You’re right that all evil ideologies, from colonialism to religious persecution, share underlying normative features. I was merely commenting on the fact that this particular act of colonialism is, in fact, religious, since the chief justification offered by these genocidal maniacs is religious.

I also want to reiterate that fascism and all religious activity is literally cultism, all rooted in various collective fantasies. We can certainly pull these things apart by getting technical (of course). Kinda beside the point.

Its genocidal ideology is rooted in religious fanaticism.

Incidentally, all fascism works just like religion, except by sanctifying the state with iconography and dogmas of demagoguery and rebirth.

Fascism is a kind of religion, and the organized variety of the latter softens up the population for the former.

Religion is a monstrous evil.

Of children ages 12-17,

• 14.3% have been diagnosed with ADHD.
• Including 17.9% of all boys. (Source)

This data is national, but as you can imagine, there are some schools with fewer diagnoses, and some like the one I mentioned where it’s the norm.

Yes, what isn’t right is that it’s an upper class private middle school full of wealthy parents with access to psychiatrists who are financially motivated to provide a fashionable diagnosis.

It’s also a way to get extra time (accommodations) on standardized tests (time and a half or even double time) which further widens the success gap between rich and poor students.

According to the administration at a school I’m familiar with, at least 50% of the 5th grade class has ADHD.

So, not having ADHD is the disorder.

Second, I will reiterate that this is a completely disingenuous comparison using a chart which has no discernibly legitimate or verifiable source.

It’s extremely easy to check GRE performance by major. It’s not a secret.

By the way, the illiteracy of CS majors is such a well known problem in academia, did you know many universities don’t even require GRE verbal from CS students anymore?

I’d wager I can communicate just fine.

Again, for emphasis, computer scientists are on average the least literate, least well read college graduates by quite a margin.

This is an empirical fact.

Interestingly, your first instinct is to deny reality, an attitude that’s totally alien to me, but then again I’m not a conservative.

Do you read what you write?

cognitive understanding

as opposed to noncognitive understanding? Wtf are you talking about?

Do I have a source for the fact that computer scientists have no specialized training on topics outside of computer science? (In addition to being apparently illiterate on average, which is what their performance on the GRE implies.)

Fascinating question. Have an upvote.

Most computer scientists have very limited expertise, none of which concerns human society. We might as well survey plumbers for their opinions.

Fun fact: did you know that the average CS major scores worse on reading and writing than a business major?

Imagine that level of cognitive decrepitude.

Bananas are a mono-crop. There was a disease in the latter half of the 20th century that threatened all bananas on the planet. A particular strain survived called the Cavendish. It is what you NOW think of as a banana. The candy tastes like the way bananas used to taste.
