DEI policies are symptoms of a deeper domestic issues combined with a different world that has moved on from 19th century problems and early 20th century underdevelopment.
Even if the management changes, rest of the world will refuse to deal with the United States the same way as before, and different problems will crop up with same roots in place. Some euroglows stated that United States is a declining power either way, and it's obvious from the results of last several years that this will be the case unless people start seeing things very differently to deal with domestic issues.
1st world nations that are highly developed and educated do not suffer from third world problems.

Technically, the center of the universe is wherever you happen to be... So in that sense, they were all right - save for the flat earth thing, but I don't think any scholarly circle was ever stupid enough to actually write that down, until today.

This is not an argument. It would only be valid if groids were less than 61% similar to us. All you've shown here is that tiny differences in DNA make MASSIVE differences between organisms.

>But on the flip side they have less civilization and academic development than the Africans who are supposed to have more Chimpanzee DNA than any other population on earth. Which actually makes Africans closer to non-Aboriginal Australians and non-Inuit Eskimos development wise.
Australia is a wasteland, but Africa is the most resource rich continent. There, I've come up with a rebuttal.

Did you know that they've found that European populations have a higher frequency of alleles positively associated with intelligence than African populations? Despite that, within the reaches of their power, they attempted to entirely ban such research. But, as always, the truth prevails. Down with your ideologically driven pseudoscience! It's extremely, extremely unlikely that all populations had an equal evolutionary pressure towards intelligence, despite evolving in entirely different ecologies for thousands of years; it's utterly ludicrous. You guys literally banish intellectuals for investigating this sort of thing. You're not the good guys here; history will not paint you in a good light. The commies pushed pseudoscience, so it should be no surprise that you'll try it too.

It was social sciences, what did you expect? And they had to be fully aware of the inevitable blowback. They wanted headlines and they got it. In more informal fora, far away from the chattering classes, people agreed that people in the west end look better than those in the east end. Not surpringly, people in the west end also tend to wear tighter clothes, plenty of spandex active weasr to be seen.

It's just two different strategies. One survives through great utility to the herd, the other through maximizing physical fitness to the environment/disease, etc. Think about the deeper reasons behind human differences instead of focusing on the superficial.

I started my public school years being placed into special education classes due to my diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. That was until my mother demanded the school board to place me into mainstream education because I told her that I felt the special education I was receiving was inferior compared to the mainstream education all of the other kids were getting. I didn't even know I was autistic. I felt stupid and my mother was never going to tell me about my diagnosis because she thought I would have given up on life if she told me the truth.

Now looking back on my primary and secondary school years I never belonged in a mainstream school setting. I was mediocre in the majority of my classes which resulted in a mediocre gpa. The teachers and counselors were right.

As an adult I have no social, employment or educational prospects. I never had those things since the beginning. I'm waiting until I get my monthly SSI check and I'm still rotting at home.

I have been taking a remedial basic mathematics course for 2 months but now I'm asking myself what's the point? I never put any effort into math so why take math seriously now in my early 20's when people like Terence Tao and asian students mog me on social media?

There's no job opportunity for me so why even bother studying for a timed test or meet due dates? I don't even belong in college and no one wants to teach adults basic math skills that you were suppose to learn and hold onto as a kid.

Not true. We are all dealt a hand of cards when we are born, people on the spectrum are dealt cards from a diffent set. You just have to play to your strength.

You don't describe yourself in detail, but one of the cliched features of someone on teh spectru is the ability and even drive to dig deeply into details. Ordinary people cannot, they will pick up their smartphone after 15 minutes of attempting to study something. So, as >>16176978 ask, what are your interests? See if you can build a career on something you can feel an interest for.

WAGMI.

Don't beat yourself up over starting late. I'm 22 and just begun my Math bachelor's. It took me 2 years of studying finance and one year of working 14 hours a day with jobs like car washing, UPS and Target to figure what I wanted to do as a career.

You don't have to be distinguished from your pears in order to be happy. If what matters most to you is the imprints you leave behind, your greatest accomplishment will be a tombstone.
