To encourage your opponents to agree to engage, you might frame the resolution in terms favorable to them, along the lines of: "Resolved: The scientific examination of racial groups is pseudoscientific and should not be considered a legitimate area of study."
If the resolution endorsed "race science," they would likely decline, lamely claiming they don’t want to dignify the idea. But if the resolution opposed race science, it would be harder for them to justify avoiding the challenge of defending their beliefs.
WE are living in incredible times. There is *no* negative connotation in simply refusing to discuss *anything* for any reason.
In former times--perhaps only 15 years ago or less--such a denial would be viewed as weakly dodging an exchange, strongly implying that the position was unsupportable.
But nothing needs to be supported at this point. It's enough to simply *believe* a position, because everyone's reality is equally valid as anyone else's. No questions asked, none permitted.
if you guys want to make this sustainable might want to focus on the personalities of bo and noah, and cull some of the other peoples' content, and then try and make it supportable for just 2 people
That's probably the most sustainable and logical route, but then Aporia would effectively become a 2-man newsletter. The whole point of Aporia, at least according to Matt's vision, was to create a high end right wing magazine with sociobiology being a key pillar. There are many HBD blogs that are now better outlets for IQ researchers to disseminate their findings, but Aporia's USP was being a sophisticated product. That being said, its not like Bo and Noah have tons of options.
Wish you the best in pulling through this and emerging stronger. Ultimately, there are benefits to not relying on a single large (but fickle) benefactor.
PS. I found that the "undercover journalist" was recently positively profiled in a leftist Manchester-based local journal: https://manchestermill.co.uk/p/scary-dangerous-and-bad-for-your Delusional as it is, the guy clearly fancied himself some kind of high-flying spy saving the world from the next Nazism. Confirms the adage that everyone is the hero of their own story.
Going after a small publication that stands for independent inquiry and science without politicization does not make you a brave crusader against fascism. It makes you a petty tyrant. The truth was never easy to digest. These are hostile people who are freaking out over it being printed at all, causing destruction in their naive and misguided crusade.
I have a subscription and come tax time next year will donate a 'tithing' based on my adjusted gross income, not far from your own pay (40K). Not a religious man, supporting your bravery and search for truth is the least I can do.
As a suggestion, maybe you could consider publishing some of your past essays into Amazon books? You don't have to pay anything to publish on Amazon. You just upload a PDF file, and they print-on-demand.
I don't know if it would help, but some people buy paperback books. Three of Blithering Genius's books (https://thewaywardaxolotl.blogspot.com/p/links.html) are mostly collections of past essays that he's written. They have a mix of essays that can be viewed for free on the blog, and essays that are exclusive to the books.
Maybe try to reach out to Markus Persson (Notch), creator of Minecraft? He got into a lot of twitter beefs with the far left so he doesn't care about negative press and is personally very rich.
bad luck about losing the sponsor & gd luck going forward. also re iq & putting people down cos they in the bottom form sucks. at every level there are opportunities to earn money as well as to be independent. here in southafrica leftie intellectuals are dangerously bringing down academic standards instead of raising them. so they snobishly despise encouraging people to be artisanal blue collar workers independent & gloriously free & push an agenda where we all go to university or work for big companues = black economic empowerment! yuck. lefties tool around trying to convince us it’s better to be servile instead of independent sparks builders bookeepers & work as hard or as little as we feel like doing. bee - it kills ambition & encourages servility & entitlement & is basically jolly unfair
It seems long past time that false accusers be punished if they can bring proof of what they claim, above some level of discernment unlike Wikipedia which uses gossip publications when refuse WikiLeaks sources.
'Racists' 'antisemite' etc. would quickly stop when they taken to public park or public area and are secured and Tasered till soiling-selves and screaming, and repeats get machine set longer times.
And if a person is at a position like those journalists, then manager and owner get the same.
If we routinely punish the mother and other significant family or mentors along with the offender then over a generation or two women would return to marrying and family with the best man she can manage, or none if her sensible lower limit was not reached.
Suggestion: Invite the creators of the hit pieces to a debate and put it on YouTube.
Something tells me the creators of the hit pieces aren't interested in honest debate.

Perhaps, but I am not enthusiastic about being favorable toward those who are disingenuous, dishonest, and hypocritical.

They'd still avoid it.

I understand the point of your suggestion; I did say 'perhaps'.

I don't think that's a good idea. It severely limits the variety of content. Wasn't one of the purposes of Aporia to provide broad content?

No your goal was to infiltrate the dissident right with pro Jew bullshit.
"The whole point of Aporia, at least according to Matt's vision, was to create a high end right wing magazine with sociobiology being a key pillar."
Exactly. It will surely fail if left to a two-man newsletter.
I do rate your content so I plan to continue my subscription when this one expires.
As do I.

Even three-Bs-at-A-Level-Rutherford understands the doxxing hypocrisy.

Some do not value the search for knowledge or scientific research. They fear the truth.

Beware bad advice. Ask Elon Musk to fund you. Good luck!
Happy to be a paid subscriber-unsubscribed readers I am looking at you
