Episode notes
Speaker 2
Yeah, either that or they just don't want to talk about it at all. Let's talk about tax policy instead. Well,
Speaker 1
of course, that's the default. But if you press them right they'll usually appeal like to the solian theory yeah and another problem though with the solian theory you said that this soulism is more plausible than the racism theory yeah i'm uh skeptical of that I would at least say
Speaker 2
it's not obviously much less plausible. I mean, because the racism theory just fails on, you know, on first examination. We know all sorts of other groups like Jews experienced extreme racism in history, and yet they're doing extremely well.
Speaker 1
okay but then soulism fall is vulnerable in exactly the same way because the the theory that african-american culture was borrowed from white redneck culture doesn't explain why these patterns appear right in other places
Speaker 2
yeah you're not you're not wrong i mean that's why i wanted to defend a slightly weaker claim that it's not obvious that the racism theory is more plausible.
Speaker 1
But racism, let's say there's worldwide racism against blacks, then that would at least explain cross-cultural patterns a little better. It also has fatal flaws. I'm not defending the theory. I'm just saying for prima facie, it might do a better job of explaining that. Yeah.
