Ok
A) It's not possible to build a machine that knows the absolute truth, that's fundamentally impossible; induction is impossible, and there are hordes (well... dozens?) of Epistemologists concerned with finding and defining the very small corners of knowledge that we _can_ be certain about, such as "a triangle has three sides" or "an orange is an orange".
B) If that angered/interested you, you should look into Standpoint Theory! It's a very interesting discussion on how humans operate with significant bias at all levels of thought, and pretending otherwise is a disservice to science. And this is using "bias" in a very broader sense.
B) Are we allowed to berate/report/etc. ""race realists"" on HN? I know the rules are big on positive interaction, so I hope it's not out of ine to say that's some obvious scared-white-man bullshit that has no place in this community.
