No joke. I really hope that these remarks insisting that blacks are less intelligent than whites are proof that his mind is going. The alternative is too vile to contemplate.

True enough, I suspect. And though I would regard it as a rather futile area of scientific endeavour, I accept that there are plenty of areas of research that are only interesting and valuable to a handful of people. More important considerations are that a) there is probably only a small area of mismatch between the bell-curves, and b) most importantly of all, biology is not destiny.

Knowledge is neither good nor evil, but takes its character from how it is used.
