But the thesis that Stephens has disavowed is one that Pinker himself very clearly embraces — complete with the same citation of “Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence.” That’s why Pinker is interested in this controversy. https://t.co/c1ZcrQnjK3 — PolitiTweet.org

@tylercowen @ModeledBehavior Right, so let’s say we place a low but non-zero weight on the polling. That is *some* evidence that there is grassroots resistance to opening up. By contrast we can say with high confidence that the President, conservative donors, leading intellectuals, etc. favor it. — PolitiTweet.org
