Can't miss an opportunity to make it about himself I guess

I don't know i had to skim it too. Its hard to see what point he's trying to make. I can see why many of wikis choices are shit but he also seems to complain about takis magazine being removed witch just seems like a sensible choice. And he's still up on his high horse about that conference where HBD people were invited to speak. They think "rationality" is about seeking heterodox thinkers but you don't see anyone who believes in shit like miasma theory or any other discredited idea besides race there.

EA will basically adopt any stupid issue except for socialism. They support welfare for animals and machines but not humans at least not through systemic change

Why do they care about hbd to begin with? Listening to fringe ideas isn't a formula for becoming smarter

He's getting mad at scientific american again because they wrote a shit opinion peice but he should know the wiki guidelines are generally against citing opinion pieces as fact in your article

"Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (invited op-eds and letters to the editor from notable figures) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."

Same here, and I'm not even sure what was so bad about what was said because it was generally a tame article compared to many others.
