The cost of throwing out falsification in order to protect misused,
oversimplified, uncorrected models of what race and intelligence will
always be greater than the gains (as Watson has had to experience
personally). All he needed to do was provide a falsifiable theory of both
to
maintain his position as one of the most eminent scientists of the era.
To
be able to do that for race Watson would of had to define race as _gene
group centric_ and NOT just _gene centric_. The reason the critical
difference between these two self exclusive concepts has always been
evaded
is because a discussion of either must inevitably highlight the misuse of
mathematically based models within evolutionary science (which provided
this
unhappy situation in the first place). I remain stunned and amazed at the
stupidity model misuse has precipitated within evolutionary theory.
I see, you mean James D. Watson.
JE:-
Yes.
I see, but to find a meaninful group of genes that would be used as an
objective measure of race is a very risky proposal.
JE:-
Science is not politics (or just mathematics). Political risk has nothing to
do with the sciences. History demonstrates that the empirical truth, no
matter what anybody thinks of it at the time, is the road to progress.
We do not know
yet enough genetics for this task.
JE:-
Yes. Do you separate inductive genetics which is known as "synthetic"
genetics from reductive genetics?
A theory of gene group centric synthetic genetics does not exist, not
because it cannot exist but because the mathematicians who dominate
synthetic genetics have failed to understand the critical difference between
gene group centric and just gene centric. This is mostly because they remain
little picture deductive thinkers. They can take humpty dumpty apart
(reductive genetics) but cannot put him back together again (synthetic
genetics). What separates Darwin and Mendel from today's reductive Neo
Darwinist is the _high inductive ability_ that both Darwin and Mendel
abundantly displayed.
