Seems to be connected to white supremacist Richard Hanania. 216.238.88.111 (talk) 00:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Does Mr Anomaly really need an article?[edit]
Does he really need a big fat RationalWiki article? He does not seem noticeable. Dracko (talk) 18:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Possible impersonator filing legal complaints[edit]
As was mentioned here, I believe someone has been impersonating Jonathan Anomaly to file legal complaints in his name to Google to try to deindex this article. Could anyone who has contact with Anomaly question him about this?
Slander: 1. " REDACTED is a signatory to a petition organised by Quillette supporting the disgraced academic Noah Carl who was sacked from University of Cambridge for his links to white nationalists like Emil Kirkegaard and publishing Islamophobic papers in the OpenPsych pseudojournals" I've signed many letters defending free speech. As everyone knows, defending free speech does not entail defending "white nationalism" and "Islamophobia." This is obviously a tactic. It's not only false to describe the person being defended in that way, it's obviously false to describe people or organisations who defend free speech and due process as agreeing with everyone who speaks or who is protected by due process.
2. Anyone I cite is described as a "pseudoscientist" (obvious tactic to say not only that the author disagrees with my views, but that they're insane and somehow fringe, even thought they're published in peer-reviewed journals, unlike the views of the person who authored the Rat Wiki page!).
3. " REDACTED tries to present himself as a political centrist and libertarian between both alt-right and hard left-wing extremes,[5] when his own views concerning issues such as race and eugenics have much in common with the alt-right." No evidence is provided here because none exists. I'm a classical liberal, and have defended the liberal view in about 20 research papers and 2 books. This is clearly an attempt to associate me with views that are not my own in order to destroy my reputation. Many biologists believe race and sex are real biological categories without being "alt right" or "nazis" or "white nationalitsts."
4. The author says I advocate sterilizing undesirable people. Obviously false. I advocate liberal eugenics, as do many bioethicists -- this is the view that, within certain parameters, parents should be given the choice to select among several embryos if they're doing IVF, or potentially edit the embryos they'd like to implant. I was asked by a journal to participate in a "eugenics: for and against debate" -- but none of us advocated eugenics in the sense of murder or coercive sterilization. Rather, I was asked to argue as strongly as possible for the moral foundations of liberal eugenics, which I did.
Inaccuracies (not defamatory, but also just not true): 1. "REDACTED has a PhD in psychology from Tulane University." My PhD is in philosophy. 2. " Since 2018, he is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at the University of San Diego" I've been a professor at the University of Pennsylvania the last few years, not Univ of SD. ...
This above complaint was filed from the UK but Anomaly does not live in the UK so it is a probable impersonator. The complaint is also frivolous and quotes no law and confuses slander with libel.139.180.178.235 (talk) 14:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Per the recent HnH source, Anomaly is often in the UK. He also recently appeared with the Lotus Eaters (in their studio) who are based in England. I do not think the above misleading defamation complaint was an impersonation but Anomaly himself. And Lol at this lying clown describing himself as a "classical liberal".Anti-eugenicist (talk) 17:06, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Dishonest editing by a likely Jonathan Anomaly meatpuppet[edit]
@Pangloss removed the fact Anomaly published an article in The Unz Review:
Anomaly never published in the Unz Review. Unz reposted an article that Anomaly published in Quillette.
The above is misleading since the article clarified at the bottom:
Republished from Quillette.com by permission of author or representative)
In other words, Anomaly gave The Unz Review permission to republish his article and also previously had his own author page. I therefore reverted Pangloss's edit.
I decided to look at the edit history of Pangloss and can see they are a single purpose account fixated only with Anomaly and trying to delete and remove well-sourced content to his article. They also made edits with a pro-eugenics POV. This is very likely a Jonathan Anomaly meatpuppet who is making dishonest edits. I do not believe they are a constructive editor and blocked them given their edit history. If anyone is wondering why this user is coming here now it is because Anomaly was recently exposed in a Hope not Hate undercover investigation you can read here. Recently, Anomaly removed his name from an article he published in the far-right Aporia Magazine so it seems he's trying desperately to whitewash his involvement with extremist publications.

- This website evidently has a strong bias and is smearing anyone who supports embryo selection. I do not see my edits as vandalism. I will keep coming back until article is more balanced. Pango (talk) 17:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Problematic edit[edit]
He is of South-African origins and then fled in the middle of the economic crisis his people effected, which also explains his pro-Apartheid beliefs, often bordering on Nazism.
I can't find any evidence Mr. Anomaly holds pro-Apartheid beliefs. The account that added this is also suspicious. It could be Anomaly himself or a meatpuppet adding dubious claims to discredit the article. Anomaly has been trying to deindex his article from Google - an easy way to do that is to add untrue or unsubstantiated claims like above. Anti-eugenicist (talk) 21:33, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- All claims need to be sourced. Anti-eugenicist (talk) 21:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
