I listened to Sam for a little while, but then he got stuck on Genetics & IQ back in about 2017-18.

I was like - OK, but do you account for any other differences, like poverty and affluence rates? Nope, he could only fathom the two factors: "race in, IQ out - so people of African heritage are dumb", because his expert said that, he thought it too.

I forgot about the IQ thing! His opinions on deterministic behavior are also a little out there and kind of look at the decision process backwards.
