I am watching with utter astonishment the orgiastic focus on identity politics specifically race issues when addressing EVERY possible story. It is as though the West has just been liberated from the most intolerant, genocidal apartheid regime last Tuesday. EVERY topic in
art, science, politics, literature, acting, voting, nutrition, COVID, climate change, poverty, interpersonal dynamics, marriage, gardening, the outdoors, and countless other topics are infused with race, race, race, race, race, race, race. It is tragic. It is self-induced. It
is the most hysterical form of a faux-moral panic. Most people irrespective of their race are not rabid racists running around hating on others. The West is the most tolerant society that the world has ever known. We are committing collective suicide. Drop the division.
Promote individual dignity. Judge people by the totality of their individual merits and flaws. Reject judgments rooted in collective immutable traits. FFS, this is not so hard to understand. We conquered institutional bigotry. You are fighting unicorn monsters.

Cast a vote in a democracy => Photo ID is worse than Jim Crow. It’s a way to implement white supremacy.
Let me tag my hero Unifying Man of Science @joebiden who compares the requiring of photo IDs when voting to bruh the Holocaust. Only Nazis would impose such a requirement.
As someone who has been a professor for nearly 27 years, I cannot stress the extraordinary variance in terms of the quality of research that is produced in academia. Some "research" would receive a FAIL in my undergraduate class. Quality control is sorely lacking in academia.
A lot of the BS (as I explain in The Parasitic Mind) stems from the position that the scientific method (with its pesky data) is only one way of understanding the world. Hence, you can generate an auto-ethnography of your thoughts whilst looking at the mirror and voila PhD! Or
you could have a chat with a few people and report passages from these, and voila doctor! No hypothesis testing. No data analyses. No inferential statistics. No nothing. This anti-science nihilism is something that I was first exposed to as a graduate student. It has only
Next on @CNN: How golf has a white supremacy problem. Stay tuned at 4:00 pm when we discuss bigotry in surfing. At 4:45 pm, Castrato @donlemon will explain why the Olympics are a hotbed of insurrectionists. At 6:00 pm, Naturally Lobotomized @ChrisCuomo reports on KKK
infiltration at public swimming pools. At 7:00 pm, we'll be joined by Noble Victim @KingJames who will explain why he is retiring (because he is afraid to be hunted down in the streets). At 8:00 pm, Noble Faux-Victim @JussieSmollett will be interviewed by @andersoncooper about
how Justice Kavanaugh held him in a cabin in Vermont and gang raped him with his posse of white supremacists. Don't forget that at 9:00 pm, we have a town hall meeting with @drsanjaygupta on the neurological effects of whiteness. Finally, at 10:00 pm, don't miss our special on
Dear @joebiden and @KamalaHarris. Here is some data on race-based breakdowns of violent crimes in the US from the US government: bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…. I'd like to post Table 14 for your perusal.
You proclaim that the Atlanta shootings were due to anti-Asian hate by a white supremacist (it's not). Well, the table shows that 24.1% of violent incidents committed against Asian-Americans were by whites while 27.5% were committed by blacks. Given that whites constitute roughly
roughly six times the population of blacks in the US, the per capita adjustment is astounding in terms of blacks being the much larger perpetrators of violent crimes against Asian-Americans. Now I know that data are racist and that math is a form of white supremacy so I was
Dear @VP / @KamalaHarris, in your speech today, you linked the US government's Chinese exclusion laws (e.g., from owning land in the 19th century), and the internment of Japanese-Americans by the US government in the 20th century to the Atlanta shooting of a few days ago.
This is either astoundingly ignorant or diabolical in its duplicity. The first two cases are instances of institutional bigotry by the system (hence systemic racism is correct here). The latter is NOT linked to racial hate and it is the act of a singular criminal mind.
The extent to which you are sowing division will be considered a grave crime on the fabric of your country by future historians. If you were a true leader, you would never espouse such flippantly false comparisons. You truly have no shame. BTW, you were one of my fans when I
