Welcome to the first edition of the HBD 23, where I spotlight the 23 most popular HBD blogs as measured by alexa.com (a website shown to us by commenter Cale). Why 23? Because it rhymes with HBD and because it’s the number of pairs of chromosomes humans have, and thus a good number for human biodiversity.
Because this is the first edition, there are certainly mistakes. I have no doubt I have overlooked some blogs that belong on this list and included some blogs that are not HBD. But hopefully this will become a regular feature and the accuracy will improve.

My blog isn’t on the list due to HBD. It is because of the PDFs that I sometimes post.
Are you saying you’re not an HBD blog? Because if you’re not I can remove you.
I meant exactly what I said just above. Perhaps read it again? 🙂
My site rank is high not because of the blog text content, but because of the many PDF files. http://emilkirkegaard.dk/books/
HBD is the gasps of a dying man.
Everyone will end up looking and acting like the Obama clan in the end.
I’m a node on the network of the Dark Enlightenment, and my global ranking is 1,168,407, in a year when I haven’t written much. But I’m anonymous in large part because I subscribe to the Voldemort View, aka HBD, so I guess I’d like my 21 spot.
The rankings change quite a bit when you use just USA rankings. I move up 5 or 6 spots. Jayman plummets–I never knew his audience was so international.
I checked your ranking and you do indeed belong on the list so I added you since you caught the error quickly. Otherwise I would wait for the next edition.
who’s voldemort?
sounds like you’re just a nerd.
A nerd with numbers.
Jesus Christ, I cannot believe I have such a kickass blog traffic-wise. I am simply stunned. I am above Cochran, HBD Chick, Dienekes, Sailer, Jayman, Parapundit, Mangans, and Audacious Epigone?
Incredible.
Personally I visit more ur blog than theirs 😀
It is incredible that you rank higher than so many HBD luminaries but you’re not above steve sailers new blog (which is part of unz.com); only his old blog which has been inactive for a year.
But I was surprised you rank so high. I knew you’ld make the HBD 23 but i wasn’t expecting you to make the top 10
But it makes sense because your blog is very good.
Btw was that really Chris Langan in the comment section of your blog or just some joker?
That was apparently him all right.
I can’t believe it.
What did he say ?
Are we talking about the “smartest man in America” ?
What post was it?
It’s the posts “quadroons are hot”
“which is better for racial classification skulls or genes” “black genes ruins Portugal”
Well, it’s not “quadroons are hot” but “mexico 2.0”
Yes it was him all right. The smartest man in America. I can’t believe he showed up on my site! Well it is called Beyond Highbrow after all, so that defines him perfectly.
His comments were not particularly out of the ordinary.
He said, “Well I must say, I find this site pretty interesting.”
I am not sure who is reading it, but India Is a Shithole has long been one of the most popular pieces on the blog. It gets linked all over too. Sure Indians show up a lot, mostly to fight, but I just ban them right away if they do that. You cannot fight me on my site. Violation of comments rules. I ban new people every single day. It’s amazing really.
Most Indians get instabanned.
All feminists get instabanned.
Most gays get instabanned.
And sadly, most Blacks get instabanned too.
“Sure Indians show up a lot, mostly to fight, but I just ban them right away if they do that. You cannot fight me on my site. Violation of comments rules. I ban new people every single day. It’s amazing really.”
Gotta keep up your safe space right Robert? Don’t want people telling the truth about socialism now, do you?
I bet your “dirty India sh!thole” series must be extremely popular among 1.4 billion South Asians. ROFL
LOLOLOLOL FUNNY AGAGAGA LMAO XD XD XD XD
Personally I also used to love some commenters in his blog (Xera and Huax) and used to have one best friend there (Coward ), a kind of connection which didn’t happen in other blogs in my case 😀
What do you mean honey ?
Am I the honey? Soy yo la persona a la que llamaste miel? 😀
You think I was talking to this ugly yellow dude ?!
I didn’t understand what was your point and I am now lost with the use of the spanish (irony)
I am not a woman so I don’t get that easily double meaning.
Hahaha ok 😀 actually i am White Hispanic, well i would called that in your American census.
misdreavus and i are both:
1. pro-eugenics
2. stockholm school in economics
3. he may be or could have been a participant in the bgi study; i am.
pp should learn from this.
misdreavus and i are NOT both:
1. gay
2. non-white
3. south african
What is your point with Mugabe ?
the point is that mugabe’s land reform was well intentioned but poorly executed and sanctions have made zimbabwe’s plight even worse, and that the official story of the white african is both contradictory and false, and must be as it serves the prevailing ideology of global capitalism which itself is contradictory and false.
the same goes for videla’s junta. the people he had thrown out of airplanes were terrorists.he and pinochet were supported by merca-stan and mugabe isn’t. that’s the only difference between them.
I’m Austrian School (sort of)
How is Stockholm Economics going to work when it’s so susceptible to cheaters and subversives? Sweden is actively being destroyed by insiders and outsiders, unfortunately.
I do think that full blown Communism can work, but, to scale it to a large number of individuals, will require genetic engineering. I find cloning creepy, but I bet people would be willing to swallow a pill that gave them a green-beard gene. Humans love to form groups (even tho they always fail) as long as they are certain there won’t be cheaters and shirkers.
i’m stockholm within the paradigm where norms of reaction and what verwoerd called “differences between people” is NOT considered, is “off the table”.
i’m stockhom within the the paradigm where homogeneous vs heterogeneous population IS considered, is a factor.
american conservatism is unique, because america is heterogeneous compared to all other developed countries. libertarianism is about race whether its adherents realize it or not. but most americans, and all libertarians, take the us as if it were the whole world.
there’s a contradiction at the heart of capitalism. henry ford was aware of it, supposedly, and great man that he was remedied it.
if the workers can’t buy what they produce they’re either producing luxury/trivial goods or there’s a recession caused by underconsumption.
The difference is that your view of eugenics is based on pseudo-science, misdreavus’s take is actually scientific.
Therein lies the biggest difference of all, scholar vs. charlatan, genius vs. self-assured idiot.
You don’t have an iota of understanding of evolution, behavior genetics, or any science under the HBD umbrella.
you’re a derrick derek…
you’re the typical paranoid, emotional, make-shit-up, effeminate conservard.
you’re Stewart McKinney, David Brudnoy, Dennis Hastert, and that military guy from American Beauty.
23 just happens to be my favorite number.
A few comments: I’m familiar with most these, but I don’t necessarily follow all of them that closely. Is Violent metaphors HBD or anti-HBD? Just because someone is HBD-aware doesn’t make them HBD.
I’m a bit surprised Robert Lindsay is so dominant in the rankings. His approach to HBD topics is a bit…I wanna say…dilettante-ish?
Is Genetic literacy project really HBD or just genetics?
Where is Gene Expression or Razib Khan’s new site in the rankings? He is one of the key hardcore science HBDers.
And I know a lot of people hate this guy. Even I don’t agree with everything he says, although I like his older writings. That guy is Chateau Heartiste (formerly known as Roissy/Citizen Renegade). One of my earliest introductions to HBD, other than Steve Sailer and Lion of the Blogo-sphere (then known as Half Sigma). A lot of HBDers find his obsession with promiscuity repulsive or believe he misinterprets the Evo Psych studies upon which he bases his beliefs (which is somewhat true). In the past few years he also become too obsessed with white Nationalism, which made me lose interest.
Also I think Evolving Economics needs more love. He and Anatoly Karlin and Ben Southwood and Garrett Hardin at George Mason Unviersity are combining HBD with economics, which is just what the doctor ordered.

I found these blogs on the blog rolls of HBDers like HBD Chick, JayMan, and Steve Sailer, often specifically labeled as HBD blogs, but it’s likely there are some mistakes since this is the first edition.
I’m a bit surprised Robert Lindsay is so dominant in the rankings. His approach to HBD topics is a bit…I wanna say…dilettante-ish?
He’s someone who can post intelligently about a very wide range of subjects and can relate to many topics from personal experience.
Is Genetic literacy project really HBD or just genetics?
I believe HBD Chick had it listed as an HBD blog.
Where is Gene Expression or Razib Khan’s new site in the rankings? He is one of the key hardcore science HBDers.
I assumed Razib Khan was just part of Unz.com but if he has an independent blog I’ll be happy to add it if he qualifies before the deadline (mid June), otherwise, it will have to wait to the next edition, if he qualifies at that time. I’ll have to look into Gene Expression too.

I classified him as a man-o-sphere blog not an HBD blog, but I could be wrong
HBD includes the science of both gender and sex differences (evo psych) in addition to racial differences. Even though Heartiste focuses a lot on pickup, he talks about the science a lot, too (although, again, he has a reputation for “creative” interpretation of data). He debates a lot with the HBD crowd so I include him with them.
23 is the favorite number of my son.
Is that you Chase ?
Mine is 55 for those who want to know.
My favorite color is the red, so I am pretty lucky with this beautiful gravatar.
The thing is, most of those sites are HBD-dominant, but on my site, we talk about a zillion things, and yes there are some HBD posts. OTOH, I am not an expert on HBD, I am not really wild about the subject, and I dislike most HBD’ers. I like to say I am a race realist more than an HBD’er.
My site is simply huge. All of that traffic is not coming in for HBD stuff. It is coming in for 1,000 reasons. I have a very high traffic site that does deal with HBD at times, but that is not the focus. So that’s why my site is so high in the rankings.
Oops, I mean Garrett Jones, not Garrett Hardin
Well, HBD doesn’t require very high IQ.
I was in elementary school with Steve, he wasn’t specially smart(not dumb).
I also know HBDchick(she is my niece) and she’s just slightly above average.
Greg was the best friend of my old brother and he is very smart, but he is not excluvely in HBD stuff, he used to be a physicist.
LOLwhat? You know three top HBDers? Yea rite…
I don’t really know Greg, I always was very quiet when it was at home, because he was so confident and used a lot sarcasm. I was afraid to look stupid and ridiculous to him.
Well, you aren’t Chase.
Wasn’t Steve Sailer on Jeopardy? Must be very smart to even get on. HBD Chick is your niece? Just like Judah-spere is your son? That would make Judah-sphere and HBD Chick cousins. LOL. And yet Judah-sphere is 80% black.. In any event HBD Chick has stated her IQ on her blog.
Lion of the Judah-sphere isn’t my son, I thought it was because he have the same favorite number.
When I talk about not particularly smart, I mean <145 IQ.
We are talking about elite bloggers here, not about NYC policemen…
My niece never passed an official IQ test, but she have indeed estimated her IQ on her blog.
Wow! Not very smart = IQ <145! I just missed being a dummy by a hair. What is HBDChick's IQ?
I think she estimated 135.
She estimated her own IQ to be something like 125.
I mean…smart>130 ; very smart >145 but of course in the general population very smart>125…
She estimated to be either 125 or 130
LOL we have 3 differents answers
You guys are ridiculous it’s like young female who want to fuck with the charismatic R lindsay
Btw pumpkin have the exact answer and judah you are disqualified
HBD Chick writes like someone in the top 1%. Very clear, to the point and informative. And she adds a little rebelliousness by never capitalizing her letters, meaning she knows when to the break the rules. So her IQ must be 135.
She is a woman, she may have underestimated her IQ because of low testosterone and thus low arrogance. Intelligent people are also less arrogant.
HBD Chick also focuses on a less quantitative area of HBD (kinship) because of her anthropology background. Because of the lower rigor of qualitative research, some may downplay HBD Chick’s contribution, but believe me, everything she does is top notch!!!
Oups, I forgot Mr. Hsu who is very nice and smart man.
I have a lot of respect for him, I think I never met someone as humble as he was.
I don’t usually comment, but I see a lot of stupidos who are saying that Southern Euros are cognitively equals to Northern Euros, even that they are superior ! That’s complet bullshit !
Northern Europeans have an IQ of 102 while Southern Europeans have an IQ of 98(I don’t even talk about Southeastern Euros :D). “Mediterraneans” have a large north african admixture and even some black one especially in Poltougal.
You are less evolved just admit it, like admit that my ethnic group is less evolved than Koreans.
That’s true, they are less intelligent than NE in average.
No one said Southern Euros were cognitive equals to Northern Euros. Historically, Southern Euros have dominated the artistic and intellectual traditions of the West.
American Trailer rednecks are mostly descended from the Northern Euros, but the average Southern Euro in the Old World is smarter and more elegant. In the Old World, he is more cosmopolitan than the Northern Euro. I don’t see a big difference between Madrid and Berlin. Germans aren’t exactly Northern Euro anyway, more like Median Alpine Euro. However, I see a big difference between Madrid and Nordic Oslo, or Copenhagen.
Now go measure their IQs and see how is that relevant to anything in today’s world. Only one thing, who is ruder, coarser and not very insightful? American Rednecks.
I don’t think so, South euro countres looks like 3rd world (excepted the northrrn part) and this even when there are no immigrants.
A lot of commentators here, who happened to be East Asian, of course, will have an admiration for Northern Euros, due to their cognitive profiles being more compatible with that of East Asians. Northern Euros come across as more servile, high trustworthy, cerebral, affable and “nerdier”, compared to the more free spirited, sensual, often rebellious and sometimes, fiercely proud, Southern Euros, who also have an older history, and more experience in civic and political matters (which means more corruption and underhandedness).
I am happy to see that Jayman’s blog is in the top 23, I hope HBDsphere will become more and more black in the future because I don’t want to let such an interesting subject to stupid racists.
I hope someone will find a solution to raise Africans IQ whithout hurting these people who are unfortunately not very smart, highly irrationnal etc…
If I was smart enough I would open genetic research center in Africa and I would try to sensibilize my people to positive eugenics.
Good to see a fellow black HBDer. I recently contacted several black scholars and scientists including Roland Fryer regarding the possibility of starting a sperm bank to jumpstart a black eugenics project. No one has responded back yet.
I’m not sure where I’m gonna keep the sperm samples but it seems like a good idea.
LOL, when you learn enough to figure out which direction the “greater than” sign should be pointing, then you can criticize my alexa rank.
Where is blasian? In the future when it comes to genetic engineering, infusing sub-saharan genes and east asian genes, creates a superhuman. Then PP will discuss on his blog that this super alpha individual, is a sex machine, who is also very strong, with very high IQ and fast reaction time.
I sense hostility. I almost made the HBD 23 & all the blogs above mine have probably been around much longer which might mean I’m arguabley one of the fastest growing HBD blogs
Where is blasian
Been busy trying to find a better job. Not really a fan of this blog; just check it to see if Kate’s commented. I hope all is well with her. Academia can be very cruel to HBDers, even ones as bright as Kate.
Blasian the superhuman is back.
Can you tell us:
Your dick lenght in erection.
Your IQ.
Dude, my IQ is above 150. Hard to be more precise than that given the ceiling on tests. A lot of people here think they have high IQs but they don’t; I’m sorry.
Kate & I are the only commenters here with genuine IQs above 150. The difference between 150 & 140 is enormous.
My comment about ruling over the HBD-o-sphere was based on ignorance.
I had no idea how many unbelievably popular HBD blogs there are until i created the HBD 23 list
Yo Imma let you finish but I think Jayman has the best HBD blog of all time.
I didn’t discover his blog until last summer, but it has consistently, in my opinion, provided the most comprehensive understanding of the relationship between genetics and human culture (which is just a byproduct of genes). His series on the American Nations is truly brilliant, and totally revolutionized my understanding of American history and culture. And he cuts through a lot of the bullshit spouted by both conservatives and liberals by remaining as objective as one can possibly be. The downfall of some HBD bloggers is that they like to claim genetics are the cause of everything…except when they don’t want it to be. I think it’s funny when HBD conservatives claim that genes are the cause of all of black people’s failures- but want to ascribe cultural reasons whenever white groups or individuals fail.
Also, both he and HBD Chick lead the way in discussing HBD topics outside of IQ.
Oh, and Jayman also introduced me to the role of pathogens in human behavior. Truly a brilliant writer…
Cochran did that before ?
I didn’t know about it until I read Jayman.
Very well said I must say.
And thank you.
Now if only we could convince Misdreavus to blog.
