- I think it's very interesting that you are so dedicated to preventing Mr. Bostrom's own racist statement from being published on his page, when it is precisely his vulgarity and the views expressed within that are notable. This constitutes pointless and biased whitewashing of a privileged white male's clearly bigoted views, which he himself has apologized for, which are part of the public record, and which are obviously noteworthy and deserve to be included in full in any unbiased and comprehensive encyclopedia. 2A02:A03F:8095:4100:FD6E:9F5D:10DB:CFB6 (talk) 20:39, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- You are very clearly the biased one here. You have no evidence that Nick Bostrom has racist views. The empirical literature is clear that an average IQ gap exists between whites and blacks, and Bostrom clarified in the email that that is the sense in which he meant in his statement. The racial slur was hypothetical speech, the use-mention speech, which was not nearly as taboo as it is today (e.g high schoolers were instructed to read aloud the word in books) 2600:740A:3:144:8C26:846F:C49E:B3AD (talk) 07:42, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
