No he doesn’t. He has had Charles Murray on his podcast twice, I’ve listened to both episodes.
Both of them accepted there are more differences within racial groups than between them. Furthermore, both accepted that environmental factors and systemic racism are contributing factors to mental growth.
Sam actually pushed back on Murray and pressed him on the point of “why care about this at all?” To which Murray floundered and made himself out to be the racist dickhead he is.
Sam was right to challenge him on this point as I’m sure you’ll agree.
For what it’s worth, I’m not riding Sam’s dick. I disagree with him on many things, but I really see this specific issue as really dumb and misunderstood because everyone froths at the mouth the second someone says “race” and “IQ” in the same sentence.
Side note: Murray had such an easy out. He simply could’ve said “to distinguish between the heritability of IQ and environmental factors for the sake of equitable outcomes.”
Instead, he pointed to affirmative action being embarrassing for black students when they can’t keep up with their peers at prestigious universities…
