Sorry wrote previous tweet before reading your post. point remains though: The social implications of his results and yours are radically different. claims with large implications require large evidence. By this view there's no hypocrisy from him.

No, it is claims that are extraordinare that require much evidence. Things which are otherwise difficult to believe. Not potential truths that you may find uncomfortable. Also, they state in the paper that these findings are tentative and require more evidence...

Replying to @Scientific_Bird @KirkegaardEmil
I agree re: extraordinary claims but, it's not either/or. potentially harmful claims also require more evidence. I don't think these things should be banned from research, but given how they *will* be misused, the standard of evidence needs to be higher.

Please describe the likely misuse of data showing 1) Ashkenazi Jews to be smarter than gentiles, 2) genetic data indicating this is probably due to genetics for the most part. Because to me this sounds like convenient BS made up to enforce double standards for things you dislike
