It should be noted that Rushton, whom NDD apparantly worships, was disciplined at his university for harassing people at a nearby mall asking them such classy questions as “how big is your penis when erect”, “how many sexual partners do you have”, and “how far do you ejaculate”?
In short, he’s a crank whom no one, except apparantly NDD takes seriously.
Those could be scientifically relevant questions.
But not relevant to IQ. :rolleyes:
Does he count as “Oriental”? (The Romans would have said so, I suppose.)
Well, they’re relevant to IQ because his central thesis is that racial groups use evolutionary strategies that trade off sexual prowess (mostly in the form of penis size) with intelligence. Supposedly, blacks are oversexed and dumb, asians are undersexed and smart, and whites are a happy medium.
How else is he going to verify his theory if he can’t go down to the mall and ask people about their penis size? Hmmmm?
He can’t be, he was one of the Founding Fathers !

Who the hell knows this ?!
The previous two are somewhat valid anthropological questions and, well, a researcher can expect most people to be at least dimly aware of the number of people they’ve been fucking over the last few days/months/years ; I would also assume most guys in the Western world have anxiously grasped a tape measure at some point in their teenage years if only out of peer pressure / body image complexes… But who the hell measures how far their splooge goes ? And WHY ? 
You know how deviously clever those Orientals are. Obviously they have invented other ways to reproduce.
Wow.
So by “Oriental,” do you mean Chinese? Japanese? Korean? Vietnamese? Or do you think they’re all exactly the same?
Jesus.

He cheated by resurrecting himself.
And that’s why we need voter-ID laws.
This bears repeating, like all hilarious things.
J. Philippe Rushton again? The guy was exposed as a crank fifteen years ago; people still believe his nonsense?
How was he exposed? What has he said that is not true? The failure of No Child Left Behind to eliminate, or even reduce the race gap in academic achievement provides fresh evidence for what he and Charles Murray have written.
They are members of the same race. I use the word “Oriental,” rather than “Asian,” because an Asian can be an Arab, and they are Caucasians.
Rushton first came out with this sort of thing during his tenure at Western University in the 1990s, most notable in “Race, Evolution, and Behaviour,” his 1995 book. The book’s claims were torn to shreds by actual science in subsequent years, though he found allies in the Canadian white supremacist scene. He’s an obsessive racist, and everything he’s published on the subject has been systematically discredited through the scientific method within a few years of it hitting bookshelves, but he makes moeny off it from people like you, so he keeps writing it.
Well, for one thing he has made the false claim in various talks that the UN, when selecting condoms for distribution to the third world, picked three sizes and ordered the smallest sent to Asia, the middle sized ones sent to “white” regions, and the largest ones sent to Africa. The only problem with his lie is that the UN only specified two sizes and did not actually set any region to receive any particular size. He made it up to promote his Black>White>Asian sex claims.
Hell, if we’re just going with Rushton’s ANECDOTES, his work is full of silly urban myths and misinterpretations of history.
Well, I was aiming for one of his outright lies, but I am certainly willing to dismiss him just on the basis that he has not made a serious contribution to science in years and years.
Ok, then since you think he’s not a crank perhaps you can answer some questions for us.
How large is your penis when fully erect?
How many sexual partners have you had in the past five years?
How far do you ejaculate?
Thanks
How would a sample size of one be statistically meaningful?
Please explain the appropriate method for gathering an accurate representative sample of a racial group.
