But the answer is yes, people with a functioning brain consider facts about IQ differences and their correlation to success in American society. People with a functioning brain, if they are clever, will consider ALL facts available to them in informing their opinions. If the facts are unpleasant, but the people themselves are not assholes, they will attempt to use those facts with discretion and consideration, in working toward the goals of a liberal society-- specifically, the goal of establishing equal opportunity for all members of the society.


Anyway, are you now saying that atheists are NOT tired of dogmatic bullshit? Should I make that the title of a new thread, and see what kind of response it gets? Or better yet, why don't YOU start that thread? Big Grin

I'm saying that those atheists the article are talking about are simply exchanging one type of dogmatic bullshit for another.

Also, it's one thing to consider IQ differences and their correlation with success in American Society and another thing entirely to make blanket statements about race and IQ, especially when one fails to discuss the nuance of what IQ actually is and its relationship with intelligence. Or even the limitations of IQ (protip, around the same time, Stanley Kubrick and Joachim von Ribbentrop had their IQ tested. Stanley Kubrick, infamous for becoming something of a whiz in any subject he set his mind to, was actually "below average" intelligence. Von Ribbentropp, infamous for being a diplomat with no concept of diplomacy and a Foreign Minister who didn't even know what his foreign policy even was, scored 129, about two standard deviations above the norm.)
