Cummings and Sabisky need some Skinner's conditioning, either negative punishment (dismissal) or positive punishment:You guys! If Pavlov were around today he wouldn’t need dogs!
Definitely above 8 (everything below is pleasure).

Re: What is Borisism?
Boris Johnson adviser: 'Very real racial differences in intelligence'He is a poor lecturer, I will grant that. But that’s something I know about
I like the news stories that say “His views on...have recently emerged.” Rather disingenuous. It’s the difference between a natural birth and a Caesarian.
"Eugenics are about selecting 'for' good things... Intelligence is largely inherited and it correlates with better outcomes: physical health, income, lower mental illness. There is no downside to having IQ except short-sightedness."

Re: What is Borisism?
"Superforecasting" = wisdom of the crowd? Fine by me if they are resolving the weight of an ox, but not the politics of the country where I live (sometimes).So this is the superforecaster elite?27, MA in Education from Cambridge..
He certainly didn't spend much time researching the (historically-loaded) subject of the correlation between IQ and race, not to mention the race vs genetics problem. And digging out the eugenics - the hauly grail of statistics! Seriously, what we know best about correlations in soft sciences is that anybody making firmly conclusive statements based on them is either stupid or has some agenda. This one looks to me like an embarrassingly stupid man.
Welcome to the 21st Century!
I wonder how Cummings won the bidding war with silicon valley?
Re: What is Borisism?
Lord Acton is almost certainly the wrong source to quote in a racism case, but there is some real relevance here to his famous dictum that "power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely."

You were doing fine until that last parenthetical remark. That raised an eyebrow.Cummings and Sabisky need some Skinner's conditioning, either negative punishment (dismissal) or positive punishment:You guys! If Pavlov were around today he wouldn’t need dogs!

Re: What is Borisism?
It will be part of the points system. We’ll bring in middle-class racists from Mexico, Argentina, Japan, China,.... Maybe not China.
Re: What is Borisism?
Negative points for Corona, unless it's from Mexico!

Only if they have names you can pronounce!This free movement! Can't we train our own racists? Do we have to import cheap racists from Eastern Europe?
