Lawrence Krauss' Race Science Problem

So I’m going to talk about this book again. I wasn’t going to, because my whole thing was that I could review it accurately without ever reading it. But more has come to light since it was actually released, and that is that somebody did read it. Namely,

🔒 How Free Speech Internet Culture Cooked Our Brains

The Party of Emotion

Of all the slogans that were thrown about during the 2024 US election I think the one that frightened the Republicans the most was Kamala Harris’ threat that “we’re not going back.” What the right wants more than anything is to go back. That’s what it is, at
