It's a bad take on the variability hypothesis. GP starts with "outliers exist" and through a parody of inference gets all the way to "there are two tiers of men", a train of thought that Joseph Goebbels would be proud of.
- etrabroline 6y agoStealth edit, the above post used to compare the author with Joseph Goebbels, now it makes a self-aware reference to "Godwin's law". Still a bad argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
- inopinatus 6y agoSure, okay, let's put Goebbels back in. I'd swapped him for an irony monad whilst double-checking the list of archetypal bigots that'd promoted a similarly distorted view. Lothrop Stoddard is another candidate. Choose your monster. Pretty much any politician appropriating Nietzsche qualifies.
