Agree on all points, except the word “racism” is incredibly overused to the point it loses semblance of original meaning.
Russians are mostly Caucasians, just like most Europeans or Americans. In fact, big parts of Caucasus itself are within Russia’s borders.
But stereotypes of other nations are very strong - and intentionally fueled.
Same as everybody else, really. Brain is complicated, and each and every one of us have their quirks - it’s just that they are normally more simple and innocent.
Some people get born with paraphilias (i.e. zoo-, pedo-, necrophilia, nonconsensual sadism, exhibitionism etc.) and develop them naturally as teens, some others get something broken as a result of a traumatic experience. Science doesn’t currently know exact mechanisms, except that it can be both natural and a result of trauma.
Now, the real question is - what factors should be combined with this to make people actually behave like that. Sleeping with kids/animals/dead people etc. is harmful and immoral, and they probably know it, too. Why do they do it anyway, and to what lenghts to they go to convince themselves it’s worth it?
Flashing Lenovo A6000 failed when I did it about a year ago.
Bricked the phone, didn’t manage to fix it even with Qualcomm tools.
Wasn’t worth pursuing further to me back then. Would love to know if someone succeeded!
Windows -> Manjaro.
Never looked back. Debian works on a laptop, amazing too!
It’s like me figuring out after 23 years that most people don’t sneeze looking at the sun
As a young scientist who’s yet to gain PhD:
Absolutely do challenge scientists, no matter your qualification. Sometimes (granted, that’s rare) you might be right.
Just do it in a respectful way and make sure you check your arguments.
Also, while scientists are generally more educated overall, they can absolutely be foolish in what falls outside their scope. “I’m a scientist” is not a valid argument.
And yes, always check for a conflict of interest.
