Steve says two things that individualists wouldn’t like:
1) HBD should play a strong role in immigration policy
2) HBD should play a strong role in foriegn policy
The bell curve made a similar statement about #1 and didn’t discuss #2 at all.
I feel like immigration is just going to be the big fault line here. This “treat people as individuals” thing seems fine enough when your high iq ethnic majority is secure, but it kind of seems insane when your importing a new majority of hostile low iq ethnics.
But as Bryan Caplan would say, those people are all individuals too and citizenship is just as arbitrary as race is it not.
If we assume legal immigration (ha ha but bear with me), Rocks could just give applicants IQ tests, say the ASVAB. That's treating people as individuals, from purely practical perspective it's trivial to do, there would be no need for any contentious lumping or splitting, and it would achieve most of what Steve wants from a HBD-aware immigration policy.
