QotD: Too many sadly undereducated and ill-read former libertarians
" 'I used to believe in human liberty. But now I realise IQ is the one true faith.' ~ said by so many sadly undereducated and ill-read former libertarians." ~ Jeffrey Tucker.
I simply don't understand the idea that differing IQ amongst races or cultures has political implications. Even comparing the lowest IQ to the highest IQ person on earth, the difference between them is minor compared to the difference between a man and any other animal on earth. If man's mind (whatever an individuals particular strengths or limitations) is his defining attribute, a political system that allows a genius to thrive is the same political system that allows a low IQ person to thrive. It's like claiming that a difference between a Holden and a Ferrari in performance mean a completely different science of motor mechanics is required to understand each.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
