Part 7/15:
Historically, post-WWII society sought to suppress discussions of race and genetic differences, motivated by trauma and a desire to avoid repeating past atrocities. This led to a consensus—culturally, politically, and socially—that certain subjects were too dangerous, leading to censorship, academic suppression, and social ostracization of dissenting views.
In recent years, this consensus has begun to fracture. Increasingly, controversial questions—such as those involving racial IQ disparities, national pride, or historical narratives—are resurfacing into public discourse. This shift is partly driven by a combination of technological advances (like AI and social media), cultural rebellion, and geopolitical tensions.
