Hey, can I ask if there are any plans to defederate from Hexbear and Lemmygrad? The users on those instances are extremely toxic, especially the former.

Never argue with someone from Hexbear. They're all at least comfortable with being in a community overrun by tankie trolls.

Why is irrelevant. Imagine if people argued over if a murderer killed someone because they felt like it or because they looked at them funny. See how pointless the question is? Do you understand how no sane person would argue about that?

Desire alone cannot cure ignorance; information is required for that, and not everyone has the know-how to find it.

This exactly. Intelligence being heritable does not imply that any one particular population is more intelligent on average than another.

“intelligence” is a pretty nebulous term to begin with

This is also accurate, but I'm glossing over that because it's late and that fact is only tangentially relevant to the question.

Thank you very much!

By banning the workers councils and overthrowing the democratically elected menshiviks before making himself a Tsar in all but name as well as paving the way for Stalin to take power.

Intelligence has a genetic component. Every single test we have that attempts to measure intelligence that we've checked for heritability shows that intelligence likely has a generic component. Furthermore, we know that some species are more intelligent than others. Given the demonstrable existence of Darwinian evolution, this implies that some populations of a species are more or less intelligent than another because that's a requirement for a speciation event that results in a species that's more intelligent than its cousin species.

Anyone who says otherwise is likely allowing their ideology to cloud their judgement.

I realized this on the 6th. It's the first thing that crossed my mind when I knew what was happening. I'm not a legal scholar; I'm a mathematician, so I'm wondering how it took so long for this to happen.

I just looked, and I think it'd be more accurate to call it a Neo-Bolshevik cesspit.
