Really enjoyed and will be reacting to more QI (and similar). Fun fact, if I went into the nuance of the entirety of my views on some things, including those that grind my gears, the videos will be a lot, and I mean a lot longer. It's funny the projections made in the comments over a portion of my viewpoints on the policies that have shaped this nation negatively for more than 30 generations in this nation for a portion of the population here. Nowhere did I remove the need for personal responsibility for your own success in life. Overlooking 4 generations worth of Jim Crow and national policies or apathy in many cases that was used to prevent the ability to even attempt the accumulation of generational wealth or success can hardly be overlooked. The civil rights act of 64' was passed scarcely 2 generations ago. There have been many many strides on the issue of race made in this country. The overall outlook even from when I was growing up in the 90s is better. You have to make good choices in life there is 0 doubt and you have to work hard, there are no 2 ways about that but overlooking what has helped cause the generational poverty that's helped to create the environments that many find themselves in due to repeated cycles, well, there should be no surprise when shit works how it works. I'm also not saying that there aren't folks of all races in similar situations here in this country but most of them haven't had 100 years of laws specifically meant to discriminate against them either so take that as you will. I try not to get into the weeds about a ton of things because invariably you wind up pissing people off and creating division in your own comment section which I truly dislike. That said, my opinions are my opinions. If I do read up and research or am pointed to legitimate evidence that proves my held opinion wrong, I will admit I'm wrong. Normally if I do speak on something it's born out by personal experience and/or overall curiosity and pulling from numerous places to form the opinion that I hold. I can often argue both sides of whatever argument that is being presented (unless it's theoretical physics then I'm lost) because I'm naturally curious and seek to understand and getting 1 view point is counter productive since you don't gain a fuller grasp of some of the intricacies contained within a subject or an argument. So in the future if the picture of race in this country comes up again, or really anything that can be divisive, just know, that unless you want my full nuanced view on whatever is being discussed, you're only going to give a portion of it and whatever it is you disagree with me on, I can make your argument for you as well as the viewpoint that I also hold.
