yeah when you put it like this, "do siskind's Black patients have a right to know that he thinks they are genetically inferior" seems like a pretty straightforward question to answer

Does he believe they are genetically inferior? I've followed a few links people have presented as proof and I've yet to find anything of the sorts What I have found is the opposite

There are a couple things "the opposite" could mean: 1) Black people are genetically *superior* to white people 2) Eugenics is total bunk, and none of the important traits that people think of as "superior" or "inferior" can be mapped to genetic causes in any predictable way

Yeah, if you are stuck in that mindset, except there is at least one more - people are not inferior or superior when considering their "race"

Ah, yes, the rhetorical dodge where IQ/the g-factor don't imply you're a better or worse *person* It's just that, in Scott's view, the g-factor determines how good you are at doing nearly anything that matters in life, and determines who can be safely trusted to make decisions

How did that become a rhetorical dodge? Also, references, mate All I see is people claiming that some dude is super racist and the best proof they have is, "hey, I guess so"

I actually don't care about whether you think my IQ makes me a better or worse person in some abstract metaphysical sense I care about whether you think it should be used to determine whether to allow me to hold positions of power and responsibility

OK, because I have no opinion on the matter Or, are you also imagining that part?

Okay, well, Scott clearly thinks whether high-IQ or low-IQ people are the ones doing important jobs is *very* important and has talked about this several times

You'll probably accuse me of eugenics as well now, but I'd prefer my GP not to believe in acupuncture and actually know something about medicine

the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski had an IQ of 167 and I surely wouldn't have wanted that guy in any powerful positions
