A liberal in torment
Steve Sailer quotes the anguished reflections of William Saletan of Slate as he grapples with the issue of race and IQ. I haven’t read Saletan’s article yet, but, based on the intense conflict he expresses between his commitment to equality on one side, and the science that indicates inequality on the other, even as the science produces in him feelings of moral horror and revulsion, I feel like simply saying to the guy: If you’re running into an unresolvable contradiction, check your premises. One of them will be wrong. Come to think of it, if all libs would simply check their premises, liberalism would be gone by tomorrow!
Update: I underestimated, or rather overestimated, Saletan. He manages to find a fancy, specious way out of his dilemma. Email entry |
