ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the costs and benefits, and the dangers and opportunities, of each. It examines the feasibility of a worst-case scenario posed by ethnically targeted weapons. The chapter explores guardedly optimistic about ability to recognize the reality of human differences, because the only alternative is to give in to despair. It argues that parents on average have an IQ one point greater than the population mean for the previous generation, and then IQ can change by one-half point per generation, two points in a century, and ten points in 500 years, assuming increased intelligence advantages an individual. Races represent variations on the basic human theme, each containing its own sub themes that mix and intertwine over the course of time. Recognition of the biological reality of race can be a life-and-death matter in prescribing the most appropriate medication. Perhaps nothing can illuminate more clearly the reality of race than the horrific prospect of ethnically targeted weapons.
