En mécanique quantique je ne suis pas sûr que ça resolve grand chose, en gros il faut accepter qu'il y ait des corrélations à distance sans explication causale... Mais je suis à peu près sûr que ça a déjà été envisagé

Comme théorie de la causalité? J'adhère plutôt, mais non je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'écrire là-dessus

Ne faut-il pas distinguer 1) si une technologie offre des bénéfices en temps/pénibilité pour certaines tâches et 2) comment sont redistribués ces bénéfices ? Il me semble que la machine à laver offre de tels bénéfices, même s'ils sont mal redistribués. Pour l'AI je suis beaucoup plus sceptique.

L'exemple est maladroit, et les réactions l'attestent.

I'm ok with "racism is dumb", not with "scientific racists think skin color makes you not smart lol". But we've already talked too much about this, have a good day

Nope, but I won't get my point across apparently. Have a good night

That's not it. I don't care about the racists, I'm worried about the people who will find *your* arguments against them so bad that they'll start listening to them more seriously, because it's something I've seen before. But don't bother I get it it feels good to just say they're so dumb

I agree with all these sentences. The post quoted in the OP is a caricature.

Look, I'm not saying we should have endless debates about their views and give them a platform. But the original post is just too far from just expressing their dumb view to mean anything

Maybe there's something in between the two. Why do you need to caricature them to prove they're dumb, explain to me?

No, my theory is we should explain better why they're dumb. "Haha they believe tan has to do with intelligence" is not it. You're making it too easy for them

Ok, let's give all the dumb people an opportunity to feel smart when they fall for racism then

My unpopular opinion: caricaturing the racists in this way is a dangerous game. Some people fall for racism the day they discover it can be slightly more sophisticated than what they were told it was.
apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

The point is better made here. The quoted post is a straw man
