Ok. Seriously, I HAVE to meet some of you folks before I die! The wikiality link is too funny.
I don't know when I'll be in New Yawk city but it's on my bucket list. I met Allen for coffee (not tea) in London--delightful! Didn't realize until then that he is a mathematician by training, and not a psychologist. I have also met Michael S in Daytona, during one of the AP readings, although I stayed in the background--he was spinning music outdoors. There are a few Canadians on this list I'd like to meet as well. And Beth! Have to meet Beth some time--aren't you in San Diego periodically, why haven't we met yet? Ah, it's so great to have a to-do list. And I will be in South Africa in February--but unfortunately only around Capetown! Annette ps: I took a grad course in dev psych from a devout follower of Jensen. Sigh. None of the women in class "got" A's; but the men did. :( My advisor advised me to not pursue it in academic grievance channels as the grades in grad school are not that relevant, and I did "get" a B; and it was better to just leave it alone; and he'd find a way to show that my grade was as it should be as everything was graded subjectively via papers and essay exams; and it was better just to focus on my dissertation. I don't know if I wish I had done anything--or not--as a year later the guy dropped dead. Literally. I'm glad he was out of the educational system. Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.

Ask your neighbor to read Richard Nisbett's book "Intelligence and How to Get It'. You can make believe that you read the book and provide a summary of it by reading the following book review (a strategy employed mostly by high school English students in order to get out of reading books that they have no interest in); see: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/books/review/Holt-t.html?pagewanted=all You can start with the following quote: |Success in life depends on intelligence, which is measured by |I.Q. tests. Intelligence is mostly a matter of heredity, as |we know from studies of identical twins reared apart. Since |I.Q. differences between individuals are mainly genetic, the |same must be true for I.Q. differences between groups. So the |I.Q. ranking of racial/ethnic groups — Ashkenazi Jews on top, |followed by East Asians, whites in general, and then blacks — |is fixed by nature, not culture. Social programs that seek to |raise I.Q. are bound to be futile. Cognitive inequalities, |being written in the genes, are here to stay, and so are the |social inequalities that arise from them. Then you can explain how Nisbett demolishes this view. By the way, what did you neighbor think when Herman Cain referred to his nation as Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan?
