Maybe designers should research why we are not redesigning things like power sockets, forks, knives, shoelaces every other month.

That productivity OS for power users does exist. It's free and you can even run Windows games in it now.
Let's make the question more tricky. All you know are two things: * One doctor is white, one doctor is black * One of them has IQ 90, the other has IQ 150

You are allowed to choose based on this information only.

(I am what many people would call an "alt righter" and I would choose the doctor with IQ 150). I'm curious how other demographics would answer (white liberals, etc.)

Oh nice you found Occam's razor. Can I borrow it to explain crime rates, test scores, etc.?
It appears to be a meta-analysis of literature in the field of psychology.
This is a false dichotomy.

The taboos about races / genetics are largely held and enforced by white people, not (just) by minorities.

Power in the sense he got completely cancelled in the west for saying things that are not considered taboo in other parts of the world.
I am an antisemite and I don't deny Jews their right to exist (but as you can imagine I do have objections to the way they act; I won't further develop because this is off topic and I believe off charter for this board).

Similarly I do dispute the characterisation made by Sartre that we are irrational, doing it for fun, etc.

Many people have similar beliefs about other groups (Christians, Muslims, etc.). In America you can openly dunk on Christians or Muslims for example. You can agree or not with those beliefs, but I don't think the people doing that are completely irrational or doing it just as a provocation.

It's good that all the bad people at J&J were working in the talc division, while the selfless honest people who never cheat or lie worked on the COVID vaccine.
It could also be a hate crime.
Some commenters mentioned Estonia. Might be worth seeing what could be different between Estonia and San Francisco in terms of demographics that could be related to crime.
France literally has official names and policies for those areas, but all French politicians were like "what the hell is Trump talking about, is he crazy, ha ha funny Americans"
There are no UN sanctions against Russia.

The countries that invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc. decided to sanction Russia, but it's their own thing.

It's not secret and it's not a cabal.

It's the group of people who benefit from a collusion with governments (by funding politicians campaigns) to get constant protection of their profits through systematic, de facto or explicit, bailouts by central banks, and more generally complacent regulations.

Abolish central banking and have a gold-backed financial system and they mostly disappear. You can't cheat with gold. People who say it's fundamentally unstable and the cause for deflation or whatever have so far not demonstrated that the alternative is any better.
