      The problem with the IQ discourse / recent-uptick-in-mainstream-discussion-of-HBD: People don't understand statistics intuitively. And I mean that in a very specific way: People *will* extrapolate from aggregate population differences to prejudice against individuals.

      Look at the reaction to James Damore. He discussed aggregate group differences — higher variance in male IQ, different interest tendencies — and a huge outrage contingent jumped straight to "you think women are stupid and unqualified." Because probabilities aren't intuitive.

      The flipped misconception happens also, it's just less visible because it thrives among outside-of-the-Overton-Window groups. For example, NYT publishes something sober and responsible like this https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/opinion/sunday/genetics-race.html … and it's taken as a justification of white ethno-nationalism

      Anyway I'm not sure how to fix or mitigate this problem, because our brains fundamentally run on heuristics.https://twitter.com/sonyaellenmann/status/979803764612775936 …

      I think Andrew Sullivan hit the nail on the head here, and I think globalized Asian identity politics will surprise American liberals and leftists. How are China and India going to react to IQ differentials among populations?
