Blacks generate 10 percent of the world’s income?
I don’t think so.
Better check the math; if it were true it would either mean that blacks own almost all the GDP of the USA or that the USA owns almost all the GDP of the world.

The GDP of Black America is $631 billion.

Perhaps top ten is a too liberal estimate. Black America may only be in the top 20 GDP.

Great article! I especially liked how the 12 thick values you list take insights from evolutionary psychology.
As to the means Johnson labels “non-coercive”, I can’t help but wonder: Would a world were people suffer ridicule and social ostracism for their personal choices really be a free world?

I expressed my compliments earlier, but now I’d like to disagree with your point about psychology. Read “The Blank Slate”. There is an inborn “human nature” which includes things like a “moral sense” which society cannot simply erase and replace.
