Cambridge and Harvard did a study back in 2017 - it's around 35-40% being attributable to mental illness, and somewhere around an additional 20% to physical deformity in conjunction with mental disability

Harvard...didn't something recently happen with them?

Only thing that comes to mind was scrutiny over their Admissions program discriminating based on race

Ah, it was preventing the admission of Asain-Americans in favor of diversity. Forbes and NPR presented some of the most factual reporting. Harvard just won the Supreme Court battle in October 2019 proclaiming this discrimination was justified under Affirmative action.

What backwards type policy is that

*Can't be a racist policy if it's discriminating against a race in favor of other races* <:smugon:512048583806025739>

It's Harvard - in the end your admission is largely based on your financial resources. Lamenting the discrimination of potential students is a righteous battle, but ultimately it's a matter of *where your coming from* playing a direct factor, while *who you are* is of minor significance.

Not even sure if college is worth its value this day and age tbf

Most I can get out of it is networking

Course I could always be a little more open and socialize more in person, but I'm not about to give money to a shit system who tells me I'm bad because I'm white

Bachelor's degrees still hold merit in bolstering your salary by an average of 20k. I'll fiercely advocate for trade schools and institutions dedicated to the sciences

Real science sure

I still hold a passionate reverence for liberal arts - just not the universities that pander to the insanity of appealing to students based solely on traits like sex, race, religion, etc

I like more traditional arts, but I love scenic nature more

Did you know that Aghanistan is bad because America?

Oh hey Fox / CNN, didn't see you over there

Everything that is bad is due to wypipo and merica

Wrong!

Everything is bad because of the e v i l white European and disgusting Americans

My opinion is objective fact because I took racial & gender equity studies

Man.... Trump wants to send water to the farmers here in California's central valley, which supplies a large percentage of food produced in America. Yet my state governor rather sue Trump to prevent the water from reaching the farmers where I live just to protect a fish that isn't even native here to California

Definition of a brainlet

As a former resident, California's environmental policies do tend to fall into extreme

But with the recent string of wildfires, that state desperately needs the water for sustainment

Fucking Cali

Well Trump's proposed bill wants to allocate $1.5 billion to help California's environment and even make fisheries to help save endangered fish

Only ever head ghost stories of that state
