You can not even begin to solve a problem if it is forbidden to talk about the causes. You observe the vast human tragedy that is the third world. You want to do something about it. That's good and noble, I guess. (I think there is something unhealthy and wrong about putting foreigners above your own people. But that's another matter.)

But then you have to have an accurate map of the territory. How did the third world get this way? Even Curtis censors himself more than he once did on UR. UR would tell you that colonialism was actually pretty grand, how the rule of liberal democracy has produced what you see now, etc. And even UR would never bring up IQ... uh can we even talk about that here?
But the EA bros can't think these thoughts at all. They collect bandaids for a stabbing victim and brag about how much blood loss they prevented. They can feel satisfied that they Did Something and Made An Impact(TM).
You aren't going to bring civilization to outer space if you can't even get it to all of Earth's continents.
My gut is that, at minimum, it would be gauche to bring up IQ, and especially IQ patterns here. Save that for iSteve.
However, I see hints that suppression of such talk is growing less focused. For example, there is a particular psychometric text that has long had certain pages excluded from Google Books. Some content manage at Google had been very precise in her censoring. I was able to purchase the text online, but the only retailer that came up on the first page of Google results was in Europe - the link to Amazon had been deranked to the second or third page of results.
I checked recently, and found that the pages had been restored to Google Books, and the Amazon link is now on the first page of of results (in second place). They're just not working at it quite as hard.
