"On the question of genetics and behavior, the egalitarians and the liberal media have tightly controlled public discourse, so for decades, only their side has been presented to the public. Is it any wonder the public accepts what they say uncritically? Itâs certainly not anyoneâs fault for believing it. If I didnât happen to study and do research on IQ, Iâd probably believe it, too. But then maybe someday, I might think to myself, âWhy not just see what the other side has to say?â Many, many people are incapable of doing this, because theyâre terrified the other side might be right, and to discover that theyâve been completely wrong would be such a jolt to their psyches they might never recover. Anyway, just imagine I summoned up the courage to venture into forbidden territory â I might read one really good book, such as The Bell Curve, by Herrnstein and Murray. Iâd think to myself, âGee, what a totally different world this is! Itâs not a pretentious piece of propaganda like Gouldâs The Mismeasure of Man â itâs down-to-earth, clearly stated, interesting, even engrossing. Hmmm . . . kind of exciting!â"
