conservatives are simply progressives that are driving at the speed limit. at least in the US, and i suspect abroad, the conservative political machine and those operating it has caved in on every social and economic issue that they give lip-service to for a period of time.
political whores that stood against gay marriage as a socially conservative stance absolutely trip over themselves to distance from that fact, if they're still in politics. aparatchniks that decried deficit spending and ballooning of the national debt on conservative grounds now vote unanimously for unheard of spending bills. conservatives that proudly support the craven NRA and claim to stand for second amendment rights won't even give lip-service to repealing the NFA or similar bills; after all, its just not common sense!
The conserve the kosher sandwich funneling off the energy of any grassroots "right" wing sentiment that could endanger Neo-liberalism.
Why does it matter if whites score lower on IQ tests than other races? The topic of IQ score and IQ disparity between races have been a major theme here.
The main question I have is what is the significance of whites scoring lower on IQ tests than other races? What does it mean? What point is anyone trying to make with this?
Firstly, assuming that IQ is a valid measure of intelligence (whatever that is), why is an IQ gap between different ethnic groups or whatever so special or important? Why is the fact that asians have high IQs more special than the fact that whites have a higher average height than some other races? Why is there so much value being placed in the type of intelligence that IQ scores measure? What is making this IQ intelligence more significant than other traits people have? Why has there so much study and research on IQ, but very little for some type of measurement score for personality or physical health? Why do people brag about IQ scores but nobody brags about some hypothetical Physical quotient that measures how physically healthy and strong and athletic and agile a person is? Why is there controversy about the racial breakdowns of Noble Prize winners but none for the racial breakdown of Olympic gold medalists or professional athletes? Why is the worth of people or groups being determined by what they score on a mental test and little else?
This whole IQ thing seems to be pseudo-intellectuals from their ivory towers determining the worth of others with the ones deemed inferior not being allowed to determine what's best for them because their brains aren't big enough or whatever. I honestly don't put much stock in the IQ concept, nor do I believe the American racial system means anything on a scientific level, but I see this IQ crap get circulated often enough that I decided to rant about it.
