But the thesis that Stephens has disavowed is one that Pinker himself very clearly embraces — complete with the same citation of “Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence.” That’s why Pinker is interested in this controversy. https://t.co/c1ZcrQnjK3 — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what I think is odd about today’s Pinker piece on Brett Stephens and the Jews. As Pinker notes, people got mad because they thought Stephens was advancing a genetic argument for Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence but Stephens — as Pinker notes — denies this. https://t.co/laSnu3Qjos — PolitiTweet.org

So if the problem here is we need to be talking about Jewish genes, the problem is that *Stephens himself* — not Stephens’ critics — wouldn’t advocate for Pinker’s position. — PolitiTweet.org
