I think I’m looking in the wrong… ports. For the first time ever I cannot find a thing. Still very glad it’s available.

Totally off topic but this article is very interesting

" Shepherd also wondered how "another method of identifying piracy" would help the books industry, given that users on sites such as Mobilism – where last year he found someone offering a reward for anyone prepared to produce a free ebook version of The English Monster – "are openly encouraging each other to acts of piracy, and publishers seem basically unable to stop it".

I get it, it's just a weird vibe thing. I've got a friend who spooks horses.

Yup it’s just a thing.

He wrote this paper arguing some races are intellectually inferior to others: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09515089.2019.1697803#abstract

I hope the inferior race is him, otherwise he’s done a massive self own!

Anyway I’d be interested in the GWAS data he used in order to assert this genetic difference, however it seems to be missing? How long has he been a geneticist?

Edit: Actually, forget it. Not worth my time.

Yeah, I think the nuance of how it’s spoken about, the focus, the impact, is going over your head.

I found the actual online conversation this was referencing (about 6.30m in) & to be fair it sounded like JA did say semi or possibly some professional football after being in academy system & that he tried to join professional snooker tour but failed so I think the correction Bath put out was fair & appropriate.

What struck me though was that even being Dxd with autism/Global development delay he clearly had many gifts and a supportive family although it's portrayed by the interviewer as a challenging early life. He seemed to have friends and to have the self belief to be able to find opportunities for himself as well as having a mother who advocated fiercely for him.

I mean ... I can tell what he's trying to say, it's not quite gibberish ... but it's in no way well written, and seems to be burying the lede. There's more jargon than necessary, and it's opening the door to circular logic.

Are you able to screenshot what he said for the x-less?

Is he a racist?
