It takes 2 minutes of research to see how Linda Gottfredson is involved in the White nationalist/alt-right eco-system. Either Pinker is being deliberately dishonest here or foolishly ignorant.pic.twitter.com/rUAmQnLqIt

Linda Gottfredson is on a "McCarthyite list of extremists by the @splcenter" because she's financed by the white nationalist Pioneer Fund & has a documented history of peddling pseudo scientific racism against Black people.
You can always count on Pinker to defend race realists.https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1051277271099674625 …

It's really one thing to demand that known race realists be allowed to speak at universities, quite another to conceal incriminating facts about someone that can have potentially dangerous consequences for broader society.

He has been defending that nonsense for decades.
-
it's all ideological
-
Maybe he just receives support from shady right-wing groups that enable his grift.

i'm not entirely sure if this is true, but there are rumours that he's funded by koch bros. i can't confirm this, primarily because i've heard it from second hand sources & haven't done any research myself.

He sometimes does talks for a thing called Learn Liberty, which is part a project by the Institute for Humane Studies that's funded by the Kochs. The time Pinker was saying positive things about the alt-right was in one of those talks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJ5bvw6Ckw …

so it all adds up...

Well you don't accidentally promote bullshit for decades without people calling you out.

Jeebus, the people in that thread, calmly insisting that there are proven differences in intelligence - and then citing IQ tests as evidence!
-
thesis & methodology of 'racial difference in cognitive differences' fall apart under closer scrutiny, people who believe this nonsense do so because of ideological reasons, not because of quality of scientific evidence.

*'racial difference in cognitive abilities' i made an error there
-
All good; it was pretty clear what you meant.

Disappointing to see Pinker headlining CSICon
-
I expect nothing less from them now that RDF runs the show. Maybe SciBabe can give a lecture on how to defend sexual abusers when they're your friends...

I wonder if Pinker will read the thread to see how many are enthusiastically agreeing with him about the validity of race science.
