    Ah we are at the race science, no HBD, no scientific racism, euh racialism period of Eugenics.

    (I could have also done this with AI).

    “it is non-coercive” Guess they are not even watching Gattaca anymore.

      They are now starting to get favorably cited on the EA Forum too:

      Lynn and Vanhanen collected IQ scores from various studies and made corrections, such as adjusting for the FLynn Effect, , to produce their national estimates.

      When a commenter cites a wikipedia page which shows that Lynn is 1) a self-described scientific racist who systematically picked datasets which gave black people lower IQ, and 2) It’s called the Flynn effect, not the FLynn effect, since Lynn didn’t discover it, he responds

      A side point, but Wikipedia is politically biased. I intentionally capitalized the L to give credit as Richard Lynn’s discovery preceeded Flynn’s first publication. Although, his discovery was preceeded by Runquist.
