Solid video. Seeing obvious proto-fascist rationalizations on this site was a bit of a shock, and not one I respond very well to tbh. When someone tries to justify blatant racism with "science", they're actively attempting to legitimize violence against minorities and I see no reason to tolerate that noise.

Since this work has been discussed a lot here lately, I thought I'd share what I've found as the most comprehensive and yet accessible critique of that work. Normally, on other sites, there wouldn't be a chance anyone would watch such a long video, but I thought this might just be the place.

Okay, so I just finished a little over half the video and I think this is really great so far.
Up to about the 29 or 30 min mark the author goes through in great detail who the authors of the Bell Curve are and what their overarching arguments and ultimate conclusion are.
From then on the author starts debunking all of the dubious claims made throughout the Bell Curve.
I will add some more to this comment once I complete the video and finish my thoughts, bit thank you OP for posting this. It's a great resource.
No problem! I liked the video and just laugh whenever anyone trots out The Bell Curve. I thought it did perfectly worth the slower pace and deeper level of discussion here.

That's exactly it. This book is used widely by fascist and proto-fascist people in many places. So this deals with that from a very well researched video author.

Awesome, thank you!
I had no idea you could do that, thanks so much!

Why is this tagged "race realism"? Isn't that a fashy dog whistle?
