And your reply to what Pexbo said?

Are you people accepting that 1. the black people have higher (empirical crime rate) 2. the black people have (empirical) lower average IQs globally)?

the issue of (A) whether a group has lower IQ/higher crime rate is different from (B) the causes of these differences.

If people don't agree on A's existence there is no need to talk about B.

In any event, if economic factor is the "only" predictor for crimes, it can't explain why some countries (e.g cambodia/laos, etc) were consistently in poverty yet has decently low crime rates.

Argument to what exactly? You just named few statistics without even obvious observation that both the values and the changes have been shrinking for decades and variability within those sets is order of magnitude bigger than any alleged differences between them and cited chatgpt as some sort of proof of suppression of free thought. Claiming that there is empirical data support doesn't magically make it true and without even linking those bloody averages there is nothing to respond to.
Seriously, if you read something on a subject and notice that vast majority of research or overwievs make completely different points, do you just assume that you're the one in the right without any verification?

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

"you people just blindly follow groupthink" is hardly an insult, especially if there is a good probability that it is fact.

Nice to know that if I say that "the United board is an echo chamber tainted with groupthink" I am "insulting" United's board members.

Can you expand on this? Which groups in the west considered weak and poor are "overprivileged"? And in what way is this at the expense of rationality, science and fact?

IMO, all groups perceived to be "weak and poor" in the western world's norms - women, sexual minorities, blacks. I have made it clear now.

You look at the west and identify these groups as the overprivileged sections of society. Really?

Hey Jeff, would you consider yourself a racist?

You conveniently skipped other parts of my reply. Am I "insulting" united board members and being "arrogant" if I think united board are tained by groupthink?

Groupthink happens a lot in every day's organization, neither you nor me are immune to it anyway.

I had too much hope on RedCafe being a place where people can share thinkings and ideas rationally as long as no insults are involved.

Racism, homophobia and misogyny packaged in one post. Incredible

They could be a Dublin taxi driver, they love a bold opening gambit.
 
I can't believe that the women, blacks, and gays got Jeff. :(
 
I love how these people always claim that they’ve been attacked and insulted and nobody engages with them, while they constantly ignore multiple posts giving them every chance to explain themselves further. As if everyone else is just too stupid to see the posts they ignore. The arrogance is stunning.

the unnecessary dwelling on pronouns, the forced DEI to integrate certain groups above their population ratio, affirmative action, misused concept of cultural appropriation, etc, to name a few.

also, the western (white) people love to play nice (IMO, the desire to avoid being called "bastards" or "bigots") and try to deny the fact that certain ethnic groups have (with empirical data's support) different crime rates and different average IQs, or trying to fully attribute both parameters on injustice of criminal system or economic disadvantages. Try ask it on ChatGPT and it just refuses to give an answer.

There is no unnecessary dwelling over anything. The issue is amplified by the right wing press, online/social voices and isn't actually an issue, but is used as a distraction topic to drown out the actual problems that we're facing. You've fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

And it turns out you believe that racism is scientifically alright too?

WASHINGTON—The Biden appointee in charge of the nation’s most treasured documents has over the past year ignited a behind-the-scenes fight over the telling of American history.

U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan and her top advisers at the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates a popular museum on the National Mall, have sought to de-emphasize negative parts of U.S. history. She has ordered the removal of prominent references to such landmark events as the government’s displacement of indigenous tribes and the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II from planned exhibits.

Shogan’s senior aides ordered that a proposed image of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. be cut from a planned “Step Into History” photo booth in the Discovery Center.
The aides proposed using instead images of former President Richard Nixon greeting Elvis Presley and former President Ronald Reagan with baseball player Cal Ripken Jr.

During discussions about what to use instead of the birth-control pill, an aide to Shogan suggested a patent for the bump stock, a device that allows a semiautomatic weapon to operate as a machine gun, according to two former employees.

Ellis Brachman, a senior adviser to Shogan, complained to some employees that they were too woke, according to current and former employees.

Scientific American editor steps down after calling Trump supporters ‘fascists’ and ‘bigoted’
The editor in chief of Scientific American, the US’s oldest magazine, has announced her resignation after a series of online posts in which she called some Donald Trump supporters “fascists” and “bigoted”.

In her since-deleted posts on Bluesky, Helmuth wrote: “Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist. The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself.” She went on to add: “Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because feck them to the moon and back.”

“I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of fecking fascists,” Helmuth continued.
