"The California press questioned Ron Unz's claim of a 214 IQ when he was running in the Republican primary against Pete Wilson. The joke, which Ron Unz knows as well as any of us, is that those tests are not tuned to measure the high range with any useful precision. It's actually humor like this that led us to believe in Physics 55 that Ron Unz was a lot smarter than the rest of us."

he's a race scientist but not a creepy racist about it. he's jewish so he's not crypto-antisemite, and he recognizes the big flynn effect for hispanics in the last 20 years. and obviously, the recent article exposing the myth of jewish hyperachievement.
xo racists and steve sailer are still on dat hurr durr messicans dumb jews ultrasmart tip

He's actually not a fan of the race realists. He points to massive swings in IQ within European populations (as well as the Mexican pop in the US) within just 10 years and argues that social factors play a much stronger role in IQ than the race realists are willing to admit.
"My own position is far less extreme, and also less conclusive than Antrosio’s sweeping appraisal. I am merely arguing that there seems overwhelming evidence against the “Strong IQ Hypothesis,” but also admitting that a “Weak IQ Hypothesis”—which suggests a much more limited genetic influence upon IQ—remains perfectly consistent with all the available evidence, whether or not it actually happens to be true.
Consider once again the telling case of Ireland—English-speaking, culturally and socio-economically West European, and located right next door to Britain, which had controlled it for many centuries. Based on Lynn’s research, there seems overwhelming evidence that the Irish IQ was nearly a full standard deviation lower than the British IQ around 1970, but has now seemingly converged, at least based on PISA results and per capita GDPs, representing a rate of change totally absurd from any genetic or plausibly biological perspective. Furthermore, this pattern of rapid convergence is supported by quite a number of intermediate IQ scores during intervening decades provided by Lynn, and is also totally consistent with the above-average IQs of (self-identified) Irish-Americans."
His barb at steve sailer and the racialists:
"Last year I published Race, IQ, and Wealth, presenting the overwhelming evidence that group IQs were far more malleable and shaped by social influences than is widely acknowledged in many quarters. The result was a lengthy and ferocious Internet debate, including an overwhelmingly negative and even hostile response to my suggestions, mostly by bloggers who had long specialized in that forbidden topic.
As the dozen or so rounds of the debate played out, some of my critics, including the most scholarly, began to acknowledge that my arguments actually had quite a bit of merit, and these “second thoughts” continued after the controversy had died down.
For example, late last year an erstwhile blogger-critic informed me that he had discovered the precise details of the huge but hotly-disputed 1972 IQ study in Ireland that I had repeatedly cited, and the methodology seemed exceptionally well-designed and sound. Therefore, I think it can not longer be seriously disputed that just forty years the population of Ireland did indeed have a mean IQ of only 87."

yeah this guy is legit brilliant and a genuinely successful person; comparing him to fucking HBD bloggers is a joke.
the key trait of HBD bloggers is a middling IQ and mediocrity in professional pursuits. see, e.g., how badly that pseudo intellectual steve sailer get pwned when he ventures out of his retarded blog to post on tyler cowen's site.
