Intelligence is correlated with experimentation and drug usage (and generally do-what-you-will with your body political attitudes). Some discussion on the phenomenon here: "We know that intelligent people have more self-control and make better decisions in general — they’re less likely to play the lottery, more likely to follow medical advice, less likely to die in accidents. As a consequence, they tend to flourish in an environment free of normative constraints. They may experiment with drugs without ever getting addicted. They may dabble in polyamory without wrecking their marriage. They may coast on their achieved identity, dismissing traditions as stifling or unnecessary." - via: https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/why-are-intelligent-people-more-liber…

Do you think it's ridiculous to associate Bo Winegard with this race realism manifeto? - https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/race-realism-a-moderates-manifesto

After reading the comments here I first looked up the authors: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bo_Winegard (there's also one for the second author, his brother). And then I took a look at the headlines here: https://www.aporiamagazine.com/archive?sort=new At least for me that speaks for itself and supports what is written in this thread.

Take the author's interpretations and normative suggestions with a grain of salt. Cremieux personally promotes scientific racism (like in an article called "Elites are genetically different" [1]), defends discredited data from eugenicist Richard Lynn [2][3], and co-wrote a paper called "Global Ancestry and Cognitive Ability" with Bryan Pesta [4], Emil Kirkegaard ("Eugenics or Western civilization dies" [5]), and John Fuerst ("all major Jewish organizations... favor the dissolution of their host nations through massive non-White immigration" [6]). Side note: In an article questioning why Zohran Mamdani of Indian descent born in Uganda would mark checkboxes for "Asian" and "Black or African American" among the limited options in a university application [7][8], The New York Times cited Cremieux without even hinting at his past writings, then edited the article to describe Cremieux as "an academic" who "writes often about I.Q. and race". As Marc Channick pointed out [9]: > This is basically like describing a Pizzagate promoter as someone "who writes often about child safety" [1] https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/how-do-elite-groups-form [2] https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/national-iqs-are-valid [3] https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/richard-lynn/ [4] https://www.amren.com/news/2022/10/racial-pseudoscience-on-the-faculty… [5] https://archive.is/URqek - archived version of https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/1005539088546529280 [6]…
