I realize you're just quoting wikipedia, but I don't think Weyl is cited in _The Bell Curve_. See TBC 1996 Free Press ed. pp. 289 and 565-566 (Afterword). Maybe Weyl was one of the sources for Lynn 1991 (see TBC p. 289 n. 46)? Weyl's not in the TBC bibliography. Wiki's source for Weyl being one of the sources appears to be Jet Heer (see wiki n. 12); his source appears to be Charles Lane.
>His range of topics is amazing, typical of the best of bloggers (Scott Alexander, Razib Khan).
I find comparing Weyl to Scott Alexander to be disrespectful. One is a dishonest spectacle merchant and the other has significant intellectual output and admirable integrity. (Khan I know far less of).

Do you think he’s related to Glen Weyl?
It's not that rare, seems. I don't see any connections between them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_(surname)#Weyl
Nathaniel Weyl's dad was on the east coast, Glen is born in SF. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Weyl
