The Most Dangerous Conservative

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/24/2024 2:22:12 PM

The New York Times put Charles Murray on the cover of its Sunday Magazine, calling him "The Most Dangerous Conservative." That was after he co-wrote the book, "The Bell Curve," which argued that different ethnic groups have, on average, different IQs. As Murray puts it in my video this week, "Blacks on average have a lower IQ than whites. However, whites are not at the top. East Asians, on average, have a higher IQ than whites. Ashkenazi Jews have higher IQs." Other researchers agree.

The book DID NOT argue this point. The book was NOT about these differences. The book was about how people used be distributed in a bell curve in all jobs and how modern societies have, to some degree, sorted out the more intelligent and tended to push them to get college degrees. The whole "race"angle was perhaps 5% of the book, and a sort of a glancing thing. It was NOT the topic of the book. And YES I have read the book.

#2, I have also read "The Bell Curve." IIRC, the "racial' portion was ONE SENTENCE, very nearly the same as the one in the article. That's it. I would much rather he had left that out so that his many other valid points concerning sociology and criminology could enter the public discussion without being shouted down by the usual suspects.

It's as educational methods and family involvement as native ability. Blacks have to practically raise themselves. Hispanics are often in similar straights. White sporadically help their kids, when they learn they're having trouble. Asians cram and recite and memorize. If it's not mom riding their studies, it's an older sibling. Failure, is not an option. This is reflected on how well they do on these tests.

#6, if you look at th list of institutions - corporations, consulting firms, financial institutions with Asians at their head then it is not just the tests at which they are doing well. But later in life too. About 11% of the student population in America's top 50 colleges is African American. Their percentage of the population is roughly 14%. The -ve difference is pointed out as pone proof of the country's innate racism. But is only academic performance like SAT AP and GPAs are considered in admission this percentage will drop below 3%. That is a reality Blacks and non-blacks in America live under.

Who has a higher IQ isn't an issue. However, watch or read Jordan Peterson's assessment of people that have an IQ of 83 and lower. This group makes up ten percent of the total population. This is the real issue.

I agree. I agreed in the 1970s when I bought the book, before the black race became the golden children of the world. A race doesn't pick up IQ average points in a 50 year period so the conclusions in the book are still valid. So are the causes and reasons for the disparity.

If you say white men can't jump the reaction will be either agreement or a chuckle but until Javier Sotomayor broke the high jump record it was held by a white man almost all of the years since 1827. As a side note it is kinda humorous that the record in 1827 was 5 feet 2 inches which is a foot less than a decent high school jumper can do now. Landing on sand after clearing 8 feet would not be pleasant.

Donald Trump will be allowed to stay on the 2024 primary ballot in Maine until the Supreme Court rules on a similar case in Colorado. The state's top court declined getting involved in an appeal to keep the ex-president off the ticket, and now leaves the case's fate with the nation's highest court. Democratic Secretary of State Shenna Bellows concluded that Trump didn't meet ballot qualifications under the insurrection clause in the Constitution.But a judge put that decision on hold pending the Supreme Court's decision on the similar case in Colorado. In a unanimous decision on Wednesday, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court dismissed Bellows' appeal of the order requiring her

Joe Biden, or more likely his handlers, levied an ultimatum on Thursday, demanding that Gov. Greg Abbott relinquish control of the "disputed" border areas Texas has been securing. That came after 25 states joined together to pledge their support to Abbott as he battles the federal government and its refusal to enforce immigration laws. The date for the demand is set for Friday, January 26th, with the Biden administration saying it wants full access to Shelby Park, a boat launch, and the international bridge.

Former president Donald Trump is taking the witness stand today as he bids to convince jurors he should not pay any damages to his accuser E. Jean Carroll despite having been found liable for defaming and sexually abusing her. Lawyers for Carroll are expected to wrap up their case in federal court in Manhattan, and Trump is then expected to give what could be explosive testimony in his own defense. Carroll, 80, is suing over Trump's June 2019 denials that he raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan. The former Elle magazine advice columnist is seeking at least $10 million.

Nitrogen hypoxia: Why Alabama's execution

Posted by Hazymac 1/25/2024 9:26:22 AM Post Reply
Alabama was set to carry out the first-ever execution by nitrogen hypoxia on death row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday. The planned execution raises heated questions about the ethics of using the untried method to execute Smith, who has been through one previous execution attempt. If the execution is carried out, nitrogen hypoxia would be the first new method of execution since 1982, when the lethal injection was introduced. What is nitrogen hypoxia? Nitrogen hypoxia is a form of execution in which an inmate is deprived of oxygen until they breath only nitrogen, causing asphyxiation. Nitrogen, a colorless, odorless gas, makes up about 80% of the air we breathe. It isn't deadly until
