Re: How can we set up a histronics-free discussion about potential dif
The problem is, what is "the truth"?
To some, 'The Bell Curve' was "the truth", supported by 'facts'. To others, it was a polemic, misrepresenting data. If you can get a universally agreed upon definition of "intelligence", and a universally agreed upon way to measure it, we might have the start of a discussion. |

The sad reality is very few people care about the truth, they have an idea of how they want the world to work and how the world should work and they only care about things that reinforce those views and reject or twist anything that doesn't. [/ QUOTE ] I reject this! |
