Author reversed support for reviving hereditarian race-IQ discourse. Debate on race, genes, intelligence too stagnant to restart now. Hereditarian books unlikely to shatter academic racial taboo. Woke beliefs largely downstream from diverse elite demographics. Rational arguments fail against demographic woke foundations. Jensen's 1969 article claimed racial IQ gaps mostly hereditary via twin studies and relatedness. Jensen's 124-page paper triggered first major race-IQ firestorm. Bell Curve 1994 book exploded controversy with books written about the backlash. Both works extremely long at 124 and 845 pages. Authors held secure positions like tenure or AEI. All had prior career successes. Every author Ivy League educated. Jensen and Murray's racial views previously obscure. Only Herrnstein published on race-IQ before.
