From what I read when the Bell Curve came out, Murray's science was quite dubious. None of it was peer reviewed or published through regular scientific channels. He's now safely ensconced at that paragon of scientific rigor and objective research, AEI. As for talking and arguing about it, what do you want to talk and argue about? Murray's main claim seems to be that our class structure, along with everything else, is correlated with intelligence. Sort of a neo-social darwinism. It's all so very meritocratic. I'm sure that's quite reassuring to the billionaire boys club and all the other budding plutocrats out there doing their level best to suppress the vote this election. Since they're on top, they're obviously the smartest people in the world, and letting dumb people vote just isn't the thing to do. Murray seems to be writing about education of late, and it's perfectly reasonable to say that not everybody should go to college. Still, by all indications, he's political to the core, and unapologetic about it.
