Big Gods Came After the Rise of Civilizations, Not Before, Finds Study Using Huge Historical Database - "One popular theory has argued that moralising gods were necessary for the rise of large-scale societies. Small societies, so the argument goes, were like fish bowls. It was almost impossible to engage in antisocial behaviour without being caught and punished – whether by acts of collective violence, retaliation or long-term reputational damage and risk of ostracism. But as societies grew larger and interactions between relative strangers became more commonplace, would-be transgressors could hope to evade detection under the cloak of anonymity. For cooperation to be possible under such conditions, some system of surveillance was required... Our statistical analysis showed that beliefs in supernatural punishment tend to appear only when societies make the transition from simple to complex, around the time when the overall population exceed about a million individuals.  We are now looking to other factors that may have driven the rise of the first large civilisation. For example, Seshat data suggests that daily or weekly collective rituals – the equivalent of today’s Sunday services or Friday prayers – appear early in the rise of social complexity and we’re looking further at their impact.If the original function of moralising gods in world history was to hold together fragile, ethnically diverse coalitions, what might declining belief in such deities mean for the future of societies today? Could modern secularisation, for example, contribute to the unravelling of efforts to cooperate regionally – such as the European Union? If beliefs in big gods decline, what will that mean for cooperation across ethnic groups in the face of migration, warfare, or the spread of xenophobia? Can the functions of moralising gods simply be replaced by other forms of surveillance?"

Dr. Barry (LOOK AT PINNED TWEET) on Twitter -  "Earlier today I went to the store and as I walking in a white man held the door open. I asked him if he thought holding the door open for a black woman made up for centuries of his ancestors making sure black women had no doors or avenues to success. He was stunned silent.
The fact that the white man thought 1 act of kindness could undo centuries of oppression and slavery speaks volumes to how white people think. Attention white people: ACTING LIKE YOU'RE NOT RACIST MAKES YOU MORE RACIST"

Sex and Censorship - ""We are not trying to be edgy when we say Fuck Anne Frank. We ARE BEING RAW AND REAL. U think poor&working class colonzied people who have to work PAYCHECK to PAYCHECK who are DYING in prison and concentration camps who are being MURDERED by the police who have to go everyday in" "Here's an illustration of why the intersectional left is a fascist movement. Anne Frank may have died in a concentration camp, but as far as they're concerned she was still a privileged white girl. Their definition of oppression has nothing to do with "lived experience", and is simply based on race and gender"

Some workers still unhappy about food at dorms; MOM says it is continually improving the quality - "Some workers said that they had seen a marked improvement in the variety and quality of food given but others said they were still occasionally being given meals that were undercooked or which did not suit their culture... with 200,000 workers from at least half a dozen nationalities, the scale of organising food distribution is “enormous”. He said that despite the enormity of the task, the inter-agency task force dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic has been working to ensure food is delivered on time and that it suits the dietary and taste preferences of the workers. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said that its officers have been conducting taste tests with different groups of workers given that migrant workers come from different countries... Indian national who works in the construction industry said: “The vegetable was soggy and there was no gravy.”However, a week in, Mr Mundla said that there was an increase in the variety of food at his dormitory that was gazetted as an isolation area on April 9.He said he now receives Chinese fusion meals as well as vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian and Bangladeshi meals. Fruits and packet drinks accompany his meals.Mr Mundla said that while the meals provided are not as good as what he cooks for himself, he acknowledged that it is not an easy feat to cater food on a large scale.He added that government officials and the dormitory staff have also been actively seeking feedback on the food from residents through a common WhatsApp chat group... Bangladeshi national Rahman Mahbobor, 29, shipyard worker, said that he had been receiving Malay food earlier — a cuisine which he was not used to.But lately, he has been provided with Indian food and while it is not the same as his own culture’s cuisine, he explained it is a bit more to his liking and more similar to food from his country... Mr Prasath stressed that they are not asking for fancy meals and will be satisfied if simple South Indian food is provided.This could include rasam (a South Indian soup with a tamarind base), sambar or kootu (lentil and vegetable stews)... Mr Sohrab was also upset that the food provided was not what Bangladeshis typically eat. On Wednesday morning, for instance, he was served fish curry, dhal and rice.The fish, he said, had been boiled and mixed with tomato. While the food was not spoilt, Mr Sohrab said it is not the way Bangladeshis would prepare it.“(We) never touch the curry, just eat the rice or dhal”... the majority of the dormitory’s residents come from different parts of India and Bangladesh and therefore have different cooking styles.At the request of the residents, he said the caterer has changed the rice grain to the ponni variety... Some Bangladeshi workers, for instance, have told him that they received mee goreng for their meals simply because they are Muslim."A lot of Singaporeans think that Muslim food is the same all over. It is not,” he said. “Nobody on the Indian subcontinent eats noodles.”“That is a reflection of the absence of cultural and ethnic sensitivity.”"

EA Finances Hate Initiate Dedicated to Removing Heterosexuality and Right Leaning Opinions From Society - "Pixels for Fascists a political initiative that seeks to oppose fascism which is a merger of corporate and state power, by merging corporate and state power. In order to systematically remove racism and misogyny from video games. Or at least that is what the initial sales pitch says. When taking a look at what their representative Pascal Wagner has written on their goals a completely different picture emerges. One where the organization is aiming to engage in cultural deconstructionism to supplant the dominant culture with a communist/Marxist one...
'Statements and jokes with right-wing rhetoric do not make you a Nazi, but they support the normality of these things, which are pushed more and more into our society, especially from the right. Especially in gaming circles. They help right-wing organizations and groups to be classified as normal and harmless. At the same time, more and more of the spectators slide into the right corner and are not reminded by their idols that these views are not normal.'...
Perhaps Electronic Arts isn’t aware they have funded exactly that. Akin to when a plethora of companies backed the now-defunct Bully Hunter’s initiate under the impression they would garner great media attention by appearing to take a stand against online harassment in gaming. Only to discover to their absolute horror they endorsed a campaign that openly spread misinformation to demonize their entire customer base."
