Steven Pinker's recent podcast appearance on Aporia has drawn significant criticism as it is perceived as an endorsement of controversial views on race science. Critics argue that Pinker, a noted psychologist and author, legitimizes dangerous ideas surrounding racial hierarchies by associating with discussions that advocate for human biodiversity, a term linked to claims of inherent differences in intelligence based on race. Such actions have sparked concern among anti-racism advocates, suggesting that it encourages the spread of scientifically discredited theories and could further normalize extremist ideas.
Pinker contributes to the normalisation and spread of dangerous, discredited ideas by lending his Harvard credentials to Aporia.
His appearance underlines past incidents in which Pinker has encountered criticism for his association with advocates of so-called human biodiversity.
