I disagree with the first sentence, in particular "at all." Companies take risks because they seek profits. If their profits are not sufficient, they must take risks. If their profits are sufficient and they are risk adverse, they

I've heard the argument that even if there is a reliable measure of IQ and there is a measurable difference between groups of people, that knowledge only harms people and doesn't do any good, so we shouldn't pursue it anyways
