RSSLewontin’s argument does not originate from Lewontin (more examples of Stigler’s law of eponymy). H. J Muller argued for it back in 1935 in “Out of the Night: A Biologist’s View of the Future ”
In man, however, though these individual genetic differences must be at least as great as in animals, the racial genetic differences in the respects in question may well be insignificant in comparison with the individual ones
Fahey is one of the pioneers of ambient, he was well-versed in traditional folk music, one of his favorite albums was “American anthology of folk music” (which I highly recommend, very listenable), I personally like all of the Fahey I listened to but I recommend “Rain Forests, Oceans, & Other Themes”, “Fare Forward Voyagers” and “America”.
ancient history was written by the losers

Looked at Manoel Horta Ribeiro scholarship. It is literally all about “hate speech” his whole career (which has only started) is about being a hall monitor and making better algorithms to detect “hate speech”. He talks on his blog about the “global online hate ecology” and “algorithmic extremism”. He is a extreme blue tribe.
Elizabeth Sandifer is a very neutral author, [from her book on the Rationalist and Neo-reaction “Neoreaction a basilik”:
‘This is a leftist book, and so must engage in a circular firing squad at least once. In the interests of discharging this solemn responsibility with minimal collateral damage, let’s pick a soft target: TERFs, or Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminists. Basically, ardent feminists for whom a primary concern is defending cis womanhood from trans women. In the interests of a swift execution, we’ll describe Cathy Brennan, a Maryland-based lawyer whose clients include a staggeringly ghastly litany of “mortgage loan companies, mortgage loan servicers, Internet lenders, consumer finance companies, title loan companies and payday lenders.” When she’s not helping capitalism murder poor people, her hobbies include extended and breathtakingly vicious harassment campaigns against trans women in which she doxes them, posts nude photos of them to her blog, and contacts their doctors and employers in order to intimidate them. And then, when she really needs to unwind from all that being as evil as actively possible, she searches Facebook to find people who call her a “fake goth”so she can report them. So there, see? It’s settled: TERFs are awful.’ [one person disproves TERF? I can think of many trans people who are just as awful]
She is explicitly partisan (this is a leftist book) and says that “capitalism murders poor people”.
LOL! What planet is this lady on??
Elizabeth Sandifer, a scholar who closely follows and documents the Rationalists. “But this can lead to real problems. The contrarian nature of these ideas makes them appealing to people who maybe don’t think enough about the consequences.”
This violates Betteridge’s law of headlines: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”
I guess this provides camouflage. I thought it was some MSM article blaming it on systemic racism or COVID but then I saw it was quillette.
reminder that blogspot hosts a blog for a LITERAL CHILD RAPIST & SERIAL KILLER Joeseph Duncan. He runs it from his prison cell. Dude literally writes in detail about his torture & rape of children. People are unsure weather he actually regrets it. Thankfully he is on death row.

blogspot meanwhile cares more about a cop.
People who believe or don’t believe the narrative are divided more by race and class then “left” and “right”. There is a reason why there is a growing anti-woke left, they see wokeism as a diversion away from working class struggles, and the right seeing it as a obvious attack against white tradition and culture. Silicon valley leans towards the center (fiscally conservative but very socially “woke”).
I know an anesthesiologist who had her kids in her late teens and early twenties. It definitely helped her advance her career when she started as as a doctor when her kids were 8-10 and largely autonomous.
If person has a kid when their pretty young I don’t think it’s the end of their potential income.
