The guy interviewing Charles Murray is uninformed about the issue at hand and like most people seems insistent on turning Murray into a caricature. Genetics is increasingly vindicating Charles Murray but pretentious journalists who prop up the lie of biological equality will be the last to get the memo. When they finally get it these same self-righteous types will pretend they were the first to accept scientific reality. I hope Murray's mailbox overflows with apologies, though it is unlikely.

Intelligence is malleable. Race has nothing to do with how smart you are, it is your environment, and personal values you hold that play the important factor.

[Beadbud5000]

for me it is irrelevent. MR to Menza, deformed, etc. all offer something to those that look.

@TulliusVII 'the guy' i a very clever guy...maybe you should be more informed...it's the well respected Paxman! Murray is tripping over his words

Eugenics is the only viable long term answer to global sustainability

[SaviorOfLogic]

@awrezy Apologies for the late reply, I didn't get it in my inbox. Yes, home environment can play a role, so can moving. However, IQ is .75 heritable. This only leaves .25 for the environment. Expressing IQ in terms of genes is stupid. Ask the same of height and you'd look rightfully stupid. IQ correlates very well with real life outcomes such as unemployment, income and crime, while being mostly genetic. I'm not saying environment has no impact, but the impact is relatively small.

IQ is real. IQ differs among groups. This is basic.

[BlackSunElite]

2:40 So genetic diseases should be left alone. Shortening the lives of future generations?

Alright, putting all ideals aside, its obvious that inferiority means lack of intellectualizing and cognitive capabilities. You suggest that some races naturally have inherit inferiority? And some races have natural superiority? First I would have to know whether you subscribe to the multiple intelligence theory.

[kbdkbd99]

@dancingwithcalvin you're grasping at straws now. It's unfortunate that we cannot have a real discussion about this because we are people who come from different viewpoints.

I observe facts, and then listen to different theories that might suggest how these facts arise.

On the other hand - you have an ideology - and then seek to invent facts that support your ideology.

I won't respond anymore because you're not seeking to find truth in any sense, but to use rhetoric to support your dogma.

Of course. The negro has inferior intellect, so he is the better worker rather than philosopher I suppose you are trying to emphasize? Its called racism.
