Entry: Postmodern, Not Hypermodern: Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/postmodern_not_hypermodern_russell_kirk#14608 Post contents: "Notice the relentless attempt to divided white Catholics from white Protestants no matter the subject of the posting (this is no different from infiltrating the Asian-centric Model Minority forum and aggravating fault lines between, say, Koreans and Japanese: divide & conquer). Notice the omnipresent Marxism underlying Capp/Cundiff’s arguments. Notice the classic Soviet style debating techniques: the bigger the lie, the better". Spot on Roger, and you could add a couple more to your list of divisive posters and commentators. Most of this religious superstition/drivel belongs in the 16th century and has no place on a modern political web site. "Is it that hard to accept that just maybe human beings cannot be summed up in a single, solitary, all-encompassing ideological principle—whether Chromosomes or Culture?" GS your politically correct comment may appear valid to the naive, unfortunately for you, scientific research is continually reinforcing the primacy of genes. For example, the extensive studies on identical twins who have been raised from childhood in different environments have shown repeatedly that genes and not environment are dominant in determining personal abilities. "But no cultural traits or intellectual achievements can be tranced to genetics, and certainly not to “race”, a category about as important as eye color." Sid, as I am pretty sure you know, the above comment is drivel. There have been a host of studies demonstrating significant differences in IQ between human races. Indeed, significant progress has now been made in identifying genes in mice that determine differences in memory retention etc. A simple Google search would reveal such information. As noted by Roger, I suspect that you are a disinformation agent. Sent at: 2008 07 09
