GLP are going after Sarah Phillimore and are going to lose - Part Two

That article has an interesting tactic - pretend that there is a field of study that considers the role of race genetics in intelligence (which there isn't, because it has no scientific basis), acknowledge that no such connection has been found, and then claim that the only reason that no such connection has been found is because the right research hasn't been done yet/isn't yet possible, and so propose that in the future a connection between race/genetics and intelligence may be found. And obviously he is the brave scholar searching for the Truth, which is likely to be that race differences have a substantial genetic component, particularly as regards brain structures.

To quote:

"But if work on the genetics and neuroscience of intelligence becomes sufficiently advanced, it may soon become possible to give a convincing causal account of how specific SNPs affect brain structures that underlie intelligence (Haier, Citation2017). If we can give a biological account of how genes with different distributions lead to race differences, this would essentially constitute proof of hereditarianism. As of now, there is nothing that would indicate that it is particularly unlikely that race differences will turn out to have a substantial genetic component. If this possibility cannot be ruled out scientifically, we must face the ethical question of whether we ought to pursue the truth, whatever it may be."

And:
"There is a danger for the philosophical community in putting our credibility on the line over the claim that race differences are entirely environmental. If work on genetics and neuroscience within the next decade produces convincing evidence that differences in measured intelligence among groups have a significant genetic component, there will be no way to conceal this information. The hereditarian explanation will have to be accepted, and people will know that philosophers were on the wrong side of the issue both scientifically and morally"

He's basically saying that just because no one today can present any evidence to show that "race differences" in "intelligence" are genetic, as opposed to social/"environmental", that doesn't mean that it won't be possible to demonstrate this scientifically in the future and everyone will have to accept it because it will be proven to be the Truth. All of this is predicated on the notion that white people are more intelligent that black people, which is bs.

Wow - that's almost exactly the same argument I have seen TRAs make on here that "science" will "in future" probably find a biological cause for transgender identity. (I think it's bullshit when they make it as well).

So it looks as if JoMo is going all in to totally beclown himself.

I can only think that he's trying to get her to back down by making the whole process too expensive for Sarah to continue?

Depends if people actually listen to the criticisms this time which have been going on for years. People have posted spreadsheets of the scam again and again.

As long as GLP can claim they will save all the trans, black people and take us back into the EU and make huge profits while actually not doing anything the grift will continue.

Just to take the trans example it is worth repeating again GLP have never won a case in that area. In fact their failed cases are quoted in judgements reinforcing reality. Without GLP the pro-reality cause would be a few years behind where we are now it would be safe to say.

Though JM needs taking down. Lets hope Sarah will finish him off.

Not so much white saviour as shite saviour, really.

I think he wants to make it so expensive that JKR funds it. He really wants to be able to say that he's being sued by JKR

Reckon that's a good shout. He's clearly doubling down.

Well he certainly making his case weaker if it does get there and Mr Sparkles recent activity is also doing the same. Sarah's recent posts published here and on her page show he is trying to run uop costs and play for time.

Sarah is wise to his actions though. Don't forget her garden still needs seeds though. According to Sarah there is a lot of money resting on this.

Sarah Phillimore

If they lose the libel action - approx £300k. The judicial review which they will lose approx £100k.

They will lose

But the money is offshore so the courts can't force payment either. They just pled insolvency on paper.

There's nothing here for him to lose because he knows the legal loopholes and how to fight a SLAAP case.

Until it's recognised in law that this is a SLAAP area, Maugham will do this repeatedly.

Can he plead insolvency and still keep grifting for more money for other campaigns?

She's suing him personally, not the GLP. Is he pleading personal insolvency and / or has moved his personal money offshore?

If not, the shady financial dealings of the GLP shouldn't come into his ability to satisfy any judgment.

Thanks for that. So the reference above to him moving GLP offshore should have no bearing on him having to cover Sarah’s costs if (when) he loses?

Wow - that's almost exactly the same argument I have seen TRAs make on here that "science" will "in future" probably find a biological cause for transgender identity. (I think it's bullshit when they make it as well).

Too late to correct hopefully-obvious typo: near the end, "we know inheritance is largely genetically heritable" should read "we know intelligence is largely genetically heritable"!
