#OWS, Minsky, Evolutionary Psycology, and I.Q

Ferdinand Bardamu writes of his experience with Occupy Wall Street.  This is why I read Ferd.

Vox Day on Steve Keen's new book: Debunking economics is definitely on my reading list. 

Roissy/Heartiste answers the question are "Women less principled than men?". In another post, he demonstrates that feminists are scared of the implications of evolutionary psychology. Its always vexed me that the majority of secularists, the nihilist manosphere notwithstanding, are the foremost perpetuators of the numerous PC lies of the left, even as the evolutionary biology they so readily cling to continues to demolish those politically correct beliefs.

Dennis Mangan on inheritability, I.Q, and success. My view is that success comes from a number of factors: innate talent, intelligence, culture, personality, upbringing, hard work, deliberate practice, connections, etc. The question is not whether it is Nurture vs Nature; both clearly have a role to play. The question is which one plays a more significant role. I suspect it depends on what you are talking about.
