Even if progressives can be convinced that genetics matters (re-using the OPs title), what next? In how far shall this insight be used to re-consider our living-together?
Shall this lead to a scientifically backed reason to stigmatize groups? Shall this lead to a blessed segregation of people?
Would this lead to a better co-existance of people or a worse one?
Perhaps this could lead to less political polarisation and extremism? Perhaps Western society could come to terms with the idea that an observation of the state of the universe might not necessarily imply some kind of political or moral position? That is at least what I'm hoping for.
We already segregate people based on intelligence, it’s called selective school admissions (and Google HC). People like me are left out for good reason - we simply are genetically defective.
Unfortunately I don’t see much way out of this outside of exiting society (and perhaps life) permanently.
