Genetic data deemed "dangerous" by ideologists

Last month, Pinker told the Edge website that "the dangerous idea of the next decade" will be the notion that "groups of people may differ genetically in their average talents and temperaments". It is all the more dangerous for being bound up with ideas about how populations vary in their susceptibility to disease.

[Science should prevail over ideology. We don't need social engineers telling us what truths are "dangerous" or taboo.]

There have been well-known and there will be more discovered differences, like I said in the lung cancer thread.

However, those facts must be interpreted carefully and never must be exploited as a basis for racism.
