Cathryn Townsend: "Epstein's Gifted Scientists" (A Screed on Race Realism)

LOOOOOOLOLOLOLOL

I guess you shouldn't expect too much from an anthropologist writing on a venue called "Liberal Currents"...but this is a weak effort by just about anyone's standards.

Not really the first part, so much, which is about famous academicians who hung out with Richard Epstein. That pretty much seems like legit reporting. The most surprising bit to me was when I looked on of the pix from the "Lolita Express" and thought Hey, that looks like Dan Dennett...which, indeed, it was. Alongside Steven Pinker and Richard Dawkins...

   Anyway, smart money says none of these guys knew what Epstein was up to. And lemme tell ya: it's easy to seduce academicians with money, attention and flattery... That's probably the really embarrassing part of the whole thing. According to one participant, the only girls they saw were young, but of legal age. And, of course, no old farts can be blamed for being entranced by young, attractive women.

   But the essay becomes downright laughable when the author comes around to her real point: trying to link Epstein up to race realism. Of course she uses the politically correct dysphemism "scientific racism"...which isn't even vaguely accurate... She gives no arguments against race realism, but, rather, relies on the reservoir of negative emotions and hysteria that drive so much of leftism. REEEEE Heterodox Academy!!11 REEEEEEEEEE Nathan Confas!!111 REEEEEEEE IQ differences!!1111!! REEEEEEEEE Steve Sailer!1!1! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....

   It's all pretty pathetic. But it's all the Cult really has on this one. Lysenkoism is the lifeblood of Woketarianism... And, since they're wrong, they're really gonna have to go all-in on this one. They're in too deep. If large numbers of people start letting themselves actually consider the evidence, major pillars of leftism will come tumbling down...
