What strange unknown texts have I stumbled upon?

2019-12-20 05:39:31 UTC  

1/10, should have said "norf, souf"

Technically it's not she who said it

2019-12-22 19:21:46 UTC  

She quoted someone else who said that white people who claim to be colorblind are dangerous

2019-12-23 04:21:12 UTC  

agree

2019-12-23 04:22:38 UTC  

blacks and hispanics already view themselves as distinct groups and act politically in the interests of that group

Took Sargon 5 years

2019-12-24 20:04:38 UTC  

Reparations for Anglo-Saxons I say!

THE GENES ARE GAY!!! <:thinkcide:462282415549841409>

2019-12-26 08:17:01 UTC  

Now that last one is bordering pseudoscience.

@yordanyordanov
I'm not trying to claim any of these are 100 percent true, it's just information I found from a question I had about the importance of the powerhouse of the cell in relation to brain function. That would be passed down maternally. This may illuminate the reason behind matrilineal or gynocentric cultures

2019-12-26 08:28:32 UTC  

I think that intelligence inheritance is way too complex to have a single answer.

2019-12-26 08:29:33 UTC  

You probably can't nail it down to mitochondria only. It's the result of a complex gene interaction involving dozens, if not hundreds of genes.

2019-12-26 08:30:35 UTC  

Putting only one of these on the forward without taking into account the rich possibilities of many other interactions is right away mischievous.

2019-12-26 08:32:10 UTC  

It's not the whole answer but it seems to be part of it

2019-12-26 08:32:20 UTC  

That's not how good science is being maid.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30816797/

I don't know what "good is science" is exactly. I make observations about the world as it is presented to me based on both my local experience and the best information I can find beyond that and ask questions as a means of seeing if other people have taken steps to establish a reason for what is observed.

2019-12-26 08:34:51 UTC  

I mean you would need much more than a single gene or an organelle to explain something as complex as intelligence inheritance.

2019-12-26 08:37:06 UTC  

@yordanyordanov that's why I'm not saying it's just one thing and also linking to studies which seem to suggest stimulation of the serotonin transport receptor 2a causes enhanced neuroplasticity

2019-12-26 08:37:49 UTC  

Neuroplasticity is not the same as overall intelligence, I mean problem solving ability.

2019-12-26 08:39:37 UTC  

Sure it helps, but it's not all of the answer.

2019-12-26 08:40:10 UTC  

You're giving the brain an opportunity to make associations it wouldn't otherwise make. During a psychedelic experience your brain activity is lowered in areas which would normally gate cross communication between regions of the brain that wouldn't otherwise communicate. In theory that should improve fluid intelligence. New synaptic pathways form based on non random hallucinations

2019-12-26 08:42:05 UTC  

I said it may *influence* it.

2019-12-26 08:43:56 UTC  

However, I never said it is a key to the WHOLE answer. Please, keep that distinction.

2019-12-26 08:44:45 UTC  

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