  • Dr Jason! I want to thank you for the videos you make & share

  • @drjasonjcampbell I have another quick question: Insofar as we get rid of the notion of essence or human nature, do we not fall into moral relativism?

  • @drjasonjcampbell Thanks!

  • @soultorment27 it's more complex than people think. It just dissolves into talking points and rhetoric. But if ur interested you should read up.

  • @soultorment27 Not really interested in discussing the concept of "race" but here are some articles:

    1. Billinger, M. S. (2007). Another look at ethnicity as a biological concept. moving anthropology beyond the race concept. Critique of Anthropology, 27(1), 5-5-35. doi:10.1177/0308275X07073815

    2. Condit, C., & Bates, B. (2005). Mini review: How lay people respond to messages about genetics, health, and race. Clinical Genetics, 68(2), 97-97-105. doi:10.1111/j.1399-0004.2005.0­0480.x

  • @drjasonjcampbell "science has proven that there is no such thing as race." I never heard of this. What exactly did science prove? Aren't there even diseases that are exclusive to only some races (I'm thinking of Sickle-cell disease in particular)?

  • @soultorment27 race is a social construction.

  • @soultorment27 me? i might have been assuming the voice of some position, but no, science has proven that there is no such thing as race. i dont believe in it.

  • @drjasonjcampbell I've heard you say before that there are no races. What grounds are there to claim that race is illusory and what does this mean exactly?
