A few weeks ago I posted on Sam Harris' erroneous thinking (link). One example was the promotion of Charles Murray and his pseudoscience on race. In this week's Making Sense podcast, he continues with such promotion by interviewing Robert Plomin, another promoter of the discredited genetics over environmental factors (nature over nurture). I am flummoxed: why does Sam Harris continue to challenge the consensus of science on nature vs. nurture? If he was an Alt-Right racist radical I would understand it.
Click on the links below for more on Plomin:
There is No Nature-Nurture War
Genetic determinism rides again
So is it nature not nurture after all?
Challenging the very core of psychology
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
