      @grkraml @davidgerard I'm not going to read this long review that argues for UK to ally with Hitler line by line but it's pretty bad. Scott: "various scattered historical examples which they seem able to parse better than anybody else. see for example: https://foseti.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/review-of-the-last-lion-by-paul-reid/ …"

      Siskind lying through his teeth denying his obvious alignment with Murray. An interesting phenomenon in all this has been the out and proud neoreactionaries/eugenicists calling for Scott to “stop being a coward”.

      ^In a thread worded cleverly to raise the hackles of those who are fans of both Scott and Murray. They find themself stuck between a rock and a hard place (admit scott is racist or be forced to criticize Murray through clenched teeth).

      A lot of us were frustrated by Scott’s refusal to stop giving a platform to Nazis on his blog but it’s less of a puzzle given his explicitly stated desire to provide a recruitment pipeline for reactionarieshttps://twitter.com/CultGuide/status/1361257584175575043 …

      To anyone who is following the Scott Alexander Siskind issue, this take is perennial and accurately describes exactly what happened to SSC and every single one of its spinoffs.

      Eliezer Yudkowsky, definitely not wannabe cult-leader, condemns Topher as obviously evil for coming forward with these tweets. More surprising is the lack of significant disagreement in the thread. Needless to say, the contents of the emails are never mentioned by Yud or others.pic.twitter.com/brL6IuPL93

      I don't think I've seen criticism of Scott for these emails from even a single follower of his on public channels. Dangerous mindset when criticism cannot be aired in the interest of protecting the community's image. PDF of facebook thread:https://pdfhost.io/v/9Ww2WUi8k_20210219115113_fullthread_1pdf.pdf …

      As Arthur points out, the rationalist community does not have a great history with handling abuse in their community with anything remotely resembling accountability.

      Oh boy look what surfaced from 2014, Scott Siskind comment where he replied to JayMan's bullshit comment on Jennifer Raff's review of Troublesome Inheritance. Dismissing a trained expert to believe a racist HBD blogger and telling him you love his blog. So much for "doxxing"!!!pic.twitter.com/ILPkYFfhfY

          Fascinatingly, it seems that he used his real name to be ... more racist than he could under his more popular pseudonym. Puts the lie to the entire "doxxing" controversy, making it clear that the true objection was to negative coverage.

          @jeremyyoder writes a blog post on speciation of the three-spined stickleback.

          My apologies I meant to tag @JBYoder in the previous tweet. Do you recall this interaction by any chance Jeremy? Moving on, another appalling entry on Scott's LJ. He is "not really interested in debating the moral good or evil of eugenics here"! https://web.archive.org/web/20131229233748/https://squid314.livejournal.com/338295.html …pic.twitter.com/ZpBqE3i82o

          ... in a very precise way. In 2017, 3 years later Scott wrote a several thousand word essay on the IQ of Ashkenazi Jews based on a paper by the scientific racist Cochran who was mentioned earlier. He has mentioned Jayman favorably over the years.https://twitter.com/avi_eisen/status/1363363299870593024 …

          In the discussion above, @avi_eisen points out that Scott had linked to Jayman and Cochran's blogs and a hypothetical detractor could have come across them there. Various links to HBD by Scott were dug up by someone in a comment on Aaronson's blog here. https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=5310#comment-1879433 …pic.twitter.com/GQs1CYFktk

          ... this seems to me to be a distinction without a difference. Given the evidence from the email that Scott lies (and specifically on this topic) when it suits his public image I find it much easier to believe that he put up that disclaimer when somebody stumbled on it.
