Auckland University professors sign letter stating that while indigenous knowledge contributes to our understanding of the world, "it falls far short of what we can define as science".
They are a) correct, and b) gonna get smashed for this https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/scient...ZUTPYP2Q3CSLM/ You're not allowed to point out that the Emperor is naked. |

That leads to an interesting discussion.
So the Football/Hockey/Sevens etc ends in a draw. Can both teams decide not to have a penalty shoot out/etra time and both take the gold? The golf had a 7 way draw for bronze that they had a play off for. Were they all allowed to take bronze. I assume it must be written in the laws of athletics (high jump) where they can decide to do this. |

Why even get to the draw? Everyone should just agree that everyone was the winner.
|
2nd August 2021, 14:04 | #938 |
|
Fuck that, I don't need everyone's agreement to know I'm winning.

Oh, but it's not about that, is it? "Winning" in this context means privileged access to resources.
Yeah, nah, we can't be having everyone getting what they need, amirite? That might mean our betters might miss out on having as much as they can.

cunning plan by the white athlete to negate the genetic advantages of the black athlete, get him to agree that they both "won"
take that, privilege! |

They DID both win. They beat the system, good on them.
After all, it's a cunt system within a cunt system, that focuses resources on the "best" indifferent to the rest.

So biologically female but with naturally occurring levels of testosterone? Interesting. Wouldn't the 'people who went through male puberty shouldn't compete as women' crowd be okay with them competing because any natural biological advantage is not to do with being natal male? Like the biological advantage of a woman being unusually tall.

Exactly. Assuming she's not a man like Caster Semenya, it just seems to be that Christine Mboma is unusually fast and strong for a woman. She doesn't have a male body or possess an unfair advantage from having experienced androgenisation through male puberty; she's just physically gifted.
We don't disqualify female basketball players because they're unusually tall. |

Not in the same way it happened in this Olympics. Hence why conservative outrage.

I haven't seen anything happen at this Olympiad that hasn't happened at others. Hell, here's the fucking Master Race literally walking arm-in-arm with one of the mud people in Nazi Germany.
The new bit is the outrage. It's almost like there's a multibilliondollar industry that needs us to be enraged by everything to maximise its profits... |

The men's high jump was an anomaly. Only an idiot would have risked a sure gold medal for the chance to win a gold medal.
The lack of spectators encouraged competitors to cheer for each other or we haven't noticed it before. The US track and field team sucked. Not even a medal in events they have dominated in the past. They got squeezed out of the middle distance a long time ago and now they are losing the short distances. The performances of the winners is world record class. Its a lack of cheating, getting caught cheating, the rest of the world catching up or just short of talent. |

Another racist putting his hand up. No doubt encouraged by those academic racists recently.
