The Guardian published an excerpt:
I asked Frost about the underground research team that he had mentioned last time. He told me it is run by Emil Kirkegaard, a race science advocate I saw in Tallinn but did not meet. Kirkegaard, who is Danish and looks to be in his late 30s, has a reputation as perhaps the most active writer in the race science world today.
I noticed that Frost talked about “our organisation”, instead of just Aporia. I asked what the difference was, and he explained that Kirkegaard was in charge of an LLC, a limited liability company, registered in the US, in a state with helpful privacy laws. Frost indicated that the LLC had received more than £1m from a mystery investor, roughly a 10% stake. I name-dropped a couple of American billionaires known for investing in far-right projects, just to see if it would elicit a response, but Frost stayed tight-lipped, except to say that when he met him in Vienna in June to raise more money, the funder was “in a down period” due to negative press. Who was he? Despite Frost’s indiscretion until now, I sensed that this was a detail he would not divulge, and decided not to press him further.
Frost talked about how the 10-man underground research team publishes articles on race science online and in academic journals, which Aporia then promotes. He described himself simply as the pursuer of truth, as many race scientists do. “You’ve been telling us for over half a century that it’s evil, but it’s true,” he said. “I personally think it’s immoral to bury your head in the sand.” (Frost told the Guardian he did not hold far-right views. He announced his departure from Aporia in August last year. However, he said in his announcement that he would not entirely quit. “I’ll still write the occasional piece and host meet-ups,” he wrote.)
Nervous but determined to pin him down, I told Frost that what he had built sounded like a version of the Pioneer Fund. To my surprise, he agreed. He even said that Pioneer’s remaining money had been inherited by Kirkegaard, who is now using it to power his new company: the Human Diversity Foundation. (Kirkegaard maintains that his politics are not “far right” but “heterodox”.)
Later, Frost recounted a conversation he had with his business partner Erik Ahrens. Ahrens is a communications expert with the AfD in Germany. Both hope that if the AfD gets into power, it will enforce remigration, a euphemistic term for mass deportations. “Imagine if Germany did that,” Frost said in a hushed, animated voice. He said he told Ahrens: “It’s your fucking duty to do this.” (Frost said he had parted ways with Ahrens in December 2023 after becoming aware “of our divergent political views”.)
Frost fantasised about filling ships with people and manoeuvring them to Morocco, and forcing the government there to receive human cargo: “We’re smarter than you, we’re bigger than you: you’re going to do this.” His eyes were shining with enthusiasm. “Imagine that this happened in the next 10, 15 years; what that would do for the west, for Europe.”
The bill arrived, and Frost said he had another meeting to dash off to. Once he had gone, I phoned Hermansson to relay the details. The Pioneer Fund isn’t back, I told him. It never went away. It has rebranded, reformed and gone into hiding as a private company, its projects more nimble now they have moved into the dark.
Unfortunately the article doesn't mention that Human Diversity Foundation was renamed Polygenic Scores, LLC.
Matthew Frost is described in the Hope not Hate article Race Science Inc.:
Matthew Frost is another key figure in HDF. He is a former religious studies teacher at Kensington Park School, a private institution, in west London. Frost, who goes by the name Matt Archer, is the founder of Aporia. He has also attended the clandestine London Conference on Intelligence, a gathering of scientific racists and eugenicists that was formerly held at UCL, and in 2023 and 2024 was organised in Budapest.
Frost/Archer founded a Substack called "Ideas Sleep Furiously" which was taken over by Aporia in March 2023.
In the next post I will be listing those who have contributed to Aporia and the Jolly Heretic after the Hope not hate exposé, and the responses, were published.
