William Saletan, a self-described "liberal Republican," wrote in Slate this past Sunday that there are indeed genetic differences in IQ. The racial brain ranking is (1) Asians (2) Whites (3) Africans.
If that is true, there is no "and therefore..." to that result. That is, governments are not going to revive anti-
miscegenation laws or the like. There is no public policy consequence to that finding, if it is true. There is also no "private policy" consequence. Individuals should not be presumed to share their groups racial average.
The reason why there is no "and therefore..." is that intelligence does not equal goodness, nor even wisdom,
and both of those traits are far more important to the human condition than intelligence and there are no genetic tests for them. This is Public Occurrences.
