No the whole book is controversial. It's a political argument for dismantling the welfare state disguised as a review of science. They laundered a bunch of work by racial eugenicists along with a bunch of other junk science methodology.

- nialse 1y agoI hear you are invested in this line of thought, and that is okay. I just don’t agree with the analysis, and not with the labeling.
- breakyerself 1y agoIt doesn't rely on work by Eugenicists?
- nialse 1y agoFortunately, science does not rely on the character of its purveyors but on the quality of the evidence.
- breakyerself 1y agoThe quality of the evidence wasn't any better than the character of the purveyors. You're an apologist for bullshit.
- machomaster 1y agoCalling something "controversial" is a total non-argument. The book's science about IQ is solid. In actuality, the content of the book was simply a collection of mainstream scientific consensus ideas at that time, without specific controversial add-ons. It's only after the book was published, the book unexpectedly was attacked by proto-woke people.
- breakyerself 1y agoYeah Nazi aligned eugenicist science is totally mainstream.
- machomaster 1y agoInventing strawman out of thin air in order to drown discussion, to attack individuals and paint them evil, that's literally what Nazis did. How ironic.
