Honestly I think you need to be dumb as hell to deal with people like Vaush and his peers. There's a reason why the whole "Academics Please Respond" thing was so fucking funny, and there's a reason why people like Thunderfoot, you know, card carrying hard science types stay so far away from this cultural hodgepodge of bullshit.
There is a good reason STEM types stay away from this shit. Put an actual scientist, genuine biologist, biomedical specialist, or medicinal chemist in an argument on race realism and you'll have someone whose going to spend the first 30 minutes just trying to figure out what the fuck these normies are talking about and maybe, just maybe it'll click for them what's going on and they'll rant about how race doesn't have biological roots because it was quantified before the advent of modern genetics and how its never been given up to date roots because that's been solved, and then he'd plug his current paper on fish and leave.
The truth; Science is very different from how you were explained it as a kid. Every time I hear these online sperg fights yelling for DOI numbers for open access social science papers I cringe on the inside. Peer reviewed only means "maybe", even in the hard sciences. Everything has to be verified. All Vaush types are is a debate bro in a lab coat they bought at the dollar store. None of them have ever set foot in a lab.
The greatest lie the devil ever told was that anything South of Statistics should be considered a hard science. The thing with the apple runs a close second.
