Review of an anti-IQ book

"Although cloaked as a history of intelligenceresearch, one gets the impression that Murdoch cameto this project with a deep-felt antagonism against thestudy of intelligence, especially the field's relationshipwith the study of eugenics. Consequently, he uses thistext as a platform for his anti-eugenicists opinions and,to a lesser degree, his agenda for abolishing IQ tests.However, when not ill-informed, Murdoch's ideas areneither original nor perspicacious, and his historiogra- phy is very undisciplined, which ultimately leaves thereader questioning the purpose of this treatise. Murdochwould have been better off entitling his book,
“Selected personal and historical anecdotes to show why I hateintelligence research, eugenics, and related ideas.”
It would be a much more accurate description of the work he produced, and would save the reader from any false expectations"

Correlations between estimates of state IQ and FBI crime statistics

"State IQ was significantly and negatively correlated with the violent crimes of murder, aggravated assault and robbery as well as the property crimes of motor vehicle theft, theft and burglary. Additionally, regression analyses were conducted for each crime significantly related to state IQ, controlling for significant state demographic variables."

From a progressive website :

Why Remainers shouldn’t mock Brexiteers over the lorry driver shortage

"This is the reason many low-paid workers voted for Brexit, even if Remainers do not wish to hear it. But then, perhaps they don’t want to acknowledge that they themselves are shielded from the vicissitudes at the bottom of the labour market. Britons in well-paid jobs have never had much to fear from low-skilled EU migration. The same is not true of those in low-paid occupations"

"Skeptic Research Center in February 2021 found that 54% of Americans who “identify as very liberal” believe that the average number of unarmed Black men killed annually by U.S. police is somewhere between “about 1,000” and “more than 10,000.”"

"The actual number of unarmed Black men killed by police last year was 17. Given the grave importance of this issue, it’s worth repeating that number—17—across the tens of millions of annual police-citizen interactions."

Although “economists” like Richard Wolff cite graphs showing that extreme poverty began to plummet in China during Mao Zedong’s rule, Ravallion (2021) finds no basis for this argument. In fact, he finds that the overwhelming amount of poverty in China could be attributed to Mao’s communist policies, and poverty then sharply declined following Deng Xiaoping’s free market reforms in the 90s.

“The findings underscore that SES has no uniform association with, or impact on, brain and cognition.”

Facebook Says Its Rules Apply to All. Company Documents Reveal a Secret Elite That’s Exempt.

"The program, known as “cross check” or “XCheck,” was initially intended as a quality-control measure for actions taken against high-profile accounts, including celebrities, politicians and journalists. Today, it shields millions of VIP users from the company’s normal enforcement process, the documents show. Some users are “whitelisted”—rendered immune from enforcement actions—while others are allowed to post rule-violating material pending Facebook employee reviews that often never come."
