An Enquiring Mind Wants to Know

It’s called size of parts of the organ and nerve fiber density. I think you have more to learn, besides, we know from IQ tests that this is a fact.

IQ is everything! Not really. Creativity is more important.

They were way off-topic… hence the deletions, but I see no reason why you shouldn’t quote them, so please feel free to.

IQ test tell us only how quickly people can do rudimentary maths. A calculator can do much better but has tiny brain size. I know that there are no male or female parts of the brain and that heads the same size hold the same size brain. Are you saying that nerve fibre density is greater in brains the same size but of a different sex? and that if true, then female brains wouldn’t have other aspects of the brain to compensate or are we talking gaps again.

Steven Pinker thinks there’s some kind of balance, he sugar coats it by saying that men have more extreme phenotypes than women, that they will be the dumbest on the planet and the smartest on the planet and women are more balanced in their intelligence… when you’re talking an exponential difference in intelligence between 10 IQ points, it doesn’t seem very balanced to me. The most accurate measure of intelligence on IQ tests in terms of predictive outcome is spatial IQ. So I think it is you who have more to learn.

Why not a mixture… a triage of attributes? I doubt that any one sole attribute would be the glean in the eye of the most intelligent.

I think it’s a case of extrovert exuberance Vs introvert boundaries and nothing more, so a fuss over nothing? Yes!

Male brains on average have larger and more dense…

"Einstein had twice as many glial cells as normal males — the discovery caused an international sensation as well as scientific criticism.

What are glial cells? Previously, scientists believe that neurons were responsible for thinking and glial cells were support cells in the brain. Now Researchers believe the glial cells play a critical role in brain development, learning, memory, aging and disease."

I was looking for the part of the brain, that was also twice as large but couldn’t find it… it’s the one associated with spatial memory. Unfortunately my memory IQ is in (or less than) the 1 percentile. I’ll keep looking.

If you took two groups of men and separated them for 2,000 years, one not be allowed access to knowledge and the other does have access, they would develop different intellectual specialisations. They would both have the same brain size with a different utility of that ~ it stands to reason. …women are similar to that.

IQ is information based, id argue that humans higher intellectual functions are in how the speech cortex talks with the visual cortex. Y’know like with visualisation, how some people with aspergers can do complex maths in some bazaar visual manner. Look into your own mind, the higher function is more fluid and expressive, conceptual objects interact then invention, inspiration, art, music and everything that makes humans better than machines happens.

look, physically the brain is just a bunch of multiswitches and connections, that doesn’t explain the whole of the intellect especially as there is no way to correlate information as we know it with electrical or other signals. how can a concept be a signal?

“None of” what? And “like” what? Amorphos, I do not know what your point is. You haven’t read my last post, have you? Please read it! Probably and unfortunately you don’t know what she wrote and what I wrote some days ago, because - unfortunately - Mags has deleted the posts (but I have the copies!). And why should I response to this nonsense in general? Can you tell me that? And why do you not write me a pm? Is this thread the “thread of the Last Judgement” or the “ILP kindergarten thread”?

There is no problem at all, except an ballooned one. I hope we can call it “Problem Descending” (do you have humor?), because now it is still a “Problem Arising”. But why should I care about it? it is an almost empty problem, Amorphos!

If you really (really!) want to know why she had that emotional outburst, then read my post above or/and write me a pm! Do you not know that also princesses are able to insult?

Howsoever, Amorphos, I hope I get some texts from you.

Hey …(?) …!

Be very careful, dear Amorphos: she is a “lady”! :wink:

Thanks, I had already quoted and then deleted them in this thread (not in my personal computer), because I thought that you would delete them again. :laughing:

I do not know what I am going to do in this case, because this ballooned problem of nearly nothing is a strange experience.

Spatial IQ is the number one indicator for reality orientation and success in reality (hence why men basically have all the inventions)… they are also really the ones most interested in philosophy, (discussions about reality orientation), and are also better at making logically sound debates. Because just like they are on average TALLER than women, they ON AVERAGE have higher spatial IQ’s than women. That’s why men speak several thousand words a day less than women do, just like Einstein didn’t start speaking until he was 5 years old and everyone thought he was retarded, I didn’t start speaking until 5 as well.

There was some writing in red and blue, but i couldn’t understand it.

Believe me mate i just come out of a marriage with that problem [the ‘poor me’ i am a female thing], some women think they are in the right and plead to other males as means of gaining strength they don’t have. I just don’t think arc is like that.

You are right that i have missed the conversation, perhaps it was in the religion section that i haven’t been to lately. It all seems childish so i would rather not know the details, i am just saying that i hope i wouldn’t talk to a lady like that, should i not be a gentleman?

Me too. Yet isn’t language and communication the very thing that humans have and other creatures don’t, so assumedly it is the higher [human] function [very general I know]. A computer which can communicate in a faster or more dexterous manner than another, is a better computer, no?

I’m just saying this isn’t a fair debate. Like i said in my first post in this thread, I read all those posts (I didn’t even bother to read the OP because I read the sources) and Arcturus started, and is, in this thread, stalking. It doesn’t matter the character of the person she is stalking, that is just the basic fact, and she wanted the facts.

Dexterous does not imply number of output, what we’re looking for is quality of output. Men have women beat on spatial IQ, and that is the reality orientation part of intelligence. The tallest man in the world is 8’4", WAY taller than any women, the same goes for spatial IQ, the man with the highest spatial IQ exceeds the highest female spatial IQ by at least 50 points, if not more, and 10 points is an exponential jump.

is ‘stalking’ the right word, is English is a second language to you? trying to find something out, isn’t the same as stalking. at most its persistent, but stalking would occur usually over an extended period, and cyber-stalking is not in the same league as real life ‘stalking’. its your choice of words here that are problematic perhaps.

I take cyber-stalking very seriously Amorphos. People commit suicide because of it. I think you need to scale back what you said.

Jeez, Arc you are not a stalker my friend.
For everyone : How does the process of making friends and being socially caring work? What is the process? Is this forum about just mechanics or humanity? Every damn one of us is here to socialize and learn. Get a grip and be human/e

No.

[size=120]I begged her six times that she should leave me alone with her childish nonsense, but she did not.[/size]

Promising title - disappointing OP.

I know nothing about your little stalking incident, but just seeing the length of the OP and the tone of your language, I’m inclined to think that you did act sort of stalker-ish.

I never saw you as a stalker. You want a good example of a stalker. Try the one that rides my ass.
