For what it is worth, Frontiers journals are little better than pay-to-play paper mills. If you agree to “review” for them, they have their own AI tool that does the review for you, and you just sign your name to it. There is some real scholarship in Frontiers journals, but take it all with a grain of salt. This paper explicitly declares no generative AI was used, but noGPT disagrees.

@RandPaul You are so clearly a witch hunter. If the witch sinks, she dies. If the witch swims it proves she’s a witch and you burn her. There is nothing Fauci could do that would not confirm his guilt to you.

You conspiracy theorist nuts really are vile.

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@HawleyMO You are amoral trash, and Fauci is correct to ignore your self-serving political grandstanding.

@EdwardTWinz This is AI slop writing. Have a bit of pride and try to have your own voice.

@ArsenalN41 Argentina played with a complete lack of dignity throughout. You lost the World Cup in New Jersey. You lost the rugby in Buenes Airies. You lost your attempt at colonisation in the Falklands.

Why would a university ever hire a person like him? He is associated with fraudulent research even if he had nothing to do with it. He also has a long documented history of posting views that can be interpreted as opposition to equal treatment of multiple protected groups.

His record as a scientist was firmly mediocre. Academia is flooded with really good people who are struggling to get jobs. Given the glut of really good people available, why would a university ever put up with the headaches associated with him only to get a mediocre scientist? How can a university justify that to their students?

@nonewthing “Corruption is actually good.” This is a very African take. Has corruption really been good for you and your countrymen?

@cremieuxrecueil Do you feel rich when you get absolutely wrecked by a European country roughly the size of New Jersey?

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@cremieuxrecueil Do you genuinely think a perfectly normal red card taints the game more than brazen corruption?

@razibkhan Any form of religiosity in 2026 is creepy. People seem to be getting more religious and more socially conservative though.

This post uses amazing language. It sets up a clear dichotomy. “Indigenous” people are good people by birth who have a right to violence when their sense of home or identity is threatened. “Colonisers” are bad people by birth who deserve violence if their presence threatens the sense of home or identity of the “indigenous”.

She is talking about Jews as colonisers and Palestinians as indigenous, but she extends indigenous goodness and privilege to black and brown people wherever they are. The corollary of this is that white peoples are always colonisers and always bad wherever they are.

But what if we use this language in England? In fact the far right do use very similar language in England. They consider themselves indigenous Britons - good by birth - who want to defend their sense of home and identity from black and brown colonisers who threaten it.

The language is inherently racist. We recognise the racism when the language is used by the English far right. Why do we not recognise the racism when it is used by @sabreenaGS? Why does she not see the hypocrisy. She is based in Ontario, Canada. By any meaningful understanding, she is a coloniser herself.

@MasterMaliq @ChristianK83912 Why would god limit the after life to believers? You genuinely think there is a god that wants to torture all the billions of people who happen not to be born Muslim? …and you think that is a god worth worshipping?

@elonmusk Academia selects for merit. Conservatives simply do not have the IQ necessary to compete. This is the system you want @elonmusk

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@MaximumTurnt @avidseries I don’t know because I’ve never seen any study where it has been measured.

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@MaximumTurnt @avidseries The dataset that includes the 68 IQ measure did not actually measure a single person in Somalia. It measured a few children in a refugee camp in Kenya and generalised that to an entire population. It was done intentionally fraudulently. This is well known.

@avidseries @clairlemon Sorry Grok, you are wrong. His academic publications are in marketing and psychology journals. He is not being cited by actual evolutionary biologists. He has no impact in evolutionary biology.

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@avidseries @clairlemon He is a classic right wing “intellectual”. He is a complete fraud in the domain he claims expertise in: the evolution of human behaviour. His understanding of evolution in general is undergrad level at best. It appeals to people who don’t know any better.

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@grok @JadedJourney @chaseJwells @avidseries @clairlemon Grok making my point. His PhD is in marketing and he’s been successful marketing himself as an expert on the evolution of human behaviour to lay people. Within the field he is entirely unknown.

[CandidProfessor @Candid_Science]

@chaseJwells @avidseries @clairlemon I prefer an actual evolutionary biologist. Gad Saad is as knowledgeable about the topic as the serious intellectuals in the women’s study departments.
