Does "right and proper" mean "acceptable" or "mandatory" Because (and I very well may be wrong here) his statements seem, to me, consistent with both being acceptable and neither being mandatory.

Thank you for writing it. I knew bits and pieces of Lynn’s misuse of IQ tests but not the full extent. I found it infuriating that he was taking studies that were looking at the effects of malnutrition on IQ and treating them as the baseline.

When the right pules about "censorship," they never seem to have any compunction whatsoever about the fact that what is being "censored" is an obvious and odious lie. We should have more courage in suppressing (though not through government power) the dissemination of bullshit.

No idea. I never saw the final book, but I'm guessing my comment was ignored. Given his apparent dedication to the cause of racism, it's hard to imagine that a stray criticism from a copyeditor would deter him. Always been glad that I did what I could to object, though.

Journals that published Richard Lynn's racist 'research' articles should retract them

Richard Lynn's work has been repeatedly condemned for using flawed methodology and deceptively collated data to support racism. It's past time to retract the studies.

Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

"Leave if you don't like it" is super funny because I know how racists act when they run out of minorities to oppress -- they turn on each other, or even invent whole new minorities, or engage in never-good-enough purity testing on each other. Their whites-only paradise is pure fantasy.

Like what, for instance? I mean, when you’re talking about First Amendment decisions, you’re usually talking about decisions where the possible outcomes are telegraphed years in advance. You might not know whether it will be A or B, but it’s not going to be Q.

I mean, there’s being a legal realist, thinking that judges are influenced by bias and politics and other forces, and there’s being a legal Dadaist, thinking incorrectly that courts routinely reverse course completely on constitutional issues with no warning.

No, but unironically, that’s exactly what a lot of his supporters want. Remember: During his first term, when his approval rate was sagging, the media asked his supporters why and one response was “he’s not hurting the right people.” His supporters actively care that he’ll hurt people they dislike.

Someone who says "someone should fix that" and then rolls right into choosing to be that someone who fixes the thing. The fastest way for someone to be unattractive to me is to not see all the invisible keeping-shit-together work all around you, and to fail to actively participate in it.
