#his disdain for human agency in every aspect of life is just palpable
Text
Sometimes, a reading will take me 3 hours when it's only about 15 pages, and it's never really because it's hard, but because I take psychic damage with every other line.
#fuck jared diamond so much#jesus christ#the vague thesis of his book had always seemed pretty fine to me#even if i disagreed with his overall biological determinism#but rwading the actual text....GOD HE'S SO STUPJD#HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING#HOW DID WE LET THIS MAN COMMIT HIS IDEOLOGICAL CRIMES#HE ATTEMPTS TO NOT BE RACIST BY BEING AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FLAVOUR OF RACIST#jesus#his entire agricultural theory about how nutrient-poor the americas are#comes from him COMPLETELY disregarding potatoes and beans#just....such an idiot#god#his geographical thesis about how europe is so much technologically competitive than china#comes from his belief that china is flatter than europe#HAS HE FUCKING SEEN CHINA???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN???#It's.....staggeringly incompetent#his disdain for human agency in every aspect of life is just palpable#he goes out of his way to claim that no human EVER purposely tried to domesticate plants#and like sir....how the fuck do you know that??? none of them left writing#sure a lot of it was probably entirely coincidental#but humans are smart and notice patterns#i bet a few of them did know and do ot intentionally#but he believes in the dominance and supremacy of biology and environment to a farcical degree
