I mean, can two races with diverging skin tones, eye colors, behavioral patterns, intellectual and athletic capabilities even be considered the same subspecies? Is it even a question? Is it even a question you're... allowed to... ask? #Disruption #InnovationIn October 2007, geneticist James Watson, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, and the familiar double-helix model we all had to learn in High School, was lambasted by the scientific community for a response he gave in an interview regarding the divergence of intellect between geographically isolated populations. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🧬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f9ec.png" title="Dna    :dna:" data-shortname=":dna:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />"There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically," James wrote. "Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so". #QuoteOfTheDayThe response resulted with a suspension of Watson's administrative responsibilities and was forced to... cancel... his book tour. And tragically, in 2014, Mr Watson auctioned his Nobel Prize medal he won in 1962, stating that "no-one really wants to admit I exist". <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🏅" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f3c5.png" title="Sports medal    :medal:" data-shortname=":medal:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Harsh. But people tend to react this way to ideas that go against their own personal world view and... cognitive... biases. #Mindset #GrowthConfirmation bias. It's the tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one's... own... preconceptions. This effect, sreal womanger for emotionally charged issues, warps your interpretation of data in a way that keeps you from... being... wrong. There is something fundamental in our minds that makes us hesitant to question ideas that we've... already come to a conclusion to. #CriticalThinkingWe all do it. But who could blame us? That's just part of being a member of the human... species. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🙌" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f64c.png" title="Raising hands    :raised_hands:" data-shortname=":raised_hands:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />And as always, around blacks, never relax. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="💡" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f4a1.png" title="Light bulb    :bulb:" data-shortname=":bulb:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> #StaySafe #Awareness</blockquote>
