He is known for his public critiques of wokeness and his involvement in the hilarious Grievance Studies prank with Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose.

The paper argued that the penis should be seen “not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity”
