You can't be serious? People are different. Dear God, to say that lead to the Holocaust is just absolute insanity. There are so many more things that lead to the Holocaust than just "people are different".

The Holocaust and the events that lead up to it were directly related to new studies about DNA and genetics. That exact line of thinking is what caused the Nazi population to pick out specific groups as a whole.

And currently, as we speak more and more violence is spreading based on people looking at others as genetically different.

Of course sleep schedules are pretty tame stuff. I'm just asking us all to please be to mindful of those who may misinterpret our discussions.

You are confusing genetics with eugenics.

The Holocaust was a result of value judgements placed on genetics, and the privilege enjoyed by morning people is too.

People are absolutely genetically different, and I see recurring types of people everywhere I go (not necessarily tied to race). Pretending like we're all the same doesn't really help anyone and probably just turns away people who don't enjoy being lied to and shushed for something as innocent as believing there are "types" of people. That is miles away from believing some of those types are worthless and deserve to die in terrible Holocaust-style mass killings.
