This recent article, â€œThe Mythical Taboo on Race and Intelligence,â€ sets us all straight. There have been â€œextensive publications, citations, and discussions... Read More

Let's talk about race, but let's focus on the thorniest issue of all: Race and IQ. Can you summarize the issue so that readers understand what we're talking about and explain why it is such a prickly topic?

I recently found myself at the annual conference of ISIR, the International Society for Intelligence Research.

â€œGovernmentâ€™s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases,â€ said President Ronald Reagan. â€œIf it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.â€ Republicans can take unpopular stands in defense of sound economic principles. For example, more than 60 percent of all... Read More

This is adapted from remarks given at the 18th American Renaissance conference on November 13, 2021. Even before I begin, I imagine most of you have probably sensed at one time or another that envy does play such a role in race relations. Many writers have alluded to it in passing, but I have never... Read More

Taking the Fun Out of Being 'Progressive'

The evidence that genes influence intelligence and other personality traits is so overwhelming that even a few lefties no longer deny it. But, oh, how they agonize over how to reconcile science with the religion of equality. How do you justify massive social intervention when the people you are trying to help might not be... Read More

A staple of the columnistâ€™s life is mail embodying a weird obsession with Jews. It is a versatile obsession, suitable for any occasion.

See, earlier, by Steve Sailer: The Race FAQ Crossposted from Amren.com Americans canâ€™t stop talking about race and racism. Why? Because black people donâ€™t do as well as white people. They are poorer, more likely to be in jail, they are fatter, more likely to have illegitimate children, and the black part of town is... Read More

If you belong to the fast-dwindling demographic that believes in objective truth, you will like Charles Murray's new book, pub date June 15: Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America. Murray writes two distinctly different kinds of book, long and short. In the long books (most recently Human Diversity) Murray gives full rein to... Read More

What kind of a person would tell white American children that they were, to some extent, justified in burning down the neighborhood stores that might one day employ them?

Charles Murray, a sociologist by background and a datanaut by inclination, has carved out a prominent place in American intellectual debate by the simple expedient of writing clearly about difficult subjects.

A storm, methinks, is just over the horizon: The genetics of intelligence, perhaps of behavior. Geneticists know that intelligence is largely genetic. They know better than to say so. But research advances rapidly. Laboratories close in on the responsible genes. Things like genomic-sequence correlation proceed apace. Within ten or fifteen years, I will guess, the... Read More

Medieval, a finishing school for the British aristocracy, site of numerous vital discoveries (IVF, the structure of DNA), you donâ€™t get much more prestigious than Britainâ€™s University of Cambridge.

All educated people know that, although Darwinâ€™s Theory of Evolution explains intelligence differences between sub-species in all other animals, this CANNOT BE THE CASE WITH HUMANS. Psychologists can research whatever they likeâ€¦BUT NOT THAT! OK? If psychologists do research human intelligence, then their conferences must be picketed or, better still, shut down.
