  • Hypothalamus

    Dec 5, 2019, 9:23 PM HYPOTHALAMUS (Regarding drastic difference in women taking ‘the pill’.) (Hypothesis: the female brain evolved to sustain moods in the care of children, and absent children the female brain does not mature, and in the absence of the reproductive cycle declines. Which is what we see in the data. So without competition boys infantilize and without children girls infantilize – and infantilizing causes behavior in humans similar to caged animals in zoos.) WHAT DOES THE HYPOTHALAMUS DO? The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei (groups of neurons that work to calculate specialized functions). All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it is the size of an almond. The hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland and is responsible for the regulation of multiple metabolic processes and other functions of the autonomic nervous system (what you can’t control. By synthesizing and secreting certain neurohormones, called Releasing Hormones or Hypothalamic Hormones (messengers), that stimulate or inhibit the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, causing your body to react to real or imagined information by translating information for the pituitary gland. Using these messages, the hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The human male and female reproductive cycles are controlled by the interaction of hormones from the hypothalamus and anterior(front of the) pituitary with hormones from reproductive tissues and organs. When the reproductive hormone is required, the hypothalamus sends a hormone to the pituitary. This causes the release into the blood of a hormone (‘follicle-stimulating’) that promotes the formation of ova or sperm, and another hormone (‘luteinizing”) that stimulates ovulation in females and the synthesis of androgen in males.

  • Via Negativa in Intelligence: Genetic Load Causes Stupidity

    VIA NEGATIVA IN INTELLIGENCE: GENETIC LOAD CAUSES STUPIDITY A somewhat popular post from ’12 that made the rounds. It follows my understanding that the size of the brain largely determines its capacity for intelligence and that the accumulation of defects causes stupidity, rather than, intelligence being a specific modification. This would mirror the data in that intelligence seems to be produced by many sequences. Or conversely, that many sequences can inhibit intelligence. http://www.wiringthebrain.com/2012/07/genetics-of-stupidity.html?

Women can’t help saying it. Its a test of feminine cognition.” Woman: “You can’t make a generalization like that. Not all women are like that.” Curt: Blank stare. Looks at floor. Sips from coffee cup. Walks away. Fking hopeless
