If boys are faster than elite female athletes, should males compete in female athletics?
See how the best high school boys stack up against the best female Olympians and World Record holders in Track & Field and Swimming.

Rebuttal to the popular claim that personality is a better predictor of life outcomes than intelligence
"We found that for educational attainment the average R2 of intelligence was .232 whereas for personality it was .053. For GPA it was .229 and .024, respectively and for pay it was .080 and .040, respectively."

Twin study finds that roughly two thirds of the association between an adolescent being bullied and their risk of attempting suicide is explained by genetics and psychological problems that existed prior to them being bullied as a teen.

Highly Heritable and Functionally Relevant Breed Differences in Dog Behavior
"We integrated behavioral data from more than 17,000 dogs from 101 breeds with breed-averaged genotypic data (N = 5,697 dogs) from over 100,000 loci in the dog genome. Across 14 traits, we found that breed differences in behavior are highly heritable."

So, Kevin Bird is so committed to the idea that there cannot be genetic race differences in intelligence that he will get someone fired for arguing that there are— for disagreeing with the views in his paper.
People like Bird are leading us to a new academic Dark Age in which an ersatz religion has invaded even the hard sciences. It’s hard to say what will ultimately happen. But, as I have noted, the last time universities—specifically English universities—got taken over by religious fanatics (as they always do because anything prestigious attracts the power-hungry who prize status over truth), the result was that universities went into decline. They became nothing more than finishing schools for the upper class; with “academia” moving elsewhere, either to gentleman scholars or foreign universities. Oxford and Cambridge only regained their academic prestige in the nineteenth century, when they reformed to be more like their scientific competitors.
Kirkegaard is an example of the migration of genuine truth-seeking out of Western universities (he’s an independent scholar). Bird epitomizes why that movement has had to take place.
So whose math and technical choices would you trust? It’s no-brainer…a no-Bird Brainer.

Professional and academic standards require the embrace of “health equity.”
In Marx and Engels’s understanding, racial disparities emerged under the influence of shared natural and social conditions hardening into heredity and of the mixing of blood. They racialized skin-colour groups, ethnicities, nations and social classes, while endowing them with innate superior and inferior character traits. They regarded race as part of humanity’s natural conditions, upon which the production system rested.
