Most expensive cotton ever.
We could've had bases on Mars by now.
Murray’s Bell Curve has about 900 Pages. About 100 or maybe more, are about IQ differences in ethnic groups.Nobody ever talks about the rest, which is more important stuff by far.
That was what, 30 or 40 years ago?
Love him. I was introduced to him early in early adulthood by reading “Losing Ground” and “Gaining Ground” which covered the War on Poverty and then gains made during the Reagan administration.
In “The Bell Curve” he had a co-author who passed shortly after publication, leaving Murray to take all the heat by himself. Poor guy. Fortunately, he was and is up to the task of defending his work.
The Democrat elites are just following in the footsteps of their ancestors: keeping people on their plantations.
The Bell Curve is a well-reasoned analysis of real-world IQ testing. It reads like an academic paper, with solid references to the sources of information. There is nothing controversial about it, other than many don’t like the facts that are discussed. Yet they are facts.
As Thomas Sowell says, is there any reason to think that two groups will have exactly equal scores on any measure?
Science no longer exists. The establishment desires are supported by decrees which they call science.
Sounds like “reparations” have already been VASTLY overpaid.
SPOT ON!
I’ve read it too and I doubt that his detractors have read it at all.
I met a guy, (fiance of a member of my extended family) who proudly announced at dinner that he'd received an award for reducing his child welfare office's overhead from 90% to 85%.
The "welfare constituency" the Democrats are playing to is the workers, not the "clients".
Anyone that's been to East Asia knows that isn't true at all. Back when America controlled its borders, the government kept many of the stupid Asians out.
...unless it leads to an inconvenient truth.
The only curve that matters is the Moral Curve

The Japanese are smart. They’re nutty, but they’re smart.
