isnt there some link between high intelligence and depression, or at least some kinds of social disorders? my ex is probably the smartest person i know, and both she and her twin sister have struggled with depression (although her sister was later diagnosed as being bipolar and had to drop out of college).

ugh, i gave that clunker a once-over

my own issues with it:

- not peer reviewed

- sociobiology is already a tenuous method, using it for political analysis is a larger leap of faith. add to that historical politics, dang.

- he uses historical data, but isn't a historian by training (ie: he might trust his sources too much)

- his hypothesis about it being censored or repressed has not come true

bringing evolution to the humanities has been trendy lately, much to my personal dismay. a lot of the junk that gets turned out of fields like evolutionary psychology rely on entirely speculative or hypothetical thought exercises. there's also been a strand of evolutionary thought that interprets darwin in a dangerous way, which is herbert spencer's "survival of the fittest". it would be more accurate to say "survival of the fit enough".

this should probably go to the philosophy thread though my bad for everyone who came here to hear embarassing stories

i confess that i actually enjoy jim jarmusch's movies

edit: wow just revisted a few chapters and there's a lot of crypto-fascism and racist stuff in there. this guy really didn't understand his topics

Watching "Ancient Aliens" on history channel reaffirms my "I am miniscule" belief of myself & keeps a smile on my face win lose or draw.

Seriously? Ancient Aliens makes you deeply reflect on life? Ancient Aliens? Holy fuck.

So far I personally cant think of a single thing because even something as great as the hadron collider which discovered "the God particle" can be explained, but huge stones in a desert cant?

edit: nevermind i read your question wrong
