Right, which was pretty obvious the minute they got their Bell Curve on. For me, the curious discussion is "is culture an evolutionary adaptation?" I suspect you could probably debate that without involving Jordan Peterson. It isn't necessarily a racist dog-whistle conversation, although I will gladly admit it could go there entirely too easily.

The basic nugget of my thought process was 'can the behavior that leads to vaccine denialism be categorized as heritable?' Because if so, it's clearly maladaptive. Is there a "survival of the fittest" in that chart full of dead white people? 'cuz it sure ain't full of our traditional scions of "western civilization."
