I watched Anomaly's video "Conformity in the Cathedral," about how American universities have become centers for elite indoctrination, rather than places of free inquiry. Good to see some universities in the world still host interesting thinkers.
This video is a good complement to Anomaly's book, Creating Future People: the science and ethics of genetic enhancement. What I like about the video and the book is that he asks provocative questions but leaves it for the audience to decide which way we should go.
There’s a lot more determinism involved than people like to admit. I believe we have to maintain an illusion of free will for various beneficial reasons. In many regards, I don’t think we have much choice to do otherwise given our consciousness
Natural inequalities are an inevitable consequence of the evolutionary process. Without genetic inequality, there's nothing for natural selection to select on. This is especially true for individuals -- inequality in height, immune system, intelligence, personality traits, etc. And it's also true for groups, when they are isolated for long enough. The blank slate is literally incompatible with evolution by natural selection, and genetic inequalities are directly implied by evolution by natural selection.
Sounds like you're projecting. Rather than evaluate arguments, you attack the person in vague terms. Go back to your mosque or university and worship the false Gods of Mohammad or Marx.
An articulate teacher with spot on topics...our institutions need to get up to speed on these ideas!

Nice and great video 📃 🌏
Good start- but very dishonest to only show the negatives of blank-slate theories and not of those that purport natural inequalities.

He's fixed on his beliefs and will manipulate any quote or data to prove them. Wouldn't trust a word he says.
