How so. I simply said, "consider the possibility." Because scientifically. These are possibilities. Realistic ones in fact. I directly picked them for their controversy. I am aware of the direction they run counter to the norms. Are you aware of your biases? Are you aware how inline with cultural norms and biases that your opinions are? At times, many of these things weren't controversial. How do you know that the current thinking is correct? Based off what science? Or is it bias? HN isn't better. It's biased.

The fact that your comment is flagged and dead should give you pause. The fact that it doesn't give you pause should give you pause. The fact that you think I am objecting to your specific assertions rather than the mode of assertions should give you pause. Yet, it seems that self-regards of epistemic superiority is the only unstable fuel you need to travel down a lonely road. Good luck.

  >The fact that your comment is flagged and dead should give you pause. The fact that it doesn't give you pause should give you pause. There is no pause. I KNOW the COST of my beliefs. It is a high cost and your reaction and the flag is a small PART of that cost. I live a life of lies. Externally I believe none of these things and I pretend to be normal just like you. But internally I see darkness everywhere. Keep in mind, I don't care if my beliefs are implemented to make a better world. I could care less. In fact most of the beliefs I hold, I feel if the world knew the truth it would be worse off for everybody. I'm not really an opponent against any group here. >"Yet, it seems that self-regards of epistemic superiority is the only unstable fuel you need to travel down a lonely road." We both know that epistemic superiority is not worth it for any human. You underestimate the sacrifices involved with believing in these things. Nobody makes that choice. I get what your saying but you are disregarding the cost way too much here. A sense of superiority is not reward enough for the price one must pay to believe in these things. I am what I am because I cannot un-believe what I think is true. I have no choice. Can you not believe 1 + 1 = 2? To me the conclusions are inescapable. But of course it could be that I am biased. Biased people do not know they are biased. Whether or not I am biased, I can assure you that I am not where I am by choice. I am where I am because I have no choice. >The fact that you think I am objecting to your specific assertions rather than the mode of assertions should give you pause. This DOES give me pause. Please describe to me in detail what you mean by "Mode."

For one example you might want to consider how Asian males are considered in Latin America as opposed to the US (hint: a lot more desirable)

  Valid info. I have not considered it. Economic status and size are factors in female attraction. Asians are generally higher in economic status, statistically speaking, and latin americans are generally poorer and smaller in size so they are more comparable in stature to East Asians. This makes logical sense to what I already know. However it doesn't invalidate the German Sheppard theory. North Americans are generally larger than East Asians and the wealth gap is not as large. Still all of this is besides the point. Without knowing the latin american thing, my conclusion and theory is valid in terms of the probability of being true. But people dismiss it because of bias, not because of evidence or logic.

    Asians have a more positive image in Latin America because the overwhelming impression is that of Bruce Lee machismo, Peruvian Chinese and Japanese Brazilians and not Hollywood casting

      I don't think that image beats out the Caucasian white male from the US even within Latin America. The hierarchy of the racial dating game is still consistent. Also the situation in the US is not simply false impressions by hollywood casting. Bro, hollywood casting is reactionary to the situation in the states. It's much much deeper than that. Asian females born in the united states... a huge number of them are Racist against their own race. Many date white people, and many refuse to date asian males. This is much more then some false perception. Asian Females have very very in depth and realistic perceptions about asian males given the fact they have Fathers and brothers that they grew up with. The choice they make is done NOT because of false perception projected by hollywood or whatever. You have to get scientific and realistic about this. White people fucking asians easily talk about this behind closed doors, but as an Asian... it's much harder to see reality BECAUSE of IDENTITY.
