Race Realism, the only true science, apparently gets rid of trivialities like "excluding confounding factors" and "statistical significance".https://twitter.com/Outsideness/status/1005890526317383685 …

Quite the opposite. The HBD side of this argument is the only one that seems to have the remotest understanding of what a confounding factor is.

If they have one that precludes controlling for SES then their understanding is pretty eclectic, to say the least. Incompatible with the one used in the sciences.

don't you understand, the sciences are BAD bc they treat SES as a confounding factor rather than something that needs to be explained away in the name of [squints] political neutrality

The dogmatic assumption that SES is a genetically independent variable IS leftism.

Nick, controlling for SES (or any other factor) is not a "dogmatic assumption". It is a necessary part of producing a valid empirical study.

Bullshit. You can't control for the impact of the thing you're trying to examine without making that thing disappear.

This is an interesting take because our main evidence for intelligence difference comes from using factor analysis doing exactly what you say and coming up with "it's all caused by a general intelligence faculty", not intelligence disappearing.

How is this anything at all like the situation we're talking about? You can't control for whatever produces high test scores when evaluating IQ. Factor analysis certainly doesn't. Nor is anyone searching for a general hormonal factor. It's sheer smoke.

It certainly contains a great risk of social dysfunction, to the extent that it is hereditary I think this provides an opportunity for continuing the work of the Institute for Social Research through coercive eugenics
