    I watched it through. I think their message is more nuanced and varied. They don’t tend to fall into culture wars, from either side. For example, they mention the joke that the director of Acolyte made about R2D2 being a lesbian, and ridicule the right-wing reactions to that.

    I’d call them a voice of reason, but then again, I’m a long time fan.






  • If any nazis remain after Ukraine has won the war, they will probably be criminalized. Just like USA just recently declared a scandinavian neo-nazi organization as terrorists.

    The only non-fascist power on this planet is the West. I have some hopes about China on this front, but so far they have not stepped up in any serious way and are more a pro-fascist power with their clandestine support for authoritarian governments like Russia and North Korea.











  • Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children.

    That wasn’t my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success.

    I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component.

    Then I went here because you brought up parents. So not a non-sequitur but a specific reply to your comment.

    From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.

    When I specifically said it’s not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don’t think a reasonable person would assume that.
