I'm looking forward to listening to the audio book. I know it will be brutally honest. I admire your courage and humility. So important for us all to have those qualities to be a decent, real human being. So hard for most people to admit their flaws, their specific flaws. Thank you for showing us it can be done and should be done.
Late Admissions by Glenn Loury didn't change my opinion of Glenn. I have been watching and listening to Glenn for a long time. The fact that he matured from being a brilliant but immature git (Australian slang) into a brilliant and decent academic is socialogically pleasing but par for the course. We like Glenn Loury, probably all the more, because he is not an innocent and as far as we know he never called for the assassination of a POTUS. We think Glenn missed one fundamental
fault in his character. He suffers from a serious case of 'black guilt'. He desperately wants to change African-American culture, in the belief that it will redress the white/black academic imbalance. It won't. Glenn is brilliant and most of us are not, so what? We make lemonade with the lemons we inherit and that is life. Advice to Glenn: Praise the God of the Universe for your good fortune, stop naval gazing, follow the 'Desiderata' and strive to be happy.
Interesting. You don't believe culture has some impact on the current disparities? Even if changing culture couldn't change intellectual capacity (I suspect it would) wouldn't it at least improve the quality of life?

I agree with you, if a culture change would improve the disparities even marginally, if would be a good thing.
Thanks for tackling that fussy reader and getting the book out.
I rather enjoy the unvarnished truth.
No can do, sorry...
