Snyfthistorien om James Watson som tvingades sälja sin nobelprismedalj för att han behövde pengar och var utfryst av stora delar av den vetenskapliga världen puttrar ostört runt på internet nu. Här är några bevingade citat av humanisten, ateisten och Richard Dawkins vän James Watson och anledningen varför han blev ensam och fattig: I turned against the left wing because they dont 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. - Whenever you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know youre not going to hire them. - People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great. - [I am] 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. He went on to say that despite the desire that all human beings should be equal, people who have to deal with black employees find this not true. - 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. - “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” - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Watson
