what’s even controversial here? if they were to pass off raw mz correlations to claim high-bound estimates of heritability for intelligence are ‘genetic,’ then sure, critique away. but the idea that the underlying genetic architecture for a trait like intelligence is probably

g theory being the libtard version of anti-vaccine sentiment is hilarious.
Straight up eugenics ads on the NYC subway now. Zohran please ban this shit.

Absolutely thrilled to share the latest work from my lab focused on the variation and evolution of centromeres among global human populations! We assembled 2,110 human centromeres, identifying 226 new major haplotypes and 1,870 α-satellite HOR variants. https://t.co/Rt7oreYwZy

pretty fun that accusing random people and doxxing them because you’re an engagement-hungry slop account has become the median acc on the everything app

i’m pretty sure this account spent days doxxing and accusing random people of being the shooter at brown. when it turned out none of those innocent people were involved, all of a sudden it’s a government conspiracy. average slop account on the everything app.

Excited to announce a new book telling the story of mathematical approaches to studying the mind, from the origins of cognitive science to modern AI! The Laws of Thought will be published in February, and is available for pre-order now.

Typical bioethicist coping and seething.
”Now is the time to be proactive and try to put some guardrails on [embryo selection]" But why bother if it doesn't work? And if it does work, then shouldn't it be made cheaper so everybody can use it? What more effective way than capitalism? https://t.co/1bq0iGEhqz

I wish I had the post at hand, but a while back there was a lawyer working for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) who essentially admitted that a number of left-leaning institutions have been for decades committing flagrant CRA violations proudly and often
The remarkable thing about discrimination in higher ed: so much of it was documented. Approved in official records. Talked about in emails. All subject to FOIA. Like this email, where a University of New Mexico professor just says: "I don't want to hire white men for sure."

Let's play a game where we create our own definition of "eugenics" to malign someone who explicitly uses a completely different definition of the term so we can make them sound like a Nazi! Here's the definition Sasha uses side-by-side with the one Anomaly uses/identifies with.
This is a fraught topic so it is good to define some terms. I am following the writing of Galton and the Eugenics Society to define eugenics as an ideology that conditions reproduction on perceived genetic quality.

One of the funniest things about Sternberg's 'practical intelligence' is what it actually looks like in practice when tested across contexts.
