Entry: Neocons and the Left: Know Your Enemies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/neocons_and_the_left_know_your_enemies#2479 Post contents: We're NOT talking about "Aryans" vs. other "races" here, but about the significance of IQ testing and the recognition that personal traits such as intelligence and character are heritable. One consequence of accepting this fact must be an acknowledgment that the welfare state is a failure precisely because many of the poor are stupid and shiftless by nature. These are conditions the state can do nothing to remedy; trying to do so is a waste of the taxpayers' money. Trying to "rehabilitate" habitual criminals is, for similar reasons, a blind alley. Taking account of these points in formulating public policy is not the same as imposing crude racialist laws. People should be judged under law as individuals rather than as members of groups. However, our judgment of those individuals can and ought to be improved by the light science sheds on human nature. Would you ignore it? Sent at: 2008 05 15
