@AcidOverride got it, will do that

Since nobody is allowed to discuss this, I put it into a cartoon.

Has anyone here read The Bell Curve?

@Jerm All good that we post your content on our own timelines while you in FB timeout?

Please share away. I really don't mind at all. I'm not precious about the stuff being on my personal timeline.

👍

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 Is it good?

It's long 😂 It's an 800-page book published in 1994 which tries to describe the class structure in American society. Mostly it argues that intelligence is a major predictor of just about everything (income, occupation, family structure, criminal activity)

Racists, eugenicists and edgelords frequently cite the parts (out of context, obviously) about the IQ differences between race groups. Most recently, there was a guy given a 5-minute interview on NPR (Jason Kessler iirc) who quoted the book.

I just got ahold of a copy and I'm scanning through it

I'm reading it because of this

The US media has lost their collective shit because NPR (public radio) gave a "platform" to this guy

The core of the freakout was when Kessler quoted some of the results from The Bell Curve. Apparently, that was enough to issue trigger warnings before the broadcast and set the media landscape on fire
