And now we get to see the great whitewashing of Cofnas. As someone who strongly believes that Cofnas should keep his postdoc position, I agree that it's worth revisiting what he's actually argued. Let's take a look ... 1/
With Nathan Cofnas back in the news—and being labelled a far-right "race scientist"—it's worth revisiting what he's actually argued. Back in 2018, he and Jonathan Anomaly wrote a careful takedown of the alt-right's favourite anti-Semitic text, Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique, exposing its distortions and offering a far simpler explanation for Jewish intellectual prominence.

EXC: .@GoodwinMJ’s new book “Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity” is out now, and I’m only 5 chapters in and have found a huge amount of what appears to be false quotes and basic misinterpretations of data, that appear to be AI hallucinations.
Matthew, can you explain the claims you made in the book that I’ve outlined in the below thread?

Andrew Wakefield wrote a small, scientifically worthless paper pretending vaccines had something to do with autism.
It turned out to be not just crap but actually fraudulent, for which he lost his medical licence.
He's one of the biggest villains in medical history.

"The American right has no coherent message or ideology besides being against the left. It has no good answer to the major issue of our time, which is the question of lingering race disparities. We have almost no effective institutions. We control literally zero serious PhD-granting universities. Even universities in solid red states remain in the hands of our opponents. Among graduate students and assistant professors at elite institutions, our representation is very close to zero percent. The right has been shut out of editing Wikipedia—the most influential source of (alleged) information in our society. Conservative culture revolves largely around figures who are some combination of grifter, crackpot, criminal, conspiracy theorist, anti-Semite, or racist-in-a-bad-way. We produce virtually no art, music, or literature. Right-wing discourse is dominated by people doing 'physiognomy checks' on each other, calling Democrats pedophiles, and telling people not to get vaccinated and that they can cure their cancer with ivermectin. None of this was changed by the election of Donald Trump."

I turned 50 this week. I drank champagne and cocktails, and ate curry and cheese. I’m going dancing in Amsterdam and I know a lot about science.
I’ll bet this narcissistic vampire lunch that he dies before me. And if he doesn’t, it’ll certainly feel like it.

1/ Layperson: “I’ve figured out how to make airplanes faster, lighter, and way more fuel-efficient. I don’t need a degree or experience—I just see what others ignore. Wanna hear it?”
Engineer: “Sure. I’ve been an aerospace engineer for 20 years. Let’s hear your breakthrough.”

Correct. This is the trap finally closing on anyone left who believed this was a real social media platform. It's just a propaganda instrument controlled by a fascist. None of the interactions occurring here are organic in their number or reach; they're engineered by an oligarch.

By default just ignore anything any of these guys say. That’s my health advice.

This country does not have, and has never had, an official language, and this is a good thing. It’s no more the function of government to prescribe language use than it is to prescribe religious observance. And if you imagine the English language is under threat, you’re deluded.
