> we don't let the target of their lies speak anywhere Speaking of "lies": not inviting him to a private event != not letting him speak "anywhere". (Furthermore, this response came 9 minutes after mine, and carries a quote I immediately edited and cited evidence for. While fuming about the Lambdaconf sponsor author's attempt to "hurt" Neil Degrasse Tyson, I was momentarily careless.) > signed this scientific consensus about the bell curve If you'll excuse me, I do not have any interest in debating The Bell Curve (I believe about race & IQ?) with people who rapidly show up to support obvious racists and write stuff like: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10945507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10945507)

So, you're refusing to discuss their claim, on the grounds that they previously made claims that you would also refuse discuss? Now this is a fun little recursion puzzle.

  Why? It's a non-sequitur. Neil Degrasse Tyson said "the natural world". IQ tests are fleeting human-made constructs which have nothing to do with laws of the universe. And to talk of "scientific consensus" regarding social pseudo-science... The whole point is to attack Blacks using techniques of so-called "scientific racism". (And not discussing racist pseudo-science is merely protection of your own intelligence. My brief neglect to cite evidence warned me that exposure to low standards made my own slip! :)

    Your account has also taken a wrong turn into using this site exclusively for ideological ranting. We haven't banned you because I don't think you're doing it on purpose, but please stop doing it. It's really tedious. The enemies who blast this stuff at each other resemble no one so much as each other. Meanwhile the rest of us just want to get away from it. It isn't productive, and it spoils HN for things that are actually interesting, which spoils its whole purpose.
