THE WORST THING WE READ THIS WEEK™
This is great and compelled me to subscribe.
BTW - I wrote to Lewis-Kraus about the piece.

Distressing stuff, but I couldn't help but chuckle at this:
"...GWAS results are not "portable"; a study conducted on white Britons tells you little about people in Estonia or Nigeria."
A theory based on an experiment without the possibility of a "control", and that can't replicate it's results if you switch out the people.
Then she throws out the assertion that only a quarter of the inequality is structural/societal. What could she possibly be basing that on?
Fantastic piece, thank you for this!
