Sailer calls Watson “a modern Galileo”

October 22, 2007 By admin

“People don’t hate you for being wrong. (At worst, they just ignore you; at best, as with the late  Stephen Jay Gould, they worship you and  pay you millions.) People hate you for saying  what they fear is the truth.

(…)

“As we see in this global slander of a great scientist, the conventional wisdom among the elites is that, if it turns out that some fraction of the race and sex gaps in IQ are genetic, then our civilization simply cannot survive:  Who knows what those yahoo American voters would do if they even suspected the truth? They’d probably dig up Hitler’s DNA, clone it, and elect Adolf 2.0 President of the United States!

“Thus, any academic like Watson or Summers who violates the omerta, the code of silence, must be publicly humiliated to encourage the others—as Voltaire famously quipped. Global security depends upon our relentless lying!

“So let’s step back, take a breath, and think about this calmly.

“The fundamental fact: the final word on the race-genes-IQ linkage is likely to come in the next decade or two simply as a byproduct of crucial medical research.”
