How can we reconcile the idea that Eugenics in Humans is bad, but in Dogs it's acceptable (given the 150 years of breeds with specific characteristics)?

  • Because humans haven't been selectively bred for specific traits.

  • Because dog breeds are not comparable to genetic differences in humans. They've been actively bred for certain characteristics, going through a lot of generations extremely fast in controlled environments in a way that's impossible in nature. All humans are essentially mongrels. The reason we don't do racial classification of personality traits in humans isn't just because it's morally abhorrent, but also because it doesn't work, while because of the selective breeding of dogs, there can be big differences in their behaviour due to their breed.

    It's also important that while a dog's breed does have an influence on it's behaviour, it's not absolute, and you can't actually predict a dog's behaviour through its breed alone.

    • Nearly Half of Unhoused People are Employed

  • Drawing on a study produced by the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago, Pagaduan reported that 53 percent of the sheltered unhoused population and 40 percent of the unsheltered unhoused population were employed either part- or full-time from 2011 to 2018.

    Literally the second sentence of the article.

  • Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it's too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we're getting those who didn't manage to escape the draft. You'll laugh at this, but some of our marines can't even swim.

    Harrowing stuff, I can't even imagine being put into a situation like this against your will.

    I'm starting to doubt if Zelensky is gonna last another year. He's seems to be getting more and more criticism, from higher up the chain of command too. I guess that's unavoidable as the war goes on, but his response is always to claim it isn't true and keep begging nato for bigger guns, which I can't imagine is great at placating unrest.

    • Neocon media now openly admits that western capitalism is crumbling

  • Baroness Helena Morrissey is a member of the House of Lords. She has worked in financial services for more than 30 years.

    Yeah, this person seems normal and trustworthy.

    • Nobel Prizes are a sham and super Anglo and Eurocentric

    Jump

  • It's a complete sham price. Even other Europeans have criticized it for being to Sweden-centric.

    Along with the obvious pro-European cultural bias, how is a comittee of 18 Swedes supposed to judge texts from all languages in the world fairly? Anything you can read untranslated is gonna have a huge advantadge.
