  I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

  Not a lot of people are lucky to get funded unfortunately :(

  Colonialism has done really bad things in the African and Middle Eastern continent. When they withdrew they irresponsibly drew the borders and now civil wars happen all the fucking time

  Not just the US. Cambridge Analytica is trying to manipulate our politics through scummy means such as misinformation. And our country is being fucked by the effects of Climate Change while western countries are celebrating because “it’s more sunny and warm now! :D”.

  Also you’re too focused on trying to defend yourself from any potential accusation? What about that point someone made that in some points of history, regions of relatively high cultural development change over time?

  I mean, not many people would call Eastern Asians “white people”

  I’ll call it that way.

  Intelligence doesn’t trend to an objective “perfection of the brain”. Someone with 190+ IQ can still believe in false conspiracy theories due to the nature of the human brain. So someone with a high IQ would easily solve a problem and deduce patterns, but will still fall to human cognitive biases.
