Apparently there was a team of hunters, not him alone, that collected those 11,400 specimens. Figures. Still, what a man!
He gave a drunk speech once where he said “I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are the dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are”. As an Indian myself (dot, not powwow), I take grave offense.
- ethbr1 3y agoAs an Indian yourself, is "dot, not powwow" (I've also heard 'not feather') offensive for (Asian) Indians? I've always assumed so... but maybe notsomuch?
- profsummergig 3y agoNot offensive at all (to me anyway [2]). We gotta lighten up. Let's enjoy our differences. The past was a different time with its own mores. Taleb's "Anachronistic Fallacy" [1] Also: my private thoughts would put me in jail thousands of times over. Crimes of passion have fewer penalties than pre-planned ones. So I choose to forgive what people say when they're drunk. [1] https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1013828722783383553?lang=en https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1013828722783383553?lang=...
