Amazing how the NY Times can report this stuff as racist and conspiracist only to nonchalantly affirm it months later: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/magazi

  I cannot see where the NYT article you link is calling the Young Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDiH) racist. The article reports a claim of racism that was made by the Society for American Archeology but this claim was about the idea of an advanced ice-age civilisation, not the YDIH. From your link: The society also argued that Hancock’s idea of an advanced ice-age civilization echoed and promoted “dangerous racist thinking.” (Hancock posted a detailed denial of these claims on his website.) I can't find where the NYT article is calling the YDIH "conspiracist". The article reports the opinions of others who seem to think there is something conspiratorial to it, but the article itself does not directly claim that it is conspiratorial.
