How exactly does one go about signing this pledge?

Nope. His work on the questions of the nature of thought, language, and mind is both extremely influential & deeply philosophical. Some of his work on linguistics you can argue is …

I would say his work in linguistics is philosophy.

Simple explanation, I'm afraid: I was dumb. There are no exceptions (...at least, none that I'm currently aware of). Dang's "missing comment" actually is on his page, just not wher…

Sure. Here's a recent comment from the user dang: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34271566 And here's his page, where the comment can't be seen: https://news.ycombinator.com/t…

I don't think that works. It will show the dead, but not their children.

I doubt that any serious racists consider that there is some single "black race". Nonetheless, as far as I can tell, you're presenting the case that there are significant genetic d…

I'm not suggesting that the term "HBD" has other more benign uses. I'm suggesting that it refers to a body of thought in which various claims are made, and that you are focused on …

> Black people as a whole have more genetic diversity within themselves than every other race. Would you mind explaining this in more detail?

It seems to me that you just have a more specific issue with HBD than jasonhansel has. jasonhansel takes issue with the idea that there are racial differences in intelligence You t…

The reason akomtu and I adressed the "mott" is that it was the claim ascribed to HBD: > HBD (or "human biodiversity") is a euphemism for the view that there are genetic racial diff…

I just do it the old-fashioned way: memorisation.
