Reminder I have regularly argued that likely most of the bad outcomes in black communities (higher levels of crime and poverty) are downstream to the old drug wars and the destruction to families caused by the high incarceration rates of black men.

I mean phrenology isn't really an actual thing anymore, but it was cheeky reference Aella's proximity to scientific racists like Diana Fleischman

Seems she might be Phrenology *adjacent*. Mates with Lehmann and Quillette I think. I'm sure she knows it's nonsense tho

wat, do ppl get described as "belief-adjacent" for being friends with ppl with those beliefs, now? I still hang out with my mom, does that make me anti-gay adjacent?

It seems unlikely that bumps on the cranium correspond with personality or mental traits.

what is your opinion on so called "scientific racism"?

Could you give me a concrete belief to respond to as opposed to a term? I'm not super familiar with what people interpret 'scientific racism' as referring to.

For my part I was wondering about Phrenology (which you have denounced) and Craniology. I don't know specifically what Kay was asking about.

Idk if i'd frame it as 'denounced', it's just that I haven't seen any evidence that supports it. If there seemed to be good evidence id be like hmm seems to be maybe a true thing. But I haven't seen any.
