I’ve taught mathematics at community colleges for over 20 years and I’m absolutely convinced that not all people can learn algebra or calculus.

It's obviously genetic, says the mathemetician.

I tried once to ask reddit's Anthropologists about what cultural artifacts are affected by genetics e.g. how lactose intolerance can affect a local culture. The question was apparently racist and then taken down.

I once asked an obvious lead in to a racist argument and was called a racist. It must be a conspiracy.

You write web servers that need more boxes and serve less traffic than was standard 10 years ago. Why would anyone listen to you on any topic.

    Genetics matters, if you have ape genetics you should be treated with dignity and respect. If you have the genetics of coronavirus not so much.

    Edit: Ok to actually put on my stemlord hat, sure some day we may learn certain genotypes have a predisposition to learn better when using strategy a vs b or whatever... but we are so far away from making any such claims, not to mention we need to level the playfield with a little communism before we can really make fair assessments (and the actual implementation of policy no matter how fair the scientific foundation would of course be poisoned from the getgo under capitalism)

      In U.S, coronavirus genetics gets you better treatment than ape genetics. You are free to replicate as much as you want without worrying about money.
