Oh. Looks like people are (once again) figuring out that silicon valley and effective altruism and longtermism and the rest are all bound up root to ass with eugenics and white supremacy.

So: Welcome to the party; there are a LOT of academics, researchers, and people with direct lived experience, already here.

@Wolven
A lot of people in tech "know" that some "races" are more intelligent, or more violent etc. than others.

They think that it's a simple scientific fact which can be measured and reduced to numbers, and that mainstream society has simply decided it's not polite to talk about, the way we wouldn't stare at a person with a facial deformity or remark on someone with poor personal hygiene.

When they get together with other "rational" people who "know" these same things they feel free to say it out loud.

If you ostentatiously pose as “rational” you don't need to do boring stuff like look at evidence.
