That's bizarre. I'd like to think Seiyo made a mistake ('cause I generally like to think the best of people), but it's an interesting "mistake" to make, isn't it?<br /><br />Either it was a genuine mistake or a "Fruedian slip" on Seiyo's part, or he changed the passage on purpose, which is a pretty low thing to do. :-/EileenOCnnrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031209198749741853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-65183165777388723642010-03-07T14:46:37.396+00:002010-03-07T14:46:37.396+00:00>How does Seiyo knows

But last year he <a href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/06/critique-of-culture-of-kevin-macdonald.html" rel="nofollow">wrote</a> at GoV that he had “not read his books”.<br /><br />There are four important MacDonald books out there, three of them academic. How does Seiyo knows that <em>“not of a single published page in English, and that includes the output of Kevin MacDonald”</em> is reliable <em>“in discussing the Jewish negatives”</em>? Either since the last year Seiyo read every published page by MacDonald, thereby becoming a MacDonald expert, or he is a wizard who knows the content without reading it!<br /><br />Incidentally, when I still admired Seiyo I didn’t know what to say about something that MacDonald himself wrote in his rebuttal of the Seiyo GoV article. <a href="http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/articles/MacDonald-Seiyo.html" rel="nofollow">MacDonald noted</a> that Seiyo had surreptitiously added a word in his <a href="http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/06/critique-of-culture-of-kevin-macdonald.html" rel="nofollow">GoV article</a> when quoting him (“here Seiyo added the word ‘threat’ to what I wrote, presumably to darken up the passage a bit”).Checharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958061355210472570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-41458139166454215412010-03-07T13:57:00.763+00:002010-03-07T13:57:00.763+00:00"[Frank] Salter also notes that those, such a...<i>"[Frank] Salter also notes that those, such as John Tooby and Steven Pinker, who have denigrated my competence as a researcher in the media, have failed to provide anything approaching a scholarly critique or refutation of my work."</i><br /><br />Don't know about Tooby, but Pinker should definitely be ashamed of his position against MacDonald's work. I remember him saying that he wouldn't even read any of MacDonald's writings because it wasn't scientific. How does he know it's not scientific if he doesn't read it, eh?<br /><br />I otherwise admire Pinker, but am embarassed on his behalf in this case. I guess he is a "scientist" until the research hits too close to home. :-/EileenOCnnrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031209198749741853noreply@blogger.com
