Jensen was a racist fraud? Which book of his did you carefully study?

Even if you disagree with Jensen, he’s undoubtedly one of the most important intelligence researchers of the 20th century. It’s an extremely hot take to assert that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Scholars certainly disagree with him. That’s a far cry from asserting that he was a racist or didn’t know what he was talking about.

He was a racist and on racial differences he didn’t know what he was talking about. It was enough to be an entire chapter in his tributed book edited by fucking Nyborg.

You use that word very casually. People who actually know the literature, say James Flynn, praised Jensen profusely and claimed he was a gentleman without a scintilla of racial bias. Possibly, you should actually read the literature first.

The interchanges between James Flynn and Arthur Jensen should be taught in philosophy of science courses as a model for scientist behavior.

Interesting to come across this thread. Was in another seemingly intractable discussion with this same individual on Rushton. Thread on LH.
