Whenever I talk to most people, they make me feel human. Whenever I talk to an intersectional, they make me feel brown.

This is it, man. This is the key. I always ask, 'What's the world I want to live in?' And 'intersectionality', etc., point away from it.

King's 'content of character, not colour of skin' is the entire point. People are people are people.

Exactly, Carnun. Both the far-left and the far-right want to make skin colour the defining feature of human beings.

How so? What I see is a lack of conditional independence where there should be. Think it's a straw man you're attacking.

The world will get there by treating people as individuals, not as members of a racial group.

That's coarse graining! If level of policy gains nothing from specifying the tree to a greater depth,then pointless waste of energy to do so

Coarse-graining is a flashy analogy, but a false one. We're talking about people, not atoms. And people are naturally tribalist, and need to be prevented from becoming too tribal so they don't slaughter each other. Intersectionality entrenches racial divisions - and prejudices.

Not at all false. Predicting means you can scale the level of precision with which you specify detail. Often counterproductive 2 overspecify
