He had me until he threw in Charles Murray.
I want to believe these bold defenders of classical liberalism and enlightenment values, but I am not oblivious enough to the subtext. I can see what they're trying to wedge into the discussion.
It reminds me of the old 2000s intelligent design "wedge strategy" to sneak literalist creationism into schools and academia, only now it's biological racism that's got to be wedged in there. If you don't like over-zealous woke-ism, stop making them look reasonable by trying to sneak ideological racism in the back door.
It reminds me of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

"We're not racists... we're... pining!"
If they wanted to talk about the biological basis of human behavior, there are a million better researchers in this area than Charles Murray that do not have the baggage. Try one of these people:

Oooh look, "ethnic differences in brain structure" returns 10+ pages of papers by people who apparently are not being "cancelled." That's strange for a topic that you're supposedly not allowed to study. Maybe they're not being cancelled because they are just doing science and not trying to soft pill people on ideological racism.
These people think blacks are intellectually inferior to other races. That's what they think and they need to admit it or shut the fuck up. That is a dead parrot.
