If the BBC’s reporting “Nathan Cofnas, a self-defined "race realist" who argues genes play a "non-trivial role" in intelligence differences between racial groups” is accurate then I hold a markedly different view on this matter than Nathan Cofnas.
Where education and culture are concerned I believe that nurture vastly outweighs nature and that splitting hairs over (highly questionable) intelligence metrics to make generalisations is as pointless as it is divisive.
That said, Nathan Cofnas is entitled to his opinion. I disagree with it (assuming the reporting is accurate) but that is not a reason for him to lose his livelihood.

@CharlotteCGill Can you as succinctly as possible describe the path between tax receipt into treasury to research grant. I appreciate there’ll be a ridiculous number of permutations but can you give some common examples please.
@SBarrettBar I respectfully disagree with you. A Minister for AI is essential. AI is about to transform the world in a way that will make us look back at how we live today in disbelief.
@martini_film A 180 degree sweep around the side and to the back of them, and then a 180 degree aerial sweep over their heads and back to the original starting angle please.
Afternoon so I have heard on the news that millions of 16-24 year olds are going to be unemployed and getting benefits ER now I am not a politician I am just a former boxer who is now trying to help people with mental Health & other issues but Why oh why doesn’t the benefits people make every 16-24 year old who does not have employment work at a charity or a gym so many hours a week get their attendance confirmed before they can have benefits it’s not quite national service but what a difference it would make.
I attended the Unite The Kingdom rally today to do interviews with participants and understand, in their own words, why they were there.
While I found some of the speakers addressing the rally genuinely abhorrent, the people I spoke to were quite decidedly… not. (1/7)
“If one meets a powerful person ask them five questions:
"What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
And how can we get rid of you?’
If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system” – Tony Benn
