It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Seeing the purposely inserted race science innuendo: "see! They took great care to not be racist! It's everyone else making it racist!"
Sam Harris podcast episode on it was called “Forbidden Knowledge”

I hate Sam Harris. I think mainly because I used to like him in my 20s when I didn't know better.
Honestly I was the same in my 20s
He's a classic pseudo-intelectual
When you are saying that intelligence is mostly genetically heritable and that black people have hereditarily lower intelligence, but you aren't saying they are genetically inferior or anything racist like that 
The authors imply some sicko shit beyond this, but "black people are genetically inferior" is plainly what the text says in overt fashion.
"The Bell Curve" is bad, but one thing people genuinely get wrong a lot is that "heritability" doesn't necessarily mean "passes through genes". Your economic class is "heritable" since you usually get it from your parents, after all.
Environment is also highly heritable and yet he pits the two factors against each other.
I don't understand why people tweet things. Is this a single bit of an ongoing conversation? Did he just learn what The Bell Curve is and crack off? Who is this message intended for, and what is it intended to say to them?
I have idle thoughts too, but I've never felt an urge to broadcast them.
That's literally what Twitter is all about and why it's so unhinged. The only other aspect is reacting if the to of your head to somebody else's idle thoughts.
Who is this? Is he a failed YouTuber or something? That’s even sadder than being a failed Hollywood actor with the bar being so low to become a content creator.
failed autism influencer/"lifecoach" a less successful version of their buddy, the "actually autistic coach", but equally lacking in any actual mental health training
Failed hollywood actor can at least join the christian cinema circuit
Something that really frustrates me as a writer is that we spend so much time on our words yet people misinterpret what we say or don’t even bother to read them at all.
🤣 the person who didn't bother to read the bell curve, wow, what a ride
Shawn or hbomb or someone did a pretty good takedown of the book iirc
I know Shaun did, not sure if hbomberguy did too. Link for anyone curious.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
This video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GgZFGgJlAsk is also fantastic

New site tagline just dropped.
"I need you to understand something. I am a real person, and I am sobbing while eating my dinner because I am tired of people calling me racist."
I'm giving my kid a cellphone because I want them to have a headstart in bullying chuds.
