Give me a break, it's a joke. It's quite appropriate in this instance as statistically Ayton and Sabonis are very similar - that one of them is potentially going to cost half the other but you prefer the more expensive one, it doesn't entirely add up. It may very well be the defence aspect that Pick...

I agree, for the most part. IQ tests don't test how smart you are. It tests how well you can take an IQ test. SATs have repeatedly shown bias in their development, to the point that many universities in the US are not requiring to determine admission anymore. All test are inherently flawed because ...

If Einstein was born on a deserted island with no books and just learned to survive would he invent the theory of relativity or would he just be some guy good at fishing? If you took a random baby from a remote villiage in Africa that had no schools and sent him to the best private schools in Ameri...

Running joke from the Politics board .. though there may be more to it than that:

And I really don't want to lose Johnson - his shooting is harder to find than big man defence, I think.

So defense doesn't count at all? Got it.

Everything counts - but not without considering the cost of paying for it.

We're using points, rebounds and assists to determine a player's worth and value to a team? Points, rebounds, assists + $'s. Sabonis, McGee, Ayton when he was out and we were still winning; all signs pointing towards Ayton not being worth a max to us. This team to me (being untouchables, and good p...

5.2, lol

Yeah I’m looking at his Sac stats .. it’s 3am in Sydney, I fell asleep for what I thought would be an hour at 6.30pm yesterday but woke up at midnight…TF for the internet. Anyway, the point remains that you don’t pay double for ayton what you would for Sabonis - 5.5 assists / 36 for the big man is v...

Racist!

Dude’s averaging 24, 15, 5 / 36 @ 22.2 PER

DA is 20, 13, 2 / 36 @ 22.5 PER

You don’t pay double for player number 2.

Hmmm https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/33264034/lowe-ridiculous-nba-trade-deadline-which-players-teams-officially-notice The Pacers and Phoenix Suns had brief dialogue around Sabonis and Deandre Ayton, multiple sources say. It did not get far, sources say, and may have been mostly informa...

I’m not an expert so I don’t know - I do know that the author of the Bell Curve’s policies were straight up controversial, Harris might propose something different. I generally lean towards understanding something at face value and going from there, i generally don’t lean towards deliberately ignori...

Yes, an extension of the 90's book the Bell Curve .. and Ezra Klein misdiagnoses Harris's reasons for following the science on it. It's not - as Klein would like you to believe - to perpetuate ongoing racial stereotypes etc, it's to understand how policy can be adapted - if necessary - to improve b...

We have reached peak juvenile.

Not they, he ... I'm not even sure why I have to spell that out, but here we are.

Of course it meets my definition of privilege, but to say *all* privileged white men aren't capable of making an informed, objective opinion on racism - which is what you're doing - is just dumb, especially in Harris's case.

I suppose I can add that privileged white guys can be pretty trying as a whole (or as a stereotype) - which probably counts for double in the increasingly unequal USA - but to lump Harris in there with them is .... mind blowing.

Your prejudice is mind blowing.

A shorter version of the same video, you can listen from 3.55 and it’s just a 5.58 video.. https://youtu.be/ULeXkNUvR4g And before you say privileged white guy again, I’d read his background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Harris I mean, his PhD was literally on the subject of morality: “He re...
