Sorry if too long. TYTY both-a YOUSE. Hope to listen to podcast today, mebbe.
SH: He I perceived in hindsight to be a kind of canary in the coal mine.
Sh: But I viewed it as morally important to do,
GL: That's a question of cause and effect, and so on. And what manner of society will we have become if not only asking the question is forbidden but defending the asking of the question is forbidden?
GL: *** You know-nothing, anti-intellectual thugs. I mean, the people who want to shut up a discussion about this question and who want to make it a sign of your decency and your legitimacy for membership in society to castigate and ostracize Charles Murray, which I am not going to do, those people are a threat to civilization, in my opinion. ***
SH: So we just simply don’t have the data on how many blondes got into Harvard last year. And nor would anyone think to have that data. We don’t want the data, nobody cares. How do we get there with respect to skin color and religion and anything else? That’s where I think I would want to be. The path open to us there is to cease to pay attention to these variables.
"Coming Apart" was also mentioned on M. DeBoer's Substack. But MAY attempt them in chronological order, IF at all. Hoping to.
As I posted before, genetics and effect on intelligence most definitely SHOULD be investigated. I don't think CRISPR should have been investigated without some group reviewing what the long-range effects of Super-Intelligence MIGHT be. Made up of, mostly, non-PhDs, IMHO. Given, human beings don't even have the mental capacity to fully understand what Super-Intelligence would actually turn out to BE.
My former mentor was BIG fan of Transhumanism but feared Super-Intelligence. THis is logically untenable. You can SAY Transhumanism is all about extending human longevity. Weeeel then.. It has the nasty SIDE-EFFECT of being path to Super-Intelligence. I've only seen the question raised once, by a non-scientists, and never seen it answered ANYWHERE. What WILL happen when some-a the population gains Super-Intelligence and the rest-a us slaves don't? Or the slaves get a lower-order form of AI or super-genes or whatever it turns out to be?
What Musk is doing at Neuralink? Should NOT be investigated until the issue of Super-Intelligence is at least LOOKED at. It progresses same as CRISPR. "It's for MEDICAL PURPOSES! SAVE people!!" Yeah, but right there on the website they answer the question if technique will be used for non-medical purposes. Just as You would KNOW it would happen. Answer: Yup, we envision it probably would be.
On the other side-a the balance scale, former-mentor says what Russia and China are CURRENTLY doing in the way of Transhumanism is horrific. Dunno. He never said and I didn't press. Should-a. But can imagine it'd be the worst. Well, actually can't imagine anything at ALL about it.
Me? Let NATO consortium do that work on AI and Transhumanism. Radical? Super-Intelligence radical DEPARTURE. Basically creating a new species of Homo s. if looked at in a certain Way. Let other countries police any country that's wants to rule the world with Super-Intelligence and Transhumanism in general.

I'm totally, completely, and ABSOLUTELY SIMPATICO with SH's view of race. Same as mine, basically. Part-raised by Black man I worked for in formative years. Long story.
Difference being that blonde's culture/experience aren't in any way SIMILAR to Black's culture/experience. Me? Aggregate data should be kept on Blacks. And mebbe blondes too. That seem far-fetched to me, but who knows.

That's just me.
Write by intuition. ALWAYS mistakes. Sheesh.
