@miner49er236 @Bookbux I would recommend Plomin's "Blue Print" for a short, lucid guide to behavioral genetics. Also, if you want a more ambitious book, Judith Rich Harris's "The Nurture Assumption" is great.

@JimBond6 Good question. Plato's dialogues are more compelling than any attempt to reduce his thought to a system, but some of his later dialogues are disappointing.

@newradcentrism @StopIdeologues Have you read Hope Mirrlees? She wrote Paris: A Poem. I think it was published in 1920. It's amazingly modern. And that was a year or two before The Wasteland.

@NoahCarl90 @monitoringbias Fair point, although many of the JFK theories (e.g. Oliver Stone’s) are incredibly implausible

My first article for ISF is a review of Charles Murray's recent books on human diversity. As time reveals the cowardice of most intellectuals, Murray stands out as a colossus, courageous and lucid and vastly more charitable than his critics. https://t.co/dc2NHVZIdp

@primalpoly @prageru Reading Robert Wright's "The Moral Animal" Reading Geoffrey Miller's "The Mating Mind," and thinking, "This is the best theory of human culture that I have yet encountered" when I was 20. Then reading about human variation.

@NGrossman81 Here are links if you would like to examine for yourself: https://t.co/wHkjtjznV3 https://t.co/rfpBGw9hG8 Also, I would recommend reading Charles Murray's Facing Reality. It's a judicious overview.
