Ignorance and stupidity are almost defining characteristics of humans. On a scale of 0 to 1000 with 0 being a rock, and 1000 being omniscient, the average human fits in at about 0.1

Which puts us well above frogs, but at about the same level as chimps.

People misuse statistics and numbers as well as science. Such as inventing silly scales of sentience.

I don't think it's that people misuse science so much as they are too stupid to understand it.

You are right that what we do with information is what matters. Knowing that women are less intelligent than men, we should still treat them as human, but give them jobs making tea and scones, wearing little dresses and looking really nice. They are also excellent for sexual relations. They are obviously not blokes. Blokes are good for jobs involving frogs, and snails, and puppy dog tails.

Blokes are blokes by instinct. Little grandson Hayes for example, was chatting up our son's girlfriend when he was 1.5 months old. I was away overseas and saw a photo of him and her and I thought it was just a moment photo, but later heard that indeed he was playing up to her.

And sure enough, when I returned, I'd take him walking and women would go nuts over him and he'd be charming them. He never bothered with blokes. He gets in the mud, demands a screw driver, throws stuff, loves cow poop up the local mountain. He is going to have to play rugby to burn off his energy. At school, where teachers are nearly all women and they try to turn boys into girls, they'll have to give him ritalin. Not that he can't concentrate. He won't mentally budge from something he's interested in. But when they try to force him to learn how to do lace doilies and play pat a cake and play nicely with the other girls [and boys who have been given ritalin], he will appear unable to concentrate.

"Scientists" will supply ritalin to "correct" something that isn't wrong. He is like his father, who was a top rugby player, charms the ladies and is not normally mistaken for a girl. Which is not surprising as son's are usually like their fathers. Crocodile fathers don't have sheep babies.

There is a couple we know who had a little boy who was about two and is now 18 or 19. We were at their place and the sports-minded business-man father was kicking a soccer ball towards little James. James was a nice little boy. He wasn't really interested in playing kick the ball and there were aspects to his demeanour that I thought that he was a little homosexual. I didn't say anything of course. Now it has turned out, much to his father's dismay, he has a boyfriend. The poor father didn't know what the hell to do or think. He was apparently really upset. I hadn't seen them for decades as they moved away but my wife caught up with the mother in the last year or so.

Maybe little grandson can be cured of being boysterous, and maybe James can be cured of being gay, scientifically speaking, and maybe some ladies can be cured of excessive cleanliness, use of toiletries, putting clothes in washing machines and drawers, hen-pecking husbands and taught to hold a map the right way around and navigate. I will not bet on it.
