The world got a lot more retarded the day retarded people became convinced formatting their retarded thoughts as thesis statements would make them less retarded.

It's scientifically well-established that Tibetans possess genetic adaptations for surviving in high-altitude environments, but we can't talk about all the other more problematic ways human sub-populations might've genetically diverged.

Nor does anybody seem to want to talk about how Australian aboriginals are so divergent from the rest of the population that they probably constitute an entirely separate species within the Homo genus

Spiritually speaking, I'd consider myself an agnostic, but two millennia of history has shown us that Christianity produces the best civilizations across the board. Therefore, I support Christianity remaining the dominant spirituality in the western world.

Traditionally, Christians would go and build missions in foreign lands to spread the word, they did not import foreigners into Christian lands. The church was brought to them, not the other way around.

I'd say Christianity's spiritual framework is dynamic enough to provide a beneficial common morality while not being so culturally stifling that it represses innovators and out-of-the-box thinking. The Vatican's historical role as both an archival guardian of human knowledge and patron of scientific advancement cannot be understated.

Not an endorsement of the current sorry state of the Catholic Church, to be clear. The modern Vatican is a disgrace to its history.

I have no beef with Creationists. I spent many years being an edgy Internet skeptic fedora-tipper who tuned in to watch Thunderf00t own the fundies with facts n' logic, now I look back on all that pointless debatebro circlejerking and cringe.

A lotta Millennial chud uncs (myself included) were fedorabros back in the skeptic era. Then the Great Fedora Brother War happened (Atheism+/GamerGate) and lines were drawn between the skeptics who were willing to question the cult of progressivism and those who weren't, with the former becoming the ur-chuds.

They said it'd be over by E3. They told us it was the debate to end all debates. It ended nothing.

Some of his criticisms were fair, but Protestantism is still a meme. Many of the large prot denominations have been subverted even harder than Catholicism. Orthodox chads are the only Christians still holding the line.

"Fitness" is more accurate than "improvement". Adaptations to fit one specific environment can also sometimes be detrimental. See: sickle cell trait, confers malaria resistance in regions where malaria is a persistent selection catalyst, but also causes debilitating genetic disorder when children are born with two copies of the gene.

Sometimes a virus shows up, infects a germ cell, and ends up as a piece of fossilized viral graffiti in the genome. Usually the viral DNA remains inert, but on at least one occasion a protein originally encoded by an ancient viral drive-by tag got repurposed to help embryos attach to the uterus (Syncytin-1).

There's also some interesting arguments to be made about how certain psychological disorders (psychopathy, bipolar disorder, etc) persist in the population because there were ancestral contexts where selection favored them (a psychopath in the right place becomes a competent Machiavellian political operator, a bipolar individual in certain contexts might become a highly-patronized artist, etc).

Probably. As somebody who has known bipolar individuals, they can have crazy bursts of both productivity and creativity when they're manic, the wealthiest man I know is also a bipolar lunatic. Most of the time somebody born with their wires crossed wrong like that is going to crash and burn, but occasionally they'll find their way into a context where being unhinged in that way plays to their advantage.

I imagine Kanye composed his most popular albums while he was absolutely flying in a manic state. When you're successful this makes you eccentric instead of somebody getting 5150'd by sheriff's deputies in a Walmart parking lot.

Low-level tweakers blaze some crystal and steal copper from construction sites at 3 am, high-level tweakers like him pop dubiously-prescribed addy and enter elaborate options trades in overseas markets at 3 am, which is kinda like stealing copper from construction sites but with an arcane spellbook of jewish financial magic.
