I’m going to take blame for it either way, but that doesn’t sound like something I posted. I only defended Sam Harris’ and Bill Maher’s rights to interview Murray and not be pilloried for it.

I have never found Murray particularly convincing because he seems very weak on the clinical science regarding intelligence. He seems to think data sets about groups trump the hard science. He’s an anthropologist. He goes in the bucket of necessarily dubious intellects, along with economists and most historians.
