Two real-world realities that are rarely mentioned in the #BehavioralGenetics literature:

1) That various groups of people are oppressed, sometimes severely

2) That cultural influences and religious teachings exert a strong influence on human behavior

This is a parable about modern funding for science. Pander to the biases and intuitions of rich people--because wealth is increasingly unevenly divided in society, and you need rich people's money to drive research--and you can get 15 funded faculty positions.

"Harden’s failure to engage with critics of behavioral genetics, often from the political left, veers between simple omissions and outright misrepresentation."
