Who's mans is this?

I just used the DNA link between race and intelligence as an example of moralistic fallacy in my philosophy class and I think the kid sitting next to me nearly had a stroke
@Sam Anderson Yeah, I might vote for him too. So far he's seems to be the only candidate with new and interesting ideas and policies.
Will this topic be discussed at the conference? I understand that it's controversial, but I feel like we need to discuss spreadsheets
Whoah, it is so bizarre to see Mr. Taylor without grey hair
