I to, am giving serious consideration now to taking early retirement. When HR ask why I am resigning I will simply say I am not happy with the company's Anti-White Racist policy, that policy you refer to as "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion". If all senior White Engineers, Scientists, Health Workers and Government workers all took the same stance and took early retirement, the Government would have to demand an end to the Anti-White Racist DIE policy.

Both are/were PhD economists, authors, keen social and historical observers, and amongst the most eloquent speakers and defenders of ideas our modern times have produced, irrespective of race.

Given how 'eminent' universities in Britain have cheerfully accepted large sums of Chinese cash - in return agreeing to forbid any criticism of the CCP on campus - what hope is there for intellectual freedom in the halls of academe? The great and good in the west seem to be abandoning reason.

Mr Webb: today’s Daily Mail has article and map on IQ levels in the US, which have declined. Comparison with a map of distribution of black people in the US shows a very obvious correlation (which as you often note, is not the same as causation…). Worth a video I believe.

[@-Kailinn-]

It's possible to debate if we stop acquiescing to weak-willed people who haven't been brought up properly by good parents. Look at how they reacted to J.K. Rowling, I read what she said back then and was blown away they decided she was being phobic of any kind. Some of these people have made it their whole life though, their entire identity is the group they affiliate with the strongest. Others have monetary incentives to continue pushing a narrative. Some other folk have undergone irreversible medical alterations which makes it extremely difficult for someone who lacks conviction to come to terms with the potential that they made a mistake, that's especially true for the people who convinced them to do it. If someone does something like that as a child it's much easier to pin the blame on the adults around them, and absolve themselves of personal responsibility. Taking responsibility for something you did as an adult makes people feel stupid for having done the thing they've realised was a mistake.

Oh the irony, "inclusion and diversity" selects candidates based on gender and race and favours those that are not straight, white and male. But that kind of open and blatant racism is absolutely fine.

[@JupiterThunder]

The Cambridge professor, Nathan Cofnas, said “Truth is intrinsically valuable, it is scientists’ duty to uncover it even when controversial..." That's quite true and it reminded me of a quote by Al-Kindi: "For him who scales the truth there is nothing of higher value than truth itself; it never cheapens nor abases him.”

I am black and i agree with this man 100 percent. It brings into play the matter of IQ which I believe differs among groups

[@alexdavis1541]

Cofnas has long drawn the ire of academia for his research into IQ. All the left wing establishment of Cambridge needed was an excuse to get rid of him and he has, perhaps inadvertently, given them this. He is Jewish. And, given what is currently going on in Britain and the wider west, it will be interesting to see how his case pans out. Today we are seeing the cancellation in Britain of black "comedian" Dane Baptiste, for threatening comments at a Jewish woman. We are also seeing the "liberal" US establishment raiding "antisemitic" campuses and passing blasphemy laws to protect Jews. Cambridge has gone against the current trend. The issue highlights how this newly arisen battle within the liberal-left is shaping up. Unfortunately the outcome matters to all of us, even though it is really about minority communities amongst us

[@MrMjp58]

[@alexdavis1541]

@@MrMjp58 Thanks, but I should have pointed out that, since power always reveals itself in the end, the outcome of the wider battle will reveal who is actually influential, and in the ascendency, in the west. The "Jewish lobby", or the "Third-Worldists". This is an important question for us

It is a law that protects that particular community as well as its state (tried using the actual names but it got deleted) from criticism under terms defined by the IHRA (you will have to look up the abbreviation because I dare not state it here) which is based in Sweden - not even the US. It is the first time the US will have passed a law that directly challenges the first amendment while also aiming to protect both a specific community and a specific country from, pretty well, any direct criticism. While also relying on definitions put together by a foreign NGO All of this isn't without context. It is within the context of the internal liberal-left tussle taking place

Simon's desire for an considered, exploratory dialogue rather than a knee-jerk reaction seems so terribly dated; it's reminiscent of the tedious thesis of J.S. Mill's "On Liberty", (1859). Doesn't Simon know that times have moved on? At Cambridge these days, we know the truth of anything by the simple application of woke-think.
