Exposing the Sinister Network Peddling Dangerous Ideologies
An international network of "race science" activists has been secretly funded by a multimillionaire US tech entrepreneur, using podcasts, videos, and research papers to spread discredited ideas on race and eugenics. Undercover investigations have revealed the existence of this organization, the Human Diversity Foundation (HDF), and its efforts to influence public debate with these harmful ideologies.Uncovering the Disturbing Agenda Behind the Facade of Academic Research
Funding the Spread of Dangerous Ideologies
The investigation has uncovered that the HDF received more than $1 million in funding from Andrew Conru, a Seattle businessman who made his fortune from dating websites. Conru initially claimed the group's mission was "non-partisan academic research," but later withdrew his support after realizing the organization had deviated from its original purpose.Rehabilitating Scientific Racism
The HDF is part of a broader movement seeking to legitimize so-called "race science" as a topic of open debate. This ideology, labeled as scientific racism by mainstream academics, aims to prove biological differences between races, such as higher average IQ or a tendency to commit crime. The group's supporters claim that inequality between racial groups is primarily explained by genetics rather than external factors like discrimination.Spreading Dangerous Rhetoric and Extremist Ideologies
Undercover footage has revealed the HDF's organizer discussing "remigration" – a euphemism for the mass removal of ethnic minorities. This term has become a buzzword on the far-right, with former US President Donald Trump using it to describe his own policies. The group has also been linked to the German far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), with one of its members, Erik Ahrens, being designated as a "rightwing extremist" by German authorities.Infiltrating Mainstream Institutions and Media
The HDF has sought to influence wider society through its media arm, Aporia, a popular science publication on the Substack platform. The blog has published content that appears to have become more politically charged over time, with headlines such as "What is white identity?" and "America must have race realism." The group has also claimed to have commissioned mainstream writers to gain "legitimacy via association."Recruiting an Elite "Gentlemen's Club"
Undercover footage has revealed plans by the HDF's organizers to establish a "gentlemen's club," where members would pay for networking and training courses. One of the organizers, Erik Ahrens, suggested that this group could be modeled on the Nazi party's paramilitary wing, the SS, with a focus on "certain outward characteristics" rather than IQ tests.Exploiting Funding Opportunities and Partnerships
The HDF's owner, Emil Kirkegaard, has been a prolific author, publishing more than 40 papers in the race science journal Mankind Quarterly. The group's "underground research wing" has been involved in studies on topics such as "international dysgenics," the impact of dating apps on human breeding, and the political leanings of Wikipedia editors.Spreading Harmful Rhetoric in the Mainstream
The ideas promoted by the HDF and its affiliates are gaining traction in mainstream discourse. Former US President Donald Trump has made comments about "bad genes" in the country, while figures like Steve Sailer, credited with rebranding scientific racism as "human biodiversity," have been given platforms by prominent media outlets.Confronting the Dangers of Scientific Racism
Mainstream academics and experts have condemned the HDF's activities as a "dangerous ideology" with real-world consequences. They warn that scientific racism has been used to argue against policies aimed at reducing inequalities between racial groups and to justify more restrictive immigration policies.The investigation into the HDF and its network of supporters highlights the urgent need to confront the resurgence of scientific racism and its attempts to infiltrate mainstream institutions and discourse. By exposing these sinister efforts, we can work to counter the spread of these harmful ideologies and protect the principles of equality, justice, and scientific integrity.
