Human Diversity

[MacTheKnife]

This should be required reading in all of our government's schools....which the more astute understand are little more than pushers of pc propaganda.

In Human Diversity, Charles Murray sets out to demonstrate three things: (1) There are biological reasons why men and women behave differently. (2) Human populations have evolved so many genetic differences that different groups cannot be expected to think and behave identically. (3) Increasingly, the people who are rich and influential got that way because they have biologically rooted talents and abilities, not because of unfair privilege.

Crazy talk thinking there’s a difference between sexes genders and individuals.

It sounds like a modern version of "Eugenics".

No, "Human Diversity" doesn't "sound" anything like "Eugenics." Aren't you capable of a rational discussion instead of shallow innuendo?

The forum thrives on shallow innuendos. What do you offer?

"We have all heard the expression, 'You can't generalize.' Not true. Anyone who has had more than a little exposure to other countries and nationalities knows that peoples as a whole have distinct personalities."

'The pity is that this book should not have had to be written. It is necessary only because universities and big media continue to assert that the sexes and races are identical from the neck up, and that the only reason some people do well in life is because they are undeserving darlings of the “white hetero-normative patriarchy.” Orthodoxy is firmly entrenched, and it will take more than a single book to dislodge it, but none is likely to strike a more powerful blow than Human Diversity.'

..some people who are rich are hard workers/aggressive/go getters/SMART/etc---yes they have that something ''extra'' = nothing wrong with that

There are biological reasons why men and women behave differently. (2) Human populations have evolved so many genetic differences that different groups cannot be expected to think and behave identically.

Neither (1) nor (2) supports any conclusion that any one group is entitled to claim superiority or political power. All of us exist along side each other. Everyone's vote should and must count equally as we are all entitled to self-government.

(3) Increasingly, the people who are rich and influential got that way because they have biologically rooted talents and abilities

This does not take into account the great power of inherited wealth and/or fame in our society. How many people would be working regular jobs if they had not had the good fortune of a large inheritance? Whether Trumps, DuPonts, Kochs, or Kennedys, or the like, they would all be working just like the rest of us, but for.

Murray's theories basically are irrelevant.

To what group(s) are you referring?

All I know is at the peasant level I know who to rely on. And most of it ain't the Prog way of doing things. Although there is a large Prog involvement in many of the ways of survival. Massive costs because of it. And in the end, the ones to depend on are the ones you knew were going to be before the Progs involvement.

Your naivete is touching. Any group that maintains that it is entitled to a superior place or political power in society based on biological or genetic differences.
