Temperamental Blank Slatists

The conservative who laughs at liberal race rhetoric and nods along as it’s applied to temperamental outputs like art and creativity has not thought carefully about what he’s acknowledging. Both presuppose that a population-level trait gap is an institutional problem solvable by resource allocation.

Both reach for the same remedy and result: equality of outcome via social engineering.

This is woke thinking applied to phenotype gaps. “We need more funding and better institutions to solve social underperformance”… where have we heard this before?

It’s the same prescription Yale and AOC would offer for crime and literacy at inner-city schools. Same rationale, directed at politically favored populations. The rightwing rendition of “purely socioeconomic factors”.

The redpill cites biology opportunistically. The biopill accepts it jurisdictionally. No carve-outs. No sacred cows. Embracing biological reality except where it wounds your coalition is no acceptance at all.

The rightwinger who mocks DEI then demands DEI for art and institutions has not heard himself.
