Reviewed by three individuals, two anons but Piffer likely knows
their real identity, the other is ex-editor in chief of Mankind
Quarterly Gerhard Meisenberg who is director, with Richard Lynn, of
the far-right Pioneer Fund.
Meisenberg holds no credentials in psychology or genetics and is a
biochemist. The laughable review thread is below:
Another individual participated in the review process - Julius
D. Bjerrekær a MAGA supporter who holds the whopping big
accomplishment of a BSc in sports and was one of the idiots with Emil
Kirkegaard behind the OKCupid data leaks in 2016.
Emil Kirkegaard seems to be hiding the (humiliating) outcome of the
lawsuit he filed - from all his followers. He filed a defamation lawsuit
in 2018 after called a “pedophile” on Twitter. It went to the High Court
and he lost the preliminary judgment in 2019; he then discontinued the
lawsuit in 2020 having won no damages - he’s now liable to pay the
Defendant all his legal fees.
Noah Carl (who is associated with OpenPsych) also recently discontinued his lawsuit against the University of Cambridge. Both Kirkegaard and Carl claim to be "freedom of speech" warriors but file (and lose) frivolous lawsuits when someone says something about them they don't like. Hilarious.
Is Emil still well regarded in the LW world? He was mean-girling
Yudkowsky kind of recently, aside from being a disgusting
embarrassment to them from an outside perspective.
Looks our favourite race scientist with psychic abilities is back publishing
nonsensePolygenic scoresOpenPsych’s peer-review process is a complete sham. Let’s look at Piffer’s most recent paper -
