They don't "fail", they just don't bother to inform themselves about it to the extent necessary; they leave it up to their social sciences counterparts. If people with the potential to be physicists turned their attention to social policy instead of physics, they would clearly be smart enough...

(My reply is getting long, and I'm running out of time, so I'll be brief for the remainder.) "Legislate based on knowledge about IQ scores" can mean many things. Allow me to outline my way of taking our knowledge about IQ into account when formulating social policy. Let me summarise...

Nik, thank you for the taking the time to write that lengthy reply. I understand very well that my views seem outrageous and extreme to most people. I'm attacking what are, in many ways, the bedrock assumptions that multiple generations in the west have now grown up with, so it's quite natural...

Firstly, that's hardly surprising. Physics specialists tend to spend most of their time engaged in "doing physics", not in analyzing social policy. Their lives being closely linked to universities, they are probably most influenced by their intellectual peers in the social science...

I won't hold my breath, but hopefully things like this can expose the ugly underbelly of African-American identity politics, and the effect they have on African-Americans' relations with the rest of America.

drmarkan, for a smart guy, you can be pretty stupid. Not only is Palestnians not focusing on killing Jews not the main reason for them turning on themselves, it is not any reason for them turning on themselves at all. You have to be pretty brainwashed by or firmly planted in Israel's "amen...

I think some trendy lefties are like that, flaunting their exquisite tolerance as a mark of moral superiority. Of course, they are really just unthinking hypocrites, living lives almost diametrically opposed to the very values they promote. Sometimes, that's understandable. For example...

That marks a pleasant change in sentiment, Nik. I recall you standing aghast that views like mine were being posted here and promising to shout me down at every opportunity. Let me clear up some of your confusion, though. I never suggested point-blank that blacks be sterilized. Ever...

You're right, I do find it hard to stay in one place. It's nice to put down roots. I just like discovering other parts of the world too much, for now. As costly (time and money) as that can be, I think it's better than bringing the whole world to you (current immigration policy).

Those who would deny amnesty are made of sterner stuff. Their type has virtually disappeared. Anyone thinking this sorry lot will opt for anything short of amnesty is deluded. That's the first part of whatever 'comprehensive' legislation is passed. The other part will most likely so...

Right-wing, yeah. Selfish? Yeah, somewhat, but not in a cruel way. Greedy? Hardly. Making money's a good thing, but I'm quite content with a lot less than conquering the world. I'm hoping to retire by the the time I'm 40, owning a modest home and on an income of only something like...

Heard the joke about the finance ministers? African finance minister is visiting his Asian counterpart's home. Stunned by the opulant mansion, he enquires how the minister came to afford such luxury. "See that bridge over there?" says the Asian, pointing out the window. "Ten percent."...

The end of America's short reign as the preeminent world power looms ever nearer. Beset with increasing racial, cultural and linguistic division, America is becoming a nation united by little else than common economic interests. Should the world undergo an economic dislocation similar to that...

I have no desire to hurt anybody, only to permit truth to be spoken. Speaking such truth may offend some people, that is certain, but that is only pyschological harm, the same as is suffered when one's most treasured symbols are debased. Causing unjustifiable physical harm to people is wrong...

Ah, lefties. They get teary-eyed about freedom of speech when the subject is smearing faeces on the American flag or dipping a crucifix in urine. They're only too happy to see 'sexists', 'racists', 'antisemites' etc muzzled, fined or jailed, however.

[/b] Domestically -- "Brazilification". Internationally -- China eclipses America economically, adding to America's domestic woes.

You "fimly believe" a lot of things, Nik. But can you defend those beliefs? I "firmly believe" that you cannot. And I "firmly believe" that your inability to do so is one of the "prime determinants" of your resorting to invective and innuendo.

There may not be a counter-trend in the sense of widespread and organized opposition, but there is certainly an opposition movement. And it is gathering steam. The problem is, the biggest reason it is gathering steam is because the numbers of racial and cultural incompatibles is steadily...

European procreation is only one side of the demographic equation, though. The other, imo, more important, half is halting the demographic increase of 'the other'. By that, I mean ending non-European immigration is absolutely imperative. Otherwise you have a demographic 'arms race', in which...

What does that mean, when they had no identity? (And this was back in the 30s (presumably), and you were mature enough at the time to note it and you now recall it? How old are you?)
