What kind of racist pseudoscience is he spreading?
Sure what would Sam Harris with his PhD in Neuroscience know about science compared to our TFK expert on all subject matter.
He gave a completely unchallenged platform to Charles Murray, who is a peddler of racist pseudoscience.
He supports racial profiling, torture of prisoners, and supports the position of European fascists.
To use his own words, “these are all facts”.
Yet our resident pseudoscience-loving racist here thinks he’s a “liberal”.
Perhaps he means in the Leo Sherlock, ahem, “understanding” of the term.
i) Earlier you referred to Berkeley, which is part of the University of California, as “a nutcase institution run by nutcases”. The institution from which this Harris chap has his PhD is also part of the University of California.
It’s quite the backtrack on your part to now place such such store in it as a source of knowledge.
ii) He has a PhD in Neuroscience. He is not a neuroscientist. Big difference.
iii) His PhD is irrelevant to what he is - a controversialist blogger and media personality, who knows there’s a lucrative market in generalising against Muslims.
iv) All sorts of people with idiotic views have PhDs. An academic qualification is no guarantee of somebody not being an idiot. I believe you claim to have an academic qualification. That’s proof enough in itself.

Vox again 
No left wing bias there whatsoever
The Vox piece is typical of the kind of misleading ideological nonsense permeating US universities. Science and scientists are concerned with evidence and the pursuit of truth, not moral or political perspectives. Far from being pseudoscience, Murray’s work is still widely accepted by experts in the field. The fact you would label it as pseudoscience simply confirms you know nothing whatever about science or the scientific method.
Hereditarianism is the best explanation we have currently for the evidence based factual difference in IQ levels between races. It is by no means settled science, but to label an honest scientist as a racist for reporting actual empirical findings is absurd. In the same studies Asians scored higher than whites, does that make Murray racist towards whites?
The fact that there are IQ differences between races is undisputed, what is in question are the causes, basically the genetics versus environmental argument. The majority of intelligence scientists agree with the hereditarianism position, which is that intelligence is at least somewhat genetic. There is nothing racist about genetic studies involving race, racism is claiming superiority of one race over another.
In short, Vox and yourself are full of shit. For anyone interested in the actual science as opposed to the screaming Marys calling everyone they disagree with a racist, this is an excellent balanced response to the Vox piece of trash.
Harris’s PhD in Neuroscience trumps your degree in journalism when it comes to debates on science.
The UC system (and public school education in general in the US) has been infiltrated with left wing nutcases, particularly in the Humanities. This is indisputable. That says nothing about the standard of education in the sciences which is universally excellent.
A failed journalist isn’t in a position to call anyone else an idiot.s
Deary me.
Yet again, the only comeback you have is to criticise the source in your own uniquely moronic way.
Yawn.
Come back to me when you’ve dealt with the points made, and perhaps done a little reading outside of your far-right echo chamber.
Merica is one fucked up place.
Fake news, fake comments.
In fairness, it was hard to argue with the passionate arguments of @TrumpFan3628249 and @MAGA6730258.
None of the 27 senators are Republicans, obviously.
Two interesting stories today.
i) Paul Manafort was, as recently as last Thursday, ghostwriting an opinion article praising himself, for a Russian chap with ties to Russian intelligence, who is known to US intelligence.
The article violates his bail agreement, which is now being reviewed. The article was to cover his “political work” in Ukraine, which resulted in the criminal charges he’'s now up on.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to do this and get caught? Just when you think the people caught up in this investigation can’t get any more stupid, they go and do it.
ii) More importantly, it is being widely reported that Trump’s bank records have been subpoenaed by the Mueller investigation.
This would be very significant because Trump has said that Mueller investigating his financial records would be a “red line”. That line looks like it has now been crossed.
Fox News and Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow are denying the story.
But the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, ABC News are all reporting the story, which originally appeared in the German publication Handelsblatt - Trump banks with Deutsche Bank. One would imagine the different media organisations have all done independent sourcing on this story.
I’ll leave it up to the reader to decide who to believe.
If the story is true, the likelihood of Trump trying to fire Mueller increases significantly.
The only actual news of the day is the growing evidence that the Mueller investigation is hopelessly compromised by political bias. Literally every cunt on the Mueller team are Obama appointees who have a deep hatred for Trump and conservatives in general. One of the team’s senor members was fired this past week for sending anti-Trump emails to a colleague (that he was shagging on the side), but only after Judical Watch forced the release of the emails. The Wall Street journal editorial board have now called for Mueller to step down.
The Quillete article you posted was very interesting, debunking and destroying the Vox shit posted by your man with the hole in his brain. Poor guy has been in meltdown mode again. The scientific findings regarding IQ are uncomfortable reading though and raise pretty thorny issues, not for the feint of heart. The age old nature v nuture dilemma. It’s tremendous having someone around who actually has a clue about science, and of course, US politics. It drives the micks here nuts, who get their news from vox, huff post, teen vogue etc.

Ah bless the poor rednecks couldn’t help themselves.
Dreadfully easy to wind up with reality.
When you live in a bubble it’s a difficult experience when it gets popped, I guess.
@anon7035031 and @Enrique, as usual, were conspicuously silent when this organisation dedicated to peddling actual fake news, and which Trump has donated to and linked to intentionally misleading videos of, was mentioned here the other day.
But that’s because, like their hero, they’re pro-fake news posters.
Flailing all over the INTERNET all day, getting your ass handed to you. Poor guy.
Why are you so shit at this, mate?
You’ve had enough practice now, and still, you’re remedial standard.
Just like in real life.
And, as ever, no response to anything on the actual topic, I note.
You wipe a relations bum for a living in real life. Then log on to the internet telling shit jokes and posting about matters you haven’t the first clue about, then go in to meltdown mode when pulled up on being clueless. Rinse, repeat 
Thanks mate, it’s encouraging to get positive feedback from a fellow free thinker. What really drives the delusional cunts mad is the thought of anyone being actually intelllectual and worse still actually successful.
@sidney will be up all night now furiously searching Vox.com.
See, there you go, proving me absolutely correct in my assertion of you.
Funny you mention the word “bum”, because that’s exactly what you are, and I do indeed wipe you, off the floor.
It’s amazing how reality winds you up so furiously. But very funny.
And still, you can’t post anything on topic.
