What are you talking about? Like, literally. In which way did "wokeness" cause this, and how did you find it rational to jump from an observation about a particular situation to a general position that seems both racist and misogynist?

Wokeness takes the premise that all groups equal behaviorally (absent discrimination) and takes it to its logical conclusion; the outcome is discrimination, violence and chaos. Women-dominated scientific fields seem prone to capture by advocacy/politics (and become unscientific).

I disagree -- for me (and Wikipedia) wokeness is about being aware of issues concerning social and racial justice. You seem to be taking wokeness to an extreme (that does have manifestations; but such is the case for any group) and then criticizing it for its extremity.

For example: a "woke" person might think, in the absence of concrete evidence to the contrary, that systemic racism and economic inequality suffice to explain gaps between groups in many dimensions (say, academic performance).

This seems an altogether reasonable position to me; we know that racism exists (if you don't believe in racism *now* somehow, you surely have to believe in racism in the past -- and the past determines the present, clearly). We know that economic power determines opportunities.

So, since they are known relevant factors, let's remove them from the picture (fight racism and economic inequality), level the playing field so to speak, wait enough years (to attenuate cross-generational effects) -- and then see what happens. What do you object to?

I'm not saying it's false. But I would've really have liked to see how those tests were being done and how many people took them. Furthermore does IQ-test really say that much from a fairly underdeveloped part of the world?

Seeing as how the IQ results are causal to the "underdeveloped" part you're proposing an entirely circular rebuttal. "I will only accept IQ results from developed first world countries" Look at the African diaspora - similar results in developed nations.

Ok. Can you please point me to an official study that shows what you are suggesting?

Nope, there are no official studies that are stamped with official science that show a 1 STDV IQ gap between blacks and whites and it's impossible to find them.
