08:13 pm - Boredom, Time to Write Stuff Well, I have been feeling a little meh these days so I'll just talk about somethings that have been going around in my head. 1. Some of you know I have been taking an Animal Behvaior Class, this week I have a test. Some of you guys know what the "The Bellcurve" by Charles Murray and the late Richard Hernstein is, it came out around 1994. There has been a bit of arguing and stuff that has been going on about it because it explains the genetic differences between men, women, and races. Apparently, anyon with a PhD can say anything he wants. I am going to read this book but atm I have been reading Murray's more recent work, "The Inequality Taboo". It upsets me that people can be so...idiotic. Apparently, for this political science PhD holder, science isn't his forte...Well would've known? a. Races are gentically different ex. sickle cell is an African disease. Uh...now they are not. If he knew anything about the out of Africa theory, then he would've have know the first migration took place around 2 million years ago. That was Homo erectus. Our ancestor migrated our of Africa 100,000 years ago, and if Murray knew how evolution worked, 100,00 years is way too little time for genetics to modify that much that races would have different genetics...Then he wouldn't have said something like that. Really the only difference among us is the amounts of skin coloring we have. Genetics have nothing to do with it at all! There is a group of Africans that have been isolated that have basically all the genes of the world, you have people with dark skin and blue eyes. Please if you're going to write/say comments like this do your research. Sickle cell came about because of malaria, there are people in Europe that have sickle cell too, because malaris is there too. Murray probably doesn't know what alleles are. b. Intelligence isn't based primarily on genes. There are too many factors, social class, environment, and other things that influence this. I can name a multitude of science papers that explain this. I won't go into this too much. c. Women and kids...in Murray's paper part of the reason women are not "higher" on the sucessful scale is because we have this maternal instinct. Gee I wonder if he takes into account that back in the early days Victorian, geez even in the 50's women were expected to have a nuclear family. To a certain extent this is applied to us today especially in 3rd world countries. d. g is a component of I.Q that can be inherited. g has workings with brain PH levels, reaction time, etc etc. g is also the correlation between the amount of gray matter in the frontal cortex. g-loaded tests are not those of the SAT's and other standardized tests, but tests like remembering tests backwards. Example, if i gave you a series of number like 12563, i would ask you to say the backwards so 36521. There is a way to measure g. So.... another thing to explain is the Flynn effect. The Flynn effect is the face that each generation is getting smarter. So, for example if your grandma took an IQ test today, she would be borderline retarded. So...if we're all getting smarter why isn't the amount of g increasing?So the increase of I.Q do not represent increases of g. So....I see a problem. e. Men are better at abstract concepts and women at memory, because men had to use a spear and hit animals and travel far from home. Women stayed near the home picking plants and remembering the good ones and the bad ones. Ok, this shit accounts for our differences...You know like math being the most abstract and lit being least. What proof abd where may I find the drug that makes one so delusional? 2. Baseball season...uh go sox. That's about it. 3. World of Warcraft..girls can't dps. Learn or just heal, kthanx. (This includes myself, but hell I tank, go droods!) Till next time, Peace. Going to raise my pokemons. Current Mood: complacent Current Music: Sugar- System of a Down

03:37 pm You scored 80 Heterosexuality, 23 Homosexuality, and 45 Asexuality! You are either straight or bisexual (with an interest in the opposite gender) with a moderate to high sex drive. The higher your score in heterosexuality, the more you are attracted to the opposite gender. A higher asexuality score means that you place a bigger emphasis on the emotional aspects of a relationship and less on the physical. My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 67% on Heterosexuality You scored higher than 52% on Homosexuality You scored higher than 91% on Asexuality Link: The 3-Variable Sexuality Spectrum Test written by kitsunechild on Ok Cupid, home of the 32-Type Dating Test Current Mood: confused
