Know I'm stating the obvious but the spiteful Guardian mutant failed to list a single shred of evidence against anything you have ever said in his inane article. All he did was cite (and I use this term as lightly as possible) "experts" who resorted to emotional fact-free namecalling and screaming "HERETC!!!".
Just out of curiosity, I followed that link to Steve's UPI article on Annika Sorenstam golfing with the guys at the 2003 Colonial. Based on some very noticing-intensive analysis of Sorenstam's physical stature and golf stats, Steve predicted she'd miss the cut by four strokes.
And -- that was *exactly* right.
Annika shot 71-74 on a par-70 course, thereby acquitting herself reasonably well, but showing that she wasn't likely to be able to compete with men over the long haul.
In pro golf, you only get paid if you are in the top half players (about 75) after the first two rounds. At her peak, she'd probably have made 5 or 10 cuts per year, which might have been enough to pay her travel expenses.
Maybe Pinker is trying to help equip us for the inevitability that he warned about back in 2006: “[The] power to uncover genetic and evolutionary roots of group differences in psychological traits is both more likely to materialize and more incendiary in its consequences. And it is a prospect that we are, intellectually and emotionally, very poorly equipped to confront.” https://newrepublic.com/article/77727/groups-and-genes
Thanks Steve for your efforts over the last 30? years. The realization of the true nature of racial differences will not be mainstream in my lifetime (I’m a healthy 73) but maybe in my kids’.
Your gentle, persistent efforts to present facts in a logical way is whittling away the stupidity of the current “good” mainstream. The tide is turning.
Otherwise, the weighted majority of US States as represented by the electoral college wouldn't have voted for Donald. The underlying question is whether the nation can return to a merit-based discourse. Even if there is an inherited component.
> Pinker expressed agreement with claims made by Charles Murray, the author of "The Bell Curve"
> When Carl cited “evidence collected by sociologists like Charles Murray suggesting that part of the family breakdown in some communities in America seems to be attributable to the state taking over the traditional function of the father”, Pinker responded: “I think that is a problem.” He added: “It is a huge class-differentiate he d phenomenon, as Murray and others write it out.”
As The Guardian's few educated centrist readers realize, Jason Wilson is engaging in misdirection. Murray's exploration of family breakdown isn't "The Bell Curve" (1994), but rather "Coming Apart" (2012). Murray noted that he limited his analysis to white families and communities ('Belmont' and 'Fishtown') to avoid the confounding effects of race.
But Antifa's apologists aren't fooled by such tricks.
“Hope Not Hate” sounds like a high school club, obviously super serious people, guys!
I am not naive enough to think this is a new phenomenon but if you are going to set up an organization whose sole purpose is to provide talking points and quotes for agenda journalism, you ought to have a decent name. That’s part of the SPLC’s attraction, it sounds like a legit outfit, same with the ADL.

Steve you should be invited to the Player Haters' Ball!

If it makes you feel better, I guess we are all guilty by association now.
I enjoyed the new video.
I'm gonna go and wash the spittle off my face now...
Anyone who is called racist and a right wing conspiracy theorist by the SPLC and the Guardian is a friend of mine.

Nice work for a monster, Steve.

They've clearly shown by repeated name-calling that you and Pinker are racist, bad people!
And if you can't trust Antifa-adjacent* Jason Wilson writing in The Guardian, who can you trust?
* As mostly peaceful LA rioters with "PRESS" stenciled on their helmets remind me, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I saw this article about Pinker and was going to suggest it. But you spotted it too.
Pretty predictable from the Guardian.
It's on par with what we know about the Collapse of the West, see e.g. https://emmanueltodd.substack.com/p/from-russia-with-love

No. 3 comment at the iSteve post about Gladwell and QBs:

Pinker cites Sailer! Maybe he reads HBD Books, VDare and American Renaissance too. That would be cool."
Reads like Shakespeare to me! (this was Hanananaia's alias)

This guy has an interesting way of charting data similar to Steve's homicide stats. It shows the difference in population size.

These journalists need to spend 10,000 hours in a diverse community.
Wilson's and other progressives' reasoning revealed: My friends and I disapprove of this so it must be false.
