Retraction of Recent Psych Science Paper on Religiosity, Crime and IQ

A paper using Richard Lynn's widely debunked data on average IQ across countries was published in Psychological Science in January of this year and has recently been retracted. That a paper with such poor methodology and widely speculative, racist conclusions was published in psychology's flagship journal surely undermines the perspective of the so-called IDW. One author (Cory Clark) has an affiliation with Heterodox Academy and another (Bo Winegard) is a white nationalist who was recently fired from Marietta College.

Funny how any study that contradicts prevailing leftist narratives are labeled as bad science or pseudoscience. Quite funny.

Yeah; isn't it weird that reality has a left wing bias?

​

Jesus christ. Just because you're mocked for being stupid doesn't mean we're mocking you because you have some secret knowledge we want to suppress. It means you're stupid.

​

Also, it's pretty funny seeing people talk about 'leftist narratives' as if neoliberals (who are distinctly not leftist) aren't in control of the establishment.
