Granted, Scientific American is a lot more broke and woke today than 20 years ago. But still … the dumbing down of American discourse has really accelerated during the Great Awokening, and especially during the Racial Reckoning.

In sizable part, this is because of the triumph of the Theory of Intersectionality, which states that if black women have had the fewest interesting things to say about, say, evolutionary theory (or other difficult, non-hair-related topics) in the past, that proves they have the most interesting things to say about evolutionary theory in the present.

But … it sure looks like: no, they don’t.
