As long as there is demand for a "safe" explanation for The Gap, an immense amount of spurious research will be funded and lauded.

- elefanten 5y agoThere are multiple performance and outcome gaps that are unequivocal in research across multiple disciplines. There lots of debate about what causes them. None of them necessarily imply anything permanent/immutable about any group. Plugging your ears and crying ethical foul impoverishes the discussion and all it’s observers. You could instead add real arguments to the debate. That enriches the discussion.
- seventytwo 5y agoI agree with you 100% that more research is needed, but the person above me seemingly doesn’t, or they wouldn’t have made such a dismissive comment implying funding should be cut because the “true” answer is already known. Don’t get mad at me for calling that person out. I’m the one who wants more research - they apparently already know the answer.
