Entry: IQ and Political Legitimacy Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/iq_and_political_legitimacy#27072 Post contents: Not allowing "certain truths to gain currency" is what I was referring to as quintessentially leftist and totalitarian, at least in the present age. Are we also suppose to treat gender differences as the result of social constructs in order to uphold our conservative "legitimacy"? How far do we go in bowing before the twin idols of egalitarianism and Boasian environmentalism? This of course has nothing to do with the idea of equality before the law for authorized citizens. This is a liberal principle that I can live with, up to a point, that point being where equality gets in the way of traditional gender roles or verges on equality of opportunity as a good to be promoted by the democratic administrative state.
