> The book was published by Washington Summit Publishers, a white nationalist publisher. > the Pioneer Fund[1] that has been a long time funder of research by Lynn

His book is published by white nationalists and his research is funded by an avowedly white nationalist fund with roots in eugenics - I think he's -probably- grinding a fairly biased axe here.

According to the SPLC, which is hardly an independent or reliable organisation.

These organisations like the SPLC don't fund scientific research to oppose or rebut the work done by others, they just censor the work and classify it as wrongthink instead.

I also think its a shame that the original post was flagged. I think we are intelligent enough on HN that we can read and interpret information ourselves, without needing to be shielded from controversial statements.

Ironically one of the contributors to IQ declining is that we are so afraid to talk about it, and thus poorly able to consider and implement solutions.

The politics of HN and it's moderators is far left. Expect to get flagged/downvoted/banned if you post anything that conflicts with their world view. It is their way.

The wikipedia page about the Pioneer Fund is fairly damning even if you exclude the comments by the SPLC et al.
