Lol, he doesn’t use his health beliefs. That’s just for peasants. He has real health problems, those that don’t result from laziness.

Lol, indeed.

Edit: Thanks, I unsubbed this feed. Scientific illiterates masturbating over how “objective” their data is.

If they know you are just peaceful you will be ignored. As has already happened in the USA. You don’t understand what I said because you were taught a nonsense history of SA.

Still think this holds up? They dismissed it effortlessly. You are impotent and they know it.

Not understanding stuff, maybe there’s a term for that.

So it’s a global trend based on non-global data carefully selected to leave out anything that doesn’t agree?

I can only laugh at this. “Most important countries”, yes no pattern.

Neurotypical people barely think. They conduct rituals.

Are you concerned that nothing in your reply addresses whether the countries were chosen to support a trend?

If you leave out data that bucks a trend you like, then you are being selective.

A reasonable point, but extremely difficult to square with the claim made by the OP. Also, the rest of Africa exists.

Presenting data is an argument. Because you decide what data to present and how. If you leave out data that doesn’t support a statement you made based on data you present, then there is an issue.

Right, but microscopic European populations are still included because they support the thesis.

There is one African country and nothing from the middle east.

Sure, but only a single African country and none from the middle east.

Quite a selective sample for such a big claim

Any metric will become the goal itself. It always has. In academia, citations became the metric and now we use them to determine good science, without having to actually think. I think it’s a flaw built into the neurotypical (and lots of neurodivergent types too).

Edit: in fact, metrics are the cancer that eats democracies. Anything can be justified by “line go up”.

Otherwise known as “The case that the author is not thinking.”

On it’s own, it doesn’t matter at all. You can’t protest against those who don’t recognise your humanity. The exact lesson from apartheid here in south Africa. There is no peaceful way to oppose ideologies based on violence.

Even if it were true, Meg looks like a dehydrated horse these days.
