Entry: Neocons and the Left: Know Your Enemies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/neocons_and_the_left_know_your_enemies#2471 Post contents: Thank you, Mr Higdon, for an even-handed comment after a wave of bile, and for noticing that we just endured a whole bunch of ranting against ideas Paul did not raise. I think the question is, simply, whether we are to behave like some of the previous commenters, running and screaming "racialism!" whenever the idea of genetic endowment is mentioned. The other option would be to carefully assess whether or not the information under review is in fact worthwhile information, whether it is usable, in what sense, and so on, with all due scrutiny paid to the problems of interuterine genetic testing, and any other potential problem. Kevin, I'll thank you for noticing that I never suggested that defeating reverse discrimination or building a humane economy "requires" the sort of interest in biology we're considering. In fact, I never suggested that it be a requirement for anyone. Sent at: 2008 05 15
