Nathan Knows Nothing: More on Blackademic Bullshit, Semitic Subversion and the Cluster-Cuck at Cambridge

Subtle symmetry. I like that in a work of art. And I was delighted to spot it in “Jason and the Arday-Nauts.” This is a hilarious live-action farce that’s been running in the Yookay for years. A blatant Blackademic bullshitter called Jason Arday has been feted and fawned over by British leftists. The leftists believed Arday’s ever more extravagant fables and he rose ever higher in academia, eventually securing a prestigious professorship at Cambridge University.

Vibrant villain, heretical hero

And then a scorned Semitic scholar called Nathan Cofnas launched a hypersonic missile at Arday from Ghent University, whither he had been driven into exile from Cambridge because of his heretical ideas about Black IQ. Cofnas analyzed Arday’s work and found extensive plagiarism from multiple sources. Arday’s impostures began to collapse and in August 2026 he was forced to resign from his prestigious post, still denying any wrongdoing even as he confirmed what Cofnas says about Blackademic inadequacy. Arday’s resignation letter was obviously written by AI.

Mirror-Mensches #1: vibrant villain Jason Arday and heretical hero Nathan Cofnas

So what’s the subtle symmetry in “Jason and the Arday-Nauts”? It’s this: the vibrant villain, Jason Arday, and the heretical hero, Nathan Cofnas, mirrored each other’s behavior. That is, each did the opposite of what the other did. In the farce, Arday pretended to be much more intelligent than he really is. But Cofnas pretended to be much less intelligent than he really is. You see, in the farce Arday has had the firm support of Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, a distinguished Jewish academic at Cambridge. When early rumblings about Arday’s villainy shook the academic world in 2025, Baron-Cohen rushed to the Blackademic bullshitter’s defense with a letter entitled “URGENT: PLEASE SIGN ANTI-RACISM LETTER FOR JASON ARDAY.” In 2026 Baron-Cohen signed a ludicrous petition in support of Arday at the self-aggrandizing Good Law Project. That was when Nathan Cofnas pretended to be much less intelligent than he really is. Cofnas tweeted his bafflement at Baron-Cohen’s continued support for the sub-Saharan pseudo-scholar Arday:

Simon Baron-Cohen signed this crazy woman’s Arday plagiarism denial petition! The other signatories are idiots, so no explanation needed. But I don’t get Baron-Cohen. He needs to study his own brain. (Disingenuous tweet by Nathan Cofnas, 29^th July 2026)

Simon Baron-Cohen is the second pale-punim’d petitioner, and only non-idiot, among Jason’s Arday-Nauts at the Good Law Project

Cofnas is perfectly correct that the other signatories to the letter are “idiots.” But he is being disingenuous when he says “I don’t get Baron-Cohen” and suggests that Baron-Cohen’s involvement could only be due to mental aberration. Cofnas knows perfectly why the highly intelligent Jew Baron-Cohen has supported the lowly intelligent Black Jason Arday. As I said in my own review of “Jason and the Arday-Nauts”:

Baron-Cohen supports Jason Arday not because he thinks over-promoting Black non-entities is good for Blacks but because he thinks it’s good for Jews and, conversely, bad for Whites. However, don’t expect Nathan Cofnas to explore this very important Jewish aspect of the Arday scandal and of wider minority-worship. I’ve said before at the Occidental Observer that I admire Cofnas’s moral courage and his willingness to address the dangerous topic of racial difference. But I don’t admire his intellectual honesty. How could I admire something that disappears whenever Jewish interests are at stake? […] Jews [like] to see a Black on top not because they love Blacks but because they loathe Whites. Over-promoting Blacks means under-promoting Whites. Every dollar devoted to undeserving Blacks is a dollar diverted from deserving Whites. In their activism on behalf of non-Whites, Jews and the leftists controlled by Jewish ideology are not, at bottom, motivated by the desire to help non-Whites but by the desire to harm Whites. That’s why the highly intelligent Jewish academic Baron-Cohen is supporting Jason Arday in the face of such overwhelming evidence that Arday is guilty of serious academic malfeasance. (“Blatant Blackademic Bullshit: Cofnas on a Cluster-Cuck at Cambridge,” The Occidental Observer, 1st August 2026)

Cofnas’s pretended bafflement about Baron-Cohen is a paradigmatic example of how Cofnas’s intellectual honesty “disappears whenever Jewish interests are at stake.” Cofnas himself believes that “the number of black students at Harvard would fall below 1% if admissions were meritocratic.” He’s right to believe that. But he doesn’t want to admit the central Jewish role in the anti-meritocracy that currently prevails, whereby Harvard admits Black students based on melanin, not on merit, and whereby Cambridge feted the blatant bullshitter Jason Arday because he was Black, not because he was brainy.

The Dark Shvarts

However, I don’t blame Nathan Cofnas for pretending to be baffled by Baron-Cohen. If I were lucky enough to be Jewish myself, I think my intelligence would surge and my honesty would plummet. If I were a Jewish race-realist like Cofnas, I too would be embarrassed to see a Jew like Simon Baron-Cohen supporting a blatant Blackademic bullshitter like Jason Arday. And I too would selectively suspend my race-realism and pretend not to know why Baron-Cohen is supporting a sub-Saharan pseudo-scholar. Cofnas grew up in New York and knows perfectly well that in private Jews often hold “shvartses” and “shvoogies” in contempt. Shvartse, literally “black person,” is the Yiddish equivalent of “n*gg*r”; shvoogie seems to be a clever blend of shvartse and “boogie.” That’s Jewish ethnocentrism. But it’s also Jewish ethnocentrism when, in public, Jews express solidarity with those same shvartses and shvoogies. As Franklin Foer put it at the Atlantic:

In the old Jewish theory of American politics, the best defense against the anti-Semitism of the right was a united left: minorities and liberal activists locking arms. When I was young, rabbis and elders reverently told us about the earnest young Jews in chunky glasses who had jumped aboard the Freedom Rides; about Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, in his unmissable kippah, marching right next to Martin Luther King Jr.; and about the martyrdom of Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, two Jews who had been murdered alongside James Chaney, a Black Mississippian, for their work registering Black Americans to vote. A coalition of the tolerant pressed the country to live up to its ideals. (“The Golden Age of American Jews Is Ending,” The Atlantic, 4th March 2024)

So Jewish support for Blacks in America isn’t genuinely pro-Black but self-servingly pro-Jewish: it’s “the best defense against the anti-Semitism of the right.” Simon Baron-Cohen thinks the same in Britain, but Nathan Cofnas can’t admit it. That’s why Cofnas has followed the lead of another highly intelligent Jew in another classic farce. I don’t like television, but I can’t deny that it has produced some genuine works of art. One of them is a comedy series called Fawlty Towers (1975), written by and starring John Cleese. His role as the irascible hotel-owner Basil Fawlty was one of the two best performances in the farce of Fawlty Towers. The other best performance was by the Jewish actor Andrew Sachs, who played a bumbling and barely Anglophone Spanish waiter called Manuel. In one episode, “Communication Problems,” Basil is anxious to conceal a big win on the horses from his battle-ax of a wife, Sybil Fawlty, who has banned him from gambling. Basil carefully coaches Manuel in pretend ignorance about the win and Manuel dutifully complies, practising the phrase “I know notheeng.” Of course, there is a plot-twist (no spoilers) and Basil needs Manuel to abandon his ignorance and admit the truth. But Manuel continues to repeat “I know notheeng.”

Mirror-Mensches #2: Manuel and Nathan both “know notheeng”

In the farce of Fawlty Towers, Manuel was stupid. In real life Andrew Sachs, the Jewish actor playing Manuel, was anything but stupid. The same is true of Nathan Cofnas. In the farce of “Jason and the Arday-Nauts,” Nathan knows “notheeng” about why Simon Baron-Cohen supports Jason Arday. In real life, Cofnas knows perfectly why an intelligent Jew supports a stupid Black. This doesn’t alter how Arday is the villain of the farce and Cofnas is the hero. But it does mean that Arday and Cofnas have both been dishonest. Arday was dishonest in a blatant Black way and Cofnas was dishonest in a sly Semitic way. As the old and implicitly race-realist Black saying goes: “It’s diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks.” Of course, if Nathan Cofnas wants to deny that he was dishonest about Baron-Cohen’s support for Jason Arday, he’s more than welcome to do so in the comments here at the Occidental Observer.

So over to you, Nescient Nathan: I’d be very interested to see you explain why you “don’t get Baron-Cohen” and how you, as a highly intelligent and politically aware American Jew, have never learned the “old Jewish theory of American politics,” that “the best defense against the anti-Semitism of the right was a united left: minorities and liberal activists locking arms.” But somehow I don’t think Cofnas will explain, because I don’t think Cofnas is really baffled at all. I think he’ll ignore this lowly goy’s request and continue to “know notheeng.” Cofnas has moral courage in spades, as it were, but his intellectual honesty disappears whenever Jewish interests are at stake.
