An even wider-ranging indictment of the basic tools of statistics, data science, machine learning, and the concept of "intelligence" than I'm familiar with. Even the concept of a linear regression evokes an implicit normative judgement, that human difference is all quantifiable and sameness is desirable — when those things are demonstrably untrue. But more to the point these fields were *initally developed* by eugenicists.
