Talk:Bryan Pesta

Hereditarianism pseudoscience?
Pseudoscience starts from conclusions. Is it really pseudoscience to imagine that races don't have exactly equal intelligence? To my mind that hypothesis has effectively zero chance of being true, and is the real pseudoscience here. Professor Ape (talk) 04:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Your first sentence is not universally true. Consider protoscience: some start from hypotheses, not conclusions, and only become pseudosciences after they are conclusively shownr to be false. Bongolian (talk) 04:56, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think this nitpicking misses the point, but thanks. And I guess we agree pseudoscience starts from conclusions, which is what I said. Professor Ape (talk) 04:59, 4 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I suspect these accounts are the infamous troll Michael Coombs. John66 (talk) 08:29, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

About this page
And the ratwiki, like most rat wikis, is just a collection of slurs and information used for doxxing and to coordinate cancel attacks. Shouldn't something called 'rationalist' focus less on unsupported slandal and personal information? Slandal salesman (talk) 17:55, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Is "slandal" like a brand of flip-flops that squeak so much people will yell defamatory terms at you? 17:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Jon Cutchins is an impersonation troll account created by Mikemikev. The real Cutchins has spoken out against the impersonations. 167.172.49.185 (talk) 19:18, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * So he's not trying to sell me slandals!!?!? :( 19:26, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That's slandalous! Bongolian (talk) 19:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Trolling seems to be coming from a recent substack article by Emil Kirkegaard. Perhaps even more bizarre than the impersonations in the substack comments section and now here are false claims myself, Bongolian,, the creator of Bryan Pesta's article and 4 or 5 other accounts are all "Oliver Smith" (???). Ernor (talk)
 * Oliver himself sent me a Twitter DM about that Substack article. I am not Oliver Smith (or Bongolian, Ernor, Johns, or anyone else), though I doubt many people reading this needed to be persuaded of that, and the few who do will not believe me anyway. Jinx (talk) 00:45, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
