Especially if you dedicate your time to the actual study of Marx and Lenin and make leftism more than just a contrarian personality trait. Now go outside!

That's interesting. I saw it more as they were talking about the probability this would happen according to some heuristic or rule of thumb. Like what would be different from saying that a person who drives an SUV is more likely to survive a collision compared to someone in a sedan? There's kinda an ordering and it's based on an assumption and the assumption could make sense or not.

They didn't really argue it though which I would have preferred, we don't really get to know why they came to that conclusion. If they do have some information or novel insight simply stating it doesn't do very much for me or I'd imagine others who view this.

^Is that kinda what you were referring to?

Yeah that's one of my big stumbling blocks to things like this. Like sure it sounds true, but is it actually true or are we just patting ourselves on the back for some ethereal intangible potential that we apparently have.
