This affair is particularly disappointing because the APS prides itself on being the more academic and scientific cousin to the much older APA (American Psychological Association), which can include as members your neighborhood therapist.
I have read the first 9 pages out of 21 pages of Lee Jussim's paper. He excellently articulates why Roberts' paper is a non-science (my words). The article was fun for a time. I stopped reading because it was just too depressing that this critique of Roberts was even necessary. Roberts and others like him are stupid and amoral and they will dominate this discussion.
What is honestly sad is most of the people reading this don't even realize yet that we are far past words.
The entire point this whole time was to make us 'the enemy' for simply being good people.
Words like 'racist' being used against us, regardless of our opinions of any race.
If you ever wonder why Gen Z is mad at the Baby Boomer generation, this is why.
You have left them with a wrecked market and economy, inflation to the point where they bring home about 1/3 what their grandparents did and 1/2 of what their parents did, not including the cost of living, a system of politics which is corrupt beyond repair despite what hope you have, and a educational and professional system which will ruin your life if you don't openly recite mandated words or dogma.
Frankly, Boomers, you can go F yourselves.
Your 'best intentions' allowed the darkest forces to corrode our once great nation.
There is now little difference between our and any other nation, because we have no one enforcing our freedoms, and every political madman stripping them away for power.
And now we are left with you still 'talking things through' as if that is going to help,
Has it helped?
From what I see, using our words has been what has slowly dragged us into this mess.
Until an actual revolution happens in the western world. All is lost.
How sad that the biggest hope we have at the moment is a billionaire that had to forcefully take over a company to expose their extreme bias against half of the western world.
Oh, but they were fine with videos of child porn and muslim beheadings.
This is helpful, thanks for posting. But do you think it was a good idea for the editor to ask Hommel to do the final "quality control" on the exchange (as per the posted emails), given that the main focus of the exchange was a dispute between him and Roberts?
I read all the papers in full and can only say that what happened was both wrong and inevitable. Roberts paper is exactly what you would expect post 2020 and the mobbing and capitulation are a kabuki dance enacted over and over in the post Floyd era. You never stood a chance. That being said, you knew that going in and I commend your honesty. These days, telling the truth is a revolutionary act and I like to think you took a shot of whiskey, said "to hell with it" and hit send anyway. Good for you. Now the key is to wear your punk rock anti authoritarian truth telling with pride and do not give an inch. The Mob will not yield, they cannot be appeased, they can only be defied and mocked. Read your Alinsky and stay strong.

How balanced.
