    Hard to write a book on iq when there isn't even a scientific consensus what intelligence is. The content of The Bell Curve has been refuted by uncountable politically unbiased scientists and psychologists.

    That's not what people in the field think.

    It's cruel to pretend a person has the aptitude to achieve things when he or she doesn't.

    "people in the field"... As if you know anyone with an iq over 80.

    People would be laughing at you if they knew who I am.

    Which is what we feel about you toting you bell curve. Written around 1995.

    I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

    The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance
