It's difficult to take any of that information seriously.
For you, perhaps, but others have a different view.
There is an obvious political axe to grind from start to finish.
I prefer to consider the facts presented and draw logical conclusions based on the data offered. I would rather avoid the political and emotional components of the intelligence debate.
I have read both sides of the argument for years. The arguments made by Murray, Herrnstein, Levin, Jensen, Rushton, Gottfredson, et al., are very compelling in terms of their explanations of what I have witnessed in the world around me for decades. Others share a similar perspective.
In contrast, those who argue their positions in favor of intellectual equality often resort to vile name-calling and charges of racism without presenting many, if any, facts supported by empirical data.
Regarding the book you cited, as well as the Flynn Effect, I have read the former and I am quite familiar with the assertions implied by the latter.
