“An Arthurian Romance”, 2003 ():
[This chapter provides Rosalind Arden’s point of view on the intelligence theory of Arthur Jensen.
The chapter emphasizes that the subject of intelligence is acutely relevant to the modern world with its magnified cognitive complexity; the science is crucial if one has to escape from serial failure in social policy. As for the man, Arthur chooses science over personal popularity.
The chapter illustrates Arthur’s suggestion that genes could contribute to Black/White differences in average intelligence, is supported by massive amounts of data and by a strong consensus among the silent, scientific majority of psychometricians.
The chapter concludes that scientific community is slavish and pusillanimous when it comes to intelligence research. One should welcome any proper scientific insights that increase the effectiveness with which one can make good social policy. Instead, people grovel in scientific self-abasement, fearing that one will lose claim to moral rectitude if one acknowledges the subtle and minor differences between race.]
