tl;dr

Also, needs nsfw tag.

Isn’t Steven Pinker on the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs?

Someone blend their faces

I’m sorry, I cannot stand yet another “scholar” mixing neoliberalism with capitalism, social ideology with economic ideology.. and I believe implying the good ’ol “communism-capitalism” stupid dichotomy.

Not to mention all the reminder linking the dots craze. Pinker criticizing this and this is not even an attack of the ideas behind marxism, let alone I don’t see where in the hell it should negate the merit of “working through the political consequences of one’s research”. The reminder political implications sound mot then.

Peterson’s “benign and platitudinous argument that we have to be race- and sex-blind and treat everyone as individuals” is not “radical libertarian logic”. And it’s not *even* a reason in itself to be against affirmative action, provided you admit at least sociocultural inertia to be a thing.

As we all know these two are.. morons, to say the least, considering they always seem to “push” in (or should I say to?) one way only, without acknowledging they leave open quite despicable thoughts.. But hell, intent is in the eye’s of the beholder too I guess?

Why was all this forcing to the point of disingenuous needed? Why tarring everything with the same brush worse than they’d even do? You could have made the usual disparaging article on, say, the funny ideas over jews’ intelligence inheritability.. Instead we got this misinformative crap?

And I just stopped 1/4 through the article here.
