I implore everyone to read this brilliant book review of Kathryn Paige Harden new book on the genetics of criminality. It cuts right through the bullshit to state plainly what Harden's project really is: eugenics bullshit and grifting lareviewofbooks.org/article/orig...
lareviewofbooks.org
Natural Election | Los Angeles Review of Books
Kathryn Paige Harden’s new book offers a defense of a kind of Scientific Calvinism that converges with the eugenicist ideals of the contemporary Far Right.

Given that Harden has a new book out that is largely a repeat of her first book, The Genetic Lottery, here's a list of critical reviews of that book. 1. Lottery, Luck, or Legacy: gcbias.org/wp-content/u...
In our view, these instances reflect a more general tension in the book, which arises
from trying to have it both ways: to argue that PGS for educational attainment provide
interpretable and meaningful predictions of inter-individual differences that reflect under-
lying genetic causes, yet to claim that they have no validity beyond hypothetical ancestry
group boundaries. As we have laid out, we believe instead that current PGS for educational
attainment are neither interpretable nor particularly meaningful. GWAS undoubtedly cap-
tures some causal genetic effects, i.e., more than confounding alone, and there is interesting
science to learn from these initial findings. But we currently understand next to nothing
about the causal paths from GWAS findings to educational attainment, notably the extent
to which they include analogs of Jencks-style “red hair effects” and the legacy of accumulated
indirect effects. That may not matter when PGS for EA are to be employed as a statistical
tool in the study of the impact of local social interventions, but it matters greatly when they
are used to elucidate, let alone redress, social inequalities.
Given these limitations, we do not see what the field of genetics has to add to the conver-
sation about redistributive justice, beyond confirming what has long been recognized–that
life outcomes differ for all kinds of reasons beyond people’s control–and we very much doubt
that overstating our understanding of the genetics of behaviors is going to increase empa-
thy. As the author appreciates, there is a history of this kind of practice, invariably with
nefarious consequences, yet every generation seems to believe that their technological twist
will help them to avoid the same pitfalls. Despite its engaging narrative, the Genetic Lottery
therefore leaves us unconvinced, and with the impression of genomics serving as a distraction
from much more exigent political conversations

If you had any doubts that Stonewall is a danger to trans people, here is Kathleen Stock praisng them in the Times. "When the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration"
Can Stonewall Mark II put trans wars behind it?
New chair talks of consensus but she’ll have a tough job unpicking charity’s bullying stance
Kathleen Stock

In the history of gay rights, there have always been fearless souls willing to face down mobs of pitchfork-wielding fanatics, but perhaps none so brave as Kezia Dugdale, incoming chair of trustees at Stonewall. In an interview with The Guardian this weekend, the former Scottish Labour leader did the unthinkable and praised JK Rowling.

I suspect that the uptick in attention to AIPAC is related to its dramatic interventions in recent elections in defense of its ongoing campaign of genocide in Gaza. Probably a combination of that and high-profile efforts by prominent Democratic politicians to combat their influence.

No, I am not, because my views on the topic are informed by research showing that anti-semitism is not a symmetrical problem on the right and left. I do not believe that Bernie Sanders is an antisemite. Was it evidence of Russophobia for liberals to call attention to Russian influence in the US?

In the wake of the Holocaust, survivors like Adorno and Frenkel-Brunswik set out to measure anti-semitism in order to combat it. The result was The Authoritarian Personality, one of the most influential works of social psychology. This is the basis of a massive field of scholarship and activism.

Hen Mazzig, the "progressive" , "pro peace" Israeli influencer gave an interview to a Israeli lifestyle magazine in which he says he pretended to support Kamala Harris in order to maintain his credibility, but in fact he thinks Trump is great . See alt text.
Translation: On November 24, Donald Trump was elected to a second term in the White House. Although Mazzig openly declared his support for Kamala Harris, today he is no longer ashamed to say: "It's lucky that Trump was elected. The steps he is taking are the best for Israel. It's a kind of miracle that happened to us.

So why did you still support Harris?

"I realized at some point that if I don't say I support Harris, no one will work with me. Even now, if I say something positive about Trump, people won't want to work with me. It's still a very burning issue."

as foretold by the prophesy
Managing requires certain kinds of soft skills, ones I am not confident you possess. They weren’t necessary in your cushy Wall Street Journal op-ed job, or your cushier New York Times op-ed job. They were barely required at the publication you invented, The Free Press. So now you’re the head honcho at CBS News. [highlighted text] Let’s say you decide to skip levels to directly edit a 60 Minutes story. It doesn’t even have to be a controversial story to make all hell break loose — because you have neither the credibility nor the relationships required to take this kind of work on. And what’s more, you’ve got a news division composed exclusively of ambitious piranhas below you — not your handpicked cronies, like Tyler “I wish to see Hollywood virgins” Cowen. These people have decades in television, and you have a newsletter and a history of throwing your colleagues under the bus. [end of highlight]

Two main conclusions from this Fuentes-Carlson interview: 1) MAGA has tried to keep Fuentes out of mainstream circles for years—and knows it failed. The movement’s shift to increasingly radical rhetoric, especially in TPUSA circles, was in part them trying to compete for the youth’s attention. 1/n
