Some fallout from my yesterday column on Obama the science-lover:

[1] Try Satoshi Kanazawa on the evolutionary-psychology approach to suicide bombers.

[2] I’m curious about Dr. Kanazawa’s claim, in one of the papers I linked to yesterday, that:

The communist government of [China] has a policy of not letting their brightest students leave the country for fear of the brain drain and of forcing them to study home at Chinese universities. Then it sends the second-rate students to American universities and the third-rate students to British universities, both with falsified transcripts and exam results to make them look first-rate.

Has anyone else heard of this? It’s the kind of policy the ChiComs might practice, but I never heard the allegation made before. Anyone got any data points here?
