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.

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.
