Scientific Arguments

Linda Gottfredson steps into the arena against Flynn, Ceci, and Turkheimer

This concerns more on the Race and IQ argument that put a Nobel prize winning author out to pasture. What I particularly love is the following quote that Linda provides from Ceci.

I am fortunate that these are my views because they are politically correct and garner me praise, speaking and writing invitations, and book adoptions at the same time those who disagree with me are demeaned, ostracized, and in some cases threatened with tenure revocation even though their science is as reasonable as mine¦.I can tell my side far more easily than they are permitted to tell theirs.

Yeah, that’s “pure science” for you. It’s from people like this that bring you Global Warming.

What is always amusing is that those that seem to worship at the altar of science are the first ones to be politically correct about it.
