>I was wondering if there were any cogent, scientific arguments to the contrary
The Mismeasurement of Man is the response you're looking for. I haven't read it because frankly I don't care, but it was written as a refutation of the Bell Curve. Which I've also not read.

>broadly speaking, some races are smarter than others. It would be a healthy thing for society to accept this fact sooner rather than later.
Socioeconomically speaking, what would that look like? Presuming that society establishes some form of racial hierarchy and says "okay, these guys are smarter than these guys, and these guys are smartest, and these guys are dumbest" and that's established as some dumbass legislation, what is it you're gesturing towards? Should non-whites not work certain jobs? Or not go to school? Growing up in SoCal, going to college here, working a dozen jobs, being involved in church and other social involvements, racial discrimination is literally the lowest form of discrimination. You couldn't be a bigger idiot.
There are black people smarter than you will ever be.
There are Latinos more proud and loving of their home and culture than youre even capable of feeling.
Somehow in some strenuous and intricate string of events you could very easily owe your life to medical technology developed by people that you call "mudslides". People who devoted their education to help you.

Instead of evading the fact that you're an intellectually lazy piece of shit by pushing everyone but yourself down, why don't you make the effort to be a better person and lift yourself up. I promise you'll be happier for it.

truth is your structure and love is your theory

I feel the more I read the more reactionary I become, but at the same time, the less I like reactionaries.

I think it's based on this photo

quick question, why are pound and eliot considered 'modernist'? I'm reading pound and he uses a lot of classical themes/names in his poems, and it doesn't really seem to fit common modernist elements, more like they were alive at the same time as the movement so historians lumped them all together.
