There's some piece of shit on Reddit spewing ethnonationalism bullshit about black IQs. Showing him Cosma Shalizi's debunking of the Bell Curve isn't working because of all the big words, so I'm thinking what I'd like to do is sedate him and then have him wake up in a roomful of black physicists in a cocktail jacket with a nice drink in his hand, and let him see how the whole "human intelligence" thing really shakes out for his no-punctuation-usin all-lowercase punk ass.

@001zlnv Yeah, seriously. I made a point of digging fairly deep into the race & IQ debate, and among other things I walked away kind of astounded that we're still using the Stanford-Binet model for much of anything. It certainly doesn't seem to have ever been intended for use with adults...
