      that was an interesting thread to read actually. I found myself sympathetic to everyone's points, but it felt a lot like they were talking past each other, probably intentionally. The article that journo-sophist linked to had an inelegantly written passage for sure though.

      I find far too frequently that what is really getting criticized is just sloppy writing and like, not putting the right citations in the right places. When reading about politically charged topics it helps a lot to have it all right there.

          the other interesting part of that convo is the lack of anyone going out on a limb to hypothesize the causative factor underlying the clearly measured correlative statistics. they're all too afraid of being called bigots to even attempt to reason about the observations.

          well, I guess Wesley through a couple out there. Lead poisoning or poverty or whatever. All very vague though and he's got a pedestal that lets him speculate where the other conversation partners can't/won't.

          in NYC this week there was just a really big fire in an apartment building in The Bronx. the cause is said to have been an unsupervised child playing with the kitchen stove, and then the residents leaving the apartment door opening so it spread to the stairwell.

          12 people died, the most lethal fire here in a long time. That's a preventable cause of deaths too, a lot like crime. At least we feel like we can prevent it even if in practice it's not so simple. The building was in a neighborhood with the demographics they're all taking about.

          It's really a tragedy. Shouldn't have happened. You know the living conditions create a kind of psychic malaise that leads to all kinds of bad shit. High crime and unsupervised children are both symptoms of the malaise I think.
