Besides age, another takeaway from these graphs is that irreligious and college-educated people really are just less racially bigoted. Period. All the discourse about how ivory tower urbanites are overlooking the solidarity of tight knit small town religious communities? They're wrong. It's false.
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

A terrible idea I must put out into the world just so I seem prophetic when someone searches back and says WHAT DID SHE KNOW?!:
There will be LLM pets at some point in the future. When folk get sick of hallucinations and creepily emulating humanity, we'll have strange small furry things -

I think my 'most woke opinion' is that all people are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It turns out the necessary conclusions are so woke we still aren't quite there 250 years later.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.
Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social.

I don't think you can be surprised when social media at least temporarily bans someone for a death threat, and the threat being phrased as song lyrics doesn't meaningfully change that.

Much like with scientific racism, if the frequency distributions that would support the policies you're trying to justify were real, you would need disfavored minorities to be basically nonverbal
