Polite Conversations

My guests for this episode include science ‘influencer’ Mr. @Evopsychgoogle, evolutionary biologist Kevin Bird @thebirdmaniac on Twitter and anthropologist Cathryn Townsend @cathryntownsendOn this part of the panel we discuss the panelists’ recent article in Stat News (linked below), on how this type of junk science continues to be legitimized to this day, despite glaring errors in the data.We discuss self-described ‘scientific racist’ Richard Lynn as well as E.O. Wilson, Steven Pinker, Sam Harris, Charles Murray and their contributions to race ‘science’. We also talk more broadly about how the Intellectual Dark Web has played a major role in reviving it in recent years.Links:The Panelists’ article that we discussed in the beginning of the episode:Journals that published Richard Lynn’s racist ‘research’ articles should retract them https://www.statnews.com/2024/06/20/richard-lynn-racist-research-articles-journals-retractions/My previous episodes with Mr. @evopsychgoogle:Pt 1 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4jSFhcmT6xNJ4JOwbEkscE?si=JnGZZ36GTNSVYKr0dYz4FgPt 2 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5gvuP3xLyqKSpJgTjf43A3?si=AenT06jVTuGNc-pd6W4BtAMy Miniseries on Sam Harris ‘Woking Up’ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1caIpbHnvDjKu0Ph4DA0Nb?si=DxI59yjtRjuDV7rQSv9cEw&pi=u-kmAFEyuTRNiJIf you’d like to support the show pls subscribe to the YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@politeconversationspodcast——Other Related articles:Quinn Slobodian article about the Pioneer Fund and The Bell Curve: https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-white-man-unburdened-slobodian-schraderThe Tainted Sources of The Bell Curve: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1994/12/01/the-tainted-sources-of-the-bell-curve/Free book by William Tucker on The Bell Curve: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-41614-9Primary research articles debunking Lynn:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104160801000035X?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1041608009001071?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886909003675?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289609001470?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289609000634?via%3Dihubhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886909002475?via%3Dihubhttps://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/tzr8chttps://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/26vfbhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1041608024000141?via%3Dihub
