This tweet from Bo Winegard not only tells you everything you need to know about that racist neo-Nazi dirtbag, but all you need to know about the people who agree to co-author anything with him. |
contemptible gang of right-wing grifters, racists and race pseudoscience promoters who ever took money from Charles Koch and Peter Thiel.
Just looking at the list of authors makes it clear this has nothing to do with science and everything to do with a rightwing political campaign.
The good news is that the fact that so many evolutionary psychologists are participating in this political campaign probably indicates that evolutionary psychology is being greeted increasingly with skepticism by real scientists.
And since evolutionary psychology is indeed a pseudoscience - see biologist P. Z. Myers' explanation for exactly why - they have no option but to try to salvage their bogus wrong-side-of-science-history careers by aligning with Koch grifters and race pseudoscience ghouls.
As you might expect, professional racist Steve Sailer is thrilled that so many of his fellow racists have banded together.
Here's the gang:

Let's break down the list of ghouls, goons and grifters:
- Cory J. Clark - race pseudoscience ghoul and frequent co-author with racist neo-Nazi Bo Winegard.

- Roy F. Baumeister - race pseudoscience ghoul who has published with Cory J. Clark and Bo Winegard
- April Bleske-Rechek - evolutionary psychologist - author at racist Quillette
- David Buss - the king of evolutionary psychology, especially now that Tooby is dead, confuses female sex slavery with female choice, like you do when you're an evolutionary psychologist
- Stephen Ceci - evolutionary psychologist, beloved by the gang at the International Society for
Race PseudoscienceIntelligence Research - Marco Del Giudice - evolutionary psychologist

- Glenn Loury - Koch employee via the Manhattan Institute - author at racist Quillette
- Louise Lu - "I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Behavioral Marketing at Stanford Business School." So I'm gonna say "grifter in training"

- Pamela Paresky - rightwing grifter, former (or possibly still is) Koch employee via FIRE and fan of the incredibly ghoulish Gender Wars cards

- George Yancey - appears to be a Christian nationalist or at the very least a Christian nationalist apologist - a crackpot who opposes gay rights and pushes the idea that "support for sexual minorities is strengthened by hatred of conservative Christians"
- William von Hippel - evolutionary psychologist - author at racist Quillette
