Richard Lynn, RIP - 93 Years Of Truth - Telling
Psychologist/researcher Richard Lynn has just died at the advanced age of 93...
He was both famous and infamous for his research into race and IQ, because when the answers to scientific questions turned out to be not Politically Correct, he would publish them anyway, rather than trying to explain them away, or bury them for years, as Robert D. Putnam did when he discovered diversity is not strength.
Lynn published four articles with us:
- Richard Lynn on a Century of IQ in Britain and the U.S.
- IQ and the Wealth of Nations: Richard Lynn Replies to Ron Unz
- John Harvey’s Race and Equality: The “Standard Social Science Model” Is W-R-O-N-G
- Race Differences, Immigration, and the Twilight of the European Peoples

... Richard is, of course, best known for IQ studies. He was fascinated by IQ differences not just between individuals, but between groups, regions, nations, races, and the sexes. Probably no one since Francis Galton has looked more deeply into the causes and consequences of the unequal distribution of intelligence.

By the late 1960s, he was already wondering why certain groups seemed to build better societies than others, and was impressed by Arthur Jensen's famous 1969 Harvard Educational Review paper on black-white IQ differences....
Over the years, it was natural for Richard to go on to become the world's foremost expert on the IQs of different nations...
Richard was never afraid to follow the science, no matter how scandalous the destination. His 1996 book Dysgenics: Genetic Deterioration in Modern Populations, is a calmly irrefutable explanation of why the human genetic stock is deteriorating and what this means....
Richard never concealed his bleak outlook for the world:
I am very pessimistic about the future of the West. I think there are four problems. First, our populations are declining because we have below replacement fertility in all Western nations. Second, we have dysgenic fertility . . . .
Third, most Western countries have been experiencing massive immigration of non-Western peoples who will eventually become majorities...
Fourth, in the world as a whole, there is much higher fertility in the low IQ countries. The effect of this is that the world’s IQ is deteriorating genetically and there is every reason to expect that this deterioration will continue for many decades...
