Nobel laureate Dr. James D. Watson, Chancellor, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Many of the people who joined in the attacks on Watson in 2007 must have known that what he said about racial differences was accurate. After all, if he had simply been unaware of all the studies demonstrating that racial IQ gaps are environmental in origin, these could easily and quietly have been brought to his attention. There would have been no need to impugn the man’s character publicly.

Edward Dutton
Genius Under House Arrest: The Cancelation of James Watson
Washington: Academica Press, 2025

Ed Dutton’s latest offering is a continuation of two of his favorite themes: the nature of genius, and the personality profile of those who suffer from the woke mind virus. In October, 2007, the two clashed dramatically when James Watson, co-discoverer of the double helical structure of the DNA molecule, sparked a moral panic and was subjected to widespread character assassination for making some empirically accurate remarks on racial differences.

Homo Erectus reconstruction. Neanderthal Museum

It’s always encouraging when scientific discoveries confirm what people have always known. This is especially the case today when observation and common sense is suppressed and science confirms it anyway—which can be a revolutionary act. In the past 15 years, geneticists have been struggling with the idea of early human “introgression” with archaic hominid populations. (more…)

It’s the age-old story of crabs in a bucket: When one enlightened individual looks up, he sees the expanse of the universe and all its possibilities, but when all the other crabs look up, the ones who aren’t so enlightened only see one individual trying to escape. And they pull him back in.

James Dewey Watson is one such enlightened individual. We all know his accomplishments as perhaps the world’s most famous living scientist. (more…)

I have confidence in the Right as the political entity we know today largely because Right-wing extremism has proved to be less insidious, murderous, and destructive than Left-wing extremism. This has been the case for the last 250 years. Nothing can compare to the hideous wake left by the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Soviet terror famines and gulags, the mass starvations of Mao’s China, and the crimes committed by the North Vietnamese, among other atrocities. The Nazis at least waited until wartime to commit their acts of barbarism. The worst of the Left had no such compunctions, and were deadlier to boot. (more…)

Ancestral mating patterns reconstructed from DNA reveal that “the pair-bond is a ubiquitous feature most commonly observed in the form of serial monogamy.” In other words, having one spouse is the norm for humans.

An undercurrent of polygamy has coexisted with the monogamal norm, however. (more…)

With Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by Her Own Chastity, Dalí returned to his paranoiac-critical concerns (i.e., autoeroticism), but now transformed. The paranoiac origin is Dalí’s obsession with Vermeer’s The Lacemaker, which in turn he believed to “consist” in rhinoceroses’ horns. (more…)
