Danish genetic researcher, Emil Kirkegaard, had a recent study asking 500 Americans what they considered to be the greatest taboos. Racial hereditary and IQ disparities were by far the greatest taboo, beating out incest, p-dophilia, gay germs, and anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, I am very pessimistic about hereditarian thinking being normalized anytime soon, and
Mayorkas, Yellen, Blinken, Garland, Zients, Haines, Kagan, Nuland, Kristol, Jared, etc. It is perfectly reasonable to lay the problems of our current society at the feet of the Jews. They have most of the power. Correlation may not be causation, but you cannot claim that eliminating antisemitism has made the country a better place. There is no intrinsic value that can be claimed. I think our country was a better place when more people were anti-Semitic. Where am I wrong? Clinging to unsubstantiated dogma is not an argument.
The taboo on recognising innate traits/abilities is a self-imposed Western hang-up that hobbles the US in competition with more honest or realistic states. How affordable this is over the long-term remains to be seen.
DeSantis makes anti-Semitism legislation his highest priority and flies to Israel to sign it. Not an issue for 98 percent of his supporters. Red states are passing antisemitism legislation without any demand from their voters. South Dakota literally has a 250 Jews.
There's a potential issue with the phrasing of the question. Respondents may have answered according to what they thought was the greatest societal taboo, not according to their own personal taboos.
Given the advance of both DNA tracing and AI’s ability to query ever-broader information sources, it will be interesting to watch the contortions of the anti-hereditarian cohort as they try to mask reality. Racial cohorts have different IQ potential. As Sailer notes, this is “the most documented finding in the history of the social sciences.” The longer the anti-h nonsense continues, the greater the fall of “experts” in the minds of the public. We ALL can see this on a daily basis, both in ability to think and capacity to think quickly. We are NOT “all created equal,” and differentiation at the macro level between racial cohorts is undeniable. Except to the - LOL - “experts.”

Good stuff, Robert!

statistics is really a sort of astrology
pop science for non numerate people
linear regressions as seen in the last series of twitter figures extrapolate from such noisy data they truly are meaningless
