/sci/ - Science & Math

Please no /pol/ or libtard nonsense guys; I hear enough political bickering on the college campus.

I was watching an interview with Charles Murray a few days ago and he commented that cognitive differences between races and gender will become undeniable within 3 years; meaning that the scientific data will become overwhelming and political agendas wont be able to suppress the discussion anymore.
He even comments that there will be astounding levels of cognitive dissonance.

But, more interestingly, he says the data is already available if you know where to look.
Are there any biologists here that can point me in the right direction?
I know the genome hasn't been decoded entirely yet, but where would one follow the research on these topics?

tl;dr: Race/sex differences in cognitive ability; where to find the data?

He's correct to the extent that studying mathematics will increase you're cognitive capabilities by exercising the mind. That doesn't mean you are better than 99% of people. Every mathematician I've met at my uni is a career whore rather than an intellectual. Well, not all, I get along really well with two of them.

It does not assist you in making a logical argument in a topic such as politics, for example.

To do that you should study the history of political thought and then evaluate those views in reference to the current circumstances.

However, one is better off still to study some basic philosophy first in order to pick up on reasoning and how to go about making a coherent argument.

Or just pick up Kant, the reasoning on display in his Critique of Pure Reason is astoundingly dense.

You don't gain the ability to see through the lies of politicians and journalists by studying maths. Nor do you automatically ascend above the rabble.
