He knows my ideas are a threat to him. He's not interested in abstract logic or the interests of other ethnic groups. Nobody could ever persuade him to give up power or his co-ethnics position for the sake of some universal value or the interests of others. The thought would never enter his mind. He would much rather fight and die than lose power. He doesn't spare a sentence to justify his case based on universal values (besides the value that blacks deserve more), he holds the very idea of justifying in contempt. Why should he need to justify his ethnic group's position?
Suppose I made a utilitarian argument that the bottom 90% of whites (and other races) are dead weight loss that only survive because of taxes from the top 10% and we should strip their citizenship. Additionally, members of this group may, at any time, be harvested for organs, used for medical experiments, neutered and raped for our pleasure, or deported. Are you going to offer a counter-argument on utilitarian grounds? Or will you say something more like "fuck you, go ahead and try" chambers automatic weapon. You can only make a deontological argument that this is sick and evil.

How is paying informants a sign of demand outstripping the supply? Seems like pretending the story is about something else to dunk.

The social status bit is undervalued I think. If you don't "deserve" your high pay, flaunting your wealth is hard to get away with. Doctors don't have to make excuses for having big houses and a couple of exotic cars, they earned it. But techbros have to be a bit sheepish about it.
These technical sneaker competitions are cool but it strikes me as car brands building cars to win at Formula 1.
Am I a serious enough runner that I buy multiple pieces of gear? Yes. Am I fast? No. Will $500 sneakers make me fast? Also no. Am I most of the people buying shoes? Not even. Most are even more casual.
I suppose Nike started this fight. And unlike F1 I can buy the sneakers that the champions roll in and say "why yes these do feel incredibly light", so that's something.
I'd really kill for a pair of running sneakers that prevented blisters though.
