Intellectually fraudulent, utterly ignorant of modern intelligence research, politically biased.

Manny Refreshingly different from most of the other reviews here :) Given your publications, I imagine you're well informed on the subject?

Five stars to "Road to Serdom", you are a middle-class academic, you're a LITERAL neoliberal evopsych guy, etc. etc.


Pablo Stafforini >you are a middle-class academic, you're a LITERAL neoliberal evopsych guy

"Critics of evolutionary psychology and sociobiology have advanced an adaptationists-as-right-wing-conspirators (ARC) hypothesis, suggesting that adaptationists use their research to support a right-wing political agenda. We report the first quantitative test of the ARC hypothesis based on an online survey of political and scientific attitudes among 168 US psychology Ph.D. students, 31 of whom self-identified as adaptationists and 137 others who identified with another non-adaptationist meta-theory. Results indicate that adaptationists are much less politically conservative than typical US citizens and no more politically conservative than non-adaptationist graduate students. Also, contrary to the “adaptationists-as-pseudo-scientists� stereotype, adaptationists endorse more rigorous, progressive, quantitative scientific methods in the study of human behavior than non-adaptationists."



Better luck next time, deleted user.

Yasir Geoffrey please. You are a fraud 🤥. Gould has mostly been vindicated in his criticisms as layed out in this book. Stop being such a piece of garbage. You make me vomit 🤮.
