By tomorrow I hope to be able to get intelligence researchers to pay even closer attention to your questions, so please keep them coming. For example, we currently have the unanswered question: how does one increase conscientiousness? There is now a new answer on the question of genetic regression to the mean from Michael Woodley.
If you live in London let me know if you would prefer to put the questions directly to the researchers yourself.
I'm around London for the next few days, but I think I might be seeing everyone at BSPID tomorrow anyway.
ReplyDelete"how does one increase conscientiousness?"
ReplyDeletedear god how f---ing retarded. there's no such thing as "conscientiousness".
psychology has become the stepchild of economics in ideology.
let me put it all caps for you:
MAN IS THE SOCIAL ANIMAL PAR EXCELLENCE. INNATE INDIVIDUAL TRAITS DO NOT EXIST!!!
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES DO EXIST, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IN THE CONTEXT OF A PARTICULAR SOCIETY AT A PARTICULAR TIME.
WHAT YOU CALL CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, I CALL PUSHY OBEDIENT STRIVING AND UNREFLECTIVENESS.
THE UK AND US ARE NOW F---ING SHITHOLES. ALL AS A RESULT OF IDEOLOGY. YOUR IRON LADY WAS A CUNT.
Why don't you start a blog instead of posting variations of the same comment over and over again for every single post at many different blogs? You've made the comments section at two of my favourite blogs, Information Processing and now Psychological Comments unreadable with your knowledge of genetics and mathematical terms, but complete lack of common sense and understanding. West Hunter kicked you out, as did JayMan. Heres to hoping this blog will follow suit.

ReplyDeleteHow can you be sure there's no innate human predisposition towards being a social animal? Could we have achieved the maximum intensity sociality you claim we have if we're a species without any innate predisposition for it? Bees are highly social. Is their swarm-like behaviour simply a learned byproduct of being nurtured in a hive cultural environment? That seems unlikely.
"What you call conscientiousness, I call pushy obedient striving and unreflectiveness."
Pushy obedience? Isn't that an oxymoron? Like self-assertive submissiveness?
If we want to change our shithole society into a non-shithole society, aren't we more likely to succeed if we approach the task conscientiously?
