      I hv smart Chinese friends who hv most of these views but no fear of intermarriage.. In fact they know the Han people absorbed many others via intermarriage and cultural assimilation.. IF LKY was anti race mixing, that may be a personal idiosyncrasy/relic of his westrn education?

      Lol you think he didn't come to these conclusions after deep reflection?

          Doc you read Razib regularly, you understand genetic differences, you know the IQ literature I hope? You get David Reich's science. What exactly do you think LKY was wrong about?

          Did I say he was wrong? (I think he likely likely overestimated the genetic contribution, but that would be my best guess, not certainty.. Anyhow my point was exactly the opposite: that LKY seems willing to decide based on observations, evidence, argument.. Not received wisdom

          Ah ok. Remember I'd said that LKY was the MOST OPTIMISTIC scenario for keeping liberalism?

          LKY maintained a multicultural society with prosperity and peace and to a certain extent, freedom. But Western liberalism is full of Noah Smiths.

          Also keep in mind that he could be dead wrong about the biological mechanics and yet be absolutely spot on about particular short term statecraft decisions.. The two arenas are on almost completely different planes.. This is a difficult point to explore on Twitter though :)

          Arguably, he's even more right about long term statecraft! Though yes absolutely. My point was more about the inability and complete incomprehension of mainstream Western liberals with regards to human group differences in policy (anything except screaming 'discrimination')

          Who knows. People have internal views, compartments, fashions..
