<div dir="auto"><div>Uh I think you might be thinking of a different conversation. We were just irked because Mr. Wallace was saying racist pseudoscientific bullshit. But hey maybe he came to those conclusions himself without any input from his neighbors, which is...worse, I think?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Simply put unless this is some kind of racist or ethnonationalist list, in which case I will leave, I don't see any reason why we should abide a member saying that black people are *by nature* immoral and/or unintelligent. It's quite abhorrent, and if I were an intelligent black person who happened to read that, I would go far away. Idk, maybe that was his goal, but I don't feel good about being in a space where that is anyone's goal. If you guys are racist please just let me know and I can get outta here <br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 4, 2022, 9:09 PM sjatkins via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px">Agree 100% Besides back in old Extropy days it was mostly radical futurist who were also radically pro-liberty. Indeed full freedom would seem essential to continuous improvement. That includes radical freedom in the marketplace. There is nothing "conservative" really about that. <br></div>
