It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

"There is more scientific progress in a single New York zip code than in all the history of Islam!"
The true sign of an ascended Four Horsemen New Atheist genius is quantifying a location against an entire culture with an unconnected indeterminate span of time.
Are they comparing a university to the history of Islam? That's like power scaling in an anime. Besides the futility of trying to compare pre-Namek Goku to Luffy, what the fuck is scientific progress? You don't have the royal scientific authority grand you 14 milliscientificprofresses (milliscipros) every time you get published.
There might very well be good research that comes out of NYU, but it's asinine to compare it to how useful algebra is. Also probably racist bullshit. And by probably it is.
The unit of measurement for scientific progress is a Sagan.
