The feedback from Claude AI we're all striving for: "It's perfectly phrased — friendly, concise, and ends with a clear actionable question. No changes needed." I am pleased. 😌

As a historian of biology, until a decade ago or so, I had been under the impression that we have to be sophisticated to spot the remnants of eugenics and 19th century scientific racism (e.g. Troy Duster’s idea of “backdoor eugenics”). But this kind of stuff takes us straight back to the 1920s-30s.

Latest communications undermine Chomsky’s earlier claims that he primarily had financial dealings with Epstein
