    Only an EA could take seriously someone who approvingly cites journals like “Mankind Quarterly” and crackpots like Richard Lynn, Steven Hsu, Jonathan Anomaly, and Emil Kirkegaard.

    The author considers himself a “rationalist of the right” and a libertarian who enjoys Richard Hanania and Scott Alexander. He describes ten tenets of right-wing rationalism, 8 of which are simply rephrasings of various ideas promoted by scientific racists. It would be an understatement to say this guy is monomaniacally focused on a single topic.

    (Oh, and he publishes his brain farts on Substack. Because of course he does.)
