bell curve

On that summer evening, it hosted a talk on how to prevent crime on the city’s subways by a researcher at the Manhattan Institute, the house think tank of New York City’s conservative elite, which is probably best known as the incubator for ideologues like Charles Murray, the author of “The Bell Curve,” and Christopher Rufo, who helped instigate the moral panic around critical race theory.

It’s Charles Murray’s 1994 pseudo-scientific Bell Curve dressed up in high-flown pseudo-philosophy.

“The Bell Curve” implicitly rejected all of them, arguing against engaging in any argument at all.

"The Bell Curve" doesn't call for Black people to be enslaved, but it does suggest that they might be kept fenced into high tech "reservations" for people who are too weak-minded to do work.

I think if we acknowledge that this is a psyop, rather than a reasonable policy document, it becomes very obvious that "The Bell Curve" is dealing in mythology rather than science.
