Blah, blah, blah... you're just another phony and pseudo intellect... I've really tried to see things from your perspective, but I just can't get my head that far up my ass... GZ

>> That was one persons view and has been widely criticized by the world of psychology. It is the racists desire to segregate our species, so they believe that shit. One of my degrees is in experimental psychology. So, it is "criticized by the world of psychology." Just like 97% of scientists believe in global warming. You seeing a trend, here? I do. The question is what the science says. This seems to be a persistent problem with you Koan. You don't understand the science, although you give lip service to it. But you are easily sucked in by the group think of others like yourself. Herrnstein & Murray proved scientifically every conclusion they reached. And there has been no credible, scientific refutation of their findings. Yet it is true -- liberal psychologists, highly biased in their views, found the book outrageous. They simply didn't like the facts. Even today, Harvard is in the news for requiring far higher admission test scores for Asians than for Whites, for Whites than for blacks. Why is THAT? Are Asians economically advantaged? >> Modern psychology says no baby talk. I don't know or care what psychology says. In the science of language development, it is understood that while parents must continually introduce new words and phrases, baby talk is just fine so long as it isn't stagnant. In fact, one of the problems we're seeing with mixed receptive/expressive disorders is that some kids are being asked to structure well-formed sentences before they're able and it actually retards their performance and some segment will benefit from avoiding the demands of proper speech and grammar. If a child cannot properly enunciate a word but uses "his version" of the word correctly, sometimes that is an amazing accomplishment for that child. >> The brain can be made strong with exercise, just like a muscle. Perhaps. But there are many people who cannot do algebra and will never, ever be able to do algebra. There are many people who can't play music and will never be able to do so. No matter how hard they try. >> Animals which get inadequate stimulation when young are retarded for life. Animals who are taught to depend on handouts will depend on handouts for life. That doesn't seem to bother you. I think it is abundantly clear that your lip service about science is just that. You have no real understanding of it, I don't believe you can do basic math, and I believe your ideas are almost always colored by your political views far more than they are by any understanding you may have developed.

If you are so damn smart and highly educated, why are you selling real estate in Alaska?

We are all born dumb. We learn to get smart. We are born with an animal brain. The trick is to change it to an existential mind. We are the only animal that can do that and is what makes us unique in the animal world. Not quite right, my friend, clever people get clever kids, a fact. So, here the short version on how to become a smart person: 1. First of all, pick clever parents 2. Next, pick a clever woman for wife 3. Next, you get clever kids Easy, right? /Taro
