  1. You could have white & male privelege, and also be developmentally & socieconomically unpriveleged, which leads you to work in mcdonalds White privelege in the job market specifically would be like: Like less barriers in top levels in companies, more likely to get a call back due to your name, people will assume you are a 'cultural fit' much more easily, better access to networks of white people (due to in-group preferences). That being said, being white won't get you to the top automatically, but there are subtle priveleges that you do get. If you work at mcd while older, there is socieconomic and maybe IQ/developmental challenges at play. The privelege isnt white = automatically rich lol. That is way too reductive Applies to men, and straight ppl too Im not criticizing you tbh, just pointing out some blindspots
  2. @SwiftQuill Ignoring data is a huge mistake. They're not perfect, but they include a lot of valuable info At the end of the day, you need data for your "white males are the real ones oppressed". Is your data for this claim even higher quality than what comes from scientific studies? Id recommend that you steelman science and have a high quality opinion of it instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Your opinion leans way more emotional than truth and quality based
  3. @SwiftQuill You never responded to my comment from before, that showed 25% of top companies discriminate against black people with statistical significance Whats your thoughts on that, and how much action should be taken on that, if any? I noticed you quite passionate about being anti-dei, because of discrimination. I wonder if it stops there however, when it's non white people affected? My 2nd question is, if your pursuit to destroy wokeness is wise, considering battling racism is not on the right wings agenda? If there is no left wing, and right wings purpose is to destroy the left... coupled with the fact of little to no concern for racism on the right -> do you think racism gets better or worse?
  4. I get you bro fr. Did you see this study?: https://bfi.uchicago.edu/working-paper/systemic-discrimination-among-large-u-s-employers/ "Contact gaps are highly concentrated in particular companies, with firms in the top quintile of racial discrimination responsible for nearly half of lost contacts to Black applicants in the experiment. Controlling false discovery rates to the 5% level, 23 [of the largest 108 companies] individual companies are found to discriminate against Black applicants. Our findings establish that systemic illegal discrimination is concentrated among a select set of large employers, many of which can be identified with high confidence using large scale inference methods." did you see this shit?? are you ready to fight with me?! are we still on the same page?? no? not anymore??
  5. @SwiftQuill a lot of right wing parties around the world are gleaning from trumps playbook because it was shown to work here, that's why I mentioned trump
  6. when you gauge the success of their policies in your country over the next few years make sure to use very high quality external sources. if they are like trump, they will say they are "winning" regardless of how bad they are doing, so be careful of getting the data from the party themselves, it will be very biased.
  7. Isnt this better correlated with more conservative cultures, in general? I'm sure there are better explanations for women covering up than it being due to having more rapists
  8. I agree with aurum here. You might have to gently nudge them in the right direction. Like bring up a small contemplative question and see how they respond It seems more of a emotional & social approach
  9. Scotthyoung has a lot of techniques on learning languages. he teaches a lot on the meta of learning how to learn but has good info on language learning specifically as well
  10. @Rishabh R congrats!!!!!!!
  11. how would you utilize 7 habits so that it benefits your life?
  12. fr? which study are you referring to id imagine race/sex plays a significant factor as an initial assumption
  13. i always hear stuff about the competing in women's sports thing and 80 genders and stuff but idk how central to the movement that is? it's a very small aspect from my vantage point, like <1% of lgtbq issues in general? like i only ever hear it from right-wing people making fun of lgtbq issues. it's such a small thing. i think there were only a handful of athletes or something? i forget the number, like in the NCAA for example, there are 500,000 athletes and 10 of them were trans lmao. that's .002% of athletes lmao, close to 0 i don't know the issue here actually, it seems like propoganda used to create division and problems for political power
  14. isn't that just a trauma response lol
  15. According to him, his youtube channel is a funnel for finding business to invest in. His main business is investing in other businesses - i think he has a portfolio of like 20 companies if i remember correctly. He doesn't sell marketing courses
  16. The right plays identity politics though. Elon musks twitter feed has a ton of propoganda about how white people are oppressed. Like right wing is pro white, straight and pro men. Id be okay with that but it also veers into anti immigrant and anti minority, anti lgtbq and anti women But that's just the nature of right wingers right? If they were pro the latter stuff they wouldn't be right wing
  17. Awesome realization I had something similar this year 😂😂
  18. The opposite is also true If self development goes spiritual then it goes manic/horrifying Ive seen it happen first hand to someone ik
  19. @Leo Gura whats his motive? Is he just dumb or is it sinister?
  20. it has too much power and has the potential to be a dangerous force bc of its power. currently its exerting a lot of pressure onto politics
  21. yeah the current models have improved significantly actually im surprised. like compared to when gpt3.5 came out and now it's a world of difference. still maybe 2-3 years to go but it's definitely not useless anymore like it was when it first came out
  22. all the soft skills you learn will be used at the very least. networking and group-work, study strategies like prioritization or time management, problem solving and critical thinking. the degree and gpa also highly contribute to a good future as well. so what you're doing right now is extremely critical for a good future. and some technical information you learn, will be used in the real world as well. some classes more than others, but some - a lot of it will come up again. you can also find ways to make the process enjoyable. for example, you can use the classes as an opportunity to teach it to others and help others (which is a valuable skill and also a form of active learning (Feynman method) so will help you on exams). or you can challenge yourself to develop your productivity skills, which is a non-negotiable skill for life. also drawing on your big picture goal through visualization and contemplation can generate motivation which you should continuously recall
  23. the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice
