We Are Not Saved

Noticing: An Essential Reader (1973-2023) By: Steve Sailer Published: 2024 458 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A collection of essays from Steve Sailer covering immigration, culture war stuff, and human biodiversity. What's the author's angle? For some, Sailer is a horrible right-wing racist. For others he’s a data-driven contrarian. I mostly fall in the latter camp. Also whatever you think of his opinions, his tone is exceptionally mild. He’s not a fire-breather. Who should read this book? If you’ve been following Sailer forever there’s nothing especially new here. Even if you haven’t previously read all of the included essays (and I believe I was at probably 90%), he’s covering territory which is very well-trod by him in general. On the other hand if you’re only vaguely familiar with Sailer—perhaps you’ve come across his name once or twice, then this is a great summation of his opinions and writings.  Specific thoughts: How important is tone?
