Dude read his piece about how heritability of group differences is not well defined

Turkheimer is the top FUDster on the topic. We also know why he does it. If one really thinks that, obviously one will do everything in one's power to muddle the waters, which he does expertly. Turkheimer is a very smart guy who knows the field well. http://www.unz.com/jthompson/psychological-predictions-eric/ …pic.twitter.com/xMA8Fc1efP

Has he come up with a fundamental new insight? Or a powerful new method?

He is most known for the supposed social status x heritability interaction, which is actually due to Scarr (and Rowe), but since this seems to be incorrect anyway for Western countries, I don't know which of his many contributions you want to single out.

was 'gloomy prospect' his idea too, or would you credit Plomin for that, and Turkheimer just ran a 'yes, actually' with it?

Turkheimer's three laws are an extremely useful summation of behavior genetics. I disagree with him on many things, but I think it's very useful to have a contrarian like him in behavior genetics.

yes, I still recall the "top ten replicated findings in behavior genetics" saying constant critics were one of the reasons the field is as solid as it is :P

Condensed matter physics must suffer a lot from not having any ideological enemies. Think of all the crap that must get through.

On the other hand, the mean IQ of the field's players is 10-20 above that for psychology.

Mean honesty may matter more. Physicists are known for not stealing change off the bar.

Or autism. I know a lot of hard-nosed IQ people and autism scores are much higher there than in normie psychologists. This is also true for physicists. High autism people look at the data and ignore feelings and supposed social implications.
