The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart float free of reality.
Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability.
The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.
What good can come of bringing them into the open? America’s most precious ideal is what used to be known as the American Creed: people are not to be judged by where they came from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or creed.
They must be judged as individuals.
The prevailing progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the state should judge people by their race, social origins, religion, sex, and sexual orientation.
We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner.
We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences.
Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame.
What else could it be?
We have been afraid to answer.
We must.
‘Facing Reality’ is a step in that direction.

I wish someone uploaded Murray’s other books as well.

Most important book of the year. Thanks.

@mokache use the advanced search other books are uploaded here

@mokache
I managed to find on ABB these Charles Murray’s books (did not check the seeding part):
Human Diversity: Gender, Race, Class, and Genes - Charles Murray
The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Getting Ahead: Dos and Don’ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear Writing, and Living a Good Life - Charles Murray
Losing Ground - American Social Policy, 1950-1980 - Charles Murray

The big book of white victimhood.
June 17th, 2021
Wow - I’m always stunned that white men are such whiners. And this book seriously takes the cake.
So here’s the thing, you fine dudes - want a sex life, instead of having to come here for your entertainment that you’re not even willing to purchase (wow) - want a sex life? Have a brain.

Pre ordered this and it arrived yesterday, got about half through it last night. Insightful as always and detractors of Murray, from what I can see, must willingly choose to ignore fact. The amount of data and information from indisputable sources is unmatched.
June 17th, 2021
I will also ad that Murray is fond of graphics and tables to aid in making his points. Most of his books are far easier to digest in print. Thomas Sowells recent book about charter schools wasn’t to bad to listen to, but he his books can be a little heavy on the raw data as well.
June 17th, 2021
@Kiapan you want to try that again ? this time in english
June 17th, 2021
Oh look, the alt right are trying to pass themselves off as centrists again while spouting the usual guff about (very flawed) statistics and how black people are inherently dumber and more violent.

“Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people”.
Why do I have a feeling that some of my “friends across the isle” belong to the latter category (worse yet, their chances to depart from it anytime soon do not look good).

Now taking a look at “Human Diversity”, and somebody please pay this man’s way through undergrad so he can take intro physiology, genetics, and neuroscience and get a cleaner overview rather than cherry-picking. It’s too easy to read one’s own preconceptions in otherwise and miss e.g. confounding factors.
And then maybe some history would help as well.
> Everywhere and in all eras, men have dominated positions of political, economic, and cultural power.
Except in places and times when those roles have been held by women. Or in societies with more complex relations, e.g. “a woman chooses a man to be temporary leader. Then chooses another after his limited period of leadership is over”. Before “the state” came along social hierarchies were much more varied.
June 17th, 2021
@howlafist - That’s interesting. Were pre-state, tribal cultures/networks/societies more warrior-chieftain led & hierarchical, in nature? Where access to fertile females was apportioned according to a structured rewards system? Or, I may have been watching too much Xena & Herakles. I’m a bit fuzzy on pre-history (like all of us) but those Amazons…
June 18th, 2021
Thank you.
June 18th, 2021
Thank you so much!! I ordered a physical copy, but I have been wanting to listen to it (While playing video games…), so I am stoked about this upload! Again, thank you!!

75% of violent crime is committed by 11% of the population. The greatest threat to America isn’t white supremacy, it’s young black men. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Get your communities in order and stop blaming whitey.
June 18th, 2021
My, my, all the snowflake, bedwetters are out tonight.
Well researched, well documented and a remarkably courageous book!
June 18th, 2021
@lisiva5995 by that standard, you need to get your right-wing conspiracy theorist community to stop committing terrorist acts.
June 18th, 2021
Twenty-seven years after The Bell Curve, you’d think Charles Murray would be ashamed to open his atrocious methodology to target practice by reputable social scientists. Still, if he’s been oblivious to his own racism for his entire life, it’s easy to understand why he’s oblivious to systemic racism.

@fungus60 - You absolutely provide a welcome service: If a particular book is to your liking, it must be utter garbage. Thank you!
June 18th, 2021
FFS, the entire black community aren’t committing 75& of violent crimes over there.
June 18th, 2021
Wow, I’ve never even heard of this book.
I think Coming Apart really explains the divergence of elite/urban/international from middle class/America. Excellent.
June 18th, 2021
You must admit the the entire media and Democrat party is at this time demonizing whiteness. Our president has said that whites becoming a minority in the US is a good thing.
The idea that the US should remain a majority white nation is a fairly accepted opinion among mainstream whites. A couple of decades ago it would have been laughable to suggest otherwise.
In recent Oregon poll “About 40% of respondents said they strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement, “America must protect and preserve its White European heritage.” We are told this is “extremism” now.
Murray is politely warning thoughtful people that if the left keeps this up, we are going to see white people organize and then anything is possible.

I’m presume that all of these detractors of Charles Murray think the foolish, unsubstantiated nonsense of “academics” like Ibrham X. Kendi represent brilliant scholarship.
How difficult is it to understand that Murray does not present his data to disparage any particular race or individual? I’m white and well aware that, for example, when examined as a racial group Asians outperform people of my skin color in certain areas. So what? As an individual I also know that there are millions of individuals of many races/cultures/backgrounds who are smarter and/or more talented than me in many areas.
Science is good and data is good. It can help us understand and address issues to see what works and what doesn’t work. I thought lefties liked science and data? I guess sociology is only good when it fits an agenda.

The issue here is that statistics say nothing about confounders and causation. See the “success” (high salaries etc) among US immigrants from africa as a counterpart to the differences in “cognitive ability” being “biologically inherent”.
A child’s brain more than doubles in size during its first year alive and continues rapidly growing and pruning neurons for several years afterwards, and during this period its “cognitive ability” outlook is largely determined. During this period children in poor households are much more likely to suffer disruptions (unhealthy / insufficient diets, unstable family conditions and stress, little parental interaction or educational stimulus) and so become relatively cognitively impaired.
For historical reasons, poor people both in the US and on a global scale tend to be disproportionately “black”, “brown”, or “dark tan”, and so these demographics are handicapped. Countering this effect would require better support for poor children at a systems level, ensuring stable and healthy early-life environments and good public education. Expecting a vicious circle to self-correct is unrealistic
@caesar963
Most anything you can think of has existed somewhere and when, from matrilineal villages that kick out their men to find partners elsewhere to families trading women with each other like currency. Leadership is/was also often split between multiple figures, matriarchs, patriarchs, shaman figures etc. Strong social role differentiation for men and women is pretty standard, but there are also often exceptions made for homosexual/transgender/otherwise intersex individuals, e.g. a person expected to be a woman might instead take on men’s work and clothing and marry a woman, or there might be one or more “intermediate” or “alternative” categories. (These kinds of exceptions are not always present, of course).

We would inevitably have global variety & difference in structures. It’s interesting that, in my neck of the woods, it’s often proposed that the druidic role (& possibly Celtic Shamans) in ancient Ireland was occupied by homosexual men. Irish myth & some Classical commentators also mention female druids. It was a position of great influence & power within communities.
Pre-state & proto-state structures placed a great deal of emphasis on defence as a determining factor in social power dynamics. Members of the community would participate in political power, and have a greater voice in affairs, if they shared the onus of community/tribal defence (back to Amazons again!).
It’s striking how, in the Paleolithic & Neolithic eras, the elderly & female children were more likely to be abandoned & exposed by subsisting groups. Such infanticide was extremely common. Anthropologists have calculated that 50% of female newborns were killed by their parents during the Paleolithic era. Survival & what the environment could support were deciding considerations.
This has disturbing parallels in the modern age, with the one-child policy. Daughters are disproportionately impacted, as they are traditionally seen as less able to support themselves, as compared to sons. Since the introduction of the one-child policy, infant girls are far more likely to be killed than boys.

In another life Murray would be comfortable justifying putting jews in death camps or africans in slave ships. This is the man who compared educational data from apartheid SA and coal miners in nigeria to 1st world white children in order to prove the intellectual inferiority of Blacks.
To call Charles Murray a racist would be an insult to racist. He is somthing far worst. And anyone who agrees with him is trash as well.

@8guage
Logical fallacy much?
