"Aporia" is a curious title for a magazine, since it causes one to wonder, as the word aporia implies, what is the magazine's contradiction in premises did the founders have in mind? Was it the implicit scholarship ("social science, philosophy") but the promotion of pseudoscience, or was it the claims of the editor(s) of centrism, but the promotion of widening the "Overton Window"?About Aporia Aporia Magazine (archived from January 31, 2024).
The Aporia Podcast is an open platform for far-right influencers and white nationalists such as Edward Dutton, Emil Kirkegaard, Bo Winegard and Steve Sailer to promote their extremist views. For example, Sailer spoke for over an hour on the podcast about hereditarianism, white identity politics and "the rise of anti-white attitudes". Winegard has called "diversity" a scam and has commented that the Great Replacement theory is "largely an accurate description of reality".The Diversity Scam. Aporia Magazine. An article in The Guardian in January 2024 noted Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute has connections to Aporia Magazine. 
The white nationalist Anatoly Karlin has stated he is writing for Aporia.https://www.nooceleration.com/p/open-thread-1 Karlin is on record as describing black people as "pathologically criminalized" and advocates for a white ethno-state. His involvement with Aporia pretty much sums up the virulent racists it is attracting. Aporia has given a platform to Holocaust deniers namely Lipton Matthews. In May 2024, its owner Emil Kirkegaard began writing for Aporia Magazinehttps://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/how-taboos-affect-science and Winegard published an interview with Jared Taylor while both espousing white nationalist viewpoints.https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/is-white-culture-a-thing-jared-taylor
In response to allegations of promoting hate and racism, Aporia responded in 2024, openly admitting they believe racial stereotypes are "reasonably accurate".Aporia gets a hit piece in the Guardian. Aporia Magazine.
==Overview==
Aporia Magazine was founded in 2021 as a podcast called Ideas Sleep Furiously by Matthew Archer, a British writer who has a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.Matthew Archer In March 2023, Aporia changed its name to Aporia Magazine.Welcome to Aporia Magazine. Aporia Magazine, 18 March 2023. Frost sold Aporia to Emil Kirkegaard who is its current owner who operates it as a branch of the Human Diversity Foundation.https://investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/race-science-inc/
Authors and speakers of Aporia are in line with the International Society for Intelligence Research and London Conference on Intelligence approach, seeking to promote and control demographic groups they deem to exhibit the characteristics associated with their deluded ideological perspective of "intelligence", which they also correlate to Western Civilization, and Christianity.How Christianity reversed the Roman demographic decline & restarted cognitive evolution. Aporia Magazine.
The website's ideology lends its self to bioessentialism, and seeks to cross-pollinate this viewpoint with social elitism and the idea of meritocracy. Accordingly Aporia and their staff are far-right or what they mistakenly call alt-center, and share staff with other alt-right websites such as UnHerd, and Quillette.For example, Noah Carl writes for Unherd and Bo Winegard writes for Quillette. Many of the authors and speakers at Aporia are associated with Emil Kirkegaard's OpenPsych pseudojournals. The Openpsych journal has been described as "a central node in a dense network of race scientists who work to provide legitimacy and propaganda for the far-right… Of the top 15 OpenPsych contributors, 11 have written for Mankind Quarterly in the past three years. Of these, nine were also speakers at the London Conference on Intelligence". Attendees and speakers of the London Conference on Intelligence have also written articles for Aporia or spoken on its podcast.For example, Noah Carl, Emil Kirkegaard, Richard Lynn, Helmuth Nyborg and Toby Young.
===Promotion of black penis size pseudoscience===
The editors of Aporia including Noah Carl and Matthew Archer have an unusual interest in black penis size and have promoted on social media the dubious and pseudoscientific claim that black men have the longest penis sizes and also suggest African countries use larger condoms.https://i.ibb.co/XybHypQ/Matthew-archer-block-cock-fetish.png In an article for Aporia in October 2023, George Francis argued that "the best estimate of the Black-White difference in penis size really do show Blacks to be better endowed."Does Africa need larger condoms?. Aporia Magazine. Francis's claims have no validity and have been debunked, for example, a 2005 peer-reviewed study reported that "there is no scientific background to support the alleged 'oversized' penis in black people". A 2015 systematic review of 15,521 men further found "no indications of differences in racial variability", and it is not possible to draw any conclusions about penis size and race from the available literature. Francis dismisses the latter and relies on a recent meta-analysis of 75 studies (Belladelli et al. 2023). However, given that the samples were so varied across these continents, the confidence intervals are very large for each region. Regardless, the results do not exactly lend support to Francis "big black dick" fantasy. The study reported a mere 0.3 cm average difference in erect penis size between Africa (14.88 cm) and North America (14.58 cm) and in fact reported the largest average erect penis size in Oceania (15.71 cm).Belladelli et al. 2023.
Francis lies by omission and quotes out of context numerous sources to support his pseudoscientific theories about race and penis size. The editors of Aporia evidently did not fact check his article before publication to correct these heavy distortions. Francis for example states: "Oxford biologist (1900-1984) wrote that the Nilotic people, who range from South Sudan to Tanzania, have penises that are 'very long and rather thick'."https://archive.is/WLVqY While true, what Baker went on to state in his book (which Francis omits) is that erect penis size is "about the same size in the two races [Negrids and Europids]."Baker, John. Race (Oxford University Press, 1974). p. 331. Francis misleadingly claims that "French scientist Paul Topinard (1830-1911) observed during his dissections that Black men had larger penises." However, according Baker (1974), "Topinard had claimed that though the penis of Europeans was smaller than that of Negrids when flaccid, it was larger than theirs when erect."Baker, John. Race (Oxford University Press, 1974). p. 331. Neither of these sources when read properly, support Francis's claims. Francis relies on the dubious research of a 19th century French army surgeon. According to psychology researcher Scott A. McGreal, Richard Lynn had relied on the same source: "... a book of semi-pornographic 'tall tales' by an anonymous 19th-century French surgeon that makes wildly inconsistent claims about genital sizes in people of different races."https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/unique-everybody-else/201210/the-pseudoscience-race-differences-in-penis-size
A 2007 peer-reviewed paper in Tropical Journal of Medical Research notes "there is no convincing scientific background to support the ascription of bigger penile dimensions to people of the Black race."'Oversized' Penile Length In The Black People; Myth Or Reality". (2007). JC, Orakwe., GU, Ebuh. Tropical Journal of Medical Research. Vol. 11(1): 16-18.
In June 2023, George Francis with Emil Kirkegaard published a paper in Mankind Quarterly based on a prostitute survey about penis size. They surveyed 129 American female sex workers to ask them about the penis and testicle sizes of men they had intercourse with.Racial Differences in Sexuality: A Sex Worker Survey. researchgate.net. Francis and Kirkegaard reported this study supports their belief and stereotype black men have longer penis sizes than other races. Aside from the limitations of a small sample size, the anecdotal evidence and the fact MQ's peer-review is questionable at best, both authors concede it is doubtful whether "sex workers’ judgements [about penis size] are accurate." Despite this, the editors of Aporia have promoted this unreliable study on social media, while Kirkegaard when asked about penis size has written he believes racial stereotypes are accurate.https://archive.is/R8iin
On February 20, 2024 Edward Dutton wrote an article on his website, "No, there's no data linking race and penis size".No, there's no data linking race and penis size It is obvious that he had read the RationalWiki expose of Aporia's penis size pseudoscience and is embarrassed about his colleagues views on the subject.

==Connections to ISIR==
In 2023, Matthew Archer and other Aporia staff attended the International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) conference in Berkeley, California.Ten researchers reveal the smartest person they've EVER met!. Aporia Magazine.Are we really getting smarter?. Aporia Magazine. Archer interviewed Edward Dutton, Razib Khan, Andrew Conway, Rex Jung, Gavan Tredoux and Sam Thyssen. Aporia's staff support the research of Bryan Pesta and Emily Willoughby.Is self-censorship rising in the US?. Aporia Magazine.The most interesting intelligence research in 2023.... Aporia Magazine.
==On RationalWiki==
The editors of Aporia on 9 June 2024The radical left website sabotaging research. aporiamagazine.com. Archived. published an article and video supporting their writer Emil Kirkegaard, a white supremacist who has written in support of legalizing child pornography.White Supremacist Who Wants Legal Child Porn Doing Business Through Wyoming LLC. cowboystatedaily.com. Archived. The article attacks RationalWiki as a "radical left website sabotaging research".
In the video, Kirkegaard criticized RationalWiki while walking on a beach in Spain. He complained that his article describes him as a "climate change denier" and activist for legalising incest despite the fact that these descriptions are factually sourced to his own writings. For example, Kirkegaard wrote in a blog post: "In my fight against the Danish sexual morality, the time has come for incest... I just don't think there's good reason why incest between two people should be banned." In another blog post on his website, he also wrote "incest does no harm nowadays and should therefore not be illegal. This I have written about before."Hvad der er etisk rigtigt og hensigtsmæssigt er ikke altid det samme. emilkirkegaard.dk. According, however, to Aporia, quoting someone's own words is somehow "lies".
In July 2024, a German newspaper noted that Kirkegaard holds disturbing views about child rape and pedophilia:
The staff from Aporia have not commented about his offensive child rape posts or views on incest.
==Departure of Matthew Archer==
On 22 August 2024, Matthew Archer (real name Matthew Frost) who founded Aporia and was its editor-in-chief suddenly published a statement on social media saying he was leaving and was no longer editor-in-chief passing on his editorial role to Bo Winegard.https://archive.is/083tv Archer does not provide a reason for why he quit only saying "I’ve taken Aporia as far as I can." The reason likely has to do with Aporia gaining very bad optics and media criticism — the magazine is basically a rag and echo-chamber for white nationalists and eugenicists.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/31/rightwing-activist-christopher-rufo-ties-scientific-racism-journal
Two days after Archer left, the magazine sunk to new depths and published an article supporting the discredited by Jonatan Pallesen.Origins of AIDS: The polio vaccine hypothesis. aporiamagazine.com. 
The new editorial under Noah Carl and Bo Winegard has been criticised by a few Aporia readers who have complained about Carl's pro-Putin views.https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/im-leaving-aporia/comments
Despite claiming he was leaving, Archer on 8 September 2024 appeared on Aporia's podcast to host a discussion with child-porn advocate Emil Kirkegaard including a 10-minute explicit sexual discussion on "sperm selection".https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/how-stupid-is-the-average-person-b94 The video title has been mocked on social media for containing a photo of Kirkegaard with the question, "How stupid is the average person?".https://archive.is/GtgOc
In October 2024, Hope not Hate exposed the fact Archer had never truly left Aporia and was still the admin of the Aporia Telegram chat.https://investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/race-science-inc/
