To Sam's argument that we should consciously blind ourselves to group differences (if they exist) in mental facilities: While well intentioned, that is a foolish and futile position. Does Sam believe that the Chinese are not going to investigate the genetic determinates of intelligence, unconstrained by his racial sensitivities? That seems about as likely to me as the snowball's chance of escaping hell. And are science and policy going to be in a better place if the Chinese are the thought leaders who have mastered the science? I think not. Willful ignorance is not going to be helpful. Let's try to understand reality, not hide from it. That ain't going to work.
The Cheerland-Watson Center in Shenzhen perhaps answers the first question. A 180-acre state-of-the-art research facility in China -- named after the Nobel prize-winning American who was cancelled in his own country.
Meanwhile, here in the good ol' USA, we're woke-splainin' how a man can jump into a swimming pool and magically transform into a woman.
