I don't think anyone knows the whole answer of anything truly

2019-12-26 08:47:49 UTC  

Welcome to the world of science! It always is a **TRY** to get the answers right, not a CLAIM that we have actually reached them.

2019-12-26 08:48:58 UTC  

Not what I mean. I think all truths are half truths and can never be fully true as the description is not the thing described. Unless we separate truth from what is real and say that logic is as real as something in a state of existence

@yordanyordanov you don't need to know individual genes, it's called quantitative genetics and is an entire field

2019-12-26 16:54:05 UTC  

Or are you talking about the validity of mitochondria's actions like in those papers?

2019-12-26 18:22:06 UTC  

No, I was just questioning ComradeChaos' reductionist take on intelligence inheritance and owning him on his oversimplifications.

2019-12-26 18:40:29 UTC  

How are you "owning me" when I said myself intelligence isn't driven by a singular factor?

2019-12-26 18:58:20 UTC  

I was just replying to Bobby about the nice discussion we had and why I felt the need to have it in the first place.

2019-12-26 19:14:52 UTC  

"Felt the need"
I feel like something other than what happened in reality played out in your head

2019-12-26 19:41:17 UTC  

It's just possible we think differently and you're not someone who questions things.

@ComradeChaos Saying that "all truths are half truths that can never be fully true" is too much of a simplification and doesn't see through to the reality of our understanding. A much better way to put it would be "most things that are considered to be truth only touch on one or more aspects of a deeper and more complex truth" "all things that we as humans claim to know as truth contain varying levels of actual truth" and "some beliefs and ideas are more true than others and it takes a deep understanding of true logic and nature of the universe/understanding that our grasp on said nature is ephemeral to truly start to work out which "truths" are based on real truth and which are not"

@Troye sometimes simplicity can be elegant

2019-12-27 04:20:41 UTC  

Shit
You linked your entire archive
Looks like I have my science reading filled for the week lol

2019-12-27 04:22:00 UTC  

@Troye I'm just good at finding interesting things

2019-12-27 04:22:34 UTC  

I will keep that in mind when I need something interesting found

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/09553002.2011.626490 always interesting to also read the comments on some of these articles

> New research suggests that even college students who overwhelmingly report that they accept interracial relationships show greater activity in the insula — a brain region associated with disgust — when presented with images of black-white interracial couples than when presented with images of same-race couples.

Tfw your brain is the enemy

^can confirm

Breaking news: Research confirms what people with a brain have already known.

2019-12-29 12:59:04 UTC  

Next thing they’ll make the outrageous claim that similar brain areas light up.

2019-12-29 14:00:08 UTC  

@Goddess Tyche Grill confirmed?

2019-12-29 14:01:04 UTC  

I can roast really well.

2019-12-29 14:03:56 UTC  

Not grill?
