Go take a look at where Kenya is located on a map and where Donkey's were first domesticated and tell me that I didn't cover sub-Saharan africa again with a straight face. That first sentence "attempts were largely unsuccessf

That book is so garbage, psudoscientific, empirically wrong, sinophobic, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch. Also lol to it's explanation for no beasts of burden in Africa. Sorry, folks have actually mostly domesticated the zeb

That's because very primitive humans still have a bicameral mind, i.e. things appear to them as auditory hallucinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral_mentality https://en.wikipedia.org/w

The same reason they buy LV, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes. It’s the same reason men buy Rolexes. Also don’t even question it since economic inequality going up means most of the good high end bags or watches out pace inflation!!!

That's some kind of urban joke on 4chan yet the far more objectively cruel act of mass male circumcision at birth happens daily and hardly anyone bats an eye at it. Why have horror movies when real life is all I need? Unironically!

You should see what they say about Male Circumcision (it's great!), water births (bad!), Chiropractors (okay for insurance I guess?), etc Fuck the US medical system and specifically fuck medical ethics researchers who make the american

This is also why I'd reform all types of US Military basic training. It's shocking to see how different the treatment is between standard basic training for US grunts vs for example, the UK. In the UK, the things valued and requir

Significant amounts of the third world are already eating de-facto vegetarian or vegan diets. Many for religious reasons (i.e. in India where the vast majority of people either eat no meat or only chicken/fish), and many others for fin

Humans refuse to use negative utilitarnaistic thinking anywhere else, so why should I have to start now? The logical conclusion of the precautionary principle is literally antinatalism. I assign the probability of extremely good outcomes as

Gary Marcus is perennially wrong/dangerous/stupid, AI is really good, and a pause is terrible for everyone. Sam Altman can be a bad person (ask his sister about him!) and deserves to go down yada yada without us needing to try to

The majority of these kids go back home after getting accused of being CCP agents and are then accused of being puppets of the west back home. They mostly are loyal to the USA and that's why they come here. It's colossally stupid
