+ * On 13 February 2021, [the _New York Times_ article on _Slate Star Codex_](https://archive.ph/zW6oX) came out.
+ * notably, the Charles Murray guilt-by-association was a reach on the part of the reporter
+ * a "[Gettier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier_problem) attack"—right for the wrong reasons
+ * Anyone who's _actually read_ Scott's work, knows that Scott thinks hereditarianism is plausible.
+ * Charles Murray is _also_ agnostic about causality.
+ * (maybe footnote) ["The Atomic Bomb Considered As Hungarian High School Science Fair Project"](https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/26/the-atomic-bomb-considered-as-hungarian-high-school-science-fair-project/) or the ["Biodeterminist's Guide to Parenting"](https://expost.padm.us/biodet), or the mention of _Human Varieties_ in ["Can Things Be Both Popular And Silenced?"](https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/05/23/can-things-be-both-popular-and-silenced/)
+ * (It's certainly _possible_ for the Ashkenazi IQ advantage to be real and genetic, and black–white gap to be fake and environmental.)
+ * Scott's denial doesn't go into this, of course
+ * Brennan email leak
+ * my comment on bullies and heresy / my Twitter comment on lying
+ * If you actually read the email, it doesn't look like Brennan made any promises—Scott confessed, and threatened. I don't think Scott did anything wrong—_because_ I don't think belief in hereditarianism is wrong. If you imagine someone confessing to a real crime and then threatening "Don't tell anyone this", we would regard the leaker as a valiant whistleblower, not a privacy breaker
+ * Yudkowsky reopens the conversation?! Why?!
