2/10, they fucking suck. The only reason it gets a 2 is because I'm not dead yet and I have very broad shoulders that I like. Seriously though, they suck ass. I'm likely gonna be bald before I'm oh idk 21. My knees are all fucked. I've got stomach issues. My ankles are fucky. I'm high risk for heart disease, wtf, boo, I shouldn't have to worry about cholesterol when I'm this young. I look like I'm 40. I'm almost half that old.

    I know it’s a bit but uh. Self-deprecating race science in the “non-traditional direction” is still race science. “European geneti subordinance” still enforces racial hierarchy.

    “Non-racial” human genetic diversity outweighs most of not all “racial” genetic components in defining an individual, and genetics on their own do not account for all that ails us.

    Western society has been so consumed by genetic determinism since Darwin and again especially since EO Wilson. For anyone interested I strongly recommend checking out Dick Lewontin’s writing, who’s a retired (Marxist) geneticist from Harvard. Here’s a lecture that was also turned into a book: https://youtu.be/Z2c3CNhUIQQ

      Oh yeah ofc it's total BS, genetics is way way beyond race science in terms of complexity, race doesn't really show much tbh, and a ton of things are more nurture than nature
