He considered himself a "left hereditarian", it wasn't subtle, he said so

Where was this? I don't remember seeing that. (Obviously an archive link will be needed.)

Did he ever actually use the term "left hereditarian", or is that your gloss on what he said in that post? Because what he said there looks about as far away from "race science" as you can get without going full blank slate. The quadrant here is labeled cooperative/pessimistic.

Just to clarify, you think he's motte-baileying between <some things are heritable> and <black people are inferior>, right? This is the standard HBD motte-bailey, right? I want to be sure that I understand your position.

I don't actually care, the "motte" of IQ realism and believing in the g factor is bad enough by itself

So, we're now a long way away from <didn't ban Sailer, therefore an HBDer.> If you want to motte-bust IQ and g, well, I'd love to read that article, but a random Twitter thread is not the right format, for sure.

He didn't ban Sailer because his own opinions are on the spectrum of "hereditarianism" You know, the kind of people who lump everyone else in the world into "full blank slate"

I think we're going around in circles a bit here. You think Scott is pro-HBD, because you think belief in IQ/g is itself bogus, and all "hereditarianism" is equally unacceptable, right? Not banning Sailer is just another piece of evidence for that theory, given that axiom. OK.

Well, that's ugly. I guess I'll, as they say, "update my priors" on this.
