Didn't read the article but isn't it weird how these countries become personified in this kind of reporting. It's not Canadian firms or Chinese individuals who own the farmland, it's "China" or "Canada".

the entire reason were supposed to be scaremongered about china but not canada is because were supposed to tacitly understand that canadian firms are free to do whatever they like but the chinese government very evilly wont allow its corporations to take up arms and overthrow the government like they can in any other country

yeah any canadian business is purely driven by the markets, no real difference from an american one or w/e, itll act as the market acts and how every other firm acts. and we can lever on the market to move things around. but if a chinese firm can do things against the will of the market its unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Hey what's Kathryn Paige Harden has been up to since the publication of that old New Yorker piece, just for kicks, let's see how's she advancing the frontier of science these days

quote:

"There is a cultural assumption in the United States that if teens have sex early, it is somehow bad for their psychological health. But we actually found that teens who had sex earlier seem to have better relationships later. Now we want to find out why," she said.

In the next phase of this research, Harden plans to closely examine the contexts of early teen sexual activity, such as the types of relationships, the age of the partners, where the sex occurred and why, and how long, the relationships lasted.

I think in general the nature/nurture debate is intractable and there’s so many different variables all the way from how environmental conditions impacted your grandparents right up to whether you found an eager mentor in middle school that it’s all just a mess that’s unproductive to really spend much time talking about/thinking about unless you, as an article of faith, really want to choose to believe some people are just genetically inferior

But otherwise it’s just not productive to spend time on it, there’s no control groups or experiment design that could tell us, and anyway there’s so much variation even among like siblings

So if you want to wax poetic that some people are genetically inferior I guess go for it but otherwise just work towards a more just and equitable society

Absolutely. We did believe in "only nurture" for a couple (at least) of decades and then were very surprised when adopted children often turned out to share mannerisms, food preferences, and other characteristics with the bioparents they'd never known.
