not as things currently stand at least

would any of you accede to such a device if let's say you were sure there was nothing shifty going on?

A few months ago I saw a common core question (language arts) asking students to write a paragraph supporting a new microchip implant. I think it may be more palatable in the future as it's already being normalized now.

Looking for the article now.

Really? Fascinating

I believe it was a part of the US Common Core curriculum. I could be mistaken though.

I can't find anything googling offhand, where did you encounter it?

I'll take your word for it but I'm curious

Ill find it - I'm equally curious where I saw it and the context.

@devolved I'm reading AnonCon

I'll paste a section as an example of where his worldview just falls apart, totally inconsistent

One worrying aspect is leftist r-strategists tend to have high creativity, perhaps as an outgrowth of an evolved drive to create and exploit alternative resource streams as a way of avoiding direct conflict. As a result leftists tend to operate in these fields, and exhibit some measure of competence.

So r-"strategists" tend to have higher creativity? Woudn't you expect higher creativity from K-selected populations that have to make do with limited resources or poor conditions?

this kind of incoherence pops up every time I see r/K stuff applied directly to liberal vs. conservative

Indeed

But would you say it works, loosely

That it's more true than not

no, I wouldn't, but I would say you can use it as a framework to understand other stuff

for example, the situation of black people in America and welfare

certainly you can make an argument that this is a population that is "r-selecting"

more false than not I would say

one more thing about AnonCon @devolved

he has this certain tone

"pssst, hey guy, yeah, you there"

dark alley dude with secret tonic

Yeah

He's an asshole

@fallot Haven't got to the reference I mentioned earlier, but here is an example: Poems to Play with (in Class) Sample Unit of Study for Grades 3-5 suggests “Baby Ate a Microchip” by Neal Levin

It could be a figurative reference, but reference in a positive light just the same.

This is ubiquitous in larger city schools too. https://www.rt.com/usa/texas-school-id-hernandez-033/

I've had enough of drinking latte outside

They always boil the milk giving me cataclysmic stomach bloat

drink exilarch's chai

Asian women, Japanese and Chinese in particular, posses a greater sexual allure only by being more perfectly feminine than their white, or mullato counter-parts

But they also posses other qualities

People who say that Whites are looking into "yellow" pastures solely because they lack confidence or sense of self-worth miss this important part

I do drink tea mostly, the local sort
