Living is too hard
i was actually in outspace thinking about what being 1/4 black would entail if you dogmatically went on the IQ evidence
1 standard deviation of difference, .25% black = .25% SD lower, in theory. If you were to just meme face value. So I was doing face value math
100-85=15 *75 so
About 4 points of IQ reduction, if you were to just meme and commit
Ultimately though. I don't even think 4 points of IQ is really meaningful though
I doubt I could tell the difference between a human with 85 IQ and 115, frankly
Well... I think I could correctly guess, better than chance
But not likely better than 55-65%
Of the VC chat:
There are systemic reasons for disparate impact on all demographics (blacks and whites)
However, there's more impact on blacks
The aforementioned is the intended normative meaning of systemic racism
So there can be systemic racism against white people. It's just rarer. And it's usually just saying "Fuck off, poor fuck. you get no loan"
All this demonstrates is that everyone feels discriminated against. Or that many people feel alienated
```A significant majority of Republican voters, 75 percent, said that white Americans are subject to discrimination. Most independents, 55 percent, agreed.```
Yeah, this is surveying
People's feelings are important though
This is a very bad horn to grab
People feel alienated -- > need to make people feel included
And I"m even the cynic
People are dumb fucks
I hate this person
```A 2017 poll commissioned by NPR found that 55 percent of white adults believed that the racial group experiences societal bias. Only 19 percent of white respondents said that they had personally been discriminated against, however.```
I approach every discussion from a trivial place, so that I don't have to engage with his feels and anecdotes
But I'm glad I effectively muted him immediately
A feeling that your group experiencing discrimination demonstrates, to me, that there's deep concern about it ...
Literally leads you to the white anxiety conclusion

I just can't engage LARPers. I can't do it
If you set the population level to 100. And you say "I want there to be more diversity" (You are by proxy saying I want less whites)
But this gets at his faulty presupposition
He's too stupid to self-analyze though
But Methode's .. missing the point of able to grasp where his faulty supposition comes from
It's a classic "Fixed pie fallacy"
And many people think this way. And it's true in some senses
"Racial equality" means "exact absolute number of people of the ethnic group" <:pepega:644890975210176541>
Having an IQ of 150 and mopping floors would most likely be bad.
Since you're aware of the pointlessness and idea that you could or should be doing something else
I wouldn't claim to have 150 IQ. But all of my jobs have felt utterly worthless and pointless
