It's about hierarchy. "Beauty" is subjective, the idea of a black woman portraying the most beautiful woman in the world offends them because white people are supposed to be the most beautiful and it is therefore offensive, it's so straightforwardly racist bsky.app/profile/radl...
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

“The Times story casts a legal movement that is repealing Civil Rights era reforms as one committed to anti-discrimination. In reality, this is a white supremacist movement, intent on strengthening its advantage by destroying policies that led to the integration of American organisations”
I wrote about the New York Times refusing to call Neo-segregationists by their true names, the DARVO style of writing about race, and some great articles and books I read this week.

There is a very similar pattern for Black over-representation in the military, which is often the employer of last resort in a society with rampant labor market discrimination keeping folks out of other jobs.

Among the priceless bits of cultural exposure I had at the Kennedy Center, my mind immediately leaps Arthur Miller’s 2001 NEA speech “On Acting and the Art of Politics” which posits that races are won by who seems the most in-character at all times + how entertainment & politics intersect
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Once again: they cannot simply announce this in a press conference. They would need to change the laws, which the majority of parents in Florida oppose.

And Epstein was an explicit eugenicist! Even in the (unlikely) scenario that the academics writing him chummy emails didn't know about the pedophilia charges, they were seeking funding because they thought their work aligned with his interests, which were monstrous.
![Interest in eugenics and transhumanism
Beginning in the early-2000s Epstein developed an interest in "improving" the human race through genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, including using his own sperm. He addressed the scientific community at various events and occasions and communicated his fascination with eugenics.[395] It was reported in 2019 that Epstein had planned to "seed the human race with his DNA" by impregnating up to 20 women using his New Mexico compound as a "baby ranch", where mothers would give birth to his offspring. He was an advocate of cryonics and his idiosyncratic version of transhumanism, and said he intended to have his penis and head frozen.[396][397]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreihfds2jlov6hsb55by7mcfhiwmeezfwxomjnkwt7r7ouhltj2v7ue@jpeg)

Today, I had an in person interview for a job where previously I’d done a LLM agent q&a. The agent told me multiple positions existed that did not during this process. Now, 2wks later my real interviewer explained I shouldn’t even be eligible for the role & that the LLM was constantly screwing up
