Understanding the HBDer

It's important to fully understand where the HBDer comes from. First off it should be noted that a vast majority of HBDers are politically conservative, with libertarianism sprinkled here and there, and the rare liberals. Of course, this is nothing new and even when sociobiology came out most of the supporters happened to be of the conservative persuasion and most of the opponents happened to be of the liberal persuasion. Because of this it's no surprise to see that most HBDers try to use biology to support their political viewpoints, for instance the following sentence from a book... 

"Darwinian biology sustains conservative social thought by showing how the human capacity for spontaneous order arises from social instincts and a moral sense shaped by natural selection in human evolutionary history."

If you browse through some HBD blogs here and there you'll more or less find the idea of the aforementioned quote in HBD blogs applied to various things they deem appropriate.

However, anyone who has looked at the HBD sphere knows that the main obsession of HBDers is race. Race is the center puzzle piece of the HBDers world-view much like the earth being the center of the universe was the center puzzle piece for the Aristotelian world-view. Other obsessions you'll encounter when going through HBD blogs is IQ and various positions each blogger finds appealing like AIDS denialism.

There's more that can probably be said, but for now that's good enough.
