Charles Murray is a New York Times bestseller, political researcher and scholar, and the F.A. Hayek Emeritus Chair in Culture Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.In his latest book, “Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class”, he describes recent developments in genetics and neuroscience that are transforming the social sciences.In this conversation, we discuss his newest book, “Human Diversity” in which he argues that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of this orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: gender is a social construct; race is a social construct; and class is a function of privilege. “Human Diversity” posits that all three dogmas are half-truths that have stifled progress in our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. This topic is one that is highly contested and has become the kind of conversation that gets heated always or ends up with someone getting canceled by someone who disagrees with the ideas that were said on public record. Even though it is not necessary, I feel that I must state the obvious, at least for those who have been listening to this Podcast for the past year: I don't have an agenda in this Podcast other than being curious about our nature, about what makes us us, and about who we are, what we can be, and all that is in between. That, of course, includes our biology.To keep this show's  statement of purpose truthful, I decided to interview three different brilliant minds who are experts in the conversation around the three orthodoxies that are being disputed by Dr. Charles Murray in his most recent book, Human Diversity.  Next week, I'll speak with Angela Saini, author of "Superior", and her position is that race is indeed a social construct. Afterwards, I'll be talking with Dr. Dalton Conley, author of The Genome Factor who, for me, offered a more central approach to this conversation.I hope this "mini series" that will tackle the conversation around our nature as human beings will amplify your perspective on who we are, and more importantly, will make you curious about it so you can interact with all sides of the conversation, rather than only accepting the one that fits with your worldview.Enjoy!---Website: https://www.aei.org/profile/charles-murray/Twitter: @CharlesMurrayBook: Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class---HIGHLIGHTS(3:30) How can we have a meaningful dialogue around difficult topics with people who disagree with you?(8:21) Human Diversity, Proposition #3 (my mistake): "On average, women worldwide are more attracted to vocations centered on people and men to vocations centered on things."(13:30) Shifting the conversation around human biology from a fearful point of view to one that encourages open mindedness.(21:02) Genes, Polygenic Scores and Social Sciences.(30:30) Human Diversity, Proposition #10: “Outside interventions are inherently constrained in the effects they can have on personality, abilities, and social behavior."(36:37) How can human beings achieve deep and lasting satisfactions?---Thanks for tuning in for this edition of Through Conversations Podcast!If you find this episode interesting, don't miss out on new conversations and subscribe to the podcast at any podcast feed you use, and leave me a review.
