"Now he [American social scientist Charles Murray] predicts that advances in
genetics and neurology will lead to the death of egalitarianism within 20
years.

What he calls the "intellectual egalitarianism" of the Left actually is not
about equal outcomes at all, he says. It just "hates the idea that some
people are inherently smarter or more charming [and that you can't change
that] by the right social program or the right liberation of people from
their oppressors." Social engineering can't cure inequality."
