I have just learned that the mob has been successful in getting social scientist Noah Carl fired from his position at Cambridge. The statement from St. Edmund's apologises for the "hurt" caused by his appointment. Read the back-story herehttps://quillette.com/2018/12/07/academics-mobbing-of-a-young-scholar-must-be-denounced/ …
General intelligence is the best-established, most reliable, most predictive, & most heritable trait in all of the behavioral sciences. Isn't it interesting that young researchers are systematically deterred from studying it, & their careers are wrecked if they do?

The knowledge gained by the objective study of general intelligence is useful and morally neutral. The fact that SJW's see it as problematic says more about their own capacity for prejudice and projection than it does about anyone else's.

Excuse me, but in case you missed the memo, what these leftists and liberals doing to every student and professor for wrongthink is straight out from the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s all the way to the 1970s. We both know how it ended.

For the sort genuinely interested in understanding the human condition, what's more appealing than a chance to bring science to topics like "intelligence" or "gender"? WIMPS NEED NOT APPLY...unfortunately, your curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn won't be enough.

Could this be dangerous information for us to know? What would it do to society if it was widely accepted? There might be a reason it is rejected so aggressively.

I was getting the impression that so much good research was coming on line that it had become an irresistible force. Call me an optimist but I could see NPR doing another James Watson special to make up for the insipid hit piece they did.

Tbf the lead crime hypothesis of Rick Nevin is pretty interesting.

The deterrence hasn’t been just an open letter. Rational Wiki’s page on Carl is damning. Who is running that site or editing that page?
@Quillette was also implicated in Carl’s profile. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Noah_Carl -
PS — the page was updated within the last 24 hours. The pernicious nature of this particular character assassination is very disturbing.
