The Brian Ferguson Interview

After the exposé - who worked for Emil Kirkegaard after the Hope not hate exposé? Besides Steven Pinker.

I've been writing about who works for neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard, based on reporting from the UK organization Hope not hate, primarily from their exposé Race Science Inc

And exciting news - the undercover reporter of the exposé, Harry Shukman, published a book about his experience.

Based on that Hope not hate article, I wrote: Who works for Emil Kirkegaard and HDF, the new Pioneer Fund? 

(HDF changed its name to Polygenic Scores LLC.)

Next I looked at the archives of both Aporia and The Jolly Heretic and based on those, complied a list of contributors in So who ELSE works for Emil Kirkegaard and HDF (aka POLYGENIC SCORES LLC), the new Pioneer Fund?

However, I limited the list of contributors to only those who worked for Emil Kirkegaard before the Hope not Hate exposé. Because some of those people (obviously not Amy Wax, Jared Taylor, Charles Murray, etc.) have plausible deniability: maybe they didn't know how extremely racists those media outlets are, and maybe they didn't know those media outlets are owned by Kirkegaard since at least March 2023, and maybe they did not even know who Kirkegaard is.

But those who contributed to Aporia and/or the Jolly Heretic after the exposé have much less plausible deniability. 

Because not only did the Guardian publish an article about the Hope not hate report "Race Science Inc.," but both Aporia and the Jolly Heretic published responses. Aporia's editors Bo Winegard and Noah Carl also got together to bitch and whine about the investigation on Aporia in November 2024.

So those listed below, who contributed after the exposé, are either idiots, or they likely agree with - or at the very least are untroubled by - the racism and neo-Nazi ambitions of Emil Kirkegaard. And yes, this list does include Steven Pinker.

Aaron Dymarskiy - some guy with a Substack wrote an article for Aporia claiming anti-Black discrimination hasn't really been so bad after all.

Alden Whitfeld - an anti-democracy creep with a Substack, wrote an article for Aporia.

Alex Kashuta -  Interviewed for Aporia before and after the exposé.

Arctotherium - "is a writer concerned with the future. You can read more of his writings at his blog" - published an article for Aporia. And another. And another. Yes and another. And another. This one makes six. This one is seven.
