AmRen - Interview with a Pioneer: Richard Lynn - "Western Civilization will probably survive in Eastern Europe and Russia and in Israel, at least for a while, as these countries are fairly successful at preventing the immigration of non-Western peoples. ... China will replace the United States as the world superpower."



Lynn
Richard Lynn reflects on a career of discovery
 and controversy.
Richard Lynn is one of the great, pioneering psychologists of our time. Like other giants in his field, such as Cyril Burt, Hans Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, and Philippe Rushton, he has pursued truth rather than popularity. This has led to findings that today’s orthodoxy denies: that there is a substantial genetic contribution to individual and group differences in intelligence and other traits. No other psychologist has studied the nature and implications of these differences more extensively than Richard Lynn.
Prof. Lynn is the author of 15 books, of which American Renaissance has reviewed Dysgenics,IQ and Global InequalityThe Chosen PeopleRace Differences in IntelligenceThe Science of Human Diversity, and Eugenics.
In this extensive interview, Prof. Lynn looks back over an astonishingly productive career, and warns of the dangers in store for the West if it continues to deny individual and group differences.
