I am hated by Emil O. W. Kirkegaard*, a racist and according to British comedian Stewart Lee, a "weird far-right paedophilia apologist."
Kirkegaard is a major player in an international race pseudoscience network as shown in the report "Race Science Inc." by the organization HOPE not Hate.
According to the report, Kirkegaard's Human Diversity Foundation has received the remaining money of the infamously racist Pioneer Fund. Which makes Human Diversity Foundation essentially the new Pioneer Fund.
I'm also hated by race pseudo-science promoters/anti-trans grifters Razib Khan and Jesse Singal.
So I must be doing something right.
Fun fact: Khan has appeared on Kirkegaard's Aporia podcast.
I am an admirer of anthropologist Marvin Harris, whose criticisms of sociobiology/evolutionary psychology inform my views of race and gender essentialism.
You can see videos of Marvin Harris here.
Recommended reading: anthropologist R. Brian Ferguson's "Materialist, cultural and biological theories on why Yanomami make war" to understand cultural materialism, sociobiology and the differences between the two. It's only 17 pages and it's free here.
But why am I being so mean to Steven Pinker, world-famous "celebrity intellectual"?
Because he's the media-friendly face of race pseudoscience and named by Bari Weiss as the most respectable person associated with the Intellectual Dark Web.
In his article about Pinker entitled "The World's Most Annoying Man," Nathan J. Robinson writes:

In his article about Pinker entitled "The World's Most Annoying Man," Nathan J. Robinson writes:
Pinker is supposedly “such a nice guy,” a person who is restrained and moderate and reasonable, who laments that politics has gotten so vicious and tribal. And yet in his books, you find him comparing environmentalists to Nazis and campus anti-bigotry initiatives to Stalin’s purges. Those he disagrees with are “quasi-religious,” “authoritarian,” they push “emotionally charged but morally irrelevant red herrings.” Al Gore and the Unabomber belong together. When anthropologist Jason Hickel critiqued Pinker’s theses in the Guardian, Pinker snapped that Hickel was a “Marxist idealogue” while leaving many of Hickel’s arguments unaddressed. Is this what the Chronicle called Pinker’s “relentless friendly persuasion, a kind of indefatigable reasonableness”?
* Fun fact: Steven Pinker is one of Emil Kirkegaard's influences.
