WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF OUR BEHAVIORAL PSEUDOSCIENCE?
Behavioral science ‘went bad’ and became an entrenched pseudoscience in the postwar period. Before then, between darwin and the second world war, psychology sociology and politics were as systematic as the physical sciences.

The biggest lies we face, that cause the failure of our democratic republic and rule of law, is the denial of the reducibility of all social economc and political problems to sex, class, and race differences in intelligence and morality, and morality constrained by personality, and personaly constrained by defect.

–“When out intelligence scale: have become more accurate and the laws governing IQ changes have been more definitely established it will then be possible to say that there is nothing abuut: an individual as important as his lQ, except possibly his morals; than the greatest educational problem is to determine the kind of education best suited to each IQ level; that the first concern of a nation should be the average IQ of its citizens, and the eugenic and dysgenic: influence which are capable of raising or lowering that level; that the greatest problem of democracy is how to adjust itself to the large lQ differences which can be demonstrated to exist among the members of any race or nationality group.”–
