How to keep flies away from our picnic

I may have caused a little stir recently within the International Society of Intelligence Research (<a href="https://isironline.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">ISIR</a>). I was asked to deliver a keynote lecture at their annual <a href="https://isironline.org/2022/01/22nd-annual-isir-conference-vienna-july-25-27-2022/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">conference</a>. A few colleagues warned me beforehand that ISIR was regarded by some to be a controversial society, because it also attracted some malevolent figures that were a little too interested in race differences in IQ. Like flies to a picnic. I do notice their presence and usually try to ignore them. Since long before I discovered these darker corners of intelligence research, I found <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_intelligence" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">intelligence</a> to be an intriguing human trait. Although it is only one of many aspects that make us human, our intelligence has been a major contributor to the success of our species and has helped us make many exciting discoveries about who we are, where we came from, and where we could be going. I did not want the thought of some potentially racist figures being interested in the same trait, for different reasons, make me stop being fascinated by intelligence, or stop interacting with other intelligence researchers. <a href="https://a-abdellaoui.medium.com/how-to-keep-flies-away-from-our-picknick-7867151f6e69">Visit Now</a>
