Re: Zionism, supremacist doctrines and PNAC

This post is NOT about genetics!

As a separate point, however, I did, and do, want us all to be aware that
terms like "remarkable achievements" are saturated with class (and sometimes
racial-ethnic) bias. It is more accurate, more in keeping with the
principles of World Systems Theory and self-consciously critical social
science in general, for us to avoid using terms like "remarkable
achievements" as if they were universal, across cultures and classes.

One group's "remarkable achievements" can be hidden from view if they are
not consistent with the interests and values of those who  judge of
"remarkable achievements". And on a more obvious note, one group's
"remarkable achievements" are another group's genocide.

best,
Alan Spector

"yes, perhaps"  the children of rape victims are going to be less

rapists! Or maybe more intelligent because the rapists were skillful enough
to effective stalk and subdue women? Or maybe less intelligent because the
rapists were incapable of developing non-exploitative relationships with
women? Or maybe more intelligent because children that can survive such
psychological burdens must be stronger and smarter and will pass that on to
their children? My, my...we can use this logic to assert just about
anything......no matter how shallow or abusive.

Eysenck, once asserted on the same few pages that "blacks in Africa were

resourceful enough to escape capture, and passed their resourcefulness onto
their children" and then wrote, using something like that clever rhetorical
trick word "curiously"  that "curiously (or something like that)", the oppos

Irish had the intelligence to migrate to the USA, while the less intelligent
remained behind in Ireland to reproduce their less intelligent genes. No
data, just a rhetorical sleight-of-hand ("curiously" or "interestingly") to

what constitutes "intelligence" (which, after all, Warren does link to
"genetics" further along in the message.) Is Kissinger "smarter" than a
young Salvadoran guerrilla fighter, tortured to death by CIA-trained
assassins? He did live longer!!!  Is "success" the indicator of great
intelligence? By that logic, George W. Bush is the smartest President in
recent times (with Reagan as second), because of his recent, stunning,
(temporary) triumphs. What is "good art"? What is "good intellectual
leadership"? What is good "scientific leadership"? And especially, what is
"good corporate leadership"? How is that measured quantitatively, without
bias? How much intelligence does it take to raise children, in all their
complexity? How much does it take to hire an industrial spy to steal secrets
from another company? And especially, how is all that measured
qualitatively--in terms of what positive impact it had on the!

simplicity of a class-biased, ethno-centric history book from the 1950's,

peanuts.") with no self-awareness (at least in this post) of the enormous
bias which he is simply accepting as "fact".
