    Um. Pseudoscience. Backward. And by someone who is irrelevant. She’s discussing the fact that the size of differences in brain regions is limited. That does not mean the connection and transmission isn’t signfigant.

    We don’t ‘trust the science’ because that means’ trust the scientists’ when there is just as logarithmic a distribution in the competency of scientists as every other profession.

    A great deal of my work codifies sex differences in perception, auto association, valuation, prediction, cognition, and attention.

    Contrary to the pseudoscientific postwar movement to deny differences by the marxist-sequence of pseudo intellectuals, all differences in human behavior are reducible to sex differences in cognition, and sex differences in cognition are reducible to a very small number of variables: predator vs prey, longitudinal speed of valuation vs lateral breadth of valuation, systemic vs empathic, operational vs verbal, over time vs in time, productive and capitalizing vs hyperconsumptive, and status by responsibility for commons vs status by seeking irresponsibility for the commons. That’s really all there is to it.

    Same for big 5/6 personality traits vs facets.

    Sorry. No more lies. End the century of pseudoscience.

  • That’s an interesting observation, that’s half true. Let me explain why: Science

    That’s an interesting observation, that’s half true. Let me explain why: Science isn’t an ideology. It’s a system of testifying to observable, measurable, existence, for the purpose of discovering the first principles, where first principles can be used to falsify (test) any statement we make. An ideology is a means of avoiding the truth or consistency altogether, and instead creating emotions so that political activism can achieve an end under democratic governments. Philosophy is a means of doing the same by rational and often by sophistry. Theology is the same by reasonable and occult means.

    So, it’s not ‘pessimistic’ to rely on the truth. Instead. It prevents people from lying in order to engage in ideoology, philosopy, and theology, or pseudoscience for that matter, to avoid the truth.

    Now most of us don’t care if you pursue preferences, or goods, as long as you don’t pursue falsehoods or bads. And while you make excuse the ‘crime’ of pursuing falsehoods and bades (particularly if you’re female or have a feminine intuition and moral bias, or indoctrinated into feminine intuition and cognition by addition to the abrahamic religions, you’re still engaging in a crime. And like all criminals and addicts, justifying your criminality.

    Some petty crimes are tolerable if they sedate your neuroticism, but you don’t externalize them socially or politically. But if you do externalize them socially or politically, then it’s just a crime that we choose to prosecute or not.

    And degeneracy is what results from not prosecuting them. And that is our current condition.

    Irresponsible degeneracy. šŸ˜‰

  • “Serialize the sciences by timescale, and the closer you get to NOW (behavioral)

    –“Serialize the sciences by timescale, and the closer you get to NOW (behavioral), you will face more and more resistance from the people who can’t behave. What about conquering their resistance? It yields behavioral resilience. The more you cover FUTURE (evolutionary computation), the more the possessors of poor evocomp strategies will find a TELEOLOGICAL resistance (an ideological falsehood that can outlast its carrier). The more you cover physics, however, you engage the ire of anyone with a creation story, which includes many physicists.”– Michael

    Pessimistic but true statements. šŸ˜‰

    It means that it doesn’t require that level of precision to explain human behavior. Most of the value is in 1) neural cell migration and connection during development, 2) dendrites, what axons connect to (near,far), the neural column, macrocolum, region. 3) the bias in the hemispheres vs the corpus callosum 4) the disambiguation of objects, spaces, and borders 5) the synthesis in the hippocampal region’s proprioception, measurements of direction, modeling, episode formation, and auto association 6) then just the thalamic attention, and frontal cortex regulation. 7) After that is largely sex differences in cognition and an explanation of personality traits and intelligence that emerge from those sex differences, developmental differences, and quality of neural transmission.

    In my experience teaching the subject the most useful material is provided by the hippocampal construction of direction, velocity, turning, spaces, places, locations. And for the supernerds, why the brain relies on triangles. And as such why our brains use about the same methods as do our 3d video games.

    After that, most social and political issues arise from sex personality and intelligence differences which together produce our behavioral differences.
