So you think that if we don't promote science that studies the heritability of intelligence as it pertains to race, it will lead to genocide?

I can't prove it empirically but evidence suggests Noah Carl is trash; cultural items, ideas, or objects of poor quality. Note, there is nothing in the science that rules this out. But it is clear Noah Carl has a keen interest in race IQ science. But take a look at his cv (https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/204775...) that's not all he is interested in.

Hmmm, I wonder why it's so important to Noah to establish a heritable basis for IQ. It's hard to look at Carl's work in good faith and not see that he might not be the best voice on the historically troubled subject of the heritability of IQ and race.

I feel it irresponsible to investigate the topic without a sense of caution. It's hard to understate how horrifying the effects of scientific racism have been in the past century alone. Based on his viewpoint and lack of attention to environment factors, it seems likely Carl is trying to weaponize the topic against other groups of people. IQ science is barely ready to be used in the policy arena. Heritable differences between races can be an interesting topic. But the people, like Carl, who are constantly drawn to the heritability of IQ between races have to be viewed with a high degree of suspicion.
