Seeing Cremieux Recueil will be there, does anyone know who's behind it, what's the deal with it, etc? I'm always seeing it pop up on these freaks' timelines and I imagine it's eugenics shit but I can never be bothered to dig enough to find the really incriminating stuff. It's well creepy though.
frequent ACX commenter, Here he is on IQ and genes Very into citing OpenPsych as solid gold scientific fact. Race scientist, yes.
Wow, I knew what I was in for but god that's unpleasant.
There's no clearly-articulated theory of cultural regression to the mean, but there is a genetic one, and it is consistent with the results.
Ahh, see, racism is just more intellectually convenient.
Hosting entity appears to be at the bottom:
Ben Pace & the team at Lightcone Infrastructure.
Could start digging from there
Aha! It turns out Cremieux is the r/slatestarcodex poster formerly known as /u/Tr--yPorn0 (slur dashed out), or TP0 for those who don't even want the slur in dashed-out form. A really persistent race scientist with a habit of (a) misrepresenting the papers he spammed as links (b) misrepresenting himself. He used to run a tiny blog as "Cremieux" when he was claiming to be an economist from Liechtenstein. Then he got pumped by the other race scientists. So I expect this to very much be Racist Fest.
some past hits from TP0:

his style is gish gallops and paywalled papers that turn out not to support his claims, and citing Emil Kirkegaard's pseudojournals a lot
Here's another good one: https://old.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/12qbsfo/tpo_has_joined_twitter_been_tweeted_by_paul/
paywalled papers that turn out not to support his claims
My favorite tp0 moment was when someone pointed out the identical twins in an adoption study he cited were barely separated, and tp0 blocked him and left the original chart using data from the study up.
Googling the blog name brings up this delightful interview

Crémieux was kind enough to grant me a podcast, where we covered all manor of things Based, from the IQ of the Ashkenazis, why the Vikings were violent, the effect of selection events, and the need for anonymity in Based science.
Ah yes, anonymity, a cornerstone of the scientific method.
Wow amazing, thank you. What a sicko.
someone re-invented email-threading. It's billed as a way to have "long and complex discussions." Their prototypical example? Yud's utterly pointless thoughts on imaginary scenarios conjured up by his immense brain. Orange site is skeptical and yearns for 4chan instead.
The feature I am looking forward to the most in comminication apps is having a machine learning model listen to those "quick calls", generate summary and action items and post them right back in the thread. You get the benefits of both worlds that way.
Oh, you do, do you?

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
