my honest reacton:

Edit: Judit Polgár for ref if anyone wants to learn about one of the greatest of all times. Her dad claimed he was doing a nature/nurture experiment in order to prove that anyone could be great if they were trained to master a skill from a young age, so taught his 3 daughters chess. Judit achieved the rank of number 8 in the world OVERALL and beat multiple WC including Kasparov over her career.

idk its almost like if more girls were encouraged to play chess and felt welcome in the community these apparent skill differences might disappear

    Judit Polgár

    Sadly, I know where this goes, they will just point out she is Jewish and point to that. (I think SSC even did that).

    Wishful thinking on my part to think their sexism/eugenics posting was based on ignorance instead of deliberately being massive piles of shit. Don't let them know Iceland has the highest number of GMs/pop or else we'll get a 10,000 page essay about how proximity to volcanoes gives + 20 IQ points.

    Indeed. He did a post entirely about the family being Ashkenazi Jews. You're never going to guess the premise of the post!

    Was it about how feminism is bad.

    No wait sorry, I'm misrepresenting his position.

    Was it about how only 30% of feminists are sane and the rest are insane?
