This interview confirms my conclusion in my recent post on Cofnas's "Hereditarian Revolution." Far-right "race realist" politics based on how he sees the world, and the "races" that inhabit it. Minimal claims that scientific evidence supports his views. jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/nathan-cof...

The reality is that DNA has little if anything to do with causing "psychiatric disorders." Psychiatric genetics is a "null field" of science, producing confirmation-biased p-hacked research, going all the way back to its "Munich School" origins in 1930s Germany. www.madinamerica.com/2015/10/erns...

The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity. Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. It is not a threat. It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

A leading anti-hereditarian thinker and writer has passed away. A great man who will be missed. His work lives on, such as the classic 1984 book he co-wrote which influenced me greatly, "Not in Our Genes."

Yes, as I and others have documented, there's a lot of history re-writing done by IQ hereditarians and other genetic determinists (TBC = The Bell Curve [1994 book]; B/W = supposed U.S. Black-White mean IQ score group differences).

Well before initiating the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart (MISTRA) in 1979, psychologist Thomas Bouchard believed that human intelligence "is largely under genetic control." The MISTRA results were later p-hacked to confirm this belief. jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/a-reevalua...
