Abstract
The origin of values and preferences is an unresolved theoretical question in behavioral and social sciences. The Savanna-IQ Interaction Hypothesis, derived from the Savanna Principle and a theory of the evolution of general intelligence, suggests that more intelligent individuals may be more likely to acquire and espouse evolutionarily novel values and preferences (such as liberalism and atheism and, for men, sexual exclusivity) than less intelligent individuals, but that general intelligence may have no effect on the acquisition and espousal of evolutionarily familiar values (for children, marriage, family, and friends). The analyses of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Study 1) and the General Social Surveys (Study 2) show that adolescent and adult intelligence significantly increases adult liberalism, atheism, and men’s (but not women’s) value on sexual exclusivity.

It's called pride; being wise in one's own eyes; being wise, they become fools.

a better way of looking at it is that being intelligent will typically lead you to atheism, but that atheism in of itself doesn't mean you are intelligent. It's not really an einsteinian notion that there isn't an invisible man that knows everything about you.

Being an atheist is really just an indication that you are a lot less likely to be insane.

Where Brains Go to Be Washed

No matter what IQ you were born with, you stop using it once you believe in the absurdity of getting a job just because you can go four or more years without a job, which is all college "education" means. In college, you live like a child. So you wind up with the mind of a child. Any talent you had going in atrophies because of robotic parroting of what your father figure professors spoon feed you. Liberalism is a mental disability that arises from that mind-raping.

Nutters in their nests agree - anybody who learns to think for himself is brainwashed, whereas the backwoods thickoes who never read a book are highly individual and intelligent! Well, if it makes their lot happier! :)

Uh, but before college you literally do live like a child and have a father figure spoon feed you thoughts. College is broadening compared to that. At least you have new influences and academic rigor.

And you're also more apt to believe human embryos aren't really human and there are 23 genders lol.
 
today's colleges are little more then brainwashing, and nanny state "triggering".
They do not prepare anyone for a competitive society of ideas

No you are apt to believe roe v wade was decided using the concept of "person" under the law, and you are more likely to be aware of the diversity of human sexuality and take a less rigid and compartmentalized stereotyped simplistic view hardened by religious shaming.

Anybody that claims you went to college and were treated like a child for 4 years or that it didn't prepare you for a competitive society either 1) Didn't go to college 2) Didn't go to a college worth a shit or 3) Didn't pay attention when you were there.

Apart from the hard sciences [hard to be PC with organic chemistry lol] colleges produce cookie-cutter liberal ideologues.

And it is no accident.

College isn't "broadening" anymore. It now shuts down freedom of speech, civilized debate and thought and condones violence to protect their "our way or the highway" ideas.

It's science. It's DNA.
X and Y chromosomes = male
pair of X's = female
Deal with it.

From the Genomics Research Centre:

Humans are born with 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. The X and Y chromosomes determine a person’s sex. Most women are 46XX and most men are 46XY. Research suggests, however, that in a few births per thousand some individuals will be born with a single sex chromosome (45X or 45Y) (sex monosomies) and some with three or more sex chromosomes (47XXX, 47XYY or 47XXY, etc.) (sex polysomies). In addition, some males are born 46XX due to the translocation of a tiny section of the sex determining region of the Y chromosome. Similarly some females are also born 46XY due to mutations in the Y chromosome. Clearly, there are not only females who are XX and males who are XY, but rather, there is a range of chromosome complements, hormone balances, and phenotypic variations that determine sex.

More "PASTY" intelligence...to prove that you are intelligent? Today's left wing word of the day


O X Y M O R O N

Simply because one has been educated (indoctrinated) lies....is not a sign of Intelligence.

As Mr. Reagan pointed out, "It isn't that liberals are ignorant...its just that know so many things that are not so."

"Because the Bible tells us so"
