>Over time, the UNH scientist [Chanda] has escalated her grievances into increasingly dubious accusations of scholarly misconduct, misogyny, and homophobia, as well as entirely unsubstantiated remarks about sexual harassment.
>Additionally, Quillette has obtained copies of complaints against Prescod-Weinstein recently submitted to UNH by three other scholars. Among these materials is a database cataloguing over 50,000 of the tweets that Prescod-Weinstein posted during the five-year period ending in September 2023.
>Taken together, the sources reviewed by Quillette cover dozens of vilification campaigns waged by Prescod-Weinstein, beginning in 2015 and continuing to the present day.
>In some cases, these attacks were rooted in contentious social-justice issues playing out in the fields of astronomy and physics.
>But others seem to have been sparked by nothing more than glancing social-media disagreements, jokes, minor rebukes, or a targeted individual’s failure to take what Prescod-Weinstein deemed to be suitable notice of her accomplishments.

Oh okay, so bad for interiors but not for me. The morality of racism is subjective in the absolute. Thank you for your clarification.
>>
>>16178726
>That would still depend on the individual schizophrenic
And yet you would still behave differently around someone if you knew they were schizophrenic, and treat claims they make differently, out of a natural sense of self-preservation, especially if you didn't know them well or at all.
>mental health is inherently different from race
Different, but analogous. Neither are chosen, both impact the person, both SHOULD impact how you approach that person when you don't know them well or at all.

You don't demonstrate HOW they impact the person. Both your examples break down on the general level and are still case-by-case for how we treat the person.

Okay, so you just have no sense of self-preservation and would approach any stranger exactly the same way even if you've been explicitly told they suffer from a debilitating mental illness that makes them a danger to themselves and others?
>>
>>16178754

I can't tell if you're just being disingenuous or if you're actually this stupid. We're not talking about some clinical setting where you get access to a complete medical history and can debate for a few hours about the man's behavioral tendencies before choosing a correct course of action in how to interact with him. We're talking about some guy you come across out in the world and the only thing you know about him is that he has a dangerous mental illness.

Racism has pros and cons. If one group actually is significantly different than another, then it could be useful to create social norms and heuristics on how to deal with that group. The downside is that it can lead to false positives, such as assuming a black nerd is retarded and violent just because ghetto blacks are more likely to be. Or that dark skinned Brahmins are the same as Africans simply based on color.

Ideologies like religion have tried to extend the concept of the in-group to be larger and larger, so as to reduce inter-group violence and increase cooperation. Christianity especially is known for its values of charity, mercy, forgiveness, salvation. These try to give people second chances and reduce the incidence of blood feuds between groups, leading to a 'brotherhood of man.' In this sense they try to make the meaningful difference between people based on values or culture, rather than physical appearance. In terms of game theory this strategy worked better for multiethnic empires, as memes spread much faster than genes.

Since there are genetic differences between ethnic groups, and that may explain some percentage of the variance in behavior, it's not entirely baseless to be 'racist' to some degree. However it's possible for culture and upbringing to supercede genetic predispositions in large part. Perhaps the more reasonable future position will be to recognize there are average differences, not expect perfect equality of outcomes, but still give people a chance to prove their merit.

living? James Steele. Did a meta-analysis of exercise studies and sifted through data. Showed that the only thing that really matters in exercise is intensity and that more than 1 set is not required when reaching failure. Results are remarkably consistent when you account for hitting failure. Before this, most studies did not equate proximity to failure, but when controlling for intensity by only searching studies that had subjects reaching failure you find maximal potential muscle building benefit. All other factors of exercise performance are essentially irrelevant. Also did some research on lifting and how it pertains to "cardio". Showed that AMPK was maximally stimulated when reaching failure, meaning that you get maximal non-specific aerobic benefit from reaching failure as well as vascular adaptation. Other "cardio" benefits are activity specific. So if you wanted to be a runner then you would train for running by running and wouldn't just expect to be able to be good without training for it, but running itself does not provide any specific magic benefit as a superior form of general "cardio" training. This dude, James Fischer, and their colleagues trimmed off 99% of all the exercise industry horseshit in 2 studies even though industry fags refuse to acknowledge it because it would destroy their profit structure.

He's literally the
>"Personal trainers HATE him! Get ripped in 1/10th the time with this ONE simple trick"
guy except for real. (1/10th the time spent exercising, not calendar days from starting training until you're ripped) I have the utmost respect for this guy despite his terrible physique due to shit genetics.

>>16171697
Firstly, racism is wrong because when people believe it, it usually results in harm to people. Ranging from the relatively trivial harms of cruel jokes and offensive stereotypes to the catastrophic harms of things like apartheid and genocide. It would therefore be better in general if no one were racist.

And then it’s also wrong because it is factually inaccurate. A belief in the innate superiority of any racial or ethnic group is not scientifically supported; and even the definitions and divisions of racial and ethnic groups that we use are often not scientifically supported.

Thats exactly wrong, banning racism has caused hundreds of millions of deaths over the past century, racists have caused none. Banning racism is a key component of communism because communists want people to reserve all of their loyalty strictly for their communists totalitarian masters rather than for their own kin.
