In the UK 10% today (20% tomorrow) of any institution must be at least "ethnic minority", i.e. NOT "White British" (perish the thought, if not yet the people). Nice to find some corner free from the DIE totalitarianism.

My comment for the AMA:

Why does the HBD community identify so much with the political right? Please note: I'm not saying that the political left is better. I'm simply arguing that both the "left" and the "right" have become outgrowths of the same artificial consensus. Wouldn't it be better to reach out to everyone, regardless of whether they identify as "right," "left," or "center"?

Secondary AMA Question -

Is there an IQ threshold for understanding the sorts of ideas that flow through these channels? There has been some discussion recently as to what the threshold might be for having political agency. I don't think it's possible to say exactly what the threshold is, likely because there is no threshold.

Roughly speaking, what percentage of the populace do you think is capable of reading and understanding the ideas presented?

AMA Q

What is the future for behavior genetics? Will the dogma of the blank slate be quelled or will it continue to spread as it has for the past few decades? What needs to be done in order to get people on the same page? Is societal collapse inevitable should we fail to educate the masses?

I wish someone would explain in layman's terms how regression to the mean works with respect to IQ over multiple generations. I believe it's not as simple as most people think because additive and random genetic factors both need to be taken into account.

Do you think current and projected human selection pressures, i.e. grounded in increased material wealth and the expansion of western norms globally, will positively select for sharper behavioural dimorphism resulting in more feminine women and independent men? (ps I do)

Do you have any advice for autistic people of relatively high but not extraordinary intelligence (in my case, 119)? What should verbally strong, mathematically weak people do to create maximum value and impact?
