@IsraelJustOrg@jeremysmiles And if two people were killed in Tuvalu that would be proportionally worse than either. Thanks for your sound logical input.
@realJeremyCarl The single-minded tiger mom striver culture also seems to produce people like the California couple (of Indian descent, working in tech) who demanded their surrogate abort because of a heart defect; good test-takers with horribly skewed moral compasses
@benshapiro Here's a piece of data relevant to the ruthless striving that leads to academic overrepresentation, its logical eventual outcome, especially if it also leads to overrepresentation in the tech sector. People intuit this about Indian immigration and oppose it.
@wil_da_beast630 The real question is if Indians are so smart and hard-working then why is India the way it is? Answer that and you'll get closer to the "root cause."
@AuronMacintyre Almost never see it mentioned but the Indian public's outlier views on the appropriateness of genetically editing embryos to make them more intelligent seems important, especially in the context of higher education
@InezFeltscher The carveout for intoxication is bizarre as well. Alcohol and drug addiction are just as valid psychiatric diagnoses as post-partum psychosis. If someone sought treatment, relapsed, drove drunk and killed someone why couldn't they make the same defense?
@Steve_Sailer You might get a kick out of this viral editorial bemoaning why people would rather read reissues than new novels, and not the good kind of reissues like "Oreo" about biracialism.
@Steve_Sailer Pretty much everyone in the literary world believes both a) it's great that it's not dominated by white men anymore and b) literature has never been worse. Nobody connects the dots.
@jessesingal would you feel the same about someone you otherwise respected who wrote a forward to a book by Cofnas? The black scholars losing their minds over that feel about him the way you feel about Thomas

“Shadow Ticket,” Thomas Pynchon’s first book in a dozen years, lands in a moment when reality seems to have caught up with his fictions—but it has little to tell us about our current era. https://t.co/ZcXmNtQvlM
@CareBar24613029@BriannaWu I also see from your pinned tweet that you're just learning about motivated reasoning and confirmation bias. I recommend including some self-reflection as you further explore these concepts
@CareBar24613029@BriannaWu I see, it's the group opposing genocide who are othering and tribal, not the ones committing the genocide in the name of their ethnostate. Got it.
