The Inequality Taboo

"Le élite occidentali vivono nella menzogna, basando il futuro delle loro società sul presupposto che tutti i gruppi di persone siano uguali, sotto ogni punto di vista". Se non sapete chi è Charles Murray, l'autore di Losing Ground, The Bell Curve e (più recentemente) Human Accomplishment, sono fatti vostri. Ma se non leggete il suo ultimo (lungo) saggio pubblicato su Commentary, siete dei pazzi. Analisi, commenti (ed estratti) da Andrew Sullivan, Gene Expression, NoSpeedBumps, Armed and Dangerous, Instapundit, Parapundit, Spartacus, Steven Donohue, Steve Sailer, I Ectomorph, The Citizen Journal, Old Right, Tjic, Sweet and Sour, Mahalanobis, Dustbury, Random Thoughts, Begging to Differ, Kaiser, Mads Kvalsvik e Nozick (in finlandese!). Intanto, a sinistra, le reazioni sono sempre le stesse: insulti e antiquariato.

"Elites throughout the West are living a lie, basing the futures of their societies on the assumption that all groups of people are equal in all respects". If you don't know who Charles Murray is, the author of Losing Ground, The Bell Curve and (more recently) Human Accomplishment, it's your own business. But if you don't read his last (long) essay published on Commentary, you're just nuts. Analysis, comments (and abstracts) by Andrew Sullivan, Gene Expression, NoSpeedBumps, Armed and Dangerous, Instapundit, Parapundit, Spartacus, Steven Donohue, Steve Sailer, I Ectomorph, The Citizen Journal, Old Right, Tjic, Sweet and Sour, Mahalanobis, Dustbury, Random Thoughts, Begging to Differ, Kaiser, Mads Kvalsvik and Nozick (in finnish!). In the meanwhile, on the left coast, reactions are always the same: insults and old stuff.
