@KaskaJessica@nuance_guy@Martina@saIforddave Self ID has nothing to do with a GRC. It is "I am what I say I am" and therefore have all the privileges of my adopted persona. Including access to single sex spaces like saunas and communal showers.
@wlaotearoa I would argue that race does not exist as defined discrete entities. I instead use ethnicity as it incorporates historically relevant genetic differences between what used to be fairly isolated populations.
@Kassandra_Zerb@HJoyceGender@latsot They allowed him total of freedom of speech until they didn't and then suspended him and seem to be trying to fire him.
@Kassandra_Zerb@Chumocracy@ripx4nutmeg He didn't say that. He said based on reported IQ scores, there should be very few black profs if high IQ is required to be a prof and highering is solely based on merit. As echoed by Harvard themselves.
"Race and IQ scholars are bigger frauds than Jason Arday"
(1) Every scientist publishing in human intelligence (including antiracist progressives like Harden, Turkheimer, Nisbett, and Flynn) concedes a US white-black mean IQ gap.
(2) The (very left-leaning) American Psychology Association officially affirms a 15-point gap.
(3) Only two comprehensive opinion surveys have ever been conducted of scientists conducting research in this area, and in both at least a plurality indicated that the gap is at least partially influenced by genetics. In the most recent survey (published in the journal Intelligence in 2020), 84% indicated that genetic differences were responsible for at least some of the gap. (About half believe 50% or more of the gap is genetics-related.)
Cofnas, as far as I know, believes that a non-trivial amount of the gap is due to genetics.
So where is his fraud?
@Kassandra_Zerb@HJoyceGender When have I supported Trump? I'm not even American. Though I still think Kamala would have been worse. I support good policy in politics, not any particular party.
@Kassandra_Zerb@Chumocracy@ripx4nutmeg Do you think the average IQ of all countries or ethnicities is the same?
There is plenty of evidence against this presupposition. Interestingly, white European is not the top scoring group. Askenazi Jews and South Asians generally score higher? Is it racist to study this?
@Kassandra_Zerb@horton_official When the dust settles and the world is less insanely woke lefty, you will realise that you had a complete blindspot on this subject and took an emotional empathetic approach rather than a, what was truthful approach.
@Kassandra_Zerb@HJoyceGender Why mention Trump?
Just because there is a pathological liar in the world does not mean every other pathological liar should be excused from scrutiny.
@Kassandra_Zerb@HJoyceGender Can we agree that he lied on multiple occasions during interviews?
And that academia and MSM failed in their due diligence to fact check his claims?
@Kassandra_Zerb@HJoyceGender He claimed to have written a book that didn't exist, been in a tv show 20 years before he was born, been a visiting Prof but the unis have denied this, been sent a pigs head, been in a coma
@manymiaows@Kassandra_Zerb What are you talking about?
There are videos and audio of Arday making ridiculous claims that have been shown to be lies.
You sound like a conspiracy nut claiming multiple journalists at multiple agencies have all agreed to lie about him and conceal evidence?!?
@carajak@ripx4nutmeg@JayJeeAHF@jk_rowling@Hasbara_Bob@shadrach_shad The discussion should be, was his argument based on solid evidence and would therefore have a high liklihood of being true? Rather than discussing if it is offensive/racist. The truth matters more than people's feelings.
@carajak@ripx4nutmeg@JayJeeAHF@jk_rowling@Hasbara_Bob@shadrach_shad Do you think there could be a genetic influence in IQ?
Do you think there are genetic differences between ethnic groups?
Could it therefore be the case that genetic differences in ethnic groups influences the average IQ?

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
@manymiaows@Kassandra_Zerb The book does not exist. The universities denied he worked there. The TV program aired 20 years before he was born. Were you not aware of this?
@manymiaows@Kassandra_Zerb Arday claimed he wrote a book, was on the TV show 7 up, was a visiting Prof at multiple Unis. All of these are easily provably false. Multiple people who knew him as a child say his claim of mutism is a lie.
