The NY Times discusses how the world's pre-eminent experts on bias discovered their own biases. The Society of Personality and Social Psychology was confronted with the fact that it is 80% liberal in a nation that is 40% conservative in a speech by Dr. Jon Haidt.

Among Dr. Haidt's points, I was pleased to see him point out the disgusting shunning of Larry Summers for wondering whether the preponderance of male math professors had to due with IQ variance rather than discrimination - a powerful hypothesis with substantial evidence to support it, but not one that was acceptable to the community.

Also notable was his reference to Thomas Sowell's book "A Conflict of Visions", which is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in understanding the never-ending conflict between liberal and conservative.
