“all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says, not really.”

The weird thing is this could be turned around to be progressive. e.g. Saying trying to force our western culture and paradigms on a foreign culture is cultural imperialism and not appropriate for non western cultures.

e.g. Science is racist compared to folk beliefs.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ― Theodore Dalrymple
