leo_sosnine | Из Вильяма Шокли

Из смехотворнейшей леволиберальной статьи в википедии про Шокли (изобретатель транзистора и отец силиконовой долины):

Late in his life, Shockley became intensely interested in questions of race, human intelligence, and eugenics. He thought this work was important to the genetic future of the human species and he came to describe it as the most important work of his career, even though expressing his views damaged his reputation. Shockley argued that a higher rate of reproduction among the less intelligent was having a dysgenic effect, and that a drop in average intelligence would ultimately lead to a decline in civilization.

Из последних его выступлений (крайне рекомендую):

Т.е. в 1967 году светлейшим умам уже всё было ясно. Потом был Артур Дженсен, а потом Чарльз Мюррэй и "the Bell Curve". Что я из них почерпнул в сжатом виде изложено в этом выступлении от 1967 года!

Конец был такой:

In 1989 Shockley died of prostate cancer at the age of 79.[46] By the time of his death he was almost completely estranged from most of his friends and family, except his second wife, the former Emmy Lanning (1913–2007). His children are reported to have learned of his death only through the print media.

С другой стороны, нуждается ли в спасении и выживании цивилизация, которая изгоняет пророков? Презираю людишек глубочайше.
