Joshua Goodman on Cognitive Skills and Life Outcomes

I sincerely hope Mr. Goodman's child isn't left-handed, otherwise he's inevitably going to internalize the negative associations his father has with left-handed people - you can talk about a "little extra attention" all you like, but the kid's going to eventually figure out why he's doing it and come to the conclusion "Dad thinks I'm dumb because I'm left-handed". Maybe one day, scientists will think about the social implications of their research before recommending changes to public policy.

Thanks for the video.
