    The dishonest social scientists are going to be BTFO in the coming years. Not in the indefinite future, either--soon. In many ways, they already have been, but we're in the early stages yet. Genetic sequencing is in the process of putting the pretty little lies to rest for goodhttps://twitter.com/pnin1957/status/1055817313197441024 …

    Intelligence is the best studied and most powerful construct in the social and behavioral sciences. If you completely reject its construct validity, then you must logically reject just about all social science. Time for social scientists to close up shop and go home?

        The real question is if they'll even notice or care. They're already pretty much ignoring psychometrics and behavioral genetics, e.g. Philip Cohen (sociologist) liked this reply in the thread.https://twitter.com/csmarcum/status/1055819739996610560 …

        You're right! Social scientists have studied measures of intelligence long enough to thoroughly conclude that they're meaningless as instruments of innate ability as they've been derived with racial and ethnic biases built into their structure. Thanks for pointing that out.

        They may not care about the data, but the data will care about them. This stuff is actionable. There will be court cases about it and it will have ramifications for labor law. This stuff isn't way off over the horizon anymore, it's coming into view nowhttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/09/06/184853.1 …

        The courts are completely ill-equipped to interpret scientific evidence and the state of consensus. Example: This one totally BS study was solely responsible for flipping a state supreme court on a key case.https://twitter.com/AnechoicMedia14/status/1050785002881986561 …

        The Washington Supreme Court just struck down the state's death penalty based on a faulty racial bias study whose results *weren't even statistically significant* at the 5% level. Not a single media report details the problems raised with this paper. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/11/656570464/washington-state-strikes-down-death-penalty-citing-racial-bias …

        Look at how long really bad right-wing beliefs on climate change stuck around, and that was with the entire weight of elite opinion propagandizing against them. Now imagine the same imbalance of power, but the truth is flipped. Will it matter to any reporter, activist, or court?

        Genetics can predict things (unlike people talking about the climate, who can’t)

        The evidence has been overwhelming for decades and it hasn't stopped them yet. Academic departments are self-propagating and dishonest people choose to hire more dishonest people. Tenure, too. Did you read the career narrative that starts The Nurture Assumption?

        If the lies are already scientifically untenable but the propaganda continues, maybe the lies will survive? Daniels observed that commie propaganda was intended not to deceive but to humiliate—everyone knew the ppl in power were lying, but everyone knew they could get away w it.

        This is assuming the technology is allowed to advance, though. The Catholic Church was able to inhibit the development of astronomy for centuries — Copernicus to Galileo is 200 years.

        Thats a bit of a red herring, no? The vast populations of Europe were illiterate during that time, so control was far simpler.

        Are illiterate people really easier to control? Afghanistan would seem to refute that claim

        I admire your audacious optimism but I'm not sure it's warranted. Race-deniera control all the levers of power.
