I have occasionally posted compilations of blogs on IQ or HBD in general. However, it’s been a while since the 2019 compilation. More have come, some are gone. Here’s an updated list of blogs and magazines I read. These are in no particular order of importance, rather in the order I was able to find them in Feedly and Substack:
- Reason without restraint, great compilation of HBD materials. A typical post is a 20k word compilation of results on, say, predictive validity.
- Steve Sailer. He needs little introduction.
- Razib Khan. The best summarizer of population genetics and history.
- The Upheaval. Not even sure how to describe this.
- Bet on it, by Bryan Caplan. Libertarian perspectives on everything. Very prolific.
- Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science, Andrew Gelman comments on various social science. Sometimes good but not as good as it used to be.
- Wrong Side of History, Ed West enlightens us on history and British matters.
- Astral Codex Ten / Slate Star Codex, Scott Alexander is a masterful writer on just about any topic.
- The Shape of Code by Derek Jones, hard data on software engineering.
- Data Colada, a team of scientists uncover fraud and problems in research, sometimes do direct replications. Very good stuff.
- Richard Hanania, mostly writes on wokeness issues, but usually good.
- CSPI, Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, Hanania’s think tank, of sorts.
- Karlstack, another blog uncovered fraud and misconduct in science. Broke several important stories.
- Just the social facts, ma’am, David Weakliem investigates various public opinion research, a lot of original content.
- Russell Warne, IQ blogging and gifted education from a top researcher.
- Nintil by José Luis Ricón Fernández de la Puente, various very detailed investigations into meta-science, longevity and so on from LW perspective, also link compilations.
- Cliodynamica, Peter Turchin tries to make history more scientific.
- Aporia Magazine, Matt Archer, Bo Winegard, Noah Carl and others started a new magazine.
- Information Processing by Steve Hsu, mainly about genomics, IQ, and physics.
- Human Varieties, one of the longest running, most detailed HBD blogs, by John Fuerst, Meng Hu, Dalliard and others.
- Seb Jensen, “mad social scientist”, HBD blog
- Peter Frost’s anthropology blog, one of the very few HBD anthropology blogs.
- Sean Last’s Ideas and Data blog. Very good HBD blog.
- Inductivist, a lot of original GSS analyses.
- L.J Zigerell, professor of political science with sometimes spicy findings.
- Psychological Comments, James Thompson commentary, mainly on intelligence.
- Those who can see, excellent compilations of immigration problems in Europe.
- Vectors of Mind, by Andrew Cutler, “Machine Learning Psychometrics” also snakes and psychedelics
- Knowingless, by Aella, survey research by sex worker
- Axis of Ordinary by Alexander Kruel, compiles a lot of interesting links almost every day
- David Friedman’s Substack, libertarian perspectives on policy and science
- Joseph Bronski, contrarian perspectives on political science and HBD
- Wyclif’s Dust, by David Hugh-Jones, mostly genomics
If I forgot you or someone else, post it in the comments!
Some embarrassing oversights:
- Cremieux Recueil, top tier HBD blog
- Werkat, another good HBD blog
- Eurogenes Blog, population genomics
- Inquisitive Bird, another good Danish HBD blog
