Historical or modern?

Or that the modern usage has some scientific basis, and its still being explored?

Short answer - its a subject thats still being explored but has a degree of scientific support, so I see no reason to be mean about it.

Princeton, about ten years ago. I'll dig up the materials tomorrow if you want.

Like I said, I like reading scientific materials.

I think we took very different things from his book then.

Because I took away that there are people who genuinely believe it to be true for them. And since I don't go around referring to people by their race, or interact with people based on their racial identity, I don't have any reason to get myself involved beyond an "OK".
