The Bell Curve: Revisited - or rather Revised?
Years ago I read with great interest a well-researched book written by two Harvard professors that proposed America's problems were primarily attributable to low IQ - but is that really the case?
With a title like "Selling the Human Short" a person might think this belongs to another category of great interest to me - Persuasion. However, this selling is something of a different sort and it would be better for humanity if it would stop. Many people have bought into very self-limiting ideas and will be hard-pressed to let them go. There is a long-standing tradition in civilization to explain away our shortcomings to any one of a multitude of religious dogmas or other uncontrollable circumstances and most recently, genetic predisposition.
