Derbyshire on Science v. Social Policy

Interesting piece by John Derbyshire about the possibility of innate racial differences in intelligence.

One thing that I noticed about the "great race debate" is that there has so far been very fw systematic attempts to determine what to do about it if it turns out that intelligence does vary between people of different races; that is, how ought our social policies be formed if that is the case.

Steve Sailer has touched on it here and there, but I am not certain if anyone has really made an attempt to get a large-scale picture of what policies ought to be in place if equality in all faculties is not attainable?

Well I am certain that a lot of white nationalists, supremacists, and separatists have, but has anyone come up with policy ideas that do not involve apartheid or ethnic cleansing, or that do not use IQ as an excuse to do nothing at all?

I will try to post some more thoughts on this later.

That is all.
