Not that much but racism was/is deeply ingrained, but less talked about. However, when Merkel opened the borders to help out millions of Syrians, a clear shift to the right happened, also affecting other European countries. Progressive indigenous policies in NZ under Jacinda had similar consequences

The anonymity of social media might be contributing. And the tendency to counteract when things change, perceivably not in one’s own interest. The empowerment of women is feared to disadvantage (white) men; the response to Obama was overt racism/Trump. It’s very similar in Europe and New Zealand.

Awful. I grew up in Germany, and although I’m sure there were plenty of men in the 80s that thought that way, it seemed not mainstream at all. Do you think it is getting more mainstream in the States/Texas or has always been that level since when we grew up?

Congratulations how amazing

Hi Emily, I am one of the last gen Xes, and though our generation has many problems, many still have values against racism, pro-women, and for action against climate change. I cannot recall wide-spread pro-rape messages like ‘women are property’ which circulate on social among young men- worrying.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

How exciting these ideas of Miller et al. (& how many new questions they raise):

“This new perspective is part of mounting evidence that the neural basis of cognition is not continuous.”
“What we are proposing is the infrastructure by which volition acts.”

Daily attempts of bribing with wriggly worms to learn the secret of how to grow brain cells remain unsuccessful but I’ll stay on it for science sake.

The unimpressed look of the cat 👀 😂

I don’t want to imagine this future- adulting sucks

Here to learn! 😅
