  1. "Color is a social construct" While true in semantic sense, English itself is a social construct, but discussing language as a social construct is pointless, that's irrelevant to defining blue in this case anyway. Blue is in this regard defined by objective measures, whether it be by appearance of blue or by being actually colored blue (which are also semantically distinct concepts) doesn't change these facts either. Regardless if someone makes a claim that "no food is blue" they are already relying on a conceptual definition of blue which in turn can be proven wrong by referring to a food that we can eat that is conceptually defined by blue. In this George Carlin was actually incorrect since there are blue and capability for blue foods naturally in the environment for us to consume or devise. Being uncommon and being non-existent are distinct categories, George Carlin said a lot of true things, but he did get a lot of things totally incorrect too.

  2. Anyone who makes a demand for population control doesn't understand basic economics either.

  3. Correction: American Chattel slavery rarely ever had American abductors involved, it was either an "inherited" position as a child of a slave or the abductors were part of the African tribes.

  4. I don't recall anyone being called a soyboy for those reason, usually its because they act feminine, submissive, highly neurotic, highly emotional, and acts subservient to their wife. (or they're a cuck or support cuckoldry) Since when has anyone called someone a soyboy merely for being considerate or reasonable? I can't recall. The most common groups of people that even use that phrasing (beyond shitposting and roasting which I'm not really sure when Adam would have time to associate with such groups) refer to those with high self-control and reasonableness as exclusively good things for which don't include soyboys.

  5. I always love a case of free market forces working out exactly as necessary, I always argue for unregulated free markets and when I get another demonstrative case of it, I always get giddy.

  6. Leave it to humans to decide the morals and ethics of creatures that have no capability of either. (I mean in general, not here) We are placed in dominion over the Earth so all things here are for our sake and our care.

  7. Funny thing about masculinity, one of its core traits is actually about not adhering to the desires of others, its standing independent of others, including of their opinions.

  8. Linguistic interventionism and elitism is an annoying trait, though it is kinda strange how in Britian the Londoner-types are overly-strict and aggressive with English while in French its the Quebecois that are overly-strict and aggressive. Like who cares about adopting language traits, language is for our benefit, those who adhere to useless traditionalism just to keep themselves separate are being foolish.
