RSSI was wondering if you have any thoughts on DeBoer’s take on HBD? He seems to be one of the few liberals willing to dive in and address the facts as they are, rather than how he would like them to be:

https://fredrikdeboer.com/2017/04/10/disentangling-race-from-intelligence-and-genetics/
Anyone want to take bets on this? Seems unlikely without Harrison Bergeron style interventions.
Precisely because I don’t believe in pseudoscientific racism, I believe that we will eventually close the racial achievement gap, if we are willing to confront socioeconomic inequality directly and with government intervention.
By the time the demographics shift so much that even the SWPL libs in Vermont are race realists, the white population for the nation overall will be so low that it will be game over for the GOP.
gotta quibble. The Montreal Protocol (Ozone) is held up as a model for international cooperation in dealing with environmental problems.
But I agree with your larger point, apocolypse is always good business whether your talking enviro, religious, military, political, etc.
Fear is a great motivator.
Im just back from Tuolumne this week, from Wash D.C. It was gorgeous, somewhat remote, and crowded. I could barely get cellphone service. I forgot who was President, paid no attention to health care, and was woefully under educated on the upcoming tropical storms in Florida. The defintion of Wilderness is a place humans dont visit often. That doesnt need changing at all. I hope we keep a few areas wild in the U.S. About a half mile up the John Muir trail, from the Meadows a woman had fallen over from exhaustion. She was over weight, improperly dressed, and carrying little water. I applaud her for trying, I scold her for not taking hiking at 10,000 feet seriously. Best not let the obese graze to far from their living rooms and Costcos. We dont need to change the parks to accomodate them. Just the opposite.
@ 20$ for a week pass, though, I wouldnt mind paying a bit more. Bargain entertainment in todays world.
