I understand that they hold that view, and I am not trying to argue in favor of my own opposing view. What I'm saying is that, inasmuch as I do hold an opposing view (which is also tied in with political ideology, identity politics, and so forth), I'm really unlikely to be persuaded to change my mind on the basis of DNA evidence for intelligence. And I'm arguing that nearly everyone is just like me in this respect (again, modulo their own political views).
Would learning that your favorite presidential candidate had genes predisposing him to being a sociopath make you less likely to vote for that candidate?
I wrote an article for h+ predicting that the rapid fall in the cost of gene sequencing will allow U.S. voters to learn much about presidential candidates' DNA. The candidates won't be able to stop this because:
DNA analysis has a decent chance of reducing political bias by providing objective information about candidates. If, for example, 70% of the variation in human intelligence is determined by identified genes then DNA analysis would reduce disagreements among informed voters over a candidate's intelligence.
