Hiring the eugenicist

Feels very deliberate. What do you think the game plan was?
None. Cummings just trying to do exactly what he wants, get away with whatever he wants, fuck everyone off, and today he ran into some pushback, thankfully.
You think Cummings is into the old eugenics then?
Posting this so I remember to read it tomorrow. Don't want to annoy myself at this late hour.

Key quote:
Cummings is keen to discount environmental factors in shaping pupil performance and emphasise the primacy of genetic factors.
It wouldn't surprise me. I think he's written somewhere that intelligence is part-heritable.
This is demonstrably true - about half of the variation in intelligence (however you choose to measure it) can be put down to genetics - but it's a very, very, very long way from acknowledging that to supporting eugenics.
