I used to be one of those brainwashed Marxist idiots back in those days. I slowly and painfully emerged from the fog in the late 70's thanks in part to the perseverance and fearlessness of great men like this. Shockley is looking more and more like a prophet as time goes on.
Dr. James Watson suffers the same Marxist attacks today. Dr. Shockley was the Nobel Laureate for transistor & semi conductor research. Dr. James Watson is the Nobel Laureate for DNA research. Both of these minds changed the world as we know it... Semi Conductor? DNA? HUGE for humanity... Stupidity hates Intelligence, hates logic, hates math, hates science, hates statistics, hates history.
Thanks for posting. Wow, Shockley must have hit a REALLY soft spot with a lot of those people. Barely anyone applauded for him at the end (unlike the other speakers I've listened to on this channel) and the moderator just said "goodbye" to him instead of the common "thank you very much for coming" farewell. Even George Lincoln Rockwell (The American Nazi Party founder) was applauded and given more respect than Shockley was here! Race differences today are still taboo over 40 years later! The truth still hurts. Great series. Thank you for the uploads.
Yeah he supported racism and Hitler. The man was debated and lost the debate. He was wrong. He should have stuck with Physics. He is ignorant on gentics and IQ.
@@suzannebaxter2365 - You're a #dipshit The decline of America coincides with 1968 Civil Rights. Straight down the toilet since. The "Good Guys" lost WW2.
@@suzannebaxter2365 Wow, even a talk this old gets trolled by a brain washed idiot who has lost any capacity for critical thinking, if you even had the capability in the first place. Do you even know what you mean specifically when you say Dr. Shockley supported 'racism'? How is it that you define the 'racism' that you proclaim Dr. Shockley "supported"? I guess you would say the same thing about Dr. MacDonald and his many years of unbiased research that clearly point out the fact there are many differences between the races and the over-abundance of evidence suggesting a hierarchy in intelligence levels - or is that racism, too? You are either non-white or a damaged white. Either way, your ignorance is alarming and a huge part of what is wrong today in our failed experiment of multiculturalism and diversity. As the white man falls, civilization falls with it. You start a sentence with "'yeah" and you are flat out incorrect in saying he is "ignorant" on genetics and IQ - it is the complete opposite and you know it. You also spelled genetics incorrectly, but I doubt you care. You seem to be a sub-par dullard. In fact, your comment makes you sound like a jackass or a hasbara troll.
I simply don’t understand why eugenics is so controversial. As a society, we apply and remove selective pressures all the time, however, it’s typically done without any foresight or intention which can have disastrous consequences. People become completely irrational when talking about race or intelligence. It’s blasphemous to the secular religion that rose to prominence in the 1960’s.
Eugenics is controversial,Because EVERY person is a individual entity who has something to contribute,The alternative in my humble opinion is,Boy's from brazil shit!
It has been said; "If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room". Dr. Shockley is the smartest person in this room that has a lot of idiots in it!
The black person is talking about how great Timbaktu was, it's similar to how Indians say their civilization was great, but in reality, none of these had generous benefits, what a coincidence?
He was ahead of his time. He predates Rushton and The Bell Curve. That's what objective observation can result in. The glorious truth despite if it hurts others feelings. This is a pearl before swine. It's a shame he wasted his time on these kids. I have a feeling that some who attended feel ashamed how badly they disrespected this great man, and that they matured to see he was correct.
There was nothing "hateful" about what he said. He was a man of science who followed the evidence, and we have decades of experience that demonstrates that he was not mistaken.
Born to earn mothers a welfare check, the demographic with an average 85 IQ that are ravaging American cities and overwhelming the justice system prove Shockley prophetic.
@@DTreatz I have never seen any studies addressing this question. My best guess is that for the portion of IQ that's encoded in one's DNA, the biological Mother and biological Father would have equal influence. For the portion of IQ that comes from external environmental factors, the primary parent (in most cases the Mother) has the greater influence.
@@DTreatz Although there are differing opinions on this matter, about 80% of one's IQ is encoded in one's DNA while the remaining 20% comes from external environmental factors.
@@thenietzschean4072 It depends on the society. In an ideal society, 100% of IQ would be genetically determined, because everyone would reach their full genetic potential.
I can't believe they are letting people comment on this subject, Hahaha they usually turn off comments. We as in the four main races, are different. And until we all admit it we will live apart and fight with each other. Each race is beautiful and unique in its own way. We are traveling through space on a rock at thousands of miles per hour. We are traveling in a Galaxy amongst thousands of other galaxys. So enjoy life we are only here, if lucky, for 100 years.
I have several family members in the iron workers union in Indianapolis. I tell people my family are iron men who built Indianapolis. Uncle Paul was Union President three years. At a family reunion I was speaking to a couple cousins in the union. It seems pretty dangerous to weld I-beams at 1,000 feet up, it would scare this pencil necked desk jockey, ha ha. They said they work paired up with safety lines and they tie up with family. If no family are available they shout out "hey, anyone here that doesn't have a partner who does drink booze?" However if there are sober native Americans they prefer to tie up with them on a job rather than even family as they have excellent balance on the job. Uncle Leo was sipping coffee and nodded his head, "Indians move like Panthers on steel." This guy Schockley is an educated moron, a second rater. The idea his mother had good nutrition, sleep and low stress and his parents weren't drunks did not have an effect is not brought up. Blacks at enlistment boards with good eyesight? They play more basketball outside, rather than reading Harry Potter book. Duh. Glad this educated idiot was able to focus on something and make a brake though for mankind. However he doesn't have adult rational creative thinking. Sad.
The "Pygmalion Effect" study that one student was talking about around 47:15 does not replicate. Replication is the final step in the scientific method.
For the awful way humanity has declined by the year 2022 Dr. Shockley was 100% correct . And those ignorant students should have showed him more respect.
The last third of this video where it's a "Q&A" session, except the students are clearly unrattled by Shockley's gene-IQ premise and they're grasping at straws to undermine it. If things like physicality and mental disorders can be transmitted through genes, why not intellectual fitness too?
How do we empower people instead of destroying through them welfare? How do we correct the issue that 70% of African-American children are fatherless? We must be objective in order to improve the lives of all people, whites, and blacks inclusive.
We saw here an early manifestation of the present day fashion of the cancel culture. Historians will recall earlier episodes in which great men suffered because they dared to promote new scientific discoveries. Those earlier episodes held back human progress - we should have learned not to repeat them.
Also, I'm revisiting this video a year later -- people generally are upset about talk on genetics and the implications regarding intelligence, beauty, hereditary disorders, and so forth, because we cannot change what we are born with.. yet. Currently all that is left to pure chance (or God), and so naturally you'll take offence over the realisation of innate differences between people, and the inevitable superior/inferior comparisons. You'll never be pretty as an Olga Kurylenko, or as gifted as a David Beckham; today's prevailing ideology of wokeness, equity, and social justice (which is very Marxist in its origin) serves as a kind of consolation for that ache by placing that burden on social upbringing; of which, the byproduct is obfuscating weakness and ugliness as things to be embraced. If you read up Shockley's biography, you'll believe that he died as a miserable crackpot, estranged and alienated. Little do you realise, he is uncomfortably far ahead of his time. When the age of genetic engineering arrives down the line, read up on Shockley's "eugenic" ideas again, which point out genetic differences between ethnicities.. you'll be surprised how things really change in retrospect.
Eugenics "means very different things to different people; but that's only because evil always takes advantage of ambiguity. I know it is praised of idealism and benevolence; with silver-tongued rhetoric about purer motherhood and a happier posterity." C.K. Chesterton
GK, not CK, for Gilbert. Eugenics works for crops and livestock, and we could not feed anywhere close to 8 billion people without it. I wish Chesterton, who was not a farmer, were alive today so I could ask him why he thought it would not work for mankind as well.
Shockley,If I'm to understand,Believes environment and geographic areas contribute to intelligence,And to some extent,Financial also...Then i would ask is a person who was born in a environment that would dictate using natural resources,To among other things basically survive,I.E. Every aspect of his or her survival would take a vast knowledge of improvisation of the earth's bounty, Yet, A individual who came,Say from a wealthy background,And had opportunity to attend the finest schools for instance,Would unquestionably never survive in the harshest conditions,Like the eskimo could..Therefore,The so called intelligence of an individual is relative!
@1:13:00 this student is referring to slave state empires in Africa. The empires cultural and scientific production was based on or adopted from Arabs, not indigenous African developments. It's not really a shining example of civilization for a leftist to point to 😂
shockley lost his mind in his later years. By the way, he did not even invent the transistor. He took credit for Bardeen and Brattain's work. They were the true pioneers.
Transistor as we know today was indeed invented by D. Shockley in 1951; the earlier one in 1948 by Bardeen and Brattain was not practical, did not have commercial value, like a modified lab toy from 1910.
It is not possible to measure "intelligence" for all people. Consider who creates the questions and the "correct" answers. Also consider questions which have been posed in intelligence tests in the past and you will see that these questions have little to nothing to do with intelligence.
Obviously, you're not intelligent. The tests have been dumbed down to just visual acuity, like, square pegs, round holes and still, there are a race of people who try to force the pegs into the holes.
It is, they make non-cultural tests for IQ, which means it can be administered to anyone. You just don't want to accept the truth. It is what it is, and it's not going away.
IQ is the best predictor of success in life. It is highly correlated with earning. The higher a persons IQ, the less likely they are to murder and be murdered. Divorce, overall stability etc. The data is in, the military gave IQ tests for decades. IQ tests are real and valid.
@1:06:00 and this is exactly the world we live in now, where truths are buried in favor of false historical, scientific, and political narrative. Due to fear, and a misguided sense of morality, we live in a society of emotional mob rule. Everything is upsidedown, ugly is beautiful, decay and degeneracy is strength, etc. Lies will be known as truth in the near future if we don't teach our children otherwise. As long as we bend the knee to no man or ism, we shall remain free.
This guy doesn’t understand anything about genetics. Genes cannot explain psychological differences between groups, only between individuals. Culture and ecology do a much better job explaining differences between groups. Heritability is about explaining variations and for intelligence that ranges from the low 30s to low 70s in percentage, depending on the sample, the kind of intelligence, culture, the measure, and attitude towards intelligence. It’s quite meaningless. Genes play a much bigger role in emotional temperament differences between individuals.
Initially I’d like to thank UCLA for posting this audio. That being said.... it concerns me that the majority of commenters and possibly viewers seem to be directed here by a KKK official. While this may not be the case please understand Dr.Shockley has been ‘betrayed’ by many of his colleagues (and a few of them betrayed by theirs) and his apparent trust issues are only further revealed in these talks. Yes he helped invent the MOSFET, and he did defiantly make it practical as any engineer is required. Dr. Shockley arguments are presented in such a barbaric manner I am more impressed with his resilience to continue speaking. It is as if he just needed one person in that audience to see his vision. I am disappointed with the "solution" this man concocted as an EE, and even further as a fellow human with low melanin levels.
IQ is not scientific; it only can test the ability to pass a test, nothing else. If you take once IQ test, you can improve the score if you take it again. It is like taking SAT, GRE, GMAT again and again. What that would prove? McNamara had 100 percent GMAT score, but he designed the Vietnam war. I have never taken any IQ test whatsoever, but I am a PhD from a leading university of Britain, I taught in both Oxford and Cambridge, a Professor for the last 20 years in Japan, wrote 17 books published by famous publishing companies like Macmillan press, wrote about 80 research papers.
Dipak Basu nothing in psychology is scientific. IQ is meant to measure the inherent ability to cogitate. We get more knowledge as we grow older, but the rate limitation of learning is very much proxied by IQ. We will never learn how to solve our problems if we can't identify them. Shockleys solution might not be the right path, but as it stands, the world refuses to even admit his findings were right. Later researchers verified all of this and then it was quietly swept under the rug. Our emotions are driving us backwards, and eventually it will become so painfully obvious that society might resort to extreme measures. That's why it was our moral responsibility to pursue truth.
Felony Videos Good. Now you exercise your moral responsibility by questioning the validity of the concept of "IQ" to derive a better answer to evaluate people by, on an individual basis
@@williamking595 - I was an engineer at NASA for 20 years, and am now a brain researcher. I know more about the brain than many experts in the field. IQ tests give definite predictions about life outcome, with high confidence.
Destroyed him? She came out sounding like an absolute idiot. Dr. Shockley wasn't just on another level than her, he was on a different plane of existence that she couldn't even imagine reaching. I don't know how he kept from laughing at some of her ramblings.
@YouShouldHaveNoticedDecadesAgo Thats fantasy 😂😂😂😂 During the debate, Shockley presented his views that intelligence is largely hereditary and that African Americans, on average, score lower on IQ tests due to genetic factors (Complete Fiction). He argued that this justified eugenic policies to prevent "genetic deterioration." (More Fiction) Welsing brilliantly countered Shockley's arguments by emphasizing the role of environmental factors (duh) and the systemic oppression faced by Black people (well documented). She argued that Shockley's views were rooted in racist ideology and lacked scientific basis (because its pusedo science). Welsing also discussed her theory of "Color Confrontation," asserting that racism is a defense mechanism used by white people to maintain their genetic survival (something about GrEaT RepLaCeMeNT).. She ended this man's career nobody talked about his as the Father of Silicon Valley anymore and all that nonsense about Eugenics disappeared from public discourse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shockley does not seem logical or very intelligent to me. I'm totally unimpressed. It is "shocking" to me that he got a Nobel Prize for the invention of the transistor.
Cold German Beer Asians. Yes. Asians. Attended jr. high and the Sr. one with many of them in Los Angeles, California, about a couple of dog's ages ago. All in all they're, to be fair and truthful, fairly adept in academics, obedient to the scholastic authorities in charge, assiduously dedicated to high achievement, meek, and have a knack to avoid jail sentencing, in any evrnt. All in all. Mm hm. I can surely attest to all this. And no, they don't complain...much. Just bottle it up inside until the pressure to do so mounts and mounts and....pop pop pop and more pops! goes the semi-automatcs, wily-nilly. Seung-Hui Cho best exemplified this when at Virginia Tech and.....32 died...17 wounded....and yeah you know the rest. He'll certainly be remembered in US History, for a while at least. Kind of made many of us Blacks appear like Mahatma Ghandi in comparison. Don't you just dig, like a grave robber, the way I choose to play Devil's Advocate? (Sorry to have rained on your parade...but I just couldn't resist temptation's mighty powerful allure to contradict you, a lil) Ain't I such an Angel???
Cold German Beer Uh huh. I see you're quick with the segue to back on your deninciatory discourse about us Blacks, naturally. How thoughtful you are of us (if a getting a bit tiresome with it). So if he had a high functioning brain why did Seung-hui do it? What accounted for that? Killing up all you White folks? (Think that was a bit telling), in a highly functional homicidal way? That's the first question I'd like you to answer, wiseguy. What's his excuse you've condone and given your blessing to? Second question is what accounts for you not not being able to bring up the name of a Black Man that did something like that or worse.... no, let me rephrase....the names of several Black people that did what your Asian friend did if we're as bad as all that??? Hmmmmm? I'm talking about in one shooting session murdered as many as your Korean buddy gone bananas did in Virginia Tech. and made the news headlines. Please Explain why you didn't do it. (This I gotta read.)
