Although I agree his thesis far from proven, I think Vox dismissing it as "junk science" when majority position in field is dishonest.

perhaps people who are very interested in racial IQ differences and devote their career to them have certain biases that affect their work?
-
and these sorts of people would both be biased towards confirming murray's conclusions and to thinking he is a worthy figure to engage with

Agree this is a possibility. Also possible that fact that you'll get physically attacked for claiming diffs is bias against doing so.
-
but the people who do stake out ground on this seem to, if anything, enjoy the negative attention
-
I don't think it prevents people from joining field, I think it prevents people from reporting certain conclusions.
-
Being in field is perfectly fine as long as you have the right opinion.

sorry im a little unclear as to what you're claiming here?

I mean you don't get in trouble for researching race&iq and reporting that it's zero, you get in trouble for researching & saying it's real.

Ok, but now you're making an argument for extending a consensus view, not citing a consensus view.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm saying everyone agrees race is "real enough" for genetic sickle cell.
