YOU WILL EAT THE BUGS

Yeah but it is quite integral to Judaism and is what the term “Chosen people” is typically referring to. Here is more in depth info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_as_the_chosen_people

It’s a very common thing said amongst jews. While some other religions may have similar concepts, it is quite integral to Judaism to a degree that it isn’t in other religions.

No, “Chosen people” as a concept is unique to Judaism. You can read about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chosen_people

gods chosen people is how they refer to themselves

remember when two highschool students solved a 4000 year old unsolved mathematical proof https://www.wfla.com/news/education/teens-prove-2000-year-old-pythagorean-theorem-school-officials-say/#:~:text=School officials say 17-year,and without using circular logic.

curation can still skew towards one side. you know this, everyone knows this. just saying wikipedia used to better before it was taken over by ideologues.

Go look at some of the most active wikipedia contributors, they are mostly hyper political nerds. Wikipedia is heavily reliant on the social consensus of it’s contributors. It’s not a far out idea that there could be a slant among them.

Nah wikipedia has been taken over by politically motivated actors. I really enjoyed it when it was relatively agenda free. If you don’t believe me go check the talk page of any controversial article.

if it involves hating on elon musk, yes.

I get everyone here loves to hate have hate boner for musk but any electric car will break down if submerged in water. If tesla’s were breaking from simply driving in the rain, you would have heard about it.

You type so much and say so little. It’s impressive really.

Cool, but context is a thing.

But this is also about wayyyy more than the top 1% of kids, this is about everyone. You want a more capable society? That means everyone.

Hmms seems like you are implying here that it does actually bring those 1% of kids down for the betterment of the rest. I thought it wouldn’t bring kids down?

It’s a simple difference of opinions. I believe that private schools are better empowered to allocate resources to produce the best result since it bypasses government bureaucracy. That’s it. Acting like “advanced classes” is some sort of own that defeats the purpose of private schools is a cop out frankly.

You want more smart people in society? The solution is public schools to develop those smart people.

This can happen without making private schools illegal.

The thread you are replying to is about banning private schools

I’m not saying the public school system indiscriminately brings people down, but for the intellectual top 1% of kids it definitely can. stop thinking in absolutes. I think it’s a good thing for smart kids to hang out with smart kids. Believe it or not, different degrees of intelligence require different needs to allow children to reach their full potential. I believe that private schools are great in making sure that potential is met. It’s up to the schools themselves to allocate funding rather than a government bureaucracy, which is notoriously inefficient and frankly always will be, especially at scale. Advocate for improving funding to public schools so private schools would be unnecessary instead of making the choice on behalf of people.

And they were able to do so without banning private schools

Almost every good private school has extensive financial aid programs. At the private school I went to, they had blind financial aid, meaning you got accepted first and if you couldn’t afford it, you would get in for free, so there was no discrimination against poor people.
I’m not against gifted programs and more resources being allocated to public schools. But private schools play an important role in this imperfect system and getting rid of them “because it’s unfair” just brings people down.
It’s not a conspiracy to suggest that public schools abide by a government approved curriculum. You are way too sensitive. You can improve public schools without making private schools illegal, is my point.

A genius being around average people will pull them down. It’s a good thing to concentrate our smartest children in an environment that lets them learn with equally intelligent peers. There might not be enough hyper intelligent kids in a geographical region to warrant the resources required to fully support that minority of students. Nothing I said was conspiratorial.

“Blindsides” give me a break. You are telling me one of the most intelligence heavy militaries in the world couldn’t possibly have seen this coming? Israel let this happen to justify wiping out hamas for good.
