   If you happen to get a bit into the whole Nazi classification of races (don't, you almost certainly have something better to learn), you'll find that they made a distinction between Germanic "Aryan" types and Slavs.

    I don't get how you can ignore that things have gotten hotter . Like maybe not believing a climate change model that says that by 2050 half of California will be underwater due to rising sea levels, I understand - it's a predicti

    I'm not sure the "life/dinner principle" is always applicable. A cheetah runs faster than a gazelle. And if you consistently fail to catch your dinner, you're probably going to lose your life.

    true, but this does make it seem more probable that microplastics could alter human behavior as well :)

    I think the earth can probably continue to support a few more billion humans, although obviously I'm no expert. I also have a possibly unwarranted faith in humanity's ability to develop new technologies which enable large numbers

    I like to believe consisently making good decisions is also part of success, but I'm not that successful yet. Also, if "luck" is factors outside of your control, having rich parents would count as luck. :)

    I think there's a lot of truth to the quote "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". For top .0001% success in some fields (most sports, for example), you need genetic qualities AND hard work.
