Gutter racists Steven Pinker and Scott Siskind team up to promote neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard

So the last post I wrote was focused on Eric Turkheimer's bet over hereditarian beliefs with Charles Murray and hereditarian Murray lost. Although of course he can't admit it.

Meanwhile, Steven Pinker is promoting hereditarian ghoul Scott Alexander Siskind's website Slate Star Codex, while claiming that hereditarians have won. 

Because there is no data that will convince gutter racists like Murray and Pinker that their "hereditarian hypothesis" is incorrect.


Both Pinker and Siskind like to promote hardcore racists Emil Kirkegaard and Jordan Lasker (Cremieux.) 

We've already seen that Pinker has no shame about participating in the neo-Nazi magazine/podcast Aporia.

And in the Slate Star Codex post Pinker links to from X, Siskind does his part in promoting neo-Nazi ideology pretending to be science:

Emil and Cremieux argue that we know why this study found low heritability of IQ. It’s because you can’t give 347,630 people a full-length IQ test. So they gave these people a short crappy IQ-like test with a lot of random noise. Past studies estimated the reliability of this test at 0.61 (low). It’s easy to statistically correct for this; when you do so, you find that if the test had been better, this study would have estimated the heritability of IQ at 55%. This is still on the low end, but it’s already within the hereditarians’ estimate of 50 - 80%, and there are a few other biases that might be bringing it down too (eg healthy volunteer bias).

Emil of course is neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard. On the word "argue" Siskind links to Kirkegaard's blog.

Here's how we know that Kirkegaard is a neo-Nazi.

Cremieux is Jordan Lasker, who works for Kirkegaard's neo-Nazi organization, as described in the Hope not hate expose, "Race Science, Inc." And when Lasker is not spending his time promoting race pseudoscience, he's a right-wing political activist as when he utterly failed to hurt the mayoral hopes of Zohran Mamdani.

Although there's so much overlap between right-wing politics and race pseudoscience, I'm sure it's all the same to Lasker. I've written about how hopelessly infused hereditarianism - especially behavioral genetics - is with racism. And while writing that series of posts, it was clear how much overlap there is with behavioral genetics and right-wing political views, when I found Abdel Abdellaoui calling Steve Pittelli's website, which critiques behavioral genetics, "a far left hate blog."




Right-wing beliefs are a perfect complement to race pseudoscience and vice versa. There will always be be an almost-perfect overlap between members of both categories.

Siskind has been an ally of Kirkegaard for at least nine years, you can see him promoting Kirkegaard back in 2016:

3. And Emil Kirkegaard crunches some numbers that broadly support the latest discussion on here about non-shared environment.

Prior to that he was expressing his agreement with racist kooks Steve Sailer and HBD Chick.



Here is where Siskind works, when he isn't spending his time promoting race pseudoscience and neo-Nazis. 

Imagine taking psychiatric advice from a racist who promotes race pseudoscience and neo-Nazis.
