Why Nathan Cofnas Is Wrong About Race Science and IQ

September 10, 2026 · 45 min

Show notes

Nathan Cofnas made his name exposing Jason Arday's plagiarism, but he’s also controversial in his own right. Cofnas believes that racial disparities in education and income can be explained by IQ and genetics. He also argues that avoiding these taboo conversations fuels the woke obsession with racism. Rather than embracing the culture-first perspective of figures like Thomas Sowell, he’s in full agreement with the left about the relevance of race. Cofnas just disagrees about what should be done, and a growing part of the far right is on his side.
