Entry: IQ and Political Legitimacy Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/iq_and_political_legitimacy#27080 Post contents: Paul, of course we should take into account gender differences, to a point. That point being those differnces which are at the heart of the legitimacy of the family as an institution. It is not true that suppressing certain truths is inherently leftist or totalitarian. It is, instead, perhaps the most important job a functioning elite can perform. Our Constitution is a magnificant tissue of suppressed truths and noble lies. In this particular case, the "truth" of racially determined intelligence will tend to undermine all of the bourgeois institutions of the American middle class, from economics of thrift and hard work to civicly engaged volluntary associations to notions of fair play, etc., that are vital to healthy institutions across the board, from families to courts. The creation of a vast underclass which is already well underway due to the already unravelling bourgeois lie of "individual merit" (as a result of attacks from right and left) will likely lead to another shooting war.
