"...studied the subject thoroughly. How embarrassing to have been such an arrogant young lefty!"
"The goons who shut down Jensen’s talk may have had an influence on my life. It took me 15 years to realize that Jensen was right, and that I and the goons were wrong."

"Until 1967, when he was 43 years old, Arthur Jensen believed that differences in IQ were almost entirely determined by environment...he met a geneticist who persuaded him to study the genetics of intelligence, and this completely changed his views."
"he laid the foundation for a correct understanding of intelligence: IQ tests are valid and reliable, they are not biased against minorities, social mobility means that the genes for high IQ are concentrated in higher social strata, and there is a substantial..."
"...genetic contribution to both individual and group differences in intelligence."
By the way, how can a fair minded person not, in many ways, downright loathe leftwing activist types - vile self-righteous cowards bar none:

"we talked of many things, and I discovered that Jensen was like all genuinely accomplished men I have met: He had striking insights on subjects in many fields, not just his own. Also, he was not angry at his attackers; just baffled. Why couldn’t they just look at the data?"
Prof. Nyborg: “If Art is loyal to data he is entirely unfaithful to theory,” ...“Give Art a proper analysis and good data,” he wrote, “and his mind will follow, entirely independently of his previous views,” adding, “that is far more than one can say for most of his critics!"
Prof. Bouchard: “For someone who has been attacked so vituperatively, both in public and in the published literature, I continue to be astounded at the lack of anger and hostility in his replies and the astuteness with which he dissects the arguments of his critics.”
Jensen’s former students: “the finest examples of college teaching I have ever experienced,” “I cannot imagine a better mentor,” “he showed astonishing patience with his critics,” “the toughest reviewer around,” “his own thirst for knowledge is infectious.”
In 2005, together with Philippe Rushton, Jensen published what I think is the best short, academic summary of IQ research ever written: “Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in Cognitive Ability.”
"The major papers will certainly not admit it, but Arthur Jensen was a great scientist and a man of great dignity, even nobility. In a sane world, he would have been a serious contender for a Nobel Prize."
"That his death should follow so soon upon that of his eminent colleague and friend, Philippe Rushton, only compounds the terrible loss that science — and mankind — have suffered."
#ArthurJensen & #PhilippeRushton were amazing scientists. Having read #JaredTaylor's #AmericanReneissance articles, I see he has an accurate understanding of related biological & psychological sciences. Very intelligent & knowledgable man. #Mainstreammedia portrayal of him is BS.
