A University of Cambridge academic claims that adopting a meritocracy at Harvard University would result in a significant decline in the number of black professors. Nathan Cofnas, a fellow at the faculty of philosophy, argues for a hereditarian revolution and encourages the acceptance of race realism, recognizing disparities between ethnicities. Despite his support for these theories, Cofnas suggests that many of his followers lack intelligence compared to those who are more woke.
Cofnas, who joined the university in 2022, believes that without enforced diversity in recruitment, black individuals would be virtually absent from prestigious positions outside of sports and entertainment. He advocates for society to abandon the war on nature and acknowledge that talent is not evenly distributed across or within ethnic groups.
While Cofnas’ viewpoints have sparked controversy and debate, it is important to consider the ethical implications and potential consequences of embracing such ideologies. Striking a balance between recognizing individual merit and promoting diversity remains a complex issue within academia and society at large.
