And strangely enough, it was these guys that they're getting ready to execute — the ones that the local politicians will tell you are irredeemably evil; they can't be saved or redeemed — these are the people who showed me more kindness, compassion and generosity than any of the good people that are trying to kill them ever did.

I've flown into many a cyber-rage over upon reading unfair (and largely insignificant) criticisms of Bernie Sanders and his supporters, written multi-part tweet threads about the irredeemably problematic nature of some thoughtless thing an old acquaintance said to me when we ran into each other on the street, and delighted in mocking media personalities for their dumb tweets from 2013.

For generations a signifier of upwardly mobile gentility and often paired with the company's devoutly traditional china settings depicting English country life, jasperware now seems irredeemably stodgy-sweet, its appeal to all but the most rigorous collector diminished by its ubiquity: Go to the mall, and you too can pick up a brand-new picture frame decorated with a bas-relief Cupid.

And there's the biting isolation of concluding it must be you who is terribly and irredeemably flawed, and the gut-punch that comes when others agree by demeaning or humiliating or threatening you — you, who individually and obviously does not belong here, whether "here" is on the presidential debate stage, in the corner office, or walking down the street in a new summer dress.

Hasn't everything we've learned over the past seven seasons — as this fevered pursuit has inspired all manner of butchery and abuse, and destroyed families and relationships, and empowered sadists, and turned the most magnificent creatures in the land into nuclear weapons and led at least one formerly decent man to literally burn his daughter alive (I'll never forgive you HBO) — suggested that this contest is, in fact, irredeemably toxic?

If we lived in a just, rational, inclusive universe — one in which we were not all so irredeemably obsessed by the particulars of the parts dangling between our fellow humans' legs, nor the ridiculous expectations signified by those parts about how we should act and speak and dress and feel — there would be no requirement for you to have to assume my gender just to refer to me in the common tongue.

In fact, I will close by noting that not even the three of us are completely in agreement about it: I (Turkheimer) am convinced that the question is irredeemably unscientific; Nisbett accepts it as a legitimate scientific question, and thinks evidence points fairly strongly in the direction of the black-white gap being entirely environmental in origin; while Harden questions the quality of the existing evidence, but thinks more determinative data may be found in future genetic knowledge.

We don't know yet exactly when the top visit will take place – May said the invitation was passed on by her when she visited Trump in Washington last week (such invitations technically come from Buckingham Palace rather than Downing Street, providing a perhaps useful degree of plausible deniability to distance May herself from the visit should it prove irredeemably politically toxic.) According to the Guardian, however, much of the drive behind doing a state visit so quickly came from Downing Street, in part because of its unusual degree of desperation to secure a good working relationship with the new U.S. president.
