But true racists are essentialists! They do not update beliefs. Bostrom lives for one thing over all others: to be factually right, all the time about everything. Perhaps human survival o suffering is important for him, but it is obvious that goes in second place.
I don’t know which are his real present prior on the black white IQ gap, but I have no reason to think that he consider it to be wide (because it is not), nor I have any reason to think that he does not update beliefs on personal IQ when information arrives.
In fact given how epistemologically uncompromising he has proven to be, I am more confident than ever in he being even handedly Bayesian on race and everything else.
