My argument here is thus similar to Zimmerman's claims: that differences likely exist, and may be relevant across populations, but in most cases race is probably too weakly predictive (versus other accessible variables) to be relevant in individual cases.
That's what Watson and others were saying though, is that the differences might be important when you're dealing with population and nation level policy making. If it were true, it could have implications for Africa's development and the policies the West should apply when dealing with African nations, or how African leaders should act in regard to their own people.

I agree with you of course that race can never be used to evaluate an individuals ability.

Don't you people know already?

The New World Order is coming.

That's globalism, the destruction of nation states.

zstar= conspiracy theorist of BOS.
New World Order isn't a conspiracy theory. It's an eventuality.
At this point in time civilisation is garuanteed to progress to either a world government united by common humanity, or an apocalyptic nuclear war that destroys the last thousand years of progress.

True. But more appropriately perhaps, the New World Order is already here. Now, more than ever are political leaders calling for a 'one world government', 'new world order'.

Also, the way you said that: 'The New World Order is coming' may come across to those unfamiliar with reality as a conspiracy.

i think there is a clear and huge difference between Nationalism and Racism. But not to worry because both will be inconsistent soon, the next latest model is Global Governments, i hope we have a global government were we all work together, dig together, and drink together and look after one another.....International Socialism coming to a world near you:D
