It seems relevant to point out that somebody flagged this article.

Hey, @dang, author here. I don’t think this deserves flagging! The topic is serious and worth thinking about.

Update: I don’t think you’re correct, however, that there is “strong evidence that IQ is linked to group genetics“. This is, for both scientific and political reasons, a very difficult area to work in, and I don’t believe the evidence is in to either support or rebut that claim.

The default position should be a heavy bias towards believing the genetic explanation is at least somewhat correct. Within group heritability may not directly imply between group heritability, but it makes it very likely. The left is too intellectually dishonest to admit that.

jlawson is correct, it's been basically game over for the strong environmentalist position since Lasker et al 2019.
