Notes -
Been kind of mid-book recently. I've spent some time this week on Intelligence, Race, and Genetics - an interview-format book by journalist Frank Miele, interviewing Arthur Jensen. Jensen is perhaps the best-known advocate of the concept of the heritability of IQ. He comes off in this book as a man who was very sincerely concerned with finding the truth, a scientist in the realest sense. I find this book to be a good introduction to his ideas, perhaps an easier read than The G Factor.
Also been casually, slowly reading Maupassant's Bel Ami. Man. I wish I lived in the Belle Epoque. I'm sure I'd die of tuberculosis but it would be fun while it lasted.
