It is not the job of science to tell you that the world works the way you imagine it does, or to tell you which world you ought to want. It’s not the job of scientific evidence to paint neat pictures or justify any more or less than it does on its merits. http://amp.nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/03/denying-genetics-isnt-shutting-down-racism-its-fueling-it.html?__twitter_impression=true …

It’s short-sighted to insist that there’s no feasible hereditary basis for IQ differences between pops, esp. for progressives. There’s no inherent merit or moral value to a high IQ. We could be creating a society that doesn’t leave people behind! This is the wrong hill to die on.

The problem is that the science is actually not on the side of the ppl who try to push race I.Q. at least not in the way they push it https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/12/17/none-of-the-above?irgwc=1&source=affiliate_impactpmx_12f6tote_desktop_Skimbit%20Ltd.&mbid=affiliate_impactpmx_12f6tote_desktop_Skimbit%20Ltd ….
