The first two paragraphs alone seem pretty damning to me and 100% on brand for Pinker. It's just coincidental but the term "human biodiversity" sounds like something he would say.

The Harvard psychologist and bestselling author Steven Pinker appeared on the podcast of Aporia, an outlet whose owners advocate for a revival of race science and have spoken of seeking “legitimation by association” by platforming more mainstream figures.

The appearance underlines past incidents in which Pinker has encountered criticism for his association with advocates of so-called “human biodiversity”, which other academics have called a “rebranding” of racial genetic essentialism and scientific racism.

I like guilt by association. Had multiple dinners with Epstein, and probably went to his island? Gulag.

You don't have to convince me you're cool, I was already assuming that because you're here.

Are you talking about his associations with Epstein, or his associations with eugenicists. Because in both cases, as we know, if there are 9 fascists and 1 liberal sitting at a table, there are 10 fascists sitting at a table.

Fuck that.

Friends with a white supremacist? Guilty of being perfectly comfortable with white supremacism.

Bring back ostracism.
