A comment on Can progressives be convinced that genetics matters?. Parent comment
She seems quite aligned with Chomsky on that front actually.
From the OP's article, she seems to be very aware that her research is reflective of current society and should be used to better/change it.
Chomsky mentions that such research could be useful e.g. for improving education - Harden seems to agree there.
"In 2018, she wrote an Op-Ed in the Times, arguing that progressives should embrace the potential of genetics to inform education policy."
So yeh, I don't think they are necessarily talking at cross purposes (despite the 40+ year time delay :P).
(First HN comment, be cool to hear back what you think!)
