How does someone in their twenties, with no discernable job history and who is so clever he signs up to be a contractor rather than an employee at HMG come out with "habitual welfare claimants tend to be less conscientious and agreeable than the average person".
So it looks like his resignation was precipitated by some really weird Christian slut wife stuff he posted. Story is in the National. It reads a bit incel-y to me.
REVEALED: PM's new aide made vile claims about women and sex on Reddit
THE Prime Minister’s newest adviser once claimed it was a woman’s Christian “duty” to have sex with her husband, The National can reveal.www.thenational.scot
interesting thing about all of this is that is Cummings hasn’t been so performative about this whole recruitment drive and the ‘weirdos’ he could have had all the eugenicists he wanted. His arrogance/weird attention seeking seems to have backfired. Or have they snuck in others that haven’t had the scrutiny?
Someone on twitter pointed out he was quoted in context and that was the problem....!!Mmmm verging on recommending rape.
Bloody lefties taking comments out of context again
Didn't they invent and build motorways too?
They are all incel-ish aren't they, all the edgy right types, all frightened of vaginas, the inadequate skull measuring freaks
Time phrenology made a comeback, I got a great little 1940s book 2nd hand that I couldn't resist because it talked about the "science" of phrenology.
Did you see his non-apology before he took it down? He hopes they find other people as bright as him or some suchoddly his twitter account has suddenly disappears after the reddit stuff came out

Sadly I think its a matter of time until we get some 'smart' edgy think piece on why phrenology has utility. It's probably already happened actually
“The media hysteria about my old stuff online is mad but I wanted to help [the government] not be a distraction. Accordingly I’ve decided to resign as a contractor. I hope No 10 hires more [people with] good geopolitical forecasting track records and that media learn to stop selective quoting.”tell, tell
I wasn't aware of that.the odd part of this is Cummings has shared part of this loons logic on his own blog
it why he was hired
IQ – Dominic Cummings's Blog
Tbh the way all manner of disabilities are seen as defects eg blindness, deafness, etc things to be genetically designed out where possible, shows that eugenics frankly in the mainstream. It's just that most people who believe in eugenics and propose such things savvy enough not to use the word. Was talking to someone who works at ucl recently, and they've a report into the college's links to eugenics (galton etc) coming out at the end of the month and it seems the rooms and buildings named after classical eugenicists only so named well after WW2.
As an aside, that national piece says the posts are seven years old. Imagine going onto reddit (lol) to get sex tips from a nineteen year old tory
