>James Watson, the world-famous biologist who was shunned by the scientific community after linking intelligence to race, said he is selling his Nobel Prize because he is short of money after being made a pariah.
>Mr Watson said he is auctioning the Nobel Prize medal he won in 1962 for discovering the structure of DNA, because "no-one really wants to admit I exist".
>Auctioneer Christie’s said the gold medal, the first Nobel Prize to be sold by a living recipient, could fetch as much as $3.5m (£2.23m) when it is auctioned in New York on Thursday. The reserve price is $2.5m.
>Mr Watson told the Financial Timeshe had become an “unperson” after he “was outed as believing in IQ” in 2007
Wasn't the left marching "for science" the other day?

Oh god to think hes still alive, only to suffer after presenting his findings. I guess its a good thing hes pretty old now so he wont have to see the world fall apart

A lot of invisible pressures in any field really, and a scientists most valuable currency is reputation, credibility, so political correctness plays in, you know what you ought to focus on and not.

Going to spam this as a reply to all of the stupid ass memes about Bill Nyes qualifications. Pol should be chipping in to help this man instead of allowing some Obama to snatch this one up too.

You really think Sup Forums can raise millions? Besides, after the medal sells he will have enough money for the rest of his lifespan.
its sad how fucking obvious it is that races arent equal. literally every sign point to this. you really need to be indoctrinated to believe in equality
The mere concept of something being equal is a commie wetdream

>shunned by the scientific community More like the media. It's not like other scientists haven't come to the exact same fucking conclusion. But if you're not a member of the cult of diversity, not even conservative media will accept you because that means you're not in favor of their jewish masters receiving free labor.
Elijah Morris
This makes me angry. Democrats push themselves as being the most scientifically progressive but they ignore clear evidence and distinctions such as this.
I mean seriously? Evolution affected every animal on earth BUT humans? We were just allowed to ignore it?
>"but we're all equal!"
Explain to my why black countries and even the natives in America could progress beyond the Stone Age despite living the easy mode areas. Fucking retards

they only care about science that is philosophical and political in nature and that can be backed up more by individual emotional feelings rather than actual scientific study.
Brandon Bell
This happened 3 years ago, why are you posting about it now? Also some Russian businessman bought it and gave it back since he thought it was a shame he was compelled to sell it.
Adrian Thomas
I think I was, maybe poorly, just making an observation how science isn't impervious to politics, or ideology, you just kinda know that there are certain angles you shouldn't investigate if you want to have a career, then there's funding and all of that too, which plays in.
It's also just more subtle, and mostly done by omission. I also think that's the way propaganda these days is done by the big players, when it isn't just outright lies, it's what they OMIT in a story that you should look for, or think about.
William Cooper
God bless that ruski.
Samuel Russell
My respects to that russian hope the man get to show his finding and help us stop the science of "feelings"
Jaxon Edwards
Their definition of "science" is sci-fi movies.
Eli Russell
He said that intelligence was heritable, and that genetic groups had distinct average intelligence. In other words, that intelligence has a racial component. He was basically kicked out of the academy for that. If you think science isn't massively subject to politics, you're out of your minds.
Wyatt Clark
Some Russian oligarch bought it and gave it back. This is old news, m8.

Jayden Richardson
damn you for being correct
Jordan Brooks
damn i had no idea how based this guy was! check out some of these real quotes from his wikipedia article:
>I turned against the left wing because they don't like genetics, because genetics implies that sometimes in life we fail because we have bad genes. They want all failure in life to be due to the evil system >If you could find the gene which determines sexuality and a woman decides she doesn't want a homosexual child, well, let her >Whenever you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know you're not going to hire them >People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great >Anyone sincerely interested in understanding the imbalance in the representation of men and women in science must reasonably be prepared at least to consider the extent to which nature may figure, even with the clear evidence that nurture is strongly implicated >He says that he is “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really”, and I know that this “hot potato” is going to be difficult to address. His hope is that everyone is equal, but he counters that “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”
also check this out. he sold the medal for 4.1 million but then:
>The medal was subsequently returned to Watson by the purchaser, Russian tycoon Alisher Usmanov, who stated that Watson deserved the medal and that it was "unacceptable" that he should be compelled to sell it
BASED FUCKING RUSSIA!!!!!

what an amazing man, and what a based russian too
Adrian Richardson
He didn;t say that you mong. he said, and I quote
> there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so.
He later recanted the statement and called it one of the greatest mistakes in his life. He also said being racist is one of the worst things you can be.
Adam Turner
i was just reading about alisher usmanov on wiki and he really is based. he used to be a national uzbeki fencer and he donates philanthropy money to promote the fencing art and keep it alive. he also supports putin so i automatically like him

he only recanted it because he was literally ostracised.
Literally fucking everyone knows intelligence is inheritable. Its not a fucking secret.
Austin Lee
His remorse for the statement and for being racist seem to be financially and academically motivated though. He's mad he's poor and not respected. That doesn't make what he said wrong, it just means he's not getting paid for saying/thinking it, which is a real shame since it proves that we might restrict actual scientific discovery due to the political fallout that would accompany a revelation.
This makes no sense, all colleges and universites have accepted what he said as fact because scores required to enter and lower for blacks and higher for asians.
The majority of black sin college and universities now would not be there if the standards they had to reach were the same as whites or asians.
Mason Russell
It's as if genetics aren't a random lottery. This might explain why children look like their parents!
Brody Sanders
a russian guy already did
Julian Roberts
De jure, they haven't. Like has been mentioned upthread, they blame the system for "Disadvantaging" minorities to explain the score discrepancy.
Which of course is fucking bullshit because they're no such net for whites in poverty.
Samuel Gomez
Old story with a happy ending. A Russian Billionaire bought the medal and personally handed it back to him. Shut SJWs and Niggers up for good.
Poor white people are fucking retards pal, just listen in on any conversation next time you're around them.
Poverty causes retards, look at the South. (They still think they won)
Oliver White
of course not. usmanov is worth 15 billion. 4 mil is nothing to him

Yeah, but they're not skating into good colleges on retard scores like other minorities, which is my point.

True that. If it were really about "disadvantages caused by economic disparity" they'd let trailer trash whites get those scholarships and lowered barriers of entry. But no, somehow Cletus from Bumfuck Nowhere, West Virginia is institutionally more advantaged than Jamal from Compton.
Thomas Hernandez
>only to suffer after presenting his findings He didn't present anything though. There were never any experiments done, no papers published, nothing. He literally just said that Blacks are stupid and that anyone who's worked with them can attest to that. Discovering DNA doesn't turn you into an expert on everything, specially if you don't bother with running experiments.
Isaac Lopez

Exact wrong thread for that fable.
Josiah Diaz

Joseph Price
I don't fucking understand this. I thought one of basic ideas of liberalism was to separate the person from their background and personal beliefs and to treat them on what they gave to society. This man's DNA discovery changed medicine forever, yet he's being shunned because he conducted research and came up with results that made people uncomfortable whether or not the results are correct. This is fucked up. This is literal thought policing.
Levi Barnes
science is whatever liberals like. hate speech is everything else.
David Allen
Not condoning the situation, Nigel, it's just a reality. And one worth keeping in mind, it's very often that people bring up a study or something in an argument, and then that's supposed to be it, the final word has been delivered, a study has occurred, and its scientific no less!
In an interview with some "scientist" here in Norway, who had a lot of studies done on trans-people, when she debated "regular people", they really couldn't argument back because people almost have this religious deference to science, and just assume that if there are studies, and experiments, then thats the final word. (which of course on closer inspection falls apart, but most never bother to do that)

Answered you own question there. We evolved because we had to deal with the frozen shithole known as Europe. Unbunto stayed the same because there were plenty of bananas and sunshine in his land.
Jacob Bailey
Because it says pretentious things that sound complex but are very easy to understand, so it makes dumb people feel smart. Basically they masturbate to it. Same goes for Bojack Horseman and all those sorts of shows. I wish actual science was being done more often. What ever happened to studying eugenic vs dysgenic traits and considering solutions? We need more men like this. We should help him, not this Kosher shitshow that is the Nobels nowadays.

You obviously have not lived around many blacks.
I came from complete trash and still heaved myself out of it and became fairly successful and high quality. I'm fairly good looking and intelligent despite being abandoned and actively fucked over by all government institutions, having too shit of a life to do well in school, and looked down upon by all races including my own. Most poor whites are poor for a reason, they just should get a little help, they don't know that's not what life is supposed to be like.
