@EPoe187 This is a very "Supreme Court" style answer. So, you seem to be saying it is accurate that other academics/smart laymen PERCEIVE AmRen writers as bigots.

But, there's an obvious secondary question here: do you perceive it as CORRECT that most or all AmRen writers are bigots?
@EPoe187 (2) As re @mchappenstance's point, we're not talking here about someone being cited by a white-nat website. We're talking about several someones (I mean, they have a contributors' page) associated with the U.S. dissident right or a particular sci-paradigm WRITING for the site.
@EPoe187 @mchappenstance (3) The obvious questions here are: does this indicate serious bigotry (as it obviously seems to), and if so what should be done?

Without a lot of "taqiya," the BEST response from one or more figures Young names would just be: "Yeah, I'm a racist. Can you prove me wrong?"
@EPoe187 @mchappenstance (4) Last on this for me: but, from an AMORAL analytical perspective, this is still a problem for serious hereditarians.

I don't mess with "NHJ's" work because she's a Communist - and many people, similarly, just won't check through every model in a 'racist' paper for validity.

Serious question: what, exactly, are vaccinated people afraid OF, as re COVID-19?
(2) Per all data I have seen, you are VERY substantially less likely to get, and 89-94% less likely to face death or hospitalization from - CDC and Israeli conclusions still apply re this point - a virus that carried a 1/2,000-5,000 PRE-VAXX risk of death for healthy u-50 people.
(3) Is the worry that you might infect someone else?

Everyone over 12 has had the chance to get the vaccine for months. Literally every adult you might happen to cough on is either (a) vaccinated or (b) a probably-healthy person who consciously chose not to be vaccinated.

This tweet is a place-setter.

Like it if you want to definitely get notifications from my 57-TWEET thread on IQ, etc "culturalism," dropping - for real - tomorrow. All will appear under this. #five_wonks_will_like
(1) "Tarzan" of legend - or anyone illiterate - would score a "0" on a standard written IQ test. This implies something both profound and obvious: training and opportunity affect IQ as they do ~any other trait.

In this (lengthy) thread, I defend the position of IQ culturalism.
(2) The thesis of culturalism is that (1) non-genetic variables (2) other than "racism" dramatically affect IQ, and have often shifted scores by 15-20+ points from a starting position (X). Multiple jumps of this kind have been larger than ~any IQ GAP that exists in the 2021 USA.

Without excusing the hood, something that has to be taken into account when we look at crime rates is that smart upper-class people are very rarely arrested for crimes they commit.
(2) We tend to have a "brothers and rednecks" view of criminals, but the four objectively highest-crime environments I have ever been in were the 1990s Chicago rave scene (!!!!!), the college Greek scene, the sales/trading-floor world, and the Internet circa 2005.
(3) We might view this as "less evil" than low-end crimes like burglary, justifiably or not, but it is...not legal...to throw a 10,000 person indoor party full of u-21 people having raw sex and selling hard drugs, or to operate thepiratebay.org.

A better label for "quantitative culturalism" would probably be "the multivariate position."

In the USA, group performance gaps have generally been attributed to either genes or racism, in ~univariate fashion. These takes are wrong.
(2) There's nothing at all wrong with including "experienced discrimination" OR an IQ proxy (not that IQ is all genetic) in models predicting - say - personal income.

But median age, region, family structure, study CULTURE, PAST discrimination, etc may all play bigger roles.
(3) As re some responses: 1st, it might be worth checking out s/t like "Discrimination and Disparities (Sowell 2019)." There definitely is a lengthy tradition in the USA -running from phrenologists through the alt-right- of attributing the VAST majority of group gaps to genetics.

I don't ever OBJECT to people taking a mental health day. But, all tf I'm saying is: if Giannis or Luka or Big Mike Jordan walked off the court during a Finals game 7 talmbout "Sometimes you just don't feel it. Sometimes, you CAN'T feel it," he miiiight not be praised as a hero.
**That's not a direct Biles quote, btw, for the Internet sleuths - more of a compendium from this case, the Osaka situation, and several others.**
(3) It's worth noting that I'm not arguing about whether she SHOULD have withdrawn - now from all events. That's a totally personal choice.

The question is whether this is HEROIC: it seems to have received more positive press than anything else during this Olympics.

An interesting phenomenon today is that there exists a whole genre of plain truths which everyone - across all races, etc - would agree to in a barbershop, on a basketball court, or on a golf course...but which almost cannot be mentioned in "polite" discourse.
(2) I'll name one for every 50 likes.
(3) While police brutality is Very Bad, something like the 90% majority of people shot by cops are violent repeat felons, usually struggling with the officer.
