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

Quillette editor: We're not phrenologists. Craniometry is not phrenology! Another Quillette editor: We're not conservatives. Lots of non-conservatives are phrenologists!

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?

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.
