Update

The DNA article is now the 2nd most emailed article on the nytimes website, and the 7th most blogged about.

half sigma has some more comments on the issue in response to his new readership.

Steve Sailer is less optimistic. Understandably so, since he's been around for most of the HBD movement and has seen little penetration into modern discourse.

We shall see. Maybe I was a little hyperoptimistic. But again, this understanding will gradually penetrate society. We won't be able to proclaim victory at a certain point in time.

However, this is a step in the right direction and the speed is even accelerating. I suppose I have to keep blogging for now!

Update:

Yeah, the reaction was a little overblown and premature. It's sometimes easy to underestimate the power of entrenched beliefs.

Don't despair, though. It's just a question of time when this information gets out. Hopefully we don't have to wait the 15 years for gene sequencing to finish.
