Episode Summary: The sexual revolution isn't progress. It's a regression into outright paganism. This is not an overstatement.Today, we trace a direct line from Malthus and Darwin to Galton, Havelock Ellis, and Margaret Sanger, exposing how eugenic ideas shaped the birth control movement and continue to influence law, medicine, education, and even the Church today. Seth Gruber joins us to unpack his documentary The 1916 Project, laying out the historical evidence and connecting the dots from American academic elites to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and then back again as those same ideas fueled the sexual revolution in the United States!Hear us wrestle with a modern paradox of how current anti-racist rhetoric comfortably coexists with praise for Sanger and her evil movement that explicitly sought the “cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks.” Few realize the impact that the normalization of birth control and contraception laws had in reshaping sexual ethics, eventually requiring abortion as a backstop, and why the Church's silence helped clear the path.  We close with hope, through the story of the White Rose resistance during WWII and a call to form believers to stand up and resist cultural capture with truth, courage, and love.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

RHLSTP Book Club #166 - Sin Bin Island - Rich meets Red Dwarf co-creator and writer for A Kick Up The Eighties, Doug Naylor to talk about his thrilling and funny new book for kids, Sinbin Island. They chat about how Doug got started in comedy, why he gave us the Chicken Song, how Galton and Simpson inspired the writing of Red Dwarf, the difficulty of getting a sci-fi sitcom off the ground and how losing a leg at the age of 7 led to a correspondence with Douglas Bader. They then talk about what inspired Sinbin Island and how it started off about being about aliens, why so many kids books revolve around orphans, the decision to make the story reassuringly old-fashioned and yet still funny and relevant, whether the story is deliberately written to be unfilmable (at least without a huge budget) and if it was inspired by Doug's own experiences at boarding school. Plus the intriguing Russian nesting dolls and what they say about free will or time travel, but let's not give too much away.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/sin-bin-island-a-financial-times-children-s-book-of-the-year-from-red-dwarf-co-creator-doug-naylor-doug-naylor/3ad56d65845f8273SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

Descubre Cómo Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ️ En este episodio, damos un salto al pasado para comprender cómo la psicología dejó de ser pura especulación filosófica y se convirtió en una ciencia apoyada en datos, números y clasificaciones. Antes del siglo XIX, hablar de la mente era hablar del alma, la voluntad, la razón... pero desde Galton, Kraepelin y Binet, la cosa cambió para siempre. Nos sumergimos en la historia de tres figuras clave que, sin conocerse, compartieron un mismo objetivo: medir lo invisible. Francis Galton, estadístico inglés y primo de Darwin, creó el concepto de "naturaleza y crianza". Pero su obsesión por los datos lo llevó a formular ideas peligrosas: la eugenesia. Una ciencia que pretendía mejorar la raza humana... y que acabó teniendo consecuencias trágicas. Emil Kraepelin, psiquiatra alemán, quiso poner orden en el caos de los diagnósticos mentales. Observando cientos de casos, propuso clasificaciones clínicas que aún usamos hoy. Gracias a él, hablamos de "esquizofrenia", pero su sistema rígido también abrió el debate sobre la reducción del individuo a una etiqueta. Alfred Binet, psicólogo francés, diseñó el primer test de inteligencia con un objetivo noble: ayudar a los niños con dificultades. Pero su invento fue malinterpretado por otros, y su uso dio pie al temido CI, una herramienta que acabaría sirviendo para excluir más que para incluir. Este episodio no solo es una lección de historia. Es un espejo para el presente. Vivimos en una era de big data, donde los algoritmos deciden si obtenemos un crédito, qué anuncios vemos o incluso si conseguimos un empleo. Y todo en nombre de la "medición objetiva". ¿Hasta qué punto estamos repitiendo la misma historia, pero con tecnología más avanzada? ¿No estamos cayendo en la misma trampa de Galton, al creer que los datos son neutros? Este episodio es una invitación a pensar: no solo sobre cómo nació la psicología como ciencia, sino sobre cómo usamos hoy el conocimiento que heredamos de estos pioneros. Porque si algo nos enseñan sus historias es que los datos son herramientas... y toda herramienta puede usarse para construir o destruir. Si te interesa la mente, la psicología y las decisiones que tomamos como sociedad, no te pierdas este episodio.

Hello friends, and happy new year! We're gearing up for a new run of episodes starting later in January. In the meanwhile, enjoy this pick from our archives. ------ [originally aired October 16, 2024] IQ is, to say the least, a fraught concept. Psychologists have studied IQ—or g for "general cognitive ability"—maybe more than any other psychological construct. And they've learned some interesting things about it. That it's remarkably stable over the lifespan. That it really is general: people who ace one test of intellectual ability tend to ace others. And that IQs have risen markedly over the last century. At the same time, IQ seems to be met with increasing squeamishness, if not outright disdain, in many circles. It's often seen as crude, misguided, reductive—maybe a whole lot worse. There's no question, after all, that IQ has been misused—that it still gets misused—for all kinds of racist, classist, colonialist purposes. As if this wasn't all thorny enough, the study of IQ is also intimately bound up with the study of genetics. It's right there in the roiling center of debates about how genes and environment make us who we are. So, yeah, what to make of all this? How should we be thinking about IQ? My guest today is Dr. Eric Turkheimer. Eric is Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. He has studied intelligence and many other complex human traits for decades, and he's a major figure in the field of "behavior genetics." Eric also has a new book out this fall—which I highly recommend—titled Understanding the Nature-Nurture Debate. In a field that has sometimes been accused of rampant optimism, Eric is—as you'll hear—a bit more measured. In this conversation, Eric and I focus on intelligence and its putatively genetic basis. We talk about why Eric doubts that we are anywhere close to an account of the biology of IQ. We discuss what makes intelligence such a formidable construct in psychology and why essentialist understandings of it are so intuitive. We talk about Francis Galton and the long shadow he's cast on the study of human behavior. We discuss the classic era of Twin Studies—an era in which researchers started to derive quantitative estimates of the heritability of complex traits. We talk about how the main takeaway from that era was that genes are quite important indeed, and about how more recent genetic techniques suggest that takeaway may have been a bit simplistic. Along the way, Eric and I touch on spelling ability, child prodigies, the chemical composition of money, the shared quirks of twins reared apart, the Flynn Effect, the Reverse Flynn Effect, birth order, the genetics of height, the problem of missing heritability, whether we should still be using IQ scores, and the role of behavior genetics in the broader social sciences.  Alright folks, lots in here—let's just get to it. On to my conversation with Dr. Eric Turkheimer. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 3:30 – The 1994 book The Bell Curve, by Richard Herrnstein a Charles Murray, dealt largely with the putative social implications of IQ research. It was extremely controversial and widely discussed. For an overview of the book and controversy, see the Wikipedia article here. 6:00 – For discussion of the "all parents are environmentalists…" quip, see here. 12:00 – The notion of "multiple intelligences" was popularized by the psychologist Howard Gardner—see here for an overview. See here for an attempt to test the claims of the "multiple intelligences" framework using some of the methods of traditional IQ research. For work on EQ (or Emotional Intelligence) see here. 19:00 – Dr. Turkheimer has also laid out his spelling test analogy in a Substack post. 22:30 – Dr. Turkheimer's 1998 paper, "Heritability and Biological Explanation." 24:30 – For an in-passing treatment of the processing efficiency idea, see p. 195 of Daniel Nettle's book Personality. See also Richard Haier's book, The Neuroscience of Intelligence. 26:00 – The original study on the relationship between pupil size and intelligence. A more recent study that fails to replicate those findings. 31:00 – For an argument that child prodigies constitute an argument for "nature," see here. For a memorable narrative account of one child prodigy, see here. 32:00 – A meta-analysis of the Flynn effect. We have previously discussed the Flynn Effect in an episode with Michael Muthukrishna. 37:00 – James Flynn's book, What is Intelligence? On the reversal of the Flynn Effect, see here. 40:00 – The phrase "nature-nurture" originally comes from Shakespeare and was picked up by Francis Galton. In The Tempest, Prospero describes Caliban as "a born devil on whose nature/ Nurture can never stick." 41:00 – For a biography of Galton, see here. For an article-length account of Galton's role in the birth of eugenics, see here. 50:00 – For an account of R.A. Fisher's 1918 paper and its continuing influence, see here. 55:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's paper on the "nonshared environment"—E in the ACE model. 57:00 – A study coming out of the Minnesota Study of Twins reared apart. A New York Times article recounting some of the interesting anecdata in the Minnesota Study. 1:00:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's 2000 paper on the "three laws of behavior genetics." Note that this is not, in fact, Dr. Turkheimer's most cited paper (though it is very well cited). 1:03:00 – For another view of the state of behavior genetics in the postgenomic era, see here. 1:11:00 – For Dr. Turkheimer's work on poverty, heritability, and IQ, see here. 1:13:00 – A recent large-scale analysis of birth order effects on personality. 1:16:00 – For Dr. Turkheimer's take on the missing heritability problem, see here and here.    1:19:00 – A recent study on the missing heritability problem in the case of height. 1:30:00 – On the dark side of IQ, see Chapter 9 of Dr. Turkheimer's book. See also Radiolab's series on g. 1:31:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's Substack, The Gloomy Prospect.   Recommendations The Genetic Lottery, Kathryn Paige Harden Intelligence, Stuart Ritchie Intelligence and How to Get It, Richard Nisbett "Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents'' (Ted talk), James Flynn   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

Eugenics and Philanthropy traces how elite philanthropy helped turn population control from an openly coercive ideology into a polished system of policy, metrics, and “care.” Beginning with early American eugenics, the episode follows the money and institutions that reframed social problems as biological ones and elevated experts to manage reproduction, poverty, and dependency from the top down. What once relied on laws and quotas evolved into benchmarks, grants, and administrative pressure, with accountability consistently pushed onto those closest to the harm.This investigation connects figures like Andrew Carnegie and the foundations he inspired to research centers, courts, and modern development pipelines. It examines how ideas about “fitness” were laundered through science, law, and later humanitarian language, migrating from heredity labs to health systems and development programs. Along the way, it exposes how narrative funding, litigation engines, and international bodies normalize outcomes while insulating architects from responsibility.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: https://www.thefacthunter.comSubStack: https://substack.com/@thefacthunterShow Notes:Anti-Semites https://x.com/seethroughit2/status/2000612792794034370?s=20 Fake News Pro-Palestine https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/2000587471667560664?s=20 Rabbi Kaploun https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/2000624202202718649?s=20 Costs of War https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu Google trends  https://x.com/RealFactHunter/status/2000647417708863831?s=20Carnegie 990: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/131628151

Collège de FranceAnnée 2025-2026Colloque de rentrée 2025 - Une histoire de l'intelligence est-elle possible ? - La fabrique de l'intelligence : du mot à la choseWilliam MarxProfesseur du Collège de FranceRésuméLe concept d'intelligence prend une place de plus en plus importante au fil du XIXe siècle dans la réflexion anthropologique et philosophique européenne, s'imposant contre des concurrents tels que l'esprit et l'entendement. Il concourt à une biologisation et une naturalisation de la réflexion historique (Comte). Par le biais de la théorie de l'évolution, le terme instaure une dialectique entre l'individu et le collectif (Spencer, Galton, Ribot). Il prend une dimension politique (Maurras, Benda). On assiste concurremment à des entreprises de dépersonnalisation et de formalisation du problème de l'intelligence (Taine, Binet, Valéry) qui ouvrent la voie aux théories de l'intelligence artificielle.

'n Wetsontwerp om die hekke by die Etosha Nasionale Park te hernoem word deur die justisieministerie hersien. Die kwessie het aandag getrek nadat Swapo-parlementslid Tobie Aupindi die Nasionale Vergadering versoek het om die Galton-hek na Otjozovandu te hernoem. Aupindi het Sir Francis Galton, na wie die hek genoem is, gekritiseer vir sy bande met eugenetika en rassisme. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Ndeshipanda Hamunyela, die woordvoerder van die toerismeministerie gepraat, wat sê dat vyf hekke hernoem sal word. Hamunyela verduidelik.

John Antrobus is 92 years old and still going strong! He is the last living link with the Goon Show inasmuch as he co-wrote (with Spike Milligan) two shows from the eighth series and would later go on to collaborate with Milligan on a regular basis - mostly notably on The Bed Sitting Room.Fifteen years Milligan's junior, young fresh-faced Antrobus joined Associated London Scripts soon after its formation and worked with all the older hands - including Johnny Speight, Galton & Simpson and Eric Sykes. It was an education!A fine comedy writer and playwright, John is long overdue a proper appreciation and joining Tyler this week to bend the knee is Mike Haskins. Mike recalls interviewing Antrobus for some Radio 4 documentaries and examines his career with particular emphasis on his relationship with Spike.

Over a long and rightly celebrated career Ray Galton and Alan Simpson were careful to file away, log and generally archive much of their written output, correspondence, contracts and other ephemera. Now York University's Borthwick Institute for Archives is attempting to secure the collection for the nation and the Institute's Gary Brannan joins Tyler to talk about the G&S archive and the fund-raising campaign - appropriately titled 'Innit Marvellous'.More information here: https://yustart.hubbub.net/p/galtonandsimpson/Among the tantalising discoveries in the Galton & Simpson archive are several short sketches featuring Goon Show characters which were specifically written for Peter Sellers to perform on a long-forgotten radio variety show in late 1954 - literally days before the first episode of Hancock's Half Hour was broadcast. One of these scripts was brought back to life and performed at the York Festival of Ideas recently by actor and voice-over artist Richard Usher, who is also acting Chair of the Goon Show Preservation Society.Richard joins Tyler and Gary to talk about these scripts and the conversation ranges from Galton & Simpson's career to the importance of archive preservation. Richard talks about how he believes the GSPS can evolve to remain relevant and Gary discusses other collections the Institute currently holds.

What if trading wasn't about guessing market direction—but understanding where the odds are stacked in your favor? In this episode, Andy, Corey, and Noah break down the concept of probability trading and how it can give investors a clearer edge. Using a Galton board as an analogy, they explain how predictable outcomes and distributions play a crucial role in market behavior.Corey points out that the S&P 500 typically stays within a certain range year over year—and that statistically, the odds favor positive returns. Andy shares his personal strategy of trading options on the Dow, where a large percentage of trades expired worthless by design. Together, they emphasize the power of probability over prediction, the importance of managing risk, and how understanding patterns can transform both trading and long-term investing.

In the first of our new series of podcasts, we look at the radio episode The Wild Man of the Woods from the fourth radio series. The episode, which was released on Hancock's first LP This is Hancock, is considered by the Team as one of best of the radio episodes.  The gang look at the number of roles played by Kenneth Williams, discuss the great performances from all of the cast, consider the beautiful language used by Galton and Simpson in this episode and review probably the most well known fluff in all of the radio episodes!Don't forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast.  And if you haven't done so already, why not join the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society – full details of how to join are at www.tonyhancock.org.uk   We have an event planned for Solihull in September 2025 and more events will be added to the calendar over the coming months.  We'd love to welcome you as a member and see you at our events. In addition, screenings of Hancock's TV episodes on the big screen continue at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. We'll be back in two weeks with a review of the fifth radio series Around the World in Eighty Days.  We hope to see you then.

En este episodio de DÍAS EXTRAÑOS exploramos la fascinante y controvertida figura de Francis Galton, primo de Charles Darwin y uno de los científicos más excéntricos de la historia. Más allá de ser el padre de la eugenesia, descubrimos a un hombre obsesionado con medir absolutamente todo: desde el color que cambiaba en los rostros de los espectadores durante las carreras de caballos, hasta la eficacia de las oraciones por la realeza británica. Inventor del silbato para perros, los mapas meteorológicos en periódicos y un "detector de atracción" basado en la inclinación física de las personas, Galton representa la delgada línea entre el genio científico y la obsesión desmedida. Una historia sobre cómo la mente humana puede brillar y extraviarse al mismo tiempo. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

On a recent trip to Kidscreen I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss distribution with Alison Taylor from Aardman and Ed Galton from Cake. With our industry undergoing so much change, I wanted to hear what it was like on the distribution side of the business, and how these two companies, with very different beginnings and operations were navigating the change. I also added some thoughts on the conference in general and the vibe I got while on the trip. Enjoy!And if you do, please like, rate, and comment on your favorite podcasting platform and share the episode on social media.If you have any comments or suggestions please get in touch.

During the Pandemic, commercial and fine art photographer Beth Galton created an art piece that eventually turned into an art book she titled, Covid Diary. Now she has started a Kickstarter to help her fully realize the scope of this passion project.  On this episode, we're talking about the Covid Diary, which is on its final fundraising stretch. We discuss the origin of the project, its evolution, and how this experience has helped Beth grow. Click here to learn more about the kickstarter! About Beth: A born and bred New Yorker, Beth is continually inspired by the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city she calls home. The path to a prolific career as an award-winning New York City photographer began in a childhood animated with Marvel Comics, choral music, a natural science education, flute lessons, and the chaotic and composed meals she had at home and abroad. Photography became her method to synthesize life. Drawn to the organic classicism of Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and Edward Steichen, Beth's work is informed by her sensitivity to how light falls and shapes the subject. Her work is exceptional in its ability to invest her images with emotion. Whether making a photo look so compelling you want to pick it up off the page, or conceptually exploring an idea, she applies her deep knowledge and love of craft to each photograph she creates. Beth's personal warmth and generosity infuse her working and shooting environment. She enjoys creative and collaborative relationships with stylists and Art Directors many of whom she works with again and again. Her images and short films tell stories – the story of memories, of what and how we eat together, a love of nature, and the pleasure of shared experiences. Visit Beth's website.  

I discuss how the role of voting is intended to garner the consent of the governed, not to accomplish the will of the governed. The system will carry on as it is until voters disenfranchise themselves from the ballot box and move into the streets.

Professor Philip Schofield hosts Social Scientist Dr Jonathan Galton, to explore his research into the perceived political tension on the progressive left between queerness and Islam. Discussing the historical and cultural context surrounding queerness and Islam, they find surprising affinities between Bentham's writing on freedom of religion and sexual liberty, and the contemporary theological work reinterpreting Quranic verses on homosexuality today. Host: Professor Philip Schofield (Director of the Bentham Project, UCL) Guest: Dr Jonathan Galton (IOE - Social Research Institute, UCL) Commissioners: Professor David Docherty OBE & Dr Paul Ayris (Pro-Vice-Provost LCCOS: Library, Culture, Collections and Open Science, UCL) Director: Justin Hardy (IOE - Culture, Communication & Media, UCL) Producer: Stevie Doran Date: 21 October 2024 Duration: 26:35

IQ is, to say the least, a fraught concept. Psychologists have studied IQ—or g for “general cognitive ability”—maybe more than any other psychological construct. And they've learned some interesting things about it. That it's remarkably stable over the lifespan. That it really is general: people who ace one test of intellectual ability tend to ace others. And that IQs have risen markedly over the last century. At the same time, IQ seems to be met with increasing squeamishness, if not outright disdain, in many circles. It's often seen as crude, misguided, reductive—maybe a whole lot worse. There's no question, after all, that IQ has been misused—that it still gets misused—for all kinds of racist, classist, colonialist purposes. As if this wasn't all thorny enough, the study of IQ is also intimately bound up with the study of genetics. It's right there in the roiling center of debates about how genes and environment make us who we are. So, yeah, what to make of all this? How should we be thinking about IQ? My guest today is Dr. Eric Turkheimer. Eric is Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. He has studied intelligence and many other complex human traits for decades, and he's a major figure in the field of “behavior genetics.” Eric also has a new book out this fall—which I highly recommend—titled Understanding the Nature-Nurture Debate. In a field that has sometimes been accused of rampant optimism, Eric is—as you'll hear—a bit more measured. In this conversation, Eric and I focus on intelligence and its putatively genetic basis. We talk about why Eric doubts that we are anywhere close to an account of the biology of IQ. We discuss what makes intelligence such a formidable construct in psychology and why essentialist understandings of it are so intuitive. We talk about Francis Galton and the long shadow he's cast on the study of human behavior. We discuss the classic era of Twin Studies—an era in which researchers started to derive quantitative estimates of the heritability of complex traits. We talk about how the main takeaway from that era was that genes are quite important indeed, and about how more genetic techniques suggest that takeaway may have been a bit simplistic. Along the way, Eric and I touch on spelling ability, child prodigies, the chemical composition of money, the shared quirks of twins reared apart, the Flynn Effect, the Reverse Flynn Effect, birth order, the genetics of height, the problem of missing heritability, whether we should still be using IQ scores, and the role of behavior genetics in the broader social sciences.  Alright folks, lots in here—let's just get to it. On to my conversation with Dr. Eric Turkheimer. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 3:30 – The 1994 book The Bell Curve, by Richard Herrnstein a Charles Murray, dealt largely with the putative social implications of IQ research. It was extremely controversial and widely discussed. For an overview of the book and controversy, see the Wikipedia article here. 6:00 – For discussion of the “all parents are environmentalists…” quip, see here. 12:00 – The notion of “multiple intelligences” was popularized by the psychologist Howard Gardner—see here for an overview. See here for an attempt to test the claims of the “multiple intelligences” framework using some of the methods of traditional IQ research. For work on EQ (or Emotional Intelligence) see here. 19:00 – Dr. Turkheimer has also laid out his spelling test analogy in a Substack post. 22:30 – Dr. Turkheimer's 1998 paper, “Heritability and Biological Explanation.” 24:30 – For an in-passing treatment of the processing efficiency idea, see p. 195 of Daniel Nettle's book Personality. See also Richard Haier's book, The Neuroscience of Intelligence. 26:00 – The original study on the relationship between pupil size and intelligence. A more recent study that fails to replicate those findings. 31:00 – For an argument that child prodigies constitute an argument for “nature,” see here. For a memorable narrative account of one child prodigy, see here. 32:00 – A meta-analysis of the Flynn effect. We have previously discussed the Flynn Effect in an episode with Michael Muthukrishna. 37:00 – James Flynn's book, What is Intelligence? On the reversal of the Flynn Effect, see here. 40:00 – The phrase “nature-nurture” originally comes from Shakespeare and was picked up by Francis Galton. In The Tempest, Prospero describes Caliban as “a born devil on whose nature/ Nurture can never stick.” 41:00 – For a biography of Galton, see here. For an article-length account of Galton's role in the birth of eugenics, see here. 50:00 – For an account of R.A. Fisher's 1918 paper and its continuing influence, see here. 55:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's paper on the “nonshared environment”—E in the ACE model. 57:00 – A study coming out of the Minnesota Study of Twins reared apart. A New York Times article recounting some of the interesting anecdata in the Minnesota Study. 1:00:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's 2000 paper on the “three laws of behavior genetics.” Note that this is not, in fact, Dr. Turkheimer's most cited paper (though it is very well cited). 1:03:00 – For another view of the state of behavior genetics in the postgenomic era, see here. 1:11:00 – For Dr. Turkheimer's work on poverty, heritability, and IQ, see here. 1:13:00 – A recent large-scale analysis of birth order effects on personality. 1:16:00 – For Dr. Turkheimer's take on the missing heritability problem, see here and here.    1:19:00 – A recent study on the missing heritability problem in the case of height. 1:30:00 – On the dark side of IQ, see Chapter 9 of Dr. Turkheimer's book. See also Radiolab's series on g. 1:31:00 – See Dr. Turkheimer's Substack, The Gloomy Prospect.   Recommendations The Genetic Lottery, Kathryn Paige Harden Intelligence, Stuart Ritchie Intelligence and How to Get It, Richard Nisbett ‘Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents'' (Ted talk), James Flynn   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

The boys drink and review Pigweed's Seal Team 6 -- a homebrewed Black IPA -- then discuss eugenics. Humans have been breeding animals and plants for a very long time. Most of the foods we eat are the result of thousands of years of careful breeding by farmers, and "man's best friend" was bred from wild dogs. Why shouldn't we do the same with humans? Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin who was very influenced by The Origin of Species, proposed just such a plan and called it "eugenics." Darwinism convinced Galton that an organism's most important characteristics must be biological rather than shaped by environment or experience. The idea caught fire with the intellectual elite. John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger and Alexander Graham Bell all promoted the idea to one degree or another. The Supreme Court even weighed in. In upholding a Virginia law that permitted compulsory sterilization of individuals thought unfit to reproduce, Oliver Wendell Holmes said in Buck v. Bell, "three generations of imbeciles are enough." 38 States adopted some form of eugenics laws and more than 60,000 Americans were sterilized without their consent. Adolf Hitler read about this and thought, "gee, what a good idea." After the horrors of World War II, the west turned away from eugenics. It still stands as a reminder that fine-sounding ideas approved by intelligent people can still be horribly stupid.

Blurry Photober is late this year, but David is back with an episode all about Highgate Cemetery! An incredible feat of gothic greatness, Highgate Cemetery has an interesting history and hauntings to boot. David had the fortune to take a tour of the Grade I historic location, and also interviewed the tour guide, John Waite. John and David go over the history of the cemetery, including its inception, how it fell to disrepair, and how it was revived. David then gets into the history of the hauntings which are said to happen. Mysterious top-hatted figures, forlorn spectres, and rumors of vampires have plagued the boneyard for decades. David discusses these stories as well as the infamous occultist feud between David Farrant and Sean Manchester. Take a history-heavy tour of a hauntingly beautiful location in this episode of Blurry Photos!Follow me on Twitch!MusicDanse Macabre, Lightless Dawn, Ossuary 5 - Rest, Phantasm, Zombie Hoodoo – Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0SourcesJarvis, Jacob.
