That's a straw man even for the far-left ideologues. Their entire arguments are contingent on certain races being different from other races and their thought patterns being mutually exclusive to one another by the virtue of being of different races. Far right & far left: Tweedledee & Tweedledum.

The most reasonable judgment for each person would be on an individual basis, but that slips past too many. Besides, there no such thing as pure white or pure black or any pure-race person by genetics. Neither side has been willing to cross the limbo of individual genome sequencing, akin to 23andme, and comparing that to things like IQ and """oppression.""" That's to say that lot of whites have a lot of non-white lineage.

A more proper test would be to see if genetic purity correlates with IQ. Does a person with higher African heritage have lower IQ? Do Asian genetics do the opposite? Seems like something an opt-in study could accomplish with people who are already paying for the genome sequencing.

Africa has been modernizing at a pretty breakneck pace. It's not the "starving children in Africa" kind of place we have some vague recollection of from our childhood anymore. They're coming up fast in the world. It'll probably be totally unrecognizable by the time we're old and faint.

Think of a kid born in the 1870s. Grow up before the light bulb is even in use, then die some time in the 1940s in a world with cars, radio, mechanized war machines that fight the sky, antibiotics, home-use refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and, of course, The Bomb. Shit goes quickly.

Don't get me wrong, he was really shit-tier for a really long time. I don't know when it started, but he got pretty self-aware at some point and stopped stopped using his formula of screaming into the mic and being LoLzSoRaNdUmB. I'm told it was around the same time Dunkey called him out in his video pointing out the cancer among YouTube gamers:

Then, there was the whole Wall Street Journal smear, after which he started talking about real shit and adult themes like money, life choices, and fake personas, though really, I subbed to him just to spite the SJWs at the WSJ. He's a cool guy who uses his power and money more responsibly than a lot of people would in his position. I don't really watch his videos right now, but I'd totally be down to hang out with him and chug a couple beers.

Every form of recreation is a waste of time. The benefits of recreation come in the form of stress reduction, which promotes emotional and cognitive stability.

Meditation is essentially the same as diving face-down onto your bed and laying there in refreshing silence after a long, loud, hot, stressful day. There doesn't need to be a science to it. Some people do it, some people don't. Just do what feels right to you without giving yourself undue stress.
