There’s no attempt to dispute the overlap between NRX and Ratdom, just an un-argued assumption that nobody should care enough to put it in their Wikipedia article.
(ahem) The correct term is a prior.

The rightwing activist Christopher Rufo has links to a self-styled “sociobiology magazine” that is focused on the supposed relationships between race, intelligence and criminality, and which experts have characterized as an outlet for scientific racism.
At the time of reporting, Aporia was one of 19 Substack newsletters Rufo links to in the “recommended” section on his own newsletter, which according to Substack has more than 50,000 subscribers. Rufo also appeared on Aporia’s podcast, which has published flattering interviews with proponents of scientific racism and eugenics. [...] The Guardian emailed Rufo with questions on his apparent endorsement of Aporia, and how he reconciled that with his professed “colorblindness”. He did not respond directly to any questions put to him but instead made a crude sexual insult to a Guardian reporter.

Between the end of 2002 and beginning of 2003, Dawn distanced herself from Singer. (Complaint, ¶ 44.) In May 2003, Singer asked Dawn to work with him on a piece he had been asked to write for the Los Angeles Times, for which she would receive co-writing credit. (Id. at ¶ 45.) From 2002 through 2020, all of Singer's female co-authors were women with whom Singer had been sexually involved, or to whom he had made clear his sexual interest. (Id. at ¶¶ 46, 47.) Despite a pattern of professional reward for sexual affection, Singer wrote to Dawn that he believed he could only be accused of anything if an angry ex "made something up" or "had a false memory." (Id. at ¶ 49.) Dawn came to understand that she too would be rewarded for maintaining an affectionate relationship with Singer, with offers of prestigious work, and would lose those offers without such expressions of warmth. (Id. at ¶ 50.)
Dawn and Singer became sexually involved again when working on the Los Angeles Times op-ed together, with Dawn agreeing to be part of Singer's "harem" as long as "she was his favorite, the lead in his orchestra, as he called it." (Complaint, ¶ 52.) Dawn wondered if she should be trying to have a child with her partner and was reminded by Singer that if she did, it would negatively affect her figure and would interfere with their affair. (Id. at ¶ 53.) In 2003, Singer told Dawn that while he still wished to be sexually involved with her, she had been replaced as the main recipient of his affections by a woman he had met at a conference in Europe and who was 10 years younger than Dawn and who was married. (Id. at ¶¶ 54-56.) Singer acknowledged the "high risk" that the affair would destroy the woman's marriage. (Id. at ¶ 57.) Dawn wrote numerous emails to Singer making it clear that she was emotionally shattered by the turn of events. (Id. at ¶ 59.)
Feeling old compared to her younger replacement, Dawn had a facelift in 2004, at the age of 41. (Complaint, ¶ 70.) Her face became infected, and she was ill for weeks. (Id. at ¶ 71.) Dawn shared news of the long-term affair with her partner, now a partner of four years. (Id. at ¶ 74.) The relationship was strained beyond repair and plans for marriage between Dawn and her partner were put on hold. (Id. at ¶¶ 75, 76.) Before learning about the affair between

The apparent world-historical inversion, whereby the smart kids were also the rich and most powerful ones, was celebrated on iconic blogs and mailing lists such as Slate Star Codex and LessWrong (where users self-reported implausibly high IQ scores)

The IQ fetishists like to think they are living in a near future where they — the pure creative information workers imagined in the 1990s — have been elevated through their high intelligence and innate ability. They were not simply in the right place at the right time, bobbing along in a sea of liquidity in an era of zero interest rates. They were, like the staff at the Apple Store, geniuses.

I would also tell them that it’s possible to actually understand things.
