I’ll bet those victims didn’t do so well on an IQ test the day after their lives were destroyed.
This race-determines-IQ-determines-worthiness thread is one in a long line of sophisticated arguments that intellectuals have comfortably made for centuries and much more (c.f. Buckminster Fuller: the great pirates and the invention of the university) (c.f. General Robert E Lee weeping for the damage that slavery was doing to the slave owners.)
The goal is to make the elite comfortable and justified in profitable repression.
I honestly welcome someone to explain why EA, a great concept in principle, is not in part a smokescreen for the same old racket. Thanks, everyone, for the chance to participate in the discussion.
This is a re-post. Someone “canceled” the previous attempt. Not such an open forum, it turns out.
Reading recently about the razing of an entire Black community in Palm Springs, 60 years ago. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/15/california-palm-springs-section-14-homes-burned-survivors-justice?amp;amp;amp “Their houses had burned, sometimes with their belongings inside – no time to evacuate or no place to go.” This is one of many examples of the destruction of Black communities, of lives, generational wealth, culture. Throughout American history: Elaine, Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington, … many more.
