The God Equation

[Doc Dutch]

True

If it’s reality


Someday people will figure out a way to measure it


Higgs bosen was the same for a a long time

If mankind survives long enough to get off planet, I think it's only a matter of time before those mysteries are solved.

If there is a god or gods, then I picture them as you do.

BTW, received the uncut version of Stranger in a Strange Land two days ago. Am just a few chapters in. I'd forgotten how much I love that book.

I read it as a teen

It’s awesome


I should read it again too

Most women can control the libido.

Libidinousness makes men fuck up.

In civilization where men can't win with brute force, women have learned to use the advantage.

It's best not to look at broads as women in an adversarial discussion or negotiation.

Best to look at them as small, tricky guys with strange plumbing and potentially cruel tendencies.

Not that you're misogynist or anything though. lol

Awesome! This is the uncut version I'm reading now; it was published after his death in 1988.

that’s true

I do deep down have a belief in the goodness of humans

The turds alway make it harder to move forward than it should be

Excellent. I'd ordered a copy of "Alas, Babylon" but haven't cracked it yet.

Sounds like the right one for a reread

If I had to pick one book that has informed my whole life, it is that one.

Pro tip: Stock up on snacks, drinks, and survival food first. lol

You men are funny


One man bit that cracks me up is when you are pointing something out to them



They will refuse to look where a woman points when she points something out



Does it have to that man game where they say look at this and then flip them off?

Seriously dudes


What is running through your minds when you curtail the instinct to look when a woman tries to point to something ?


What a with it?

[Doc Dutch]

LOL Yes, it's hard to see the good in people when you are neck deep in assholes.

If I had to pick one book that has informed my whole life, it is that one.

It also impressed me

I made me feel Reassured in thoughts I had been having about religion and mankind

[evince]

LOL Yes, it's hard to see the good in people when you are neck deep in assholes.

Most people are mostly good


Too many are just 51% good


But their better being can at least be still appealed to


It’s very hard to reach the 25% ers

[evince]

Dang

every man I ask about that pointing thing won’t fess up about it


It’s so blatant


I’ve seen men do it all my life


It’s very telling

Men are more visual than verbal compared to women. Have you ever heard of American neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine's book "The Female Brain"? She states that at six weeks (?) when the Y chromosome kicks in that some brain demolition goes on in the language region and the aggression is ramped up.

She was hammered by critics for making such a big deal about differences that she publicly stated "Males and females are more alike than they are different. After all, we are the same species".

Regardless, it popularized the fact the males and females develop differently in both their brain and body. This is not a matter of superiority but a matter of difference like Yin-Yang.

Neuroscientists have known for many years that the brains of men and women are not identical. Men’s brains tend to be more lateralized—that is, the two hemispheres operate more independently during specific mental tasks like speaking or navigating around one’s environment. For the same kinds of tasks, females tend to use both their cerebral hemispheres more equally. Another difference is size: males of all ages tend to have slightly larger brains, on average, than females, even after correcting for differences in body size.

Electrical measurements reveal differences in boys’ and girls’ brain function from the moment of birth. By three months of age, boys’ and girls’ brains respond differently to the sound of human speech. Because they appear so early in life, such differences are presumably a product of sex-related genes or hormones. We do know that testosterone levels rise in male fetuses as early as seven weeks of gestation, and that testosterone affects the growth and survival of neurons in many parts of the brain. Female sex hormones may also play a role in shaping brain development, but their function is currently not well understood.
