Hey @spavel.bsky.social I hope you don’t mind but we did the thing for real
I implore everyone to read this brilliant book review of Kathryn Paige Harden new book on the genetics of criminality.
It cuts right through the bullshit to state plainly what Harden's project really is: eugenics bullshit and grifting
