if you're new to this, A Troublesome Inheritance is a pretty good introduction to race science and a pretty easy read

2019-02-21 22:55:04 UTC  

it's not that long of a book, so it should be cheap

2019-02-21 22:55:23 UTC  

the guy who wrote it is actually a liberal, but most of the science is pretty solid

2019-02-21 22:55:54 UTC  

and AmRen has a review of the book that I think summarizes fairly well what the author missed

2019-02-21 23:05:11 UTC  

@Jacob I’m finishing up Johnson’s Manifesto. He mentions IE as a pillar of effective white advocacy. All in all, a lot of the book feels like WN 1.0, but it was a good / quick read.

2019-02-21 23:09:54 UTC  

I think it might feel like 1.0 because a lot of the stuff he discusses isn't really stuff that we generally lead in with

2019-02-21 23:10:01 UTC  

Though it's stuff we do need answers to

2019-02-21 23:11:09 UTC  

Ok cool I have heard of that one as well @Jacob, I have been eying some on race science. Does the Bell Curve fall into that category? Also I saw one called Race: The Realities of Human Differences

2019-02-21 23:11:33 UTC  

The Bell Curve is more of a general book on IQ

2019-02-21 23:11:50 UTC  

Which is still a useful topic to know about, but I personally think that's it's something we focus on too much

2019-02-21 23:12:42 UTC  

It's also extremely long. I don't know if anyone actually reads it front to back. I think your time will be better spent on books that are shorter and have more relevant information.

2019-02-21 23:13:17 UTC  

I haven't heard of that second book, but Iooked it up and it sounds interesting

2019-02-21 23:13:36 UTC  

Troublesome Inheritance is probably the first one anyone should read on race science

2019-02-21 23:13:53 UTC  

I heard that Why Race Matters by Mike Levin is good, but it's very deep

2019-02-21 23:14:08 UTC  

There's also Race, Evolution and Behavior

2019-02-21 23:14:27 UTC  

10,000 Year Explosion is one I've heard recommended a lot that is related to race science

2019-02-21 23:14:52 UTC  

It's actually on our "official" reading list

2019-02-21 23:15:53 UTC  

Cool thanks for all the options yeah I think a couple of the shorter ones would be better diving into before I hit bell curve. I think I’ll read the WNM and then a troublesome inheritance

2019-02-21 23:16:52 UTC  

That sounds like a good plan

2019-02-21 23:17:09 UTC  

Thanks for the help man

2019-02-21 23:18:59 UTC  

Of course. We like having more activity in the server, so come by if you have more questions or if there's just something interesting you read and wanna comment on.

2019-02-21 23:20:12 UTC  

Yeah for sure I’ll keep it in mind and hop back in here!

2019-02-22 14:46:26 UTC  

Definitely make sure you read the 10,000 Year Explosion.

2019-02-22 14:47:18 UTC  

Why Race Matters was good.

2019-02-22 17:35:07 UTC  

I’ll definitely do that

2019-02-22 18:06:50 UTC  

2019-02-23 19:01:43 UTC  

All set. Welcome! @Hans Fassbinder

2019-02-23 19:09:11 UTC  

Great to be here

2019-02-24 04:32:17 UTC  

When will you begin reading your next book? Lewis & Clark grabs my attention obviously since part of my heritage.

2019-02-24 04:37:44 UTC  

We will decide scheduling after Sunday 3/3, when members are required have it purchased and possessed.

2019-02-25 05:36:37 UTC  

Ok thanks!

2019-02-25 15:35:04 UTC  

I bought the book and started reading. Can someone familiar with the book answer a question? There seems to be a redundancy in entries by Clark. The same entry is repeated at least twice. Is this the case throughout the book? Why is the book setup this way?

2019-02-25 23:16:23 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ I have a rare version of the De Voto edition - it was not set up this way. I just purchased the paperback version so I can mark it for note taking. I will let you know if it is laid out this way, but I think it's more likely your version may be flawed.

2019-02-25 23:28:29 UTC  

@CarletonJ I bought it via the link. On Amazon. Kindle version.

2019-02-25 23:29:46 UTC  

That's odd. I purchased the physical copy. It's not here yet. Hopefully the kindle version is just redundant and not missing information.

2019-02-25 23:34:16 UTC  

@CarletonJ Here’s a for instance. Most passages have two or three entries. Earlier ones look like shorthand?

2019-02-26 16:06:33 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ I referenced my copy - this is not laid out in this way. It only had one entry. The kindle version may be flawed. If you continue to have this issue - DM me and I will send you a legitimate copy.

2019-02-26 16:07:01 UTC  

I can also fill in the blanks to whatever you're missing if this would help

2019-02-26 16:15:51 UTC  

@CarletonJ I’m going to keep reading for a bit to see if things smooth out 👍
