Andrew Sabisky
Andrew Sabisky is a 27-year-old writer and research worker[1] who worked as a political adviser in the office of UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.[2] He has described himself as a superforecaster.[3]
He was a speaker at the secretly held London Conference on Intelligence at UCL in 2015,[4] and has spoken at a number of ResearchED conferences.[1]
He describes himself as an Anglo-Catholic and believes that there are significant differences in average intelligence between different races. This caused concern among politicians of all parties in the UK Parliament only a few days after Sabisky's appointment in February 2020.[5]
Critics complain that Sabisky's views on the average IQs of black and white people make him unfit for his powerful role advising the UK prime minister.[6] UCL human genetics expert Adam Rutherford criticized Sabisky for citing allegedly fraudulent research, accusing him of "marshalling...specious science into a political ideology".[7]
Sabisky's views on enforced contraception[8] also raised concerns among politicians and some called for Boris Johnson to remove him.
Sabisky's position is controversial as he worked under Dominic Cummings, another special adviser to Boris Johnson. Cummings has been described as "running the government" by some ministers.[9]
He resigned from his advisory role on 17 February 2020.[10]
