Smart As A Dick

Daniel Koffler recently wrote a couple of posts on this blog regarding the pseudo-debate on "racial IQ." (Here's whyit's pseudo-.) I can't say that the many comments in response to hispost have made me feel any easier about the vulgarization of science.Of course, society doesn't need most people to understand evolution (orany other scientific fact) very well or indeed at all to function -atleast, to function as it does now. I believe that we're indeed headedtowards a society where most people won't have even a very basicscientific literacy -take evolution, for example. While most of ourtop-notch researchers have more important things to do than educate themasses, the other side, fiercely representedin the popular media, has plenty of communicators whose entire time canbe devoted to finding more persuasive ways to convince the generalpublic of the untruth, since they don't need to waste any preciousmoment in doing, well, research.

But I cannot remain silent on some of the responses Daniel's post received. For I feel some of our readers' suffering,and I want to reassure them. To those of you who have made the highlyscientific and statistically accurate discovery from their passage inthe male changing rooms of the gym that "black people's pee-pees arelarger," and who thus had to deduce that this enlargement of the penileregion of the Black male necessitated, nay, demanded a compensation inthe same quantitative terms of their own (i.e., the small-dicked whiteman's) intelligence, here's a beacon of hope in your penis-pump filled night: Jewcy's fave Dr Ruth reassures you on the relative importance of your manhood's size and offers this important piece of advicefor all you out there who think Blacks are genetically determined to bestupid and have a big dick: "stop blaming your penis, and startsocializing and meeting young ladies."

Now I hope that you will see that, for metered intelligence or dick, it's not how much you have, it's how well you use it.
