Don t Quit the Rat Race. Your 9–5 Isn’t the Problem. Do This Instead.

I have a real issue with the ‘quit the rat race’ narrative. It’s been a progressive thing. In truth, three years ago I was taken with the idea. Two years ago I started to see its flaws. A year ago I decided to build a business entirely around opposing the idea. Six months ago I ...

Ending the myth of the White Race

The White Race was invented in the 17th century. There were Imperialists in a few Western European nation states that had military and economic power. They wanted to justify the rather brutal things they were doing, and inventing a theory of racialism was a perfect way to trick themselves into not h...

Rethinking Race Labels

One of the tenets of anti-racist belief is that race doesn’t actually exist. Instead it is only a social construct. Perceptions of race have certainly changed over time, but the way we think of race today — and the way I myself grew up understanding it — is that it only applies to ...

Breaking White Solidarity: Baldwin on Critical Race Theory

Why Race Reductionists Love a White Woman’s Idea that Racism is Power Plus Prejudice and Ignore Malcolm X’s

The Single Most Hated Question That I Got as a Mixed Race Person in America

I’ve lived on this planet for 34 years. During these years, I was asked one question more than any other. Where are you from? Ever since I could remember, back in my elementary school days, I’ve had people — young, old, and everywhere in between — come up to me to ask t...

The grey areas in America’s understanding of race

The Cosmic Race Between Stars and Black Holes

Over the full cosmic history of the past 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, supermassive black holes and stars produced roughly the same amount of energy output.

The race delusion

As far as controversy in biology goes, this is about as controversial as it gets, so why the free pass from the media that normally lambastes Dawkins for such tweets?
