How do schmoes like me who are really interested in this topic, but who don't have graduate degrees in statistics or genetics or neuroscience, tell which of you brainiacs are right?
Sullivan needs to eat more red pills, it seems. Bell Curve is mainstream science and so it was in 1994 too, and before that as well. You wanna stake your position by claiming otherwise, then you will be very disappointed with findings in the future. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/03/denying-genetics-isnt-shutting-down-racism-its-fueling-it.html …pic.twitter.com/uURWPI9MMT

Read the literature. Apply heuristics like "people who seem more concerned about politics and name calling are probably less interested in the truth". Learn statistics.

That bit from Sullivan's essay is poorly phrased, I think. It's important to note that under his editorial reign, The New Republic printed Murray & Herrnstein's full TBC precis (in 94) in addition to all those "eloquent" rebuttals. He was severely criticized for this approach.
