"Race, IQ & Sowell" with Nathan Cofnas, Part 2

This is Part 2 of Episode 40, “Race, IQ and Sowell” with Nathan Cofnas. 

A few weeks after I recorded my original conversation with Nathan Cofnas, which I released in Episode 40, Part 1, I hosted a live conversation with Nathan on X Spaces which opened the floor up to the public and anyone who wanted to get in on the discussion. 

We had a great group discussion about hereditarianism and we got to hear more about Nathan’s thinking on this controversial subject, and why Nathan thinks Sowell gets it wrong on this subject. 

If you were intellectually stimulated by Part 1 of this episode, I think you will like Part 2 as well.

I really enjoy this format of public conversation because almost everyone who wants to speak can, and I get a kick out of hosting and moderating these conversations, so expect more of these in the future.

I encourage you to subscribe to Nathan’s substack and read his three essays which are mentioned in the discussion:

#1) Are smart people superior?

#2) A Guide for the Heredarian revolution, and

#3) Thomas Sowell’s wishful thinking about race

If I sound like a fan of Nathan Cofnas, it’s probably because I am. What I like most about him is not his positions or conclusions but that he gets me to think and rethink my positions on some of Thomas Sowell’s diehard arguments. 

I think they call this critical thinking, or something like that. 

It’s kind of fun once you get used to it.

I hope you enjoy this episode.
