Open question to @charlesmurray, @SamHarrisOrg, or really anyone pushing biological reductionism in IQ, wage gaps, etc.:
What methodology do you believe separates the heritability of genetic influence from the heritability of bias against genetic traits (like skin color / sex)?

I mean, that’s kind of the reason I’m asking too. Your response has all of these assumptions in it - about which kinds of biases can affect development in this way, what directions those affectors have moved.. What is the actual signal you use to make those conclusions?

Because clearly, when we measure bias, we find a lot of it in our current society. Throughout career advancement, penalization, and basic emotional response, we know many different biases exists. How does one extract this from the heritability signal, since it is heritable.

Begging the question. There is no strong anti-black (etc.) bias in USA. Education system has a huge pro-black bias (affirmative action), so does hiring in many companies (diversity efforts). Survey evidence contradicts you as well.http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0183356 …
