      what I have trouble understanding is the the doctrinal adoption of slippery slope hyper-vigilance by those on the left. I find the right wing Christian fundamentalist objection to be a lot easier to understand (they have a religious doctrine directly undermined by the facts).

      I'm saying that in a tactical political sense they are correct in doing so. There is more to lose than gain in opening that can of worms. As Marx said, they seek not to understand the world, but to change it.

      Perceiving the world to be set up in an outrageously stupid immoral way is a good platform for politics, which is usually based on mustering shared outrage. Understanding gets in the way.

      Effect of behavior genetics thinking goes way beyond eugenics. Undermines almost all correlational social science.

      ok, that's what I'm trying to understand more. can you go into more detail on that point about social science?

      Best environmental predictor of child outcomes is maternal education level. Noticeably better than father. So we need to make sure all women go to college, rite?

      Or maybe children do better because they are related to mom who did well in school? And not always related to dad? Not the whole story, to be sure, but a huge confound.

      It's a game now. Take any correlational study in the news, reverse the implied arrow of causation, come up with a counter-narrative. Usually the political valence flips sign also.

      first story: head injury _causes_ disorder in mental faculty for impulse control and emotional regulation, results in more violent crimes of passion. policy preference: more lenient sentencing, more after care on emotional regulation for head injury patients.

      second story: people who are innately impulsive and poor at regulating anger and fear are elevated risk to engage in actions that could result in head trauma (including violent crime). policy: longer incarceration for violent offenders with head injuries

          Good long thread here. Don't have much to add other than while facts don't have political valence as such, they have an undeniable impact on proto-political narratives, partly by regulating what is and what isn't possible or cost-effective.

          or is/isn't ideologically captured. so many of the culture war battlefronts are really about uncaptured ideas being fought over by ideologues who seek to capture them.
