Sounds more like it means shitting yourself.

Which means hide under a desk and pray the office tower doesn’t collapse around you.

You cannot place yourself outside a scientific paradigma claiming to be a neutral observer without bias. Everyone has a bias. The sooner someone like Harris realises that the better.
Here is my view: I think you have a deep empathy for Charles Murray’s side of this conversation, because you see yourself in it. I don’t think you have as deep an empathy for the other side of this conversation. For the people being told once again that they are genetically and environmentally and at any rate immutably less intelligent and that our social policy should reflect that. I think part of the absence of that empathy is it doesn’t threaten you. I don’t think you see a threat to you in that, in the way you see a threat to you in what’s happened to Murray. In some cases, I’m not even quite sure you heard what Murray was saying on social policy either in The Bell Curve and a lot of his later work, or on the podcast. I think that led to a blind spot, and this is worth discussing.
