mean intelligent design or that our bodies “know” what they are doing. But the idea that we are like totally epistemically untethered from what our bodies are doing, what it means for our lives & its significance, and how to process when it goes wrong, is downright ignorant. It’s yet another example of pretend not to understand anything > discourse impossible.
some women are "mad at the mental illness industry", sure. But it's highly likely that the guys who you say are reacting "irrationally and emotionally" aren't reacting to those women - they're reacting to different ones, so it's important to actually not get your wires crossed and identify who is engaging with whom
