National’s decision to stick with Christopher Luxon appears at odds with the wider public, with more voters saying the caucus got it wrong than right.

Thinking About Race and IQ
We seem destined to continue the equality thesis, the persistent gaps in IQ and other test scores behoove us to acknowledge that our efforts have not worked. In some sense, DEI efforts are an admission of that failure, as they seek to reapportion society’s spoils based on race rather than merit.
