You’re right. Ive never lived in Africa or any predominantly black communities. I’ve done some volunteering with African and Afghan refugee kids, and worked professionally with black colleagues (both immigrants and second generation). My experience has been mixed, but any problems I’ve are obviously cultural and not race related.
If you can point to any data that suggests I’m wrong I’ll reassess my personal experience. As it stands I can’t see any correlation between melanin and being a shit bloke.

2025-06-14 23:29:18 UTC

- reply

There’s more than just race that explains these global disparities. And when I use my eyes and own experience interacting with black people, I don’t find race is an explanatory factor dude. So basically, there’s no data I can find to support your views, and my own real world experience doesn’t support your views 🤷. If I go on twitter, I find lots of video clips of black people doing shitty things, but I don’t really trust algos man.
I think if you’re going to build your identity around a contrarian viewpoint (which is a cool vibe), this is probably the wrong one to pick. Will just lead to misery in the long term I reckon.

2025-06-14 07:33:43 UTC

What I like about your point of view is that it’s heterodox and contrary to the mainstream - and therefore useful to air and consider.
I also agree the blank slate is not true, nature is huge (although nurture is also obviously important - otherwise it wouldn’t matter what parents you have).
I can only speak to my experience, which is that culture and renaissance/reformation thinking is more important than race as a characteristic. When I’ve worked with people fresh off the boat I’ve found I often didn’t enjoy the experience, but racially diverse people brought up in my culture are generally pretty awesome.
I would be more convinced by your point of view if I could find evidence that:
1. Genetic diversity within racial groups isn’t bigger than genetic differences across groups.
2. Racial differences persist after a couple of generations
The last time I did a deep dive on race science I was very underwhelmed by the poor quality of the studies.
I’ve just found it better to treat people as individuals, to not assume any characteristics about them based on physical cues, and that seems to work out pretty well for me. Your mileage may vary. Happy for you to share any high quality evidence you think supports your views.

Propositions:
1. Economic and political freedom of the individual are essential to human prosperity.
2. Redistribution of wealth is inevitable, whether by taxation or bloody revolution.
3. Markets are a good mechanism of innovation, not a good mechanism of redistribution.
4. Taxation is not regulation.
5. Extreme wealth inequality is undesirable, but moderate inequality is desirable.
If these propositions are true, then a fair and stable society could be achieved through deregulation of markets, while taxing the bejeezus out of the ultra-rich (eg inheritance tax + very high rate on passive income >1mill).

2025-02-06 11:18:38 UTC

I agree with your thesis that we need to be wary of food distribution as a mechanism of control. I don’t think bird flu culls are a good example. Poultry is particularly susceptible to flu and as a large population coexisting with humans, represents a large reservoir of possible bird to human transfer of a a new flu strain. Also, just way easier to cull than wild birds.

Yep it works thanks. It is interesting to think about. Electricity vs gas as a lever of control is worth considering. Same with the chickens. Overall though, I don’t think we can ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. They’re trying to phase out gas in Australia too, but I legitimately think it’s because a lot of policy decisions are directed by retards or ideologues.

There’s some truth to that, but the language is tricky and slippery. In Christianity (at least where I’m from), it is more often phrased that you « accept » Jesus and God into your life. Seldom do you hear submit to Jesus. Maybe when they’re bringing out the Old Testament god. Jesus dying for our sins is an unique act is spiritual emancipation and freedom.

There is definitely functional bullying. But there’s also dysfunctional bullying.
To take the school example, there’s an intrinsic cruelty from groups of well adjusted kids that is probably useful. Then there’s unfettered abuse from unfortunate kids who are themselves abused, and this is almost certainly dysfunctional and destructive to the system as a whole.
Weeding out the healthy bullying from the pathological is the nuance we actually need.

This is a symptom, not the disease. The real pathology is the jobification of a profession. Primary care doctors increasingly work for super clinic businesses, specialists work in hospitals ran by MBAs. Being a doctor is less a calling, and more a business problem.

I’m as pessimistic about govt initiatives as you. But when you dig into the some of the details of TEx. It’s actually not that bad. I can’t audit their code base, but it’s seems more like a decentralised identifier (like IOTAs https://www.iota.org/solutions/digital-identity).
The result is you can’t just hack a centralised database and get everyone’s information like the Optus leak. The credentials are stored locally on device and you can share a cryptographic token that proves you have a valid Medicare number, or are of age, but don’t actually have to reveal that information.
