So you probably believe these studies that countries like Korea puts out that has the people of the han clearly above the 100 mark, westerners at about 100, and Africans at about 70.
Because they are administered 'fairly'. |
I don't have "beliefs". I'm educated on the topic and you are not, that is the reality.
Off topic though. |

Being educated won't actually buy me any coffee, not directly at least. |

So the point of the saying is that being ignorant is awesome? Or that being ignorant will buy you coffee?
I'll take being educated, and awesome, and pay for my coffee with currency.  |

No idea what the point would be.
Tip: when working abroad it is best not to use cultural-based sayings. Speak clearly and directly, it will help. |

Okay I think we finally got there via a convoluted route...
4000KRW coffee = [4000KRW + (knowledge = 0KRW)]
This is proved false since differentiating IS in fact valuable in day to day life. And knowledge on how to accurately differentiate is thus also valuable. |

Really?
Has the author read the voyage of hendrik hamel and any number of other documents from the previous centuries? |
I'm not sure that Hendrik Hamel or the authors of said other documents from the previous centuries could be considered "modern" though. |

I'm not sure if that's any less offensive than straight up racism. |

Being offended by reality comes from social programming (beliefs), these beliefs tell you human nature is "bad". If you ditch the beliefs, then you can stop being offended. |

Your posts are bizarre.
I don't agree with Steel Rails but I can understand his arguments. I don't even know what you're arguing. |
