The most interesting bit about the Coates/Goldberg leaked transcript was how Coates kept repeating that people like Andrew Sullivan don't see people like him as "fully human"

I don't think that's relevant. Of course people will value different people in different ways, when I say "worth" I mean specifically the ethical conventions that govern our treatment of individuals as human beings as distinct from animals
-
I would say that any functional society has to have norms around this and TNC would rightly argue that societies like the antebellum south did have a class of people who weren't considered "fully human"

His argument is that TBC's ideas are basically equivalent to the dehumanization or (lesser humanization) of entire groups.

Blackpill for me w/ TNC is he's exactly the sort of high IQ type you'd select for w/ merit-based immigration. Yet he sees everything through the lens of group identity and despises white people; spends his time sowing racial animus. It's not about his IQ/success, but his group's.

There's a whole different set of problems that arises from importing a foreign cognitive elite.
