why is it bad
racism against black people is appropriate insofar as black people behave badly. highly intelligent people only do as much of it as necessary and are generally far more level headed about racism than other social groups

its not bad racism advication. some racism is necessary for benefiting society. you might be fine with intelligent socialized blacks being your neighbor and thats fine, but youd also profile one with suboptimal skin health and tattooed arms in your neighborhood wouldnt you, despite otherwise knowing nothing else about him? and this is quantifiable and rationally debatable ergo relevant to sci. dont lie to yourself anon racism is part of societal reality.

If you're okay with intelligent blacks as your neighbor, you probably aren't a racist. At that point you're profiling character, not race. The tattoos are an indicator of a mental state, thus you're looking at signs of the person's character. Anyway, as I said, I don't want a /pol/ debate. They are the least fun thing on this entire website. I don't know why you people are so insistent to discuss your views on race. I simply do not care. I am curious about Witten's views because of who he is and his position in society--that's different.

I actually met him after he did a talk at my school's physics department years ago. I asked him for a selfie and he almost said no, but then he said "yes" mid "no". He asked about research, seemed nice enough.

Weinstein talking about how the Wittens and the DeWitts were the two ‘major families’ in government-contracted physics work in the late 20th century regarding things like anti-gravity and electrogravitics is completely fucking insane. All those stories about how the department of energy and associated contracted companies working on nuclear secrets were hoarding all the greatest physicists, with the modern stagnation by theoreticians being heralded by these same people around the same time through String Theory, is a completely bonkers story which no one besides Eric has even touched upon despite the hugeness of the story even if it has an infinitesimal chance of being true.

What they could be covering up through String Theory, I have no idea. Weinstein seems to indicate it’s something regarding secret general relativity work on the engineering of space-time for military occupations, UFO type shit, although that’s completely conspiratorially brained (I wouldn’t be surprised, though).
