What kind of "people like Scott", and what kind of political extremists?

I see a dead comment has cited "racial science" and "conservatives", seemingly out of nowhere. Has Scott written something "controversial" that I missed? Something that would offend the left wing?

If so, I can well believe that NYT would take it into their heads to write a semi-hit-piece on someone they perceive to be some sort of Jordan Peterson type.

Scott in his open thread a few weeks ago [0], posted a brief request for help by Steve Hsu, an MSU professor who endorses research into using genetic modification to increase human intelligence and blogs on scientific racism [1].
