the article does absolutely nothing to back your argument up tho. its just “some unnamed economists say planes and smart phones exist, so stop whining” against statistics and statements from named economists completely at odds with that claim

If I had the funding and discipline I'd pursue a PhD in religious studies and focus on how the particular brand of atheism that sees itself as the final protector of the Enlightenment is best understood as an offshoot of Western Christianity.
Like politics, anyone can (usually) weigh in on religion.
But FWIW: Harvard, where Pinker teaches, also has a divinity school.
It has lots of scholars who study religion for a living.
Pinker isn't one of them — in fact, they've publicly criticized him: www.commonwealmagazine.org/enlightenmen...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.
That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.
