      I got a copy of mismeasure of man but never got around to it, but it's very obvious that IQ was and continues to be a tool of oppression. That book on meditation sounds extremely interesting. I know the last interview RevLeft had with Michael Brooks he mentioned something similar.

      Not just biological determinism but to try to say "see their problems are their own fault nothing we did" + argue to cut public services since its just wasted on people who cannot do 'better'.

      Charles Murray is a big Koch crony too, and Charles Kochs father was a co-founder of the John Birch Society and Charles was also a member.

      And the Birchers were major opponents of the Civil Rights Movement and School Integration. And Murray is just one of many people Charles has continued to support with unusual ideas about race.
