If Murray can shine a small light of scientific inquiry into topics that leftists would prefer to leave obscured, he is doing what little can be done.

There’s a difference of about 40 IQ points, but the core concept is the same.

Where National Review was all about radical Marxist notions in the guise of (fun-house-mirror) golden age Americanism lifted straight from the works of Ayn “Crazy Eyes” Rand, Turning Point USA is nakedly about anal sex, endless wars, tattoos, and free market obesity.

This is the face of American conservatism: https://i.postimg.cc/jjmcDgj8/lady-maga.png

Your observations can be summarized thus: What have Conservatives conserved? Nothing! They are further left than 60s liberals.

Sun, 29 Dec 2019 03:11:43 +0000 https://www.isegoria.net/?p=45944#comment-3024779 I used to read Sowell. Sowell once said that the reason Black people are violent is because they were raised in White Southern culture which was violent. That’s when I quit reading Sowell and haven’t read a word of his since.

I used to read stuff like National Review until one day I just realized it was all bunch of mindless nonsense meant to fill our minds up with busy body notions that had nothing to do with the real problems in the country and that none of their solutions would make any difference at all in the big scheme of things.

I ask: if a tenured academic likes it, can it be good?

I tend to distantly recall a book by Sowell many moons back that outlined how due to the imposition of segregation that all levels of black society lived together, doctors with janitors. That its removal meant that the rich flocked to more upper middle areas leaving the once thriving communities to deteriorate. That wedlock, bastardisation, single families, dropouts and crime followed. Average levels of IQ is not all.
