The International Society for Intelligence Research doubles down on racism ~ look it's Claire Lehmann!

The International Society for Intelligence Research did not share its annual meeting program online for 2024. 

I suspect this may be due to the fact that I created a spreadsheet tracking ISIR meeting participants, based on meeting programs. 

Although it could just mean they don't have their shit together.

But tracking ISIR annual meetings shows that ISIR meetings always include at least one hardcore racist. So...

In 2024, neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard gave a presentation, but his presence at the meeting is not mentioned on any official ISIR materials. 

We only know he was there thanks to eye-witness accounts and Russell T. Warne sharing the information in a tweet, which the ISIR made him take down - but not before it was captured by someone who shared it with me.

I bet against ISIR publishing its 2025 annual meeting program, but they did post this publicity item on their website and lo and behold they have not failed to include a huge racist this year - Claire Lehmann, founder of racist Quillette.

Lehmann was a promoter of the career of white nationalist Bo Winegard, attacking me personally in 2018 for daring to point out that Bo Winegard was a racist who wrote for Quillette.

This woman -->@ngmcclernan who has previously boasted about getting @razibkhan fired from the NYTimes is now going after @EPoe187 for his writing on Quillette. I don't normally get angry over trolls, but bullying & smearing a grad student is simply despicable.

Claire Lehmann has even been known to have friendly exchanges with Neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard on Twitter.

Lehmann is a right-wing racist ghoul. 

And the fact that she's getting an award shows that the ISIR is doubling-down on racism.

That and the fact that David Geary, who has co-authored rightwing bullshit with white nationalist Bo Winegard, is the keynote speaker.

And Lifetime Achievement Awardee William Revelle published a paper that cited the racist bullshit of infamous racist J. Phillippe Rushton.

And the ISIR founder who is being honored, Douglass K. Detterman, is a hardcore hereditarian who supported The Bell Curve's views on race and has been taking Arthur Jensen Pioneer Fund money since the founding of the Institute for the Study of Educational Differences, now called Institute of Mental Chronometry.

Neo-Nazis, racists and white nationalists - oh my!

It couldn't be any clearer that ISIR is not a scientific organization, it's a rightwing racist political organization pretending to be a scientific one.
