re: #60 klys

The stupidest thing is, he could have written the whole policy suggestion (using IQ as an entry requirement) without having to dive into the scientific racism bullshit. Just deal with the correlation of high IQ to job outcomes or whatever to make the suggestion. And then the discussion would have been driven about things like, what does IQ mean and how do we control for variables and do we want to be elitist along those lines, etc.

But he apparently couldn’t resist the scientific racism angle.

Dylan Matthews of the Washington Post dug up the dissertation. We owe him a debt of gratitude. Richwine didn’t bring up his hot topic in the Heritage report.
