Almost nobody seems very interested in concepts like oppression and privilege in the areas where they most obviously occur: e.g. for children, or on the basis of IQ, physical attractiveness or social adaptabilityhttps://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1309385872349904896 …
Interestingly, the people most obsessed with these ideas seem *more* likely to adopt very weak "blank slate" theories about cognitive ability, think physical attractiveness is entirely socially constructed & attribute social integration challenges to poor "character"
People with an exceptional trifecta of fluid intelligence/generativity, attractiveness & sociability — plus another really critical one, high internal motivation compatible with the particulars of their environment — will almost universally do well in the high-connectivity west.
Nobody thinking sensibly would trade places with a white male who struggles with basic cognitive tasks, isn't fit or attractive, and can't read or respond appropriately to social cues. His only real hope is to be born into a family wealthy enough to keep his head above water.
Because many people have spent a lot of effort into pretending those dimensions don't exist.
Those can’t be addressed with increasing a local acceptance, because they are more than social constructs? Just riffing here.
The woke mob's claims are steadily becoming more outrageous though, hopefully if they trend into those areas the mob's implosion is also soon to follow.
Oppression, vulnerability, and formativity all in the same place? What could go wrong
hard to form compelling social groups on the basis of being dumb, ugly, or awkward :/ the children face a unique challenge which is that everyone ages out of being a child. codename: kids next door was legitimately an interesting meditation on this
oh, and being poor, that's another one. a thought i had once was that it's easier to self-select on the basis of some kind of visible identity the more discrete that identity is. intelligence, beauty, wealth, and social skill are all very continuous, unclear where the cutoffs are
I always thought it’s weird how people look down upon someone’s success if it’s based on their beauty instead of their intellect although both are part of the genetic lottery.
Yeah, "shallowness" is a weird concept. Whether you like me for my brain or body, I did not choose either. Not sure why one is a vice and the other a virtue.
