Discussing "Version 2" will get you fired from your job. It is crime-think of the highest order. Your mind will simply slide away the words on the screen until they form an incomprehensible jumble.
I used to belong to a cult. Like many fundamentalist Christians the members took the events in Genesis as literal truth.
I once explained to a cult member that the order of events was incorrect. There is not one, but a series of conflicts with our scientific understanding of how the solar system formed. Notably the sun does not come into existence after the earth. I watched him read and re-read the chapter. He literally could not see it, even with it right in front of him.
If I was right, then I merely believed the scientific explanation for cosmic aggregation made sense.
If he believed what I believed, then he lost everything, friends, family, business connections.
For most people (not counting yourself, since you were sincere enough to bring up the hypothetical), having an honest conservation on this topic is impossible.
This is why I don't trust the narrative Western society presently has on race. It is of course possible that I am entirely wrong about my ideas on the subject, but attaching such sigma to the topic is a tell, like in poker, that the other side is bluffing. Anytime there is a sign saying 'Don't dig here', it is the job of a real scientist to grab his spade and thrust it firmly into loam to uncover what may be lying there. And if you don't like what you find, then too bad, the list of people who discovered scientific evidence contradicting their position is voluminous.
tldr; Darwin's ideas continue to detonate.
