(2017) but definitely topical given the overall political context. And the format Murray has chosen for his critique of the SPLC is quite compelling, as well.

One is not supposed to inquire about the existence of racial differences in intelligence to preserve social peace. But IQ does imperfectly predict earnings, the chance of being incarcerated, and other important outcomes. If all racial differences in outcomes are assumed to be due to incorrigible white racism, as is the current intellectual fashion, that is arguably more likely to cause unrest.

And unrest is being caused, actively, because we are unable to come to grips with an inconvenient reality and work to actually address issues - instead, we have doubled down on the "systemic bias" reasoning and there doesn't seem to be any hope that it will let up.

At this point, alternative media organizations are required in order to give all of the cancelled people somewhere to make the case for a peaceful, productive way forward that leads us back to a standpoint where consistency with observed reality becomes possible again.
