Summers and The Bell Curve

Arelcao Akleos said...
Well, that Summers thing is interesting. If he had said what is claimed he said, then he would have been wrong [given the evidence he alluded to]. He in fact did NOT claim that "men are more mathematically talented than women on average". What he claimed is that the consistent evidence from various testing programs shows that although the averages show no appreciable difference between the sexes [some tests go one way, others the other way, and this can change through different eras] the extremes do. In particular, these tests, no matter where in the world, and no matter what decade you look at, show that in the category of "the very best" and "the very worst" men appear much more frequently than women. If you look at those who score in the bottom 1% of IQ tests, and those who score in the top 1% of IQ tests, men rule by a ratio of at least 2:1. And as you go further out on the deviations, the ratio shoots up. If I remember correctly, the IQ test the military gave back some three decades ago, what was known then--as the "gcf" [general comprehension factor], had a ratio of nearly 8:1 men for those who scored in the top 0.1%. It had an even higher ratio for those who scored in the bottom 0.1%.
What Summers actually said was something close to this:
"It may be that we can never expect the elites in mathematically minded fields to show parity of numbers between men and women. For they draw upon the high extreme of mathematical talent, and all studies indicate that-- however different a story it is with averages-- most of those we can draw upon at the extremes, both low and high, are men".
The evidence, as any researcher worth her/his salt will admit in private, is fully behind Summers. What Summers actually said, not what the quote says he said.
Of course, the subtext of what Summers said is:
Summers: "You guys want parity between different tribal groups in the mathematicals sciences. If we judge people as individuals we cannot expect Parity between the tribes.If we judge people as members of a tribe, to achieve Parity, we leave out many of the best individuals who would otherwise be chosen. So either Harvard suffers in "Social Justice" or Harvard suffers intellectually. I think we should choose Veritas over Kumbaya"
The Harvard Mob: "Burn the Summers Pig, Kumbaya, Burn the Summers Pig, Kumbaya, Ooooh Lefty Kumbayaaaaa"

Mitt gets some help
"He is the most intellectually inconsistent politician in the history of politics," Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. -- channeling JJ from his digs in Provincetown.

A winning coalition
"When you combine an energized African-American voter base and effective coalition-building with other progressive sectors of the population, we think we have a recipe for victory." Obama consciously constructed his election strategy on a foundation of leftist ideology and racial bloc voting. The pillars of Planet Pepe.

Spengler Looks at Obama....sees Planet Pepe in all its Ricain Hatin' Gloire

"... I saw those Djakarta markets for what they were: fragile, precious things. The people who sold their goods there might have been poor, poorer even than folks out in Altgeld [the Chicago housing project where Obama engaged in community organizing]. They hauled fifty pounds of firewood on their backs every day, they ate little, they died young. And yet for all that poverty, there remained in their lives a discernible order, a tapestry of trading routes and middlemen, bribes to pay and customs to observe, the habits of a generation played out every day beneath the bargaining and the noise and the swirling dust....." [from Obama's book, Dreams of my Father]
The coherence of traditional society imposes a structure on life, a structure so rigid that such societies cannot adapt to change and must crumble before encroaching empire. In return for the sanctity of individual rights, Americans are freed from the constraints of traditional society and made responsible for their own actions. For an American presidential candidate to refer to traditional society as the model for the solution to American problems has no precedent. It is one thing to denounce American errors while upholding American principles. Never before has America considered electing a president who prefers the alternative, and that might just be the most dangerous thing to happen to the United States since its Civil War. " [Spencer's conclusion]
It's easy to see why Obama makes Le Pew's leg do the Mathews Jiggle. A Versaillian rule over a happy place where the peasants get to die young and without hope under good ol' traditional Planet Pepe values. All that, and Kayla too.
