The paradox of intolerance suggests we should (if all else fails) suppress those whose seek to suppress others.
How is that relevant? Is Lasker seeking to (let alone succeeding at) suppressing voices that disagree with his own?
He might not engage with his critics (e.g. David Bessis) but AFAICT he's not doing anything to suppress them.

- terminalshort 9mo agoSo if I understand correctly, your argument is: 1. This research may prove that there are significant intelligence differences by race. 2. Public knowledge of this fact could lead to discrimination on an individual level based on group membership. 3. This is bad for society. 4. Therefore we should not conduct research down this path.

Racists want to coninue to do #1 despite never demonstrating real impacts on Society. I mean, go on king, collect your own data on Phrenology, but don't get mad if the rest of us don't give you our head measurements.
