The welfare trait by Adam Perkins

good summary of errors etc in his research at: Criticisms of Adam Perkins and 'The Welfare Trait' (with images, tweets) · PsychologyBrief

he's over now

Would that you were right.
being proven to be fiction-authoring muppets didn't really harm Murray and Herrnstein, though. They still make a living selling their snake oil to the right, with the added bonus of being able to claim that they're targeted by the left for "telling the truth".
Perkins will take the same road.

sorry got that wrong way round, perkins uses experiments with mice to prove unemployed people are workshy, apparently, I havent read that bit

Sheesh, them mice have feckin' evolved fast, last time I looked they didn't have a welfare state, they just scurried aimlessly round and round on wheels. There's nothing like a cage to encourage exploitation and mindless tasks, eh?
