Strange quotation from Beyondism by Cattell

[Ixtab]

From the preface:

"I am grateful first to many eminent psychologists -- often companions in technical research -- notably, professor John Horn, John Nesselroade, Richard Lynn, Richard Gorsuch, John Loehlin, Alan Welford, James Schuerger, Charles Cloninger, Garrett Hardin, Richard Herrnstein, John McArdle, Gregory Boyle, Arthur Jensen, Ronald Johnson, Joseph Royce, E.O. Wilson, Robert Woliver, C.D. Darlington, W.B. Shockley, Revilo Oliver, Geoffrey Ashton, and Rudalph Rummel, as well as Drs Robert Graham, Nathaniel Weyl, Herbert Eber, Evan Scheier, Wilmot Robertson, Roger Pearson, and john Gillis."

It is a brilliant book; I am just baffled by his description of Revilo Oliver as an eminent psychologist. It must be an error.

[Basil Fawlty]

I'm surprised anyone would still be into this tosh. There should be a section in the V&A reserved for the preservation of Victorian Ideas, perhaps in a formaldehyde suspension.

[Ixtab]

It is either Beyondism (or something similar to it) or no religion for me. Beyondism is the only sane religion I know of.

[Helios Panoptes]

It is peculiar, yes. Unfortunately, there's no way of resolving it because Cattell died.

Barry Mehler is a loathsome piece of human garbage, btw.
