"I only read this once... maybe I missed it. But I could not really see where you an CAS disagreed."

I'd say the two key points of disagreement we had were that:

1. Many people, including researchers like Charles Murray, don't make the claim that IQ differences are genetic and infer from that "black" genetics will lead to less intelligent people.

And 2. That one can define a meaningful population group, genetic or otherwise, based solely on skin colour.

Both of these are uncontroversially wrong.

I must admit that I was also finding it a bit tiresome to have him explaining things to me that I'd already explicitly written in the article, and the implication that I hadn't done my due diligence on people like Muray before writing an entire article about race and IQ, but that's a separate issue😅
