Steve Sailer writes: “For example, in Baltimore last year, you had black riots over a black career criminal dying at the hands of black cops in a city with a black police chief, black DA, and a black mayor, in a country with a black attorney general and a black president promoting #BlackLivesMatter.”<\/p>\n
Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n * This economist acts like the police are killing law abiding old Black church ladies and not Omar Little types from The Wire.<\/p>\n The type of Black men who are being killed by the police are not the type of men that the econonmist would want his daughter to date once she turns 18, that is if he has a daughter.<\/p>\n Secretly I don\u2019t think even Hussein Obama would want any of his daughters to date Michael Brown, if he was still alive. He would have been a bad thug influence on his daughters. He would want his daughters to date Black men who are part of the talented tenth. Significantly younger versions of Dr. Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, and Henry Louis Gates Jr.<\/p>\n * A life-long friend is an economist who heads a university MBA program. He has some books to his credit. I have noticed that he has been wrong and often backward in the most significant claims and predictions he has made in his specialty.<\/p>\n He keeps original assumptions he\u2019s had since I knew him in high school, and all the BS has been piled on top of them. If only those givens had been true\u2026<\/p>\n Nevertheless, I remain his friend \u2014 and he still gets to run a university program.<\/p>\n Anonymously, I say economics is a crock. (Excepting micro principles applied to running a business)<\/p>\n Economists remind me of stockbrokers: seldom right, but perfectly happy to put on suits and get paid for being experts. No, economists are even worse, because they also gladly write things to push political agendas.<\/p>\n * …almost all good human traits are correlated, both on an individual and group basis. Good table manners are correlated with honesty, IQ is correlated with creativity, good health is correlated with good looks, verbal IQ is correlated with math IQ. It goes on and on. A lazy social scientist could churn out 1000 studies showing one positive trait is linked to another.<\/p>\n * Can you think of any US University that has an economics department with a number of professors teaching the truth about mercantilism and \u201cfree trade\u201d? Can you think of any major US economics professors who write the same? * So basically we have an…Economics professor, Aaron Acemoglu, who has very little understanding of or respect for American or British history.<\/p>\n Yet Acemoglu has nonetheless has become famous for writing a kind of vapid \u201cVirtue Signaling\u201d brand of pseudo economics explaining all we need to know about how bad the evil West has exploited the third world and non-white races.<\/p>\n And Acemoglu having absolutely no understanding of evolution or HBD is being interview by the charlatan \u201cEvolutionary Biologist\u201d David Sloan Wilson who pushes the repeatedly discredited yet politically correct version of Human Evolution known as \u201cGroup Evolution Theory\u201d.<\/p>\n Well at least Acemoglu is an outspoken advocate of marijuana legalization on purely economic principles grounds.<\/p>\n * There\u2019s always a demand for guys like Acemoglu who can be relied on to deny that racial differences matter, or even exist. Gladwell and Jared Diamond are two others who spring to mind. How many gifted scholars have been put off doing historical\/economic\/social research because they knew their conclusions would ruin their careers if they discovered race played a part in whatever they\u2019re trying to explain? People are watching and taking notes. The SPLC includes scholars like Charles Murray, Henry Harpending and Garrett Hardin on its \u201cList of Extremists\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Steve Sailer writes: “For example, in Baltimore last year, you had black riots over a black career criminal dying at the hands of black cops in a city with a black police chief, black DA, and a black mayor, in … Continue reading
\nFor proof that free trade is an \u201cAnglo\u201d conceit and delusion just go to any strong intelligent NE Asian nation (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan etc) and see what is taught in their university economics departments. Somehow I doubt it is free trade theology-ideology and pro-immigration ideology. China\u2019s President once told GW Bush that his biggest challenge was providing 20 million new jobs each year. Such an attitude does not allow for immigration and I don\u2019t blame them.<\/p>\n
