Hey don't want to go to the trouble of registering on the gnxp forum, but this is an interesting study relating IQ to IGF-1, which I think is also related to myopia. I don't see why some parents wouldn't shoot their kids up with it.

rob, and anyone reading this, please don't do that again. if you can't go to the trouble of registering (hey, it takes 60 seconds of your precious time if you don't have a yahoo account), email me the link. you can do what you like on your own blog, but if you want this blog to have open comments than we need to have a certain adherence to the rules & regs. threads almost always go off-topic, but it is best if the first few comments actually related to the post.

razib,

Am I to understand that you are in favor of a millet system for muslims in Germany? The article--as I read it--seems to state that German multiculturalism, in attempting to turn a blind eye toward the partial subjugation of women is in effect establishing a quasi-millet system. Either I'm misunderstanding the millet system (highly possible) or I'm misunderstanding your semantics (also highly possible).

TIA
