6. Brad DeLong on Alan Reynolds, I hope to write more on this.
Not so much me on Alan Reynolds, but rather Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez writing six years ago in an anticipatory rebuttal of Reynolds’s claim that it’s overwhelmingly tax shifting…
The NYTimes wrote something acknowledging the existence of IQ? Did they consult Howard Gardner first to make sure that no feelings were hurt, or self-esteem damaged?
Perhaps iodine deficient people are merely gifted in other, more non-traditional areas.
The brave, brave, BRAVE Sailer. Always mentioning the unmentionable…always
saying the TRUTH when others are too afraid of the scary PC police.
enough with the self-promotion already…Other people do talk about IQ. They
are just not as obsessed with it and its relation of to other variables as you are.

“enough with the self-promotion already…Other people do talk about IQ. They

Audio clips with the posts would be cool. Things like this above could have an alley-cat’s meow like whine and hiss to go with it.
And besides, other people were not the subject; the NYTimes was, and they as a group, do not normally print such insensitive things as anything having to do with IQ.
Sailer makes the point, overall anyway, that for the average IQ to improve – in a third world country or a low rent neighborhood – the subject needs to be discussed honestly. This the mainstream media, of which the Times is a part, has not only refused to do, but they’ve actually engaged in a dishonest presentation of the topic which only adds to the overall problem.
I have a high IQ and no one has ever extracted it for commercial gain.

We can take it from all this dredging up of old material that Prof DeLong is unable to refute Reynolds’ article.
