Dear Mr. Thiel,You have stressed that real progress comes from technological innovation, not endless social programs or redistribution.Yet persistent racial gaps remain. Lower-income areas are disproportionately Black and Hispanic. Black Americans score about 15 IQ points lower than Whites on average and commit murder and robbery at 7–8 times the White rate—even after controlling for income and education. These gaps have resisted decades of welfare, schooling, and job training.Twin, adoption, and genomic studies show that IQ and behavioral traits like impulsivity are 50–80% heritable. The Black-White differences persist even when children are raised in similar environments, pointing to genetic factors rooted in different racial ancestries.If these group differences are partly innate, policy must move beyond failed race-blind assumptions and confront biological reality.Real progress demands clear-eyed thinking about human variation. Sustained zero-to-one innovation has historically required populations with high average cognitive ability and the cultural traits that enable trust, cooperation, and long-term orientation. Large-scale demographic shifts that dilute these preconditions risk locking society into permanent stagnation rather than definite optimism. Technology and policy should therefore be grounded in empirical reality instead of egalitarian dogma.High-trust White communities with shared standards have always driven the innovation you champion. Americans have a legitimate interest in preserving them.I recommend Jared Taylor’s “Basic Facts About Race in 13 Minutes” for a clear summary. Please consider donating to Jared Taylor to help champion a solution to mass mongrelization.Thank you for confronting hard truths.
