Bon article qui rappelle que l'eugénisme n'a pas commencé à l'extrême droite. Il a été porté par des réformateurs, et le New England Journal of Medicine l'approuvait, parce que ça promettait d'améliorer l'humanité. Cet eugénisme s'affichant "progressiste" existe toujours. nautil.us/the-return-o...

LOL they literally settled as I was typing. Only $17 billion but product changes are major: •limit minors’ access to 2 hours/day •blocks from midnight-6am •Notifications blocked between 10pm-7am & during school hours •concealing likes for minors •banning beauty filters •can deactivate the news feed

Meta is in the midst of a trial for addicting children to its websites. It could cost them $200 billion (or even $1.4 *trillion* by some accounts). It could be the end of social media as we know it, and @ryanlcooper.com feels fine: "Social media... is a gravely toxic institution."

Article flamand (-> traduction auto) qui montre que De Vries, le titulaire qui a recruté Cofnas sur un gros financement européen ERC, est speaker dans des congrès racistes et publie sous pseudonyme qu'il faudrait "interdire l'entrée aux réfugiés ayant un faible QI" pour des "raisons génétiques".

Bouke de Vries, de professor die Nathan Cofnas aan de UGent heeft aangesteld, blijkt helemaal in de ban te zijn van eugenetica en rassenwetenschap. Het probleem gaat verder dan louter Cofnas. apache.be/2025/12/22/f...

Just updated my critique of Lynn's 'national IQ' data; a core plank of scientific racism for decades. Includes a response to recent defences of the datasets. Conclusion remains the same: ‘National IQ’ datasets do not provide accurate, unbiased or comparable measures of cognitive ability worldwide

Abstract of the critique:

In 2002, Lynn and Vanhanen produced a dataset which claimed to provide average ‘national IQs’ for nation-states worldwide. Despite extensive critique, this dataset, and subsequent updated versions, have been used in many empirical publications. Here I evaluate the latest version, produced in 2019 by Lynn and Becker, and show that this dataset is not fit for purpose. The primary data sources are inadequate for calculating ‘national IQs’. Most data originates from samples which are wholly unrepresentative of their national populations. Many are convenience samples with small sample sizes, collected over a wide date range (the oldest from the 1940s), often including only children and often including individuals selected because they had particular characteristics (i.e., were deliberately chosen to be unrepresentative). The transformation of cognitive test data from these sources into ‘national IQs’ involved a series of questionable assumptions and arbitrary adjustments. Some of these assumptions were based on Lynn and Becker’s prior beliefs about intelligence, including that regional and racial differences in IQ exist. These methods will result not just in error in the dataset but systematic bias. Even if representative data and appropriate methods were available for constructing ‘national IQs’, it is impossible to generate comparable measures of cognitive ability from culturally diverse populations across the globe. ‘National IQ’ datasets therefore do not provide comparable, accurate and unbiased measures of cognitive ability worldwide, and should not be used to draw inferences about global variation in intelligence.

⚠️Nouveau sur l’Obs des masculinismes. Il me tenait à 🖤, cet article. D’abord parce que Jason Arday est mort, et que j’en suis dépitée. Ensuite, parce que la manière dont il a été mis à mort dit tellement d’où nous en sommes, collectivement, dans la fascisation des sciences et de nos démocraties.

Everyone who says this about race science and eugenics specifically is outing themselves as stunningly ignorant. It's so hard to have even passing familiarity with biological and social science literature and not know the myriad was these ideas have been refuted that it almost has to be intentional.

Patrick Sturgis@patricksturg.bsky.social · last wk.

How about refuting them on theoretical and empirical grounds? That is kind of how science works. It doesn’t work by calling people names, refusing to engage with their claims and attempting to get them fired.

La violence de ce qui se passe aux États-Unis. Les haïtiens d’une ville d’Ohio doivent porter des bracelets électroniques, en prévision de déportations de masse. Ils avaient été les cibles du racisme de Trump pdt la campagne « In Springfield, they are eating the pets of the people that live there ».

“People are in extreme mental distress.” More than a hundred Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, have been fitted with ankle monitors by ICE, according to a local organization. The devices will make it far easier for federal authorities to locate people if full-scale deportations begin. nyti.ms/4y1V8hr

Parmi les universitaires qui signent cette défense du raciste Cofnas en faisant croire qu'il est un "lanceur d'alerte" alors qu'il se revendique explicitement comme payé par l'université de Gand pour "avancer la grande révolution héréditariste" et les "barrières entre les races", il y a donc FBB.

Wow. There are more names in support of Cofnas here! More than 300 academics defending the conduct of a gutter racist. johnarmstrongmaths.com/openletters/...

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

With respect to Cofnas, why is nobody talking about this in the MSM? > We find it [improbably] that [he] was the best out of 14 candidates for this job[. His boss] repeatedly stated in the press that [he] published in highly ranked journals and had been affiliated with leading institutions. 1/n

Ce post s'adresse aussi aux biologistes français : on a tendance à percevoir cette résurgence comme purement US/UK, mais les sciences racistes et eugénistes reviennent partout dans le monde. La pseudo-neutralité est une forme d'inaction et de laisser-faire. On a le devoir de monter au créneau.

T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦@tryangregory.bsky.social · 2w ago

If you're a biologist, especially one in a field that has a history of eugenics and racism (which absolutely includes my own field of evolutionary biology) and you choose to remain "neutral" as race science once again crawls out from under its rock, you are not in fact neutral.

L'affaire Cofnas-Arday, en Grande-Bretagne, pose la question du maintien de standards de rigueur à l'université, sans armer ceux à l'extrême-droite qui veulent la détruire. Il faut donc comprendre l'origine de l'attaque (Cofnas est un neonazi) sans relativiser le plagiat ou les pb de recrutements :

Gregory Kohn@kohngregory.bsky.social · 2w ago

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

No, that is not the alternative The alternative was treating like a normal news story, and not a trial by media - one that was so clearly turbocharged by Arday’s ethnic and social background and the growing resentment in the establishment in the UK of having more black people in high places

Terry Watkins@gerrygow.bsky.social · 2w ago

The alternative to this is people lying with impunity, with the media knowingly covering it up. It's an awful story. And the media will get a lot of the blame. But those who perpetuated the lies and shielded Arday from facing up to them deserve more of it.
