      Genetically this is true as well. If you traced everyone's family history up to the archetypical Adam and Eve, people of the same race would be closer in this massive extended family.

      What makes humans uniquely interesting relative to cats is that cats and many other animals show wide physical variance relative to racial genetic code. Cats can vary greatly in physical attributes but are technically the same race.

      Humans on the other hand look relatively similar. Skin color is the major distinction. Facial features are relatively minor and can't be distinguished without a neural network specifically trained on homo sapien features.

      Cats don't care about nose/eye difference that distinguish an oriental from an anglo-saxon just as humans probably can't distinguish cat facial features, instead relying on big obvious traits like size, fur length, color, stripes, etc..

      Another aspect unique to homo sapiens is that they've managed to escape the gravity of genetic evolution in favor of explosive cultural evolution. Though this has granted great technological progress, it also means that different cultures have larger drift.

      Thus you have race correlated with large cultural differences. What one culture considers necessary to punish via death in order to maintain sacred order, another may consider a minor amusement.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1341490825981640705 …

      Holding boundaries can be about irreconcilable differences. e.g. if another culture is eating what is a pet in your culture then... awkward dinner parties... (make it even more awkward with literal Sacredness (cows/Hinduism) and steak culture!) https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/1341189299878854656 …

      Racism is similar to a caste system. It creates "safety nets" above & below. I can relax knowing I can never fall below if I were born a noble If born a peasant, I have an excuse for not trying so hard that isn't "ima be a daoist"https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1333173310612332545?s=20 …

      Have stratification of *any* kind allows one to imagine a better life for themselves AS THEY ARE. E.g. I can imagine myself as a noble, loved for who I AM vs needing plastic surgery, a high IQ, lots of money, etc...

      I suspect for example, that the massive amount of depression in modern times is due to the removal of upward barriers. There are now no excuses to not be a creative genius.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1333173314408247296?s=20 …

      The point is... being able to imagine a better life for yourself while having a convenient excuse for not being in that life(I wasn’t born right) is a source of social stability.

      Now everyone can work hard and be successful as a creative artist expressing the Fundamental Truth of Life. Just like Avicii! You have *no idea* how happy the big music labels and tech companies are to have so much fresh blood.

      Don't listen to this asshole. BE Creative. Born a tofu artisan? Fuck your racist family. That's minimum wage. Learn linear algebra, launch rockets, launch rolling VC funds! Even if you can't you should fake it until you make it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocDli45faiw …

      If you realllyy want to take a shortcut you can seek what the heroes are seeking. Seems to be some spirituality stuff. If I were a skeptical cat I'd be like "wait a sec, all that hard work and life is still meaningness up there?" But trust! Direct elevator is through spirit!

          Anyway I guess what I'm saying is racism is a red herring(tasty!) so get back to work! The free market doesn't expand itself you know. Go get enlightened *after* the new robots arrive to replace you. (2 day shipping!)https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1341269411638886401?s=20 …

          This is the core function of the free market and marketers. They both expand the "Market" by making this magical genie available to more and more people. The more powerful it becomes the more goods it can offer cheaply. IF you can navigate it.
