How come you guys hate on fat people so much?
Being skinny is just as bad as being fat.

I didn't say it was, but the claim that "black people run faster" is not a claim of causation in the first place.
you don't really believe that most people think in those terms, though, do you? i would argue most people are making the causative claim i don't have the numbers, but have you spoke to people about this?

Black people, when aggregated, tend to be faster because of differences in bone density and limb length which shifts the centre of gravity. what does that have to do with blackness are dense bones and lengthy limbs an inherent black trait? is correlation = causation? i don't think so if you put white men in the same environment as blacks have historically been for hundreds generations, i guarantee they'd evolve the same way

The value in your life is the amount of time you spent happy.
Fuck personal gratification.

I don't really know what you mean, to be honest. Of course stereotypes and social prejudices can arise from objective and empirical realities. while they can, they don't always "black people run faster" is a baseless stereotype with no ground to stand on you have to objectively show, through genetics, that there is a "black gene" that is exclusive to black people that allows them to be more athletic you aren't gonna be able to find it, because it doesn't exist

Not being genetic =/= being socially constructed. the point is that if it weren't a social construct, stereotypes such as "black men run faster" wouldn't exist black kenyans aren't fast because they're black they're fast because their ancestors had to have the right genetics to survive, and they passed them down they just happened to be black, as a result of their environment but it certainly doesn't mean that black = athletic it's a social construct

Also, race is not a social concept.
i agree--it's a social constructthere is nothing that would genetically identify you as "white" (that we've seen so far)

Actually, define "intrinsic". we're not contriving it it's innate in reality "suffering sucks"--it's written in stone who wrote it? who cares it happens, and it's the #1 reason why all actions take place in the universe, whether people realize that or not that might be worth putting up there

there is nothing intrinsically "male" or "female"--it's all in our heads Can you name me a single thing which is intrinsic?
suffering the sentient being's capacity to suffer is the only thing that has any intrinsic value such that all other values are derived from it it is the end value

While everyone is scared of nukes - only US has used that weapon on civilians. Twice.
i don't think anyone denies that history

however, i will put that gender (as opposed to sex) is a meaningless social construct
I take issue with that. The fact that something is socially constructed doesn't make it meaningless, and there is still evidence which suggests gender is at least partially innate.
it's a corollary to a previous truth statement made 99.99% of all notions of value are projections of value--not intrinsic value there is nothing intrinsically "male" or "female"--it's all in our heads

Religious organizations can be highly manipulative
Most Americans are highly influenced by propaganda
Mainstream American media is a terrible place to go for information
1. kinda goes in tandem with #1 2 & 3. most people aren't american i see where you're coming from, and i agree with everything you said, but i don't think they quite belong on the ilst

I stand by my statement
Box > Game > Miscellaneous goodies
do you hold some boxes with higher regard than others? like, maybe it's a bigger box or one that has cool artwork on it i might've asked that before, but i'm sorry, it's just so... oddly amusing

The best part of Collector's Editions are the boxes.

I don't know if that's necessarily a fact yet. We still hold old guys like Socrates and Plato with reverence.
