Proactivity vs. Reactivity in Self-Improvement

In today’s episode we explore the theme of "Race and IQ" and whether or not different racial groups have different levels of innate intelligence.
Sowell explored this subject in depth in his 2013 book “Intellectuals and Race."
Joining me to discuss this controversial topic is Professor Nathan Cofnas, who has written extensively on this subject.

I highly recommend you read the following to get the most out of this episode:
1) "Intellectuals and Race" by Thomas Sowell (of course you should read it!)
2) "A Guide for the Hereditarian Revolution" by Nathan Cofnas
3) "Thomas Sowell's Wishful Thinking About Race" by Nathan Cofnas.
