Reality is a rather conservative bitch, isn't she?

More and more the unscientific 'blank slate' dogma of the left with regard to genetics, behavior, intelligence and sex differences is melting under the relentless glare of scientific sunlight.  The 'tragic' or conservative view of humanity - as Steve Pinker puts it - reigns supreme.

Which of course means that much of the 'prog' project is made ludicrous.  Not that the faithful will acknowledge the death of their God. Indeed they will persecute, fire and anathemize anyone who even will acknowledge the truth.  Here's a classic example from lefty shill rag Scientific American.

But this nothing compared to Scientific American, where a favorable notice of the book by blogger Ashutosh Jogalekar appeared, with this conclusion:
Overall I found this book extremely well-researched, thoughtfully written and objectively argued. Wade draws on several sources, including the peer reviewed literature and work by other thinkers and scientists. The many researchers whose work Wade cites makes the writing authoritative; on the other hand, where speculation is warranted or noted he usually explicitly points it out as such. Some of these speculations such as the effects of genetics on the behavior of entire societies are quite far flung but I don’t see any reason why, based on what we do know about the spread of genes among groups, they should be dismissed out of hand. At the very least they serve as reasonable hypotheses to be pondered, thrashed out and tested. Science is about ideas, not answers.
Obviously you can’t say this, and Scientific American rushed to disassociate itself with Jogalekar’s piece, and has since fired him for a subsequent piece discussing the sexism of legendary physicist Richard Feynman.  SciAm not only fired him, but attempted to scrub the offending piece from their site.
This is the face of “liberal tolerance” when it is panicking like a cornered animal.
Pathetic.  Utterly pathetic.
