So lovely to hear the thoughts of an intellectual with more integrity, heart and practical, common sense than ego. You remind me a little of Thomas Lowell, another too rare and beautiful human being.

What Charles Murray says is the elephants in the room that nobody will discus. There are genetic differences in the races., and sadly no outside intervention can change that. Look at the school program HEAD START. When they looked at that data for children in first grade it seem like they had closed the IQ gap between white students and Black students ,but by the time they were 18 all the benefit was gone . If the difference was racism that would be a good thing because then you could do something about it ,but sadly its genetics.

There are few issues, an important one is how to explain difference among groups of people, scientists think the answer is either biological/genetic or environmental/acquired and miss the real reason which is the interaction between the two and neither one alone! Human societies tend to develop the environment that is best fit the biological talents and skills of their members, the anglosaxons did that for generations achieving good results and think it should work for all other societies!

It’s like your coworker who says, “I’m not racist, but did you hear the one about about dumb n*****s are?” He uses the “disclaimer” to legitimize and authorize bigotry.

Considering the topic of the book, it's daunting how much power people of utterly mediocre ability to think took in the months following this event. Aristotle was right about slave mentality...

First the sociologists tried to get around the truth by saying their wasn't enough time for significant differences in intelligence to evolve between ethnicities since we left africa. Now they are trying to get around it by saying the differences are so big we can only look at families because differences within those are already so significant that ethnicity pales in comparison. Both are obviously wrong. They are not scientist they are wishfull thinkers.

If you're looking for a real answer, I'm happy to provide. It's not that humans can't be bred to have extreme differences. It's that they 1) shouldn't and 2) would need more time than we've been on this planet to depart from one another the way dog breeds have. (Dogs breed in litters, with a few months of incubation, and can start reproducing as early as 2). It is commonly accepted that human individuals have rights to their own autonomy and future, unlike dogs. Dogs are and have always been property (or pests). They were designed to work, fight, or socialize. This is the POINT of breeding. Failing any of these usually results in extermination. English bulldogs were made with a purpose, but breeding has made it to where they cannot give brith without human asistance. Not exactly something I'd inflict on any human just to give them a bigger brain. Now why would we introduce breeding to the human world when the greatest thing about being human is that we get to choose our own paths in life? Let's look at dogs. Dogs have litters of pups at a time over an incubation period of just a few months and are able to begin the process of reproduction as early as two. Therefore, ending up with breeds so different from each other is a quick process compared to humans. Dogs are also property. They do not have agency over their own lives. Their right to live is solely dependant on their

​@@nyna3501 While I'm sympathetic to your first point, I think your second point follows from a bad conception of eugenics and a misunderstanding of the type of evolution we're talking about. First and foremost, the purpose of dog breeding was never to increase or decrease the gentic distance between dog breeds, but to achieve certain combinations of desirable traits. Second, we're not talking about building up new allele complexes from scratch through random mutation, selection, fixation, repeat as necessary. That sort of thing really is super-slow, and Lewontin was right about it taking way too long. Rather, we're talking about selection on extant variation, which is something that happens fast and hard. If you're interested, we actually have a really good quantitative understanding of how this works. You can look up the breeder's equation if you want to. But as an example, if we select the top 1/3rd of a population based on a trait that is .6 heritable, then the first generation of offspring will have an increase in that trait of about 2/3rds of a standard deviation. For an idea of what something like this has looked like in practice in recent human history, I would recommend something like Gregory Clark's A Farewell to Alms. I'm not completely confident that things happened the way he described, but it's a plausible story that fits with a modern quantitative understanding of heredity, and it would explain a great many things if true.

@@OptimalOwl if humanity had a long and consistent history of compassion, I could see myself indulging in going further down this rabbit hole. But whether or not it works isn't the issue. It's not even what traits humanity is looking to pass down. It's how this process, if conducted, will inevitably go. If it happens on first world soil (which is the most likely situation) most involved in this experiment will be white or asian. It doesn't matter if the trait we are aspiring to produce has nothing to do with race (like intellect or certain immunities to diseases). The fact is that such traits will come to be present in a certain portion of the human population almost exclusively, and that's ALL it takes in order for things to go horribly horribly wrong for those left out of this genetic lottery over time. Except this time, there will be objective scientific evidence that said super-beings are better instead of (only) racist rhetoric. And being 'sympathetic' to this fear isn't going to keep people like me alive if that happens. Like Jeff goldblum said in that fantastic documentary, Jurassic Park, everyone is so concerned about whether we could that nobody stopped to think about whether or not we should.

The second guy is obviously intelligent, but he sounds like a bumbling fool compared to Murray. But then any one would.

Wild theories, not peer reviewed. Might one day be considered the ambiguous, authoritarian mysticism that led to other narrow justifications. About as unclear and "junky" as the science he is criticizing.

Mr. Murray has little to disagree with in Connally's retort. Well how about this, the removal of lead from gasoline has increased IQs. Its possible, but how much. Like a lot of what he says, that statement is utter nonsense. For that matter what Murray says is well known to laymen who are untarnished by academia. Social scientist, psychologist have done great harm to any of us who are not critical thinkers.

I think lead used to play a part in racial differences in life outcomes. For a long time, lead exposure was high among all groups. Then we noticed that this was a bad thing, and we started fixing it. The process of de-leading took a few years longer for some groups than for others. During those years, there racial differences in average blood lead levels were large enough that they probably did widen the gap in life outcomes. Today of course, all major groups in First World countries have pretty low blood lead levels. You can still find instances of some neighbourhood or other being poisoned, but it's rare enough that it doesn't create much of a difference in terms of whole-group averages. I don't remember the details, but I remember seeing a toxicology model which said that, if blood lead levels were reduced to ==0 from what they are today, that would result in a gain of less than 1 average IQ point. I think it was on a video by the KZreadr Modern Heresy.

You don't have to be Charles Murray to understand this. Western Civilisation has dumped TRILLIONS into minorities both in the west and in their own countries to little or no avail.

What an incredibly stupid, fatuous comment. The Gulf states are some of the richest countries in the world, and have almost exactly the same ethnic makeup as some of the poorest countries in the Middle East. China was as poor as many African countries until a couple of decades ago, even though nothing about its ethnic makeup has changed since then. America's infrastructure was largely built by African slave labor, while those same laborers were denied property rights for 200 years in that country. Even today America's wealth is largely built on importing goods from developing countries, which produce those items more cheaply and efficiently than American workers can. Almost everything America consumes, from food, to oil, to consumer goods, is imported from developing countries which produce those items, and effectively subsidise America's economy.
