I have a question for those who are knowlegable about the differences between a male and a female's brain

2019-02-27 12:38:45 UTC  

Despite lacking conscience, awarness and wisdom

2019-02-27 12:39:43 UTC  

In the ranks of intelligence is a female brain as cappable as a male brain ?

2019-02-27 12:40:42 UTC  

There is the statistical *possibility* that, in terms of raw intellect, there is a selection of women that can reach the upper echelons.

2019-02-27 12:41:21 UTC  

That's what i thought

2019-02-27 12:41:48 UTC  

However, they are less *probable* to reach those levels. Older research shows a flatter curve, meaning more near the center. More recent research indicates that they average a few points behind men with a similar curve, meaning they are basically handicapped for raw intellect.

2019-02-27 12:42:35 UTC  

I would argue against the latter finding because I believe modern nutrition has horribly handicapped everyone that adopts "western" dietary practices.

2019-02-27 12:42:50 UTC  

Yes

2019-02-27 12:43:09 UTC  

I saw a study about this few years ago. It seems men dominate both extremes, while women tend to be stuck in the middle.

2019-02-27 12:43:18 UTC  

Yes, that's the older research.

2019-02-27 12:43:26 UTC  

I'm not sure about it's reliability though

2019-02-27 12:43:34 UTC  

There's newer data, I think it's the raven study, that puts their whole curve behind men.

2019-02-27 12:43:42 UTC  

Kind of like the data showing that blacks are behind whites.

2019-02-27 12:44:08 UTC  

Is the average female intellectually equal to that of an average man's ?

2019-02-27 12:44:19 UTC  

That's where the two studies diverge.

2019-02-27 12:44:41 UTC  

The flatter curve research says yes, the more recent shifted curve data clearly says no.

2019-02-27 12:45:33 UTC  

What about an intellect that, hasn't been meddled with by society like in the west

2019-02-27 12:45:37 UTC  

I remeber age being a very important factor as well

2019-02-27 12:46:09 UTC  

Apparently women are way far ahead of us in their early years

2019-02-27 12:46:11 UTC  

Well, don't confound the conversation with random variables that we can't control for.

2019-02-27 12:46:24 UTC  

That doesn't actually affect IQ, that's just a metric of development.

2019-02-27 12:46:29 UTC  

But they stagnate after puberty

2019-02-27 12:46:35 UTC  

Weird stuff

2019-02-27 12:46:46 UTC  

Oh ok

2019-02-27 12:46:53 UTC  

In effect, they just get to the end earlier.

2019-02-27 12:47:00 UTC  

I should read it again

2019-02-27 12:47:27 UTC  

Turns out IQ caps out genetically, and we have no real way of improving it. But we can impair it in a whole fuckload of ways.

2019-02-27 12:47:54 UTC  

Recall, the addition of iodine to salt saw an average increase in the US IQ of 5 points.

2019-02-27 12:48:15 UTC  

My iq can’t cap

2019-02-27 12:48:26 UTC  

I’m growing 0.13 a day

2019-02-27 12:48:31 UTC  

Im at 97 now

2019-02-27 12:48:33 UTC  

But then you hear about places like Shitholeistan countries where they are barely packing 90s.

2019-02-27 12:48:53 UTC  

Thanks for the information gentlemen

2019-02-27 12:48:57 UTC  

I appreciate it

2019-02-27 12:49:12 UTC  

@JDB you serious about the 97?

2019-02-27 12:49:18 UTC  

Hahaha

2019-02-27 12:49:34 UTC  

Then you have to ask, is it because they are genetically inferior, or is it because their civilization is a trainwreck and the people never manage to actually develop to their potential?

2019-02-27 12:49:50 UTC  

A snapshot can't answer that question.

2019-02-27 12:49:51 UTC  

Hmmm

2019-02-27 12:50:16 UTC  

The fact that they have outliers shows promise, but also can't answer the question.

2019-02-27 12:50:16 UTC  

I prefer to believe the later
