Pinker's Podcast Appearance Fuels Racism Debate

The appearance of Harvard professor Steven Pinker on the controversial podcast, Aporia, sparked a significant debate about scientific racism.

Aporia, known for its ties to far-right groups promoting harmful racial ideologies, gained credibility through Pinker's involvement.

Critics condemned his participation, arguing that it legitimizes dangerous pseudoscience and risks normalizing hate speech.

Pinker's silence on the matter has further fueled the criticism, leaving many questioning his judgment and principles.
