This. Whether or not the leftist orthodoxy is correct is irrelevant; many intelligent people will opt to "bend the knee" and obey the status quo. Less intelligent people (as well as some intelligent people who are more radical) will be less concerned about this and speak freely.

Similarly, an intelligent person in 1540's Europe wouldn't typically argue against the Church because doing so would have disastrous consequences.

Yeah, this is nothing new, OP. Low-IQ fundamentalists -- a category which has grown recently to include neo-liberals and leftists -- will hold onto their dogmas until their dying breath. Instead of looking at the evidence and assessing the situation, they will obey their masters and think as they are told. They will never produce any argument aside from

More to the point, we have *no* reason to believe that all races are intellectual equivalent. They must propose evidence that intelligence is not genetic and therefore not tied to race in the slightest. An impossible task, of course. The heritability of IQ is ~0.8, on par with something like height.

What happened to Watson is similar to what happened to Copernicus. The powers that be of the time, which was the church and priestly class, were threatened by his ideas, so they sicked their stupid dogs on him. The neo-liberal establishment's narrative, and subsequently their power, would totally collapse, if we accepted that their ideology was wrong, and that not everyone is fundamentally the same. The useful idiots are doing their part.

Scientific revolutions such as this are always suppressed by the orthodoxy of the time. The sad part about all of this is that, unlike the Copernicus analogy, Watson's thoughts on race and intelligence were common knowledge, not too long ago.
