Which of the world's hardest problems can be solved merely by gathering more data? Why are social problems harder to solve than biological problems? How should power between business owners and unions be balanced? Why do people so often misinterpret research results — sometimes even to the point of concluding exactly the opposite of what the results show? What heuristics should people use when reading research papers? How are culture wars affecting the reliability of research? Should there be any limits on what can be researched and published? When might left-leaning researchers actually end up causing harm to the groups whose causes they're trying to defend? How much does it matter that we know what sorts of traits are heritable? How important is IQ for predicting life outcomes? In what kinds of situations is skill more important than IQ, and vice versa? Is there value in knowing your own IQ?
